How to make money online: 31 ideas without scams + infographic

Si has buscado en tu Search Engine favorito: cómo ganar dinero por Internet…. te habrás encontrado con muchísimas cosas. Muchas plataformas o blogs que te aseguran que vas a ganar online miles de euros cada día.

I'm going to make things clear to you.

Very few ways will allow you to earn some significant money online. Unless you are willing to dedicate several hours each day and wait several months to start seeing the results of your efforts.

For the rest, stop the nonsense and stop believing in Santa Claus. It doesn't exist, sorry.

Together, let's go over some methods to earn money online. Later I will tell you in addition to some scams that you will find many times on your way and that you should avoid at all costs.

 

Only with your Internet connection

# 1 Complete opinion and consumer surveys (* 31 *)

Consists in answer paid surveys: you give your opinion and they give you money in return. Yes, it's that simple!

The most recognized websites are: Toluna and also LifePoints, both available at Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries and the United States. Others like i-Say recommended for those who live in Spain.

The main advantage of this method is that you do not need any special knowledge or previous experience. Here the important thing is your opinion. 🙂

Te hablo más sobre las encuestas pagadas, en este post.

# 2 Read paid emails (* 31 *)

If you need to know how to make money online but you are a bit lazy, and you do not want to bother too much, paid emails will be your favorite hobby.

Well ... they will pay for reading emails.

Isn't that cool? Well, I have to tell you the truth. They will not give you money to read YOUR emails, but the emails that some companies will send you.

Frecuentemente, además te pedirán que te des de alta en alguna Web o algún concurso. Para ello tengo two tips para ti: no uses tu cuenta de correo electrónico usual (créate una nueva cuenta de Gmail por ejemplo) y luego de darte de alta en estas páginas, no te olvides de confirmar tu registro (por lo general, hace falta darle clic en algún correo electrónico de verificación).

Ok, now that I have convinced you, possibly you want to know the websites that make all this possible for you. I mainly use these two that work great: Clickxti and SumaClicks, both available all over the world.

# 3 Buy with cashback (* 31 *)

You're going to freak it out!

exist websites that give you money for ... spending it.

Yes yes, as is!

Well, it really is about buying online with cashback.

As an example, you buy a post at Zalando or Zara Online, some boots or jeans, and the cashback website returns a part of your purchase. It is usually between 2 and 10 % of the total and can vary between each cashback page.

Among all the websites that exist, I suggest Beruby (available in Spain and Latin America) and Aklamio (only in Spain). They are the most recognized.

If you need to know more about the cashback pages, click here to read the post.

# 4 View advertisement (* 31 *)

If you find it cool to answer surveys and read emails, then you are going to love this idea. Consists in view advertisements, or advertising banners to earn money online.

Existen webs, como Neobux, que te van a dar dinero cada vez que entras en su página y clicas un banner. Por lo general, con esos clics dispondrás muy poco dinero, pero debes de pensar a lo grande: ¿qué pasa si das 100 clics en el mismo día? ¿cada día de la semana? Esa es la idea: generar muchos clics.

The Neobux website is available worldwide.

In this post I tell you more about the 8 best pages to make money watching ads.

But beware, I recommend this idea only if you have some free time a day. Honestly, it is not a task that is going to generate a lot of money, so spend little time on it.

# 5 Betting on sports (* 31 *)

Many think that sports betting is nothing more than scams and mafias. Others believe that it is necessary to always bet on the favorite team to win money. It is much more complex than that, but yes, it can earn you a lot of money if you follow the advice of the right experts.

Another way to earn money online and from home is with the Matched Betting (or Come Bonus). It is a mathematical technique that makes it possible to convert the bonuses offered by bookmakers into real money. For this you do not need to be an expert, but you can join the community of NinjaBet.es in Spain or Latin America and start earning extra money with this method. At the same time, you can rest assured that it is a risk-free way to earn money online with bets, and the profit that can be obtained is up to € 500 / $ per month. Registration is free and you can win your first € 15 (in Spain) or 20 $ (in Latin America).

# 6 Play poker (* 31 *)

If I talk to you about sports betting, I have to talk to you about poker.

Contrary to what many people think, el póker no consiste en suerte sino de strategy. The best players know the probability that each card will appear, they know how to analyze the game of the others and they take good care of their money; without getting excited and moving all-in when it least suits them.

There are several online resources for learning how to play poker and be a professional.

And of course, there are also many online poker websites. I am not going to advise you on any one in particular, because I have not tried them.

# 7 Make money online using applications (* 31 *)

If you still do not know the applications that pay you to use them, avoid worrying. We solve that right now 😉

There are several apps that pay you a few cents to watch videos, download applications and test them, or basically to open the application.

