You Don't Have to Be Rich to Make Money Online

By Essau Jasons

Let's face it: times are hard right now. Have you been laid off and can't find another job? Whether you are desperate for cash or just want to supplement, here are some unique methods how to make money online.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to make money online, and no one will contest that. But before you jump off your chair and leap for the first thing you see... watch yourself. Not all that glitters is gold.

There are scams and scammers just waiting out there to prey on people. If something sounds too good to be true or you are asked for money, run the other way as fast as possible.

1. Sell Stuff, Make Money

If you are like most of us, you have probably sold something you didn't want on Amazon or Ebay. So, you know that you can make cash that way. But selling your attic full of junk isn't exactly enough to supplement you, is it? What some don't realize is that you can really make a business out of it.

There are tons of products on there that you can buy dirt cheap. Find a way to get them, but a lot lot, and then find a person in the "real world" who will pay you for the stuff. Instant profit -- instant business.

2. Earn Money Typing

You can find a lot of companies that need some good writers. Are you good at reviewing products or movies? Maybe you have special knowledge about certain topics that you like to blog on? Use it for extra income!

Of course you can market your skills for SEO purposes, blogs, content networks -- there are just a ton of ways to make money with short amounts of content.

3. Make Money Playing Games

My favorite method of earning money on the Internet is through World of Warcraft, a video game. You make money building up characters and points and gold, and selling them in the real world to real people. It's fun and it makes money.

You make money by creating accounts, and giving them skills and gold and coins -- you then sell the characters later on for cash. It works. It's fun. Win-win.

Conclusion

Sometimes, we all need some extra cash. Or maybe you just want to work at home. These are some of the more unique methods how to make money online, but they do work best as supplemental to another job.
