Increasingly, it seems that everyone would like to escape the hassle of working 9 to 5 in an effort to gain more control of their time and achieve financial independence. There are many designer scams online to take your money. Please Be Careful!! My philosophy is, “if you’re asking for payment from the start, you probably wouldn’t want to continue pursuing it.” I have personally been scammed with bogus offers and lost hundreds of dollars. I made a promise to myself that if I ever found myself in a position to help others struggling online, I would.

Below are 5 ideas meant to point an aspiring online entrepreneur in the right direction. They are all 100% free to join. Keep in mind that these are not get-rich-quick schemes! If you are interested in such schemes, my advice is to keep your day job.

In the interest of “full disclosure” (which is an accounting term), I’m biased when it comes to early programs as I’ve made the most money online with them and continue to promote them heavily. But to each his own…

1. See paid advertising –

There are sites that actually pay viewers to view, review, and comment on ads. Compensation ranges from 5 cents to 25 cents per ad viewed. If you also invite people to join, you earn even more money. If this is of interest to anyone, check out the following sites. You can locate their respective sites with a Google search.

  • paidverts
  • neobux
  • rebel award
  • inbox dollar

2. Online data entry-

I know you hear this all the time. People want to know if there really are data entry jobs online. My answer to them is The Flex Job. You are processing a simple worksheet for Fortune 500 companies and can earn a decent salary doing it.

3. Smartphone apps for cash-

Well, it sounds like you’re pretty resourceful with a browser, so maybe it’s time you turned pro and browse websites as a fun, paid job.

There are tons of apps that you can find on the Google Play Store that pay to explore and download. Below you will find my best recommendations.

  • characteristic points.
  • Perk TV
  • application trailers
  • karma app
  • Gossip
  • cash application (my personal favorite)

4. Paid surveys

There are numerous big brands that want to hear your opinion about their products and want to pay you in exchange for this kind of valuable information. A paid survey site acts like a real estate agent allowing you to stay in touch with businesses to share your opinion through online surveys.

Don’t underestimate your opinion. You can change the whole world! You can collect or redeem any rewards after completing multiple surveys.

In my opinion, the following are the best:

• Toluna

• Loot dollars

• Survey Squad

5. Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is without a doubt one of the most widely used approaches to making money online. Many successful freelancers earn 50 cents to a dollar per word. Some even earn double! If you like to write, it would be easy for you to earn money online using this medium. You can sell your services on Fiver or Zeerk.com.