One of my favorites is: Gift Hunter Club (available for Android)

IF you want to know more apps, I have prepared a post with a list of Apps to earn money 😉

# 8 Earn money completing missions (* 31 *)

At the same time as the applications that I mentioned above, there are also others that entrust you with missions in supermarkets, stores or shopping centers,… and that pay you for them.

What kind of missions? As an example, see if a product is well placed on the store shelf, if all the versions are there or check the prices. You take some photos, answer some questions and mission accomplished!

You can earn up to 5 euros per mission, but you must be attentive or attentive because there are many people signed up and the missions end quickly.

I suggest these Apps: Mobey and Click and Walk, both available in Spain.

# 9 Browse web pages (* 31 *)

And what do you think about getting paid to test and analyze some websites?

You can do this on pages like User testing, which pays up to $ 10 to browse web pages.

El análisis de una web puede tomarte entre 15 y 20 minutos y a veces pueden pedirte que te grabes para que el propietario de la web pueda tener más información sobre la experiencia real del Username.

The only downside is that there are few evaluations, but hey that they pay you $ 10 for 20 minutes is not bad either.

 

# 10 Make money online with your social networks (* 31 *)

No es necesario que seas una estrella de cine o que tengas millones de followers. Conviértete en un influencer y promociona productos o servicios mediante tus redes sociales.

In SocialPubli for example, you can register and according to your profile you have different campaigns available. You just have to share a message on your profile with your friends, as you often do and that's it. They pay you for the number of followers you have on your social networks.

My advice: only sign up for campaigns for products or services that you know. For example, you cannot say that sneakers are the best, if your friends know that the only sport you practice is to change the channel ... You understand me, right? You must remain yourself.

Hace unos días Ismael El-Qudsi co-fundador y CEO de SocialPubli.com se paso por el Blog de 123 Dinero para responder unas preguntas sobre como podemos ganar dinero online con las redes sociales. Aquí tienes la entrevista completa. No te la pierdas.

 

Make money online with your talent

 

# 11 Upload your videos to YouTube (* 31 *)

Now we go to a much higher level, and you know it!

If you like be in front of the camera, be para hacer reír a los demás o para compartir algo sobre tus pasiones, te deberías plantear ser Youtuber.

I'm not going to market miracles to you: many people try and few succeed. But if you like it so much, it might not take much work to film yourself and upload those videos.

¿Te interesa saber cómo ganar dinero por internet gracias a Youtube? En este post te lo cuento. 😉

# 12 Remote private tutoring (* 31 *)

We all have something that Share with the others. You may not know it, but think about it.

Many of us have very precise knowledge on some subject, due to our experience and our studies. You may think that this is of no use to anyone, but you are wrong.

Because if you have this to propose, rest assured that there are people who seek to learn it.

What am I talking about? Well, to give classes in mathematics, music, dance, sports, Computer Science, History or any other subject that you like.

To discover how to make money online by sharing your knowledge, I suggest these two pages, they are the most recognized: Tutellus and Superprof.

To understand more about earn money giving private lessons, read this post where I tell you more details.

# 13 Win $ 5 by…. ANYTHING is important that you know how to do (* 31 *)

This is feasible thanks to Fiverr. On this website you can offer your services, or buy services from others, for at least $ 5 in any category.

As an example, if you are good at drawing cartoons, you can suggest making one for $ 5. Or you can compose a romantic song for 5 dollars, or make a video promoting a product….

And you, what are you willing to do for $ 5?

 

How to make money online by writing

Do you like to write? You want earn money writing ?

Below I propose several alternatives to make money online with your passion for writing.

 

# 14 Correct posts (* 31 *)

Let's start with the "simple" thing. In some freelancing websitesThere are companies or bloggers who want people to correct their texts, it can be advertising texts, posts or brochures.

You who know the Spanish language well and handle it well, perhaps it is your chance to earn some extra money online for correcting the spelling and grammar mistakes of others.

# 15 Write posts (* 31 *)

That is the next step. You may write for other magazines or blogs. Muchos se dan de alta en páginas de freelancing, como Freelancer para buscar ayuda con la redacción de su contents.

And there you are, to write for them. They will give you the subject that interests them, with their writing rules, and you just have to write.

Well, I'm not going to lie to you: they won't always ask you to write about your passions. You may be asked 500 words about the advantages and disadvantages of using a knife sharpener, but it is part of the profession.

# 16 Translate texts, messages or contracts (* 31 *)

We have only talked about content writing. But what if at the same time You speak several languages? Well, many things may happen, because more and more translators are required.

Therefore, if you speak a language, you can propose your translator service.

And no, it is not necessary to be an official translator. What happens is that you may not be able to propose the same rates as them, but of course to start in this world, it is not very serious.

