We should stop wasting time, in over connecting through social media! I
feel sorry for my friends who waste
hours and hours of their precious
time on Facebook or any other social media it may be, which doesn't give
back any thing at the end of the day.
At this point of time where i know something about the potential of
constructive nature of internet, i cant even look back where i use to
waste 8-10 hours of continuous online gaming! That was terrible. My online gaming rig (xfire) has registered more than 1200 online gaming hours. Wish i had spent those on blogging or any other constructive work on online.
I would recommend my fellow friends through this post, that kindly think out of the shell (beyond your age). Gaming or Facebooking
is not every thing in the world. Here i am to list some of the great
ways by which students, housewives, teens, or who ever it may be, would
feel blessed to know, the list of top 12 money making ventures online.
Didn't you ever wished to have that extra pocket money, that you could
spend out by your own will? For the gamers out there, who just cant
leave their gaming world (as i couldn't get out of it easily), i have an
exciting news for you later in the post. You need to read this one,
before you jump back to your game!
Same is the case with housewives, who often want to pass their time

exciting. That's why i wish i had started my online career 5-6 years
from now.

2.Advertising & Back Linking
If you own a website with good traffic, then this option can earn you
loads of cash. Firstly, try to improve website quality as Page Rank
matters a lot! Once you get PR4 or PR5 then place square ads / banners
on any corner of webpage. If investor found your site suitable, then he
will ask you for back link or put his ads on your site. You can decide
rates (for example, 10$ per month or 20$ per 1000 ad views etc) for
getting maximum profit.
"Backlink" is a term that refers to links that point to a
website or webpage from another website. This type of link also might be
called an inlink or incoming link. Backlinks on other sites can increase a website's traffic. They also are tools used in search engine
optimization (SEO), because the number and quality of backlinks that
point to a website's often plays a role in the site's rank among search
results.
Linking
A link allows an Internet user to click on it to navigate to or open a different webpage. When the webpage that is opened is on a completely different website from the one where the link appeared, the link would be considered a backlink for that new site. The backlink might appear as a uniform resource locator (URL), also called an Internet address or web address, or it might be a word or phrase that has the link embedded. The word or phrase usually will be highlighted in some way, such as in bold type or underlined, to let the reader know that it can be clicked on to follow a link.3.Making Money From Android
This one is my favourite category for earning money in the form of
mobile recharges and cash too. There are plenty of apps which provides
you free recharges for referring and completing short tasks. But if you
want to earn more, then referring is the best option. I have already
written an article on “20 Highest Paying Free Recharge Apps for Android” where you can read all information
Google Opinion Rewards
It may come as little surprise to
learn that Google has an app of its own that you can use to make money.
With Google Opinion Rewards you earn Google Play credit by completing
surveys. You'll receive a notification whenever a new survey is
available, and you just need to spend a few moments answering a series
of questions – nothing too taxing.
Once you've completed a survey,
you earn Google Play Store credit that you can use to buy apps, music
and other things. Many of the surveys have a deadline for completion, so
make sure you don’t wait too long to complete them.
iPoll
Google Opinion Rewards is not the only survey-based app
that can be used to pull in a little cash. iPoll works in a very
similar way providing you with a series of "missions" to complete. While
some of these are dependent on your location, others can be completed
by anyone, anywhere. In addition to traditional surveys, you may also be
asked to submit photos or even upload an audio or video recording.
Many
of the missions have a decent amount of money associated with then, and
there are a few options for withdrawing your earnings. You can pull the
money into a PayPal account, or add it to your Amazon or iTunes
account.
Rewardable
Rewardable leans towards users in the US, but not
all of the tasks you are invited to complete are reliant on being in the
there. These are described as "virtual tasks" and can be completed by
anyone. There are in-store, location-specific tasks to carry out as well
Rewards vary, but are generally quite high, and your earnings can be withdrawn to PayPal easily.
AppCasher
If getting paid to test out apps seems like a great
way to spend your time, AppCasher will be right up your street. You can
earn credit for installing and launching apps, and these credits can
then be converted into gift cards that you can use to buy things from
Amazon or iTunes. You can opt to have cash transferred to your PayPal
account instead.
You can also refer your friends to the app and,
providing they use your special code, you'll earn extra credit for each
person who signs up.
Buzzinga
Buzzinga rewards you for downloading and reviewing
apps. The more you download and review, the more points you accumulate.
You can exchange those points for the chance to win prizes, including
Ultra HD TVs, the newest smartphones and other gadgets, or you can
redeem them for Amazon, Starbucks and GameStop gift cards.
Buzzinga is developed by App Media, which is owned by Fonpit, the publisher of
4.Write Articles To Get Paid Online.
Many people often consider website like Hub pages/squidoo in this
category which i don't really believe too. These popular websites work
in a way, where users publish articles on their hub, which is kinda
their profile page. The articles could be of any category. I think you
choose the category in which you would write in when you make up your
profile for the first time.
