It is a positive step to take the first stage which is to take action and not give up on the study stage.

Many of those in the current economic climate are looking to make quick and easy money online. There are many reasons behind this, such as job loss, increased debt, retirement, or simply financial independence.

The Internet is certainly the fastest way that does not have to cost a lot of money and can have immediate success. Here are my 5 options to think about:

1. Selling on eBay: eBay is the easiest and fastest way to get up to speed to make money. To begin with, create a vacuum in your own home. This is useful because it generates immediate money from unused things in your home. This is imperative, if you ever want to be a permanent eBayer, as it expands your volume of items sold and expands your feedback for your profile. Once you’re comfortable with selling on eBay, you can locate a dropshipper to provide you with products to resell. Once you have a relationship with a dropshipper, you can promote your items on eBay, and as your buyer pays you, they then order your item from your dropshipper (at their reduced price) and have it shipped directly to your customer. All this is achieved for the price of an eBay listing.

2. Affiliate Marketing – Advertising other products for a percentage of sales. This again can be achieved without having a website of your own. Go to a website like Clickbank and join for free. You can then research the myriad of items waiting for you to list them. I advise you to go for a niche that you are familiar with that also gives you a passion to advertise it because having a familiarity allows you to know less common methods of selling the product. As soon as you are ready for your product, you will advertise your personal web address and all sales through this address will be recorded and paid to you.

3. Record Articles: You can get paid to write/rewrite articles on behalf of clients and post them online. This is not as complex as it seems with the help of Google to search in any field of study. Once you research and understand a few articles, you can put the information directly into your own vocabulary and get paid for it. You can promote yourself on many sites, one of the most accepted is elance. Look up what items those are after negotiating a cost. This is good because you can decide as much or as little work as you need. The more you complete this and the repetitiveness of the topics means this gets faster and easier as time goes on.

4. Blogging – Earn simply by writing and keeping a blog up to date. This is achieved by approaching companies and blogging on their behalf, as they all require it, but they wouldn’t hire someone just to fix it. Another lucrative method is to create your own individual blog with a selection of accepted blog sites that allow Google or Yahoo to place sponsored advertising on it. The essential detail for this to be successful is to keep it fresh and attention-grabbing.

5. Write an eBook: This sounds daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Information is the most common thing sold online. If you have ever written an essay or school assignment then you are qualified to figure this out. Choose a topic that you are familiar with, it can be a regular topic that you have practiced, for example house training a puppy. Once you’re done, you can benefit from any of the above methods of promoting it or simply post it on Clickband and pay others a commission to promote it for you.

There are many varied ways here to make quick and easy money online, even in an economic downturn, but the best point to remember is to pick your preferred method and work hard to make it work before moving on to the next thing.