 

Are you a blogger?

I could have put it in the previous section, but you really need some separate advice.

Therefore, if you already have your blog, or if you read a lot of blogging, and you are looking for how to make money online and with your blog, this section is for you.

 

# 17 Help bloggers set up their own blog (* 31 *)

Whether or not you earn money from your blog is one thing. But you know how to blog. Therefore I recommend you to propose your services help other bloggers.

A modo de ejemplo, les podrías ayudar a seleccionar el mejor alojamiento, o a instalar un nuevo WordPress, o a configurar distintos plugins. Pero además les puedes recomendar alguna plantilla o inclusive personalizar la plantilla que ya han escogido.

Una vez que han lanzado el blog, además les puedes dar consejos de positioning y sobre la estrategia de redes sociales adecuada para su temática.

You see? The opportunities are almost endless. If you look at any freelancing website there are many offers of this type.

# 18 Put commercial promotion on your blog (* 31 *)

In general, the easiest way to make money online with a blog is to use Google Adsense. This tool allows you to display some advertisements on your blog and you receive money in exchange for each click on these advertisements. Something between 5 and 50 cents per click.

Lo bueno es que no debes de preocuparte de cómo seleccionar los anuncios, o saber cuáles son los mejores anuncios para tu audiencia, …  debido a que Google se ocupa de todo.

All you have to do is install the code for these ads on your blog, and that's it!

Generally, you can expect to earn between 2 and 8 euros for every 1000 page views of your blog.

# 19 Promote other people's services and products (* 31 *)

It is the "top" level of monetization for your blog. Consists in recommend and promote the services and products of other people or companies.

Maybe it is more difficult than a simple Google Adsense, because you should look for the best offers for your audience. But the good thing is that you have more control over what you put, you can select your favorite products, or the ones that will give you the most commissions for each registration.

Definitely, this dynamics of monetization tends to give much better results.

Some examples of what you can promote: Amazon, Groupon deals, Skyscanner flights ...

# 20 How to make money online by publishing your posts as usual (* 31 *)

For you as a blogger, banner ads and affiliation can pay off quite well… but not so much for advertisers.

Therefore these have had to be original and innovative. For a few years now, they have decided pay bloggers for them to speak (for the good) of your product or service.

The content is included directly within a blog post, and highlights the benefits of the advertiser.

In return, you get a fixed sum of money.

My advice: you better be transparent with your audience and that you mention in your post that you have been paid to share your opinion.

# 21 Create and market infoproducts to generate income online (* 31 *)

If you don't know how to make money online, here is another good idea: infoproducts.

Los infoproductos son digital products con capacitación o información sobre algún tema determinado. A modo de ejemplo: finanzas, blogging, guía de viajes, desarrollo personal… Cualquier temática es válida, pero siempre debe ir dirigida a ayudar a otras persons.

It seems very simple, doesn't it? But you have to know how to do it well so that this product becomes one of your sources of money. That is why, I think it is essential to know how the experts do it. In my case, I have followed Agustín Grau's course. A very complete course where it explains clearly and simply how you can also "Create infoproducts and generate income”.

As Agustín is a good friend of mine, he has allowed me to offer all 123 Dinero readers a 30 % discount to access this complete course using this code: 123LESS30 so that no one is left out 😉

More information about the course here. Do not miss this possibility.

 

How to make money online selling things

If we frequently use the Internet to buy, we can also use it to market things. Here are some ideas:

# 22 Market what you no longer use (* 31 *)

Actually, this type of activity does not take place online but there are so many possibilities to do it online that it would be a shame not to say anything.

So what am I talking about? From market your used clothes!

You are right. Because if you are like me, and you look in your closet, you will see that you no longer wear for centuries half of your clothes. Therefore… sell it!

There are many websites, online markets, and even pages to donate what you no longer need.

So you agree, right? Marketing what you no longer use (and among other things, your used clothes) is one of the many alternatives to earn money online.

# 23 Market your photos (* 31 *)

Is your hobby photography? How many photos do you have on file and they have not yet come to light?

Show your talent now!… And earn money online.

There are many image banks where you can market your photographs. Too easy.

You register with an image bank, for example Shutterstock or Fotolia. Upload the photos you want to market and that's it. You get between 20 and 50 % of the price of the photo (the other part is the web). In some web pages the quality of the photos is evaluated before accepting them.

My advice: Don't put too high prices, think that it is better and more likely to sell many photos at lower prices than to sell one at a higher price.

# 24 Market your notes and other documents (* 31 *)

Yes, this is also viable to market online.

What notes and documents can you sell?

• Notes from the university.
• Resume templates, motivation letters.
• Contract models
• Business plans
• Etc etc,…

You can earn between 1 and 5 euros per document, it will depend on the quality and number of downloads.

