Method One - Freelance Writing Jobs

There are any number of freelancer sites in the market place online today. Be it odesk, guru, get a freelancer, elance or get a coder, there are literally thousands of writing jobs open in the market today.Plus new ones keep getting posted every hour.

What you need to do is get registered for the basic free account with these sites as a writer. Then start bidding on the jobs that you feel capable of handling. It can take some time to get your first job, but once you have got that and your employer's review, things flow faster.

Tip to get that first job faster? Try and bid at a lower rate than the competition. It may be worth a lot more money, but if you invest in it as a build up for your portfolio it will help.

Method Two - Set Up A Blog

There are so many blogs online today that it will be easy to find a niche for yourself. True there is great competition, but if you are providing quality content, you will have yourself a good fan following soon enough. Then the monetisation will help you make money from the traffic that hits your blog.

What you need to do is register a domain name and get web hosting services in place. Then set about populating your blog with blog posts. Make sure you choose a niche that you know well. It can be very difficult blogging regularly about a topic you are not conversant with.

Tip to make blogging easier? Try and write as many posts as you can and then schedule them to be published one a day on the blog. That way you get free time to do other stuff and the blog still gets updated.

Method Three - Sell On Ebay

From a used pencil to any hand made craft you can sell just about anything online these days. There are many sites that allow you to open up a virtual store and make money online selling your products. However since Ebay is an established brand, it is easier to sell stuff when you are associated with them as plenty of traffic exists on the site.

What you need to do is register an account with them and post product details and photos online. You will need to set up a payment method by aligning paypal with your bank account and you may need to use your credit card to be verified. All this does not take any money from you. You will only pay Ebay when you make sales.

Tip to sell more things? Try and stick to a single category of products. For instance if you are good at procuring gadgets sell all kinds of interesting gadgets. Or if you are able to produce hand made cards stick to those. It will give you a better presence in the niche and people will be more likely to buy from you.
