Has anybody got any ideas as to how to make money on the internet without much effort and crucially without having to invest money, or much money. I have dabbled in ecommerce and found that my knowledge of SEO and of ecommerce in general was lacking so I gave up on this idea. I also do online surveys but find that these are too infrequent to make my good money even though i am signed up to about 5 or 6 sites. I also review products on two websites but again I hardly make any money? What would be the best way therefore to make more money online?

The best way to make more money is to put in some effort. LEARN whatever it is you need to learn and keep your nose to the grindstone; don't give up if it seems you might actually have to do some WORK(!) It sounds as if you are a dabbler and dabblers never succeed.

Don't you think that your answer is a bit rude by telling him that he his a dabbler and he won't succeed. I guess you should motivate him and not go against him. Tell him that he can try atleast

My answer may be harsh but, based on what he has said, it is fair. I didn't say that he IS a dabbler: I said that it SOUNDS as if he is.

In my experience I have never seen any quick rich program or effortless earning program. You need to work hard, very hard, learn many things, develop and build referrals, and wait patiently till you get good results.It takes time and until such time you should work hard without giving up.

Well said! This is pretty much what I wanted to say with my reply as well, you just summarized it better I guess :) I completely agree anyway!

There are many ways to earn online you need to find your niche to earn well though many of us here have sites we use that actually pay us on our profiles here so you could check them out to see if anything suits you.

Yeah there isn't really an answer to your question. Or I guess the answer is, there isn't. The sites that you already use are probably some of the better sites available. If you want to make money without doing anything then you need lots of referrals. If you're willing to work I would recommend finding a site to write articles for, at least for each task you complete you're awarded dollars instead of cents.

You have to work really hard to start something even small...at first. Then you will need a little luck to progess with it ;) even if you do business by NeoBux have to put some work on it to earn good money... But I think the easiest way to make good and really easy money is to start own website. Even then you should make it popular and that is really hard to do.

To make money online you need to work at it. Article writing is a good way to go. Sites like Triond and Helium are good and they do pay out. One of my fav's is a search engine called SwagBucks. You earn points for useing their serch engine and you can exchange points for paypal payments or other vouchers or prizes.

Hello, I have a pretty good system I belong to, it cost a small fee of $25.00 a month. Don't let that scare you because all you need is one member to join and your monthly fee is covered, and then you get other people to join and earn $25.00 for each and it just keeps adding up and up.You can go to my profile and check out my website from there, at least check it out it doesn't cost a thing to look and if you like it you can try it out for as long as you want. You can opt out and stop payment anytime you want with out no hassles..

I think that 'making money' and 'without much effort' is as much a oxiemoron as there comes. You have to put more effort in to make good money. Most millionaires will tell you they have saved and even become frugal to make what money they have. There is no realistic way to make money without putting forth some energy to do so.

I don't know any websites that give more money with any hard efforts. All websites that provide earnings should we need efforts and patient to make money... Your very lucky because you can make money through survey. I want to make money through survey too but here in our country. We are not allow to do survey because of the survey site allow only those in the Canada, USA, UK and Australia... What review site about products your doing at the moment, my friend?

It all requires some effort, I'm afraid. An auction site like eBay isn't too hard to earn from or selling on Amazon. There's also some cashback sites which pay you for signing up to offers which pay quite well. Most sites you find will require some effort, at least to start with.

What I know and also believe is that earning money in an honest way is not easy at all, it needs hard toil and this more so in case of internet where there is a large number of fake sites who are always trying to fraud you.

A really good website to make some extra cash is slicethepie, at first you start earning only 2 cents a review, but if you sit it on it regulary, you can make 20 cents a review. BTW, on this site you review music. It takes 60 seconds to listen to a song, another 60 seconds to review it. So you can be making 10 cents a minute, its pretty much like having a regular job.

As far as i know if you want to earn then you have to work for it. If you love chatting then i have a site that is really paying with just chatting, so everybody is chatting without thinking they are working. maybe you can try it and there's no harm in trying. Making friends all over the world and earning as well.

I have worked at Internet programs for around 10 years now, and I have not found an easy way to do this. In most business programs, it is active referrals that make a difference. I have always found it easy enough to get referrals, but active referrals are rare. I have blogs and websites and have had an element of success from affiliate programs, but this has involved working on network sites and building up an large friendship. To get traffic to a site, what I have found is that it is content that pushes up the page rates, then I have to keep adding content. The answer on-line is similar to a business off-line. Find a product that is in demand and supply it. Then you have to keep promoting it. And when everybody else finds out about it, you need to move on and find something else. _Derek

Hi! I am a single mother and I know how hard it is to earn money and I dont belive that there is ease way of earning money so I do suggest that you put hardwork in it,ample time and perseverance then you can earn money. We do have choices so if we choose to earn money it has a lot to do with determination,hard work and perseverance.

I found lots of sites that are good and I have found sites that took forever to get any money or were scams. I haven't found anywhere online yet where I could make enough money to make a living with it yet. That would be nice but I have found that the sites that I am a member on you have to go on there sites everyday or almost everyday and find out everything that you can do on that site that pays and try your best to do everything everyday so you can make more money. It is time consuming. I don't think there is a site to where you can get paid good and not do nothing hardly. That is how scams came out is because they know there is people out there that want that. Good luck and have a wonderful day.

Hi rostow, nice to meet you :) as I read you've already tried to review products but hardly made profits. May I suggest then a site that will make you money for sure? I'm talking about "Reviewstream" (this is the link www.reviewstream.com) where you get paid 2.50$ per review (only 0.50$ if it doesn't satisfied all the requirements); a friend of mine makes 40$ a day from that site. I also dedicate 1 hour a day and I average 10$ a day...It's not bad, you should try! If you want to know more don't hesitate to send me a private message...I'll be happy to guide you :)

Which online surveys have you signed up for? Cause maybe you haven't signed up to the best ones.