In Spain these are the most recognized pages: MisDocs (all kinds of documents) and Stuvia (for university notes).

# 25 Market your own e-book (* 31 *)

If writing is your thing, let your creativity fly and start writing right now.

Write an adventure book, a romantic novel or maybe you like science fiction more… Whatever the subject, once you have written your e-book you can sell it through platforms like Amazon's Kindle.

Okay, I'm not saying it's simple. You must write, make yourself known, and market your book. But an e-book has many advantages: anyone in the world can buy it with just one click, you should not invest money or accumulate copies at home.

It can be the start of a successful career as a writer or writer. 🙂

 

Create your own online business

 

# 26 Create your own virtual store (* 31 *)

No es necesario que seas un experto programmer para montar tu propia tienda online. Y es que gracias a plataformas como Facebook o Pinterest; y a marketplaces como Etsy o Dawanda, puedes tener tu escaparate virtual en pocos minutos.

Once you have your product catalog you can start marketing to customers from anywhere in the world, or establish where you want to market.

What can you market?

In the marketplaces that I have mentioned before, mainly handmade products are sold.

But if you don't have your own creations, you can also market other people's products, in this post I will tell you what is sold the most on the Internet.

# 27 Dropshipping (* 31 *)

Dropshipping has become one of the best alternatives to earn money online with your own business but without having to buy the products first.

I explain…

Dropshipping allows you to market through a web page, passing the purchase order directly to the supplier, who will also be in charge of sending the product to the buyer.

The advantages: You should not buy and accumulate merchandise in advance so there is no risk of losing money if nobody buys it. You do not have to take care of sending the orders. But you do have to have trusted suppliers, who fulfill the orders and in case of incident you must intervene.

 

Work as a freelancer

It is increasingly common to hire the services of professionals for work or specific projects without the need for a specific geographic location. As an example, before I told you that you can do translations to earn money online.

In this chapter I want to tell you about other specific jobs that you can do from home or from anywhere in the world to earn money online.

 

# 28 Designer (* 31 *)

Designers are in great demand by different companies, for example to make logos, book covers, magazine covers, catalogs, ...

But they are also demanded by some bloggers to give a new image to their blog or create covers.

The tasks of a designer are many, and the ideal is that you can do it from anywhere.

# 29 Program in WordPress (* 31 *)

If you are a WordPress expert and you know it like the back of your hand, then give a hand to bloggers who are a bit lost on this topic.

Perhaps for you, it is something very simple, but for those of us who do not know we do not dare to touch on code issues. 🙂

There is an increasing demand for WordPress programmers, therefore if you are one of them you will find many possibilities.

# 30 ¿Eres un crack del SEO?(*31*)

Pasamos a hablar de otros expertos, que además nos gustan a los blogger: los expertos SEO.

SEO services are increasingly in demand and with the same objectives: increase your visits and be the first of the searches.

If you have specialized training and you know the best tricks to be the best on the Internet, do not hesitate. I assure you that possibilities are not going to be lacking.

# 31 Become a Community manager (* 31 *)

Another profession that in recent years had great success.

But why? Because social networks are a very valuable tool to promote yourself and attract new customers or readers. This is why it is very important to know how to manage them.

Large companies, small businesses and blogs need expert people who know how to manage content on different social networks.

If you know how to deal with people and you know social networks better than anyone, this may be of interest to you 😉

 

The most common scams

As I told you in the introduction, when you search in the Google search engine how to make money online, numerous scams appear. They will try manipulate you, make you believe anything and even use your urgent need of money to… make you spend the little money you already have.

Therefore read this section well. I promise you it will prevent you from spending money on scams.

Because you never forget: the best way to earn money is not to spend the money you already have.

Let's get to the point.

• First of all, if something looks too pretty, it probably isn't. They do not exist miracles, secrets, or tricks to win a lot of money easily. Maybe you can earn a lot of money (in several years) or earn money easily (a few euros) but of course both things at the same time is impossible. Therefore, avoid all these scam sites.

• Tea they ask for money before anything else? As we have already said several times in this blog, you should never pay money before having access to a service, a list of services or whatever.

• However, if you want to pay money, make sure the page uses reliable means of payment how PayPal, and that proposes you a guarantee to buyer, which will allow you to cancel your payment and obtain a refund of the money if the product or service is not to your liking.

• Beware the multilevel marketing! There are very reliable companies and people in this world, but there are also people who only seek one thing: to earn money at all costs. Even when they have to ask others for money and scam them. Therefore, before joining a company of multilevel marketing, try to find information about this company, success stories of people making money only by selling products (and not by recruiting other members)

There are other scams on the Internet that you should know, read this post where I tell you everything in more details.
