Lots of people want to make money online. Some want to work at home full time, some want to run an online business and some just want to make some extra cash each month to pay bills. Regardless of what you want to do online, you will have to start somewhere. Being a beginner isn’t easy when it comes to making money online. There are tons of scam sites and products out there that are waiting to take advantage of beginners. When starting out, you will want to look at free opportunities first. This way you don’t have a big commitment to the program and you can leave at any time. In this post, I will give three free easy ways that beginners can use to make money online.

Writing Articles

Sites that pay you to write articles are great for beginners because they easy and to the point. How hard is it to write a 250 word article on what topic you want. Generally a user gets paid when their articles receive a specific number of views. Remember the more articles you write the more potential you have to earn money. There are a number of sites out there that will pay you to do this including Bukisa and Associated Content.

Blogging

Blogging definitely offers the most potential when it comes to making money online for beginners. Starting a blog can be a little confusing but can pay off in the long run. Blogs make money through advertisements and affiliate programs. The more traffic you get to your blog, the more successful it will be. Blogger.com offers free blogs to anyone who wants to start blogging so if you want to make money blogging, I recommend starting there.

Survey Sites

Survey sites are good for beginners because they don’t require too much effort and the surveys come to you (your email). Survey sites generally give out anywhere from 2-15 surveys a month. A lot of this depends on your demographics. These surveys pay between $.50 and $15.00 on average. When choosing a survey site make sure that it is free to sign up with.

When getting started, you will probably want to choose one of the above to try first. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. If blogging doesn’t work for you, maybe writing articles will. Remember that you won’t get rich from these methods but with the right work ethic, you will be able to make a decent amount of money online