They don't pay you for publishing articles, in fact you get revenue by
the Adsense ads that get displayed beside your articles (hubs). For that
you have to link your account with your Adsense account. Other options
are Kontera. They also accept affiliate links in the article.
Freelance blogging is a great way to make money writing
online because there is immense demand for awesome blog posts, always!
But that doesn’t make it easy! The problem is… finding high-paying freelance writing jobs will take time and loads of efforts, especially if you’re a newbie.
In fact, if you visit any of those freelance marketplaces or job
sites, you can see that it’s crowded with hundreds of thousands of
writers/bloggers. And if you don’t have an author profile or pricing
that is not attractive enough then your would be clients can easily
find a dozen of other writers.
Another problem is, content agencies or clients on freelance sites do
not pay much. Even if you meet their criteria you may not earn more
than $10-$15 per 500 words (unless you are a native English speaker).
First things first. Let me differentiate three terms: freelance
blogger, guest blogger, and content marketer. A freelance blogger is
someone who is paid for writing blog posts for his clients (can be
individuals or companies).
Guest blogger is someone who writes a blog post and gets it published
on another person’s website. He can be paid for it or is usually done
for free — in exchange for a credit, in the form of a backlink at the
end of his guest post.
Guest blogging can be done for clients as well. It means that a
client will pay a guest blogger for writing about his business on
another website. And a content marketer is someone who writes content to
attract targeted traffic to his website.
For example, I’m not a freelance blogger or a guest blogger as I
haven’t written any guest posts on another blog, yet. And I personally
do not write for clients either. But I can be called a content marketer
as I’m writing blog posts that is attracting targeted traffic.
5.Flipkart
Flipkart is popular and well known online shopping company.
You might have ordered mobile phones or other accessories from flipkart,
but you will be surprised to know that we can earn lots of money from
it. It’s super easy, you even don’t need any website to do so! Just go
to flipkart affiliate sign up page
and register your publisher account. Now, if search discounted deals
and products and copy url of the page. Convert that url into affiliate
link using your publisher account and spread it in your friend circle
using facebook, whatsapp etc. Whenever friend makes purchase using your
unique link, flipkart gives you (upto) 10% commission of MRP of product.
After reaching minimum of 1000 Rs, you can withdraw money as a cheque
or gift vouchers.
6.Selling Educational Lectures
If you are expert in your education field and can elaborate your
concepts in easy manner, then this is the best option of earning passive
income. I will suggest you to go with Udemy which is trusted and pays you higher commissions than any other website.
Update While searching
on internet, I came across an awesome app called NiceTalk tutor. Just
teach basic English stuffs to Chinese kids online and get paid at the
rate of $10/hour!! I have written detailed article on NiceTalk tutor in this thread.
1. Udemy
If you’re excited about video lessons, Udemy is the place for
you. This online teaching platform offers courses on just about every
subject, but tech-related topics tend to be the most successful.
Teachers create a post video lectures, screencasts, and lecture notes
for their students to begin studying at any time. Udemy requires that
the majority of the course content be in video format, so be prepared
with a webcam or screen capturing software. You can offer a course for
free or set your tuition costs; Udemy takes a percentage of the costs
depending on how the course was marketed. Not all courses are
successful, but Udemy reports that a quarter of instructors earn at
least $10,000 annually and some instructors are able to earn a six
figure income from their courses.
2WizIQ
WizIQ is an online teaching platform that offers a lot of
flexibility and interactivity. Teachers can use features like chat,
shared white boards, virtual libraries, attendance reporting, course
statistics, quizzes / question banks and more. This is likely a better
choice for teachers that want ongoing interactions with each incoming
group of students rather than those that want to create classes that
essentially run themselves. Teachers pay upfront for the service through
an annual or monthly charge based on the number of students and
features they would like to include
3. MindBites
This video-only platform allows instructors to sell instructional
videos and video clips. Topics include just about anything including
learning how to play Craps, Home Cooking Dog Food with the Crock Pot,
and Basic English Grammar. Instructors pay an upfront monthly fee as
well as a percentage of the sale of each video. Instructors choose the
price of each video, but most seem to be sold for between $2 and $15.
4. Litmos
Through Litmos, instructors are able to set up their own online
courses using a variety of tools like Flash interactives, videos, audio,
PowerPoint, and more. The teaching platform takes care of all of the
backend work such as student registration, analytics, and tracking. As
an added bonus, all of the courses are formatted to be compatible with
mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.
Instructors pay a monthly fee based on the package they select plus
other fees for adding additional students.
5. Digital Chalk
If you love features and flash, Digital Chalk might be the right
choice for you. This learning management system allows instructors to
set up their own courses and easily integrate a variety of content types
including audio segments, video clips, quizzes, and assignments. It
also seamlessly integrates with SCORM content. Digital Chalk is one of
the more pricy options. Instructors pay a one-time up-front fee of at
least several hundred dollars. They also pay a per-delivery fee for each
student that enrolls.
