Top 5 Proven Online Money Making Methods to Get Cash Fast

Everyone wants to make money online but too many good people fall into endless pitfalls of mlm, ebook, and other "buy in to participate" scams that are a waste of all of our time and patience. Don't worry because you won't find any of those here on the No BS Zone. Here are some proven methods I've found to legitimately make money online fast and start putting extra cash in your pocket today:

1. Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk) - a great service provided by amazon that allows you to sign up for free and complete simple tasks. It couldn't get any easier, they work ranges from classifying search engine results, to writing short 100-300 word articles to transcribing audio files and more. The majority of tasks range from $0.01 to $2.00 each to complete. It's piece work and the most you're able to hope for is a couple dollars per hour, but once you get a hang of it and complete a number of tasks you'll get access to the higher paying ones. I've made as much as $10.00 per hour but it's not common and you'll definitely get wrist cramps typing that fast!

2. Ebay - one of the most proven and trusted methods of selling your stuff online. There are still up and coming ebay sellers that become good at buying low and selling high and this can and does turn into a lucrative home business for many. However, this has been challenging lately in the down economy where goods are just not demanding as much money as they used to and there is more competition.

3. Blogger - arguably the best blogging service. Easy to create blogs, easy to post, easy to publish, easy to add adsense ads and affiliate ads via LinkShare.com or Commission Junction to your posts, easy to set up feedburner for more monetization. All in all a great blogging service that has limitations but still delivers advertising dollars to bloggers everywhere. If your blog becomes popular enough purchase a domain to get even more views and make more money online from your blog!

4. iStockPhoto - a great service that allows you to be a contributor and get paid commission for the photos and videos you upload. The way it works is that people need stock images for websites, products, marketing, ads, you name it! You provide that content and iStockPhoto pays generously 15% commission and more for top contributors. I'm just starting this myself and I'll let you know how it goes.

5. Freelance Article Writing - With the large number of news, niche, blogs, and how-to websites out there, the demand for good freelance authors of articles has never been better and is always increasing! You may not make much money at first, you can start by doing this on websites like Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk) and eHow. Once you get the hang of it and feel ready you can start a blog and submit your best articles to magazines and other publications. You may get lucky and get asked to do a guest post on another website or blog in your area of expertise. This can be a great way to make extra income and possibly hit the big time. A perfect example of how someone was incredibly successful at this is the creator of the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington. Her story is certainly not the norm but anything is possible right?

How to Make Money Online: Create Your Personal Brand

Whether you are a freelancer, blogger, webmaster, web merchant, mechanical turker, or some other aspiring web worker, you must demonstrate your value to the internet and the people who use it. It's all about eyeballs and getting users to view your content or use your products or services. To accomplish this, you must create your niche, or in other words, your own personal brand that is unique to you and offers something to users that others don't. Doing this is a complex undertaking.

Setting yourself apart is crucial for creating a unique and desirable brand. Doing this involves much more than just creating your logo or a flashy website. It's about carving out your niche and making it obvious why your approach is different and more beneficial than the next guy, or gal. It's important to remember that you cannot just build it and they will come. You must build something better for people to leave what they are currently using to use your website.

On that note, if what you're doing online doesn't create net benefits to your target user, they simply won't come back and will not use your service and you won't be very successful. I know what I'm saying here is a bit vague so let me get more specific.

To start building your personal brand you want to research your direct competition extensively. First, determine how much competition there is. Is your niche already too saturated? Are there opportunities to offer something different, or better than your competion? Determine what needs similar content or sites are serving. Are they doing it well? Are they under serving the community and if so, how? Find the under served areas of your niche and serve them!

If you're a freelancer this means offering services not offered by your competition or better customer service. If you're a blogger this means exploiting the weak areas of information in your chosen topic and creating a brand. For instance, if you're writing about cats, how is your topic different and honestly ask yourself or an impartial third party if you or they would visit your website and more importantly, come back again and again? If you say no, stop. Rethink, reorganize, redo what you were doing. This retooling of your approach to find what draws visitors back is necessary because repeat users are the key to a successful web business. If you need an example of a company that does this well look no further than Facebook.

