As you
become more and more internet savvy and as you get time to spare, you can earn
some money using the internet. Let’s talk about some of the ways of doing this.
Publish your
book
If you are passionate about writing and wish to get your own
work published, the internet can assist you. Amazon offers a free service for
this purpose, known as Kindle Direct Publishing. You can publish your work on
Kindle (electronic) book store and avail royalty on the sale of copies of your
book. There are two options available for Royalty: As per the first option, you
get 35 percent royalty and your book can be sold in any country. As per the
second option, you receive 70 percent royalty on sale and the book can be sold
in few select countries. The Indian writers can set the rate for Indian
bookstore and can receive royalty in form of Indian rupees.
Create and sell your own apps
There is a constant increase in the number of people using
smartphones and tablets these days. Considering this fact, developing an
application can be a good business option. If you can develop apps of you own,
you have the option of selling them online. And if you cannot develop an app,
do not worry. There are many websites on the internet that teach you how to
develop apps. It is not a very difficult task. What is more difficult is,
thinking of an innovative idea for an app. And for doing so, knowing the market
demand is important. This is a very creative activity. Once you are done
creating an application, submit it to the play store. Then, you determine the
price of your app and decide whether you want in-app advertisements. After
deducting the determined fee charges, you receive your monthly payment. And
then, your app is added to the app store.
Sell photographs online
Many stock websites like www.shutterpoint.com, www.shutterstock.com and www.istockphoto.com host photographs submitted
by their members. You can earn between 15 to 85 percent royalty from the sale
of these photos as per the website policies. The better the quality of the photos,
the more you can expect to earn. The website first evaluates the photographs
you wish to upload and determines their salability. The photographs selected by
the website can then be uploaded.
Open an online shop
If you are creative person, you can learn to make handicrafts
or buy unique artifacts from a wholesale dealer at lower rates, and then set up
your own online shop. Firstly, collect
commodities for your online shop and then sell them by logging on to www.ebay.in and www.indiebazaar.com. These
websites have a simple sign up procedure. Once you get verified as a seller on
the website, the step by step wizard helps you through the online store setup
procedure. You also get information about adding a description for your product.
Earn by becoming a tutor
If you have expertise in any particular skill and have
experience in teaching that skill, log on to www.tutorvista.com or www.2tion.net and become
a tutor. You have to first sign up as an online tutor on these websites. Then
create a tutor profile to include information like what is your skill set, what
age group do you want to teach, your experience, timings and expected
remuneration. Once the verification process is complete, your profile is listed
on the website portal, where students can contact you. You can also choose the
virtual workspace from the options such as live chat and collaboration white
board.
Sell old belongings online
Another simple way of earning money online is selling old
things in your house. You can log on to www.olx.com, www.quickr.com and http://craigslist.co.in where a
free classified platform is made available. You have to first create an account
and add information about the product you want to sell. Other details required
are location, pictures and price quoted for the product.
Earn through advertisements
Google AdSense can be
one of the trusted ways of earning money online. Your blog or website can be
used in order to earn from Google AdSense. You can also advertise on Youtube
channel. For that, you have to log on to www.google.com/adsense and create a Google AdSense
account. This account can be used for your blog, website or Youtube channel. In
order to earn money, you have to attract maximum visitors to your website or
blog. For this, you can write about the topic you are most proficient in. Similarly,
having a realistic video would help if you want to earn from Youtube.
