5 WAYS YOU CAN START ONLINE BUSINESS IN ONE HOUR

Now if you have been researching 'online business to start on the weekend' or ‘how to earn income online’ then you know there is a confusing amount of information out there, and you probably have a few ideas of your own.



You just need to take the first steps to getting there.  You see the ads out there that promise ‘easy’ and ‘quick’ money- easy my rear! Making money  honestly online is not a walk in the park. People who have online businesses and make money work like crazy and are seriously dedicated.



Here is what you need to do!

First you need to quit googling, yahooing, and binging ways to make money online, instead start using what you just read into practice, this list is just ideas, to get you started, to guidance you along.  There is always more than one way to do something, just because I list a few sites to get you started does not mean they they are the only ones, or even the best ones- the internet is HUGE, there are a lot of things you can do for money- just DO IT.  Ok, in no particular order, here are my favorite business startup ideas for earn revenue online:

1. BECOME A CONSULTANT ONLINE This where you work for others offering your skills as a consultant. Now do not laugh, some sites ask you to do it for five dollars, But hey guess what five dollars can add up big time. You can be a writer, designer, consultant, etc. Basically selling some type of service to others.  You can accomplish this in a variety of ways. joining freelance job sites like freelancer.com where companies and people post jobs and allow you to bid on them is one way.  You can also look into the micro freelancing like I wrote about in my post about Fiverr and Microtasking.  Offering your services on your own website is another promotion method for freelancing but that takes a bit more work on your part.


2. Start a blog : I am sure you have heard this one, but it is an option regardless.  However, making money blogging is NOT easy or fast. It takes a ton of work, trust us on this. We have done it for five years now. It can be difficult and will take time and lots of determination, but if you put in the effort and stick with it you will be able reap the rewards.  There are a lot of tips and sites I could list about how to make money blogging, but this is a idea list and this subject is just too deep to cover right now.


3. if you are a decent photographer then a good option is to sell stock photos, people are always in need of a good image to use in websites, blog posts, brochures and so on, and are more than willing to pay for the right image.  Using one of the mass-market sites below to sell your images results in many more sales because people tend to search for photos by keywords not by artist name, so having your pictures there (be sure to add many appropriate keywords) will put you right in front of buyers.  There are a lot of places to sell your photos on but the main ones to check out would be ShutterStock, Dreamstime and iStockphoto.


4. BECOME A WRITER This is another one of those ideas that has a lot of details and places to sell your writing, so I will keep it short.  There are a ton of sites out there willing to pay you for well-written articles about just about anything.  Some places pay you up front, some places pay based on preformance (views or clicks on ads).  Some places to check into and sign up at would be Associated Content, Heliumand Demand Media, and check into specific publications that may be hiring as well like Online Writing Jobs, PoeWar Freelance Jobs, and Writing.com.


5. START AN EBAY BUSINESS Completely obvious solution here, but it is often overlooked.  I had a friend once that owned over 500 DVD’s, all bought new, watched MAYBE one time, and when he lost his job he struggled, one night the conversation turned to things he could do for money and I found out he still had all those DVDs!  He got on Ebay and sold nearly all of them and made much more than he expected… but he never thought of this before.  So think… what is in your house right now that you don’t love or HAVE to have?  Sell it! The safest places to sell would be eBay and Amazon, but Craigslist is another place, but be ready to really really watch who you sell to- don’t take checks or any other strange payment methods someone may offer you.