Above all, be honest with yourself, don't let your pride get in the way! Believe me, I've done this far too many times and it never works out. If what you're doing isn't working, change, because the key to creating your personal brand is having the humility to admit when you're wrong and change when you need to.

Best of luck to all of you and here's hoping your future online income is great and your difficulties are small.

Thanks for reading!

How to Become a Blog Master in 5 Easy Steps

If you're a blogger you probably want to get more readers. Who doesn't want to be an blog master right? It is a dream of many bloggers to sit on their couch and make thousands of dollars every month doing what they love but how does one get there? How do they go from being a blog hobbyist to a blog master?

1. Start small. You must learn the trade before you can earn as a master. It's no different then picking up a hammer and learning how to nail boards together. You must learn what works and what doesn't your own way often through trial and error. Start following successful bloggers and read back when they were just starting on their very first posts. What worked for them? What ideas did they abandon. What did they refine? How did their content evolve? How are they making money blogging? Study the fine intricacies of blog masters and see why they made the decisions they did.

2. Don't copy. You can learn about what they do but absolutely do not copy it. This goes for the content on other blogs but also the techniques. The niche of information and the technique they deliver it that they carved out did not come easy. If you copy the design of their blog, the content, or the search terms you will always fail. The search engines do not like duplicate content and if you copy you will be seen only as that. You simply cannot become an income generating blog master unless you're truly original.

3. Be Passionate. Blogging about topics your passionate about is very important. If you don't you'll lose interest and run out of things to talk about. The balance between what you know a great deal about and what you like to write about is the key. It also must be presented in a different way than anything else out there. If you aren't original in your delivery your content, however good it may be, will get lost in the search engines never to be found again.

4. Take risks! Challenge yourself and push your mind further than you ever thought it could go. It's when you reach mental no man's land that you discover some of the most brilliant blog topics to write about that will be an absolute hit with your readers. Daring blog masters that take great risks usually make a lot of money and experience great rewards. Even if they don't they usually learn a great deal for next time.

5. Be genuine. The difference between a TV news program, a newspaper, a magazine, and a great blog is that all of these mediums are impersonal, except that is for the blog. The modern blog is a very dynamic personal piece of literature. The writer tailors the information in such a way to draw the reader in and connect with them on a personal level. When the blog master does this they create trust. Trust is the missing ingredient that separates the amateur from the professional blog master that makes money doing what they love!

Make Money Blogging - I Do!

Something I haven't mentioned yet, making money blogging is a real and viable way to make some serious extra money. You're not alone though. There is about 50 million blogs currently in existence and about 2 blogs get created each second of every day. So if you're going to try and make any money doing it your content must be unique and RELEVANT.

Don't get me wrong, you can't write about something so obscure that no one cares about it. To get readers and ultimately clicks on your ads you need to get very creative. Think about the things you know a lot about, or are very passionate about, and think of a unique angle on it, or in other words, a blog "niche."

Blog niches are important because if you create a blog about sports cars for instance and your key words are "sport cars," "fast," and "engines" you'll be competing with everyone else with those keywords about a very broad topic. Not a good chance of getting noticed.

Blogging is very dynamic. Like I said it's difficult to get found in the proverbial haystack of the internet. Therefore, you have to diversify your efforts. Creating unique content, appropriate key words, and submitting to search engines is only half the battle. The other challenge is getting search engines to notice your content. To do that you must show them that other people are linking to it, commenting on it, liking it, recommending it, and so on to show your site has value. You do this by creating articles on Ezine.com, posting on valuable high PR Do Follow social network sites like Digg, Technorati, and Slashdot. A useful tool for posting to many of these sites is Socialmarker.com. Another good thing to do is tweet about your blogs and posts on twitter, post videos on youtube, and think of anything else creative you can to promote your blogs.

To monetize your blogs, you could start your own website, that way you can put any ads you like on there. If you have a great idea right off the bat this may be a good idea, but more realistically you want to experiment on a free blogging service to see what works and to post adsense ads on your site right away. I recommend Blogger.com but use one that you prefer.
