How to make money online

 WRITING
writing
In this section we highlight ways you can make money from writing. In my experience, if there is one skill that trumps all others in effectively earning money online it is the ability to write.
No other skill has the versatility that writing has. Good writers are sorely underrepresented. If you can write, you can earn money online (with or without a blog) – guaranteed!

1.1 Blogging
The act of blogging in and of itself is often free, but that doesn’t mean that blogging can’t serve as a useful platform from which you can earn money online. Many people are earning over 5 figures a month “just blogging”, by combining it with things like affiliate sales, ad networks, and paid reviews.
Go to the last chapter of this post to see all of the blogger income reports I have collected. There are thousands of blogs started everyday and most of them die off over the course of a few months/years.
From personal experience I think it is best to start a blog with a purpose/passion – aside from making money. This will help you to be successful in the long run, as it is normal to spend many months blogging without earning anything. Here are some of the best blogging sites you can use to get started:How To Start A Blog - a post I wrote that will get you up and blogging in a matter of minutes.
Blog.com - Creates a free blog and hosts it for you for free. Your domain will look like yourdomain.blog.com.

Blogger.com - Free weblog publishing tool from Google, for sharing text, photos and video. Quick and easy to setup and links with your Gmail account.

Livejournal - A service for journals and blogs, that also offers privacy controls, photo storage, publishing tools, style templates, and online communities for many interests.

Tumblr - Post anything (from anywhere!), customize everything, and find and follow what you love.
WordPress.com - Free blogs managed by the developers of the WordPress software. Includes custom design templates, integrated statistics, automatic spam protection . You domain will look like yourdomain.wordpress.com It’s different from Word Press.org.
WordPress.org - A web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog, with your own domain name.

***Additionally if you want to start a blog you are going to need hosting***
I use a few different hosts for my blogs. I cannot say they are the BEST hosting around. There are thousands of hosts. I can say that they work, they are reliable/dependable, the sites go relatively fast and the support is relatively good. There may be better options out there, but these are certainly sufficient
