Quick Ways To Make Money Online For Free

So you're looking for quick ways to make money online for free? That's what I've been doing ever since I got the internet on, a few years ago.

I've discovered a few little tricks here and there, but one thing I have learned, is that you shouldn't believe anyone who says you can get rich quick without paying any money, or without doing a lot of work.

The reason is simple, you need traffic, (internet visitors), to make any real money online, and there are only a certain amount of ways you can get traffic.

If you have an amazing product, and it has a good profit margin, you may be able to just set up a pay per click advertising campaign, and make an immediate profit, but that's not free, and it requires a good knowledge of the whole process.

If you manage to find a buyer's keyword that has high search volume and low competition, you may be able to compete on Google with a basic knowledge of SEO, but generally, that requires a lot of learning, and a lot of work, or money.

Apart from those methods, social media marketing is a good way to get traffic, although it takes either money, or a lot of work on sites like Twiends and You Like Hits to get followers.  

So what's left? What are the quick ways to make money online for free? Well, as soon as I publish this article, I will get about two dollars, and then an ongoing residual payment from views. 

Factoidz is for me, the best site I've found in terms of a quick way to make money online, that doesn't require any sort of payment to get started. 

You don't have to buy a domain name and pay for hosting, you just write a product review, or a product comparison, a contextual back link, or a regular article about anything like this. 

You can make as much as ten US dollars an hour here, or even more if you can write fast, and if you take the residuals into account.

Other Ways To Make Money Online Free

Apart from writing here, I do some Fiverr gigs, and I have my own site. On Fiverr, I do things like share a site to all my social connections for $5.

I offer to make 2,000 back links from directories, (cause I found a free online tool that does that), I offer to make a thirty second You Tube video, etc. 

Some people sell likes, drawings, articles, e-books, absolutely anything at all for $5, and the site is really popular, so if you are offering something of value, and it looks reliable, people will buy it. 

You can sell things on eBay, I have a friend who makes a bit that way, you can do surveys, (although I wouldn't say that was good money), and you can write in a blog, which pays by affiliate links or ads on the page.

I make most of my money by selling things through a Pay Pal button on my site, but as I said at the beginning, you have to have a good understanding of SEO, PPC, and SMO in order to drive enough traffic to a site to make a sale. 

Did I leave anything out? Let me see, quick ways to make money online for free.. No, not really, I have my site, then I write on this site, and then do Fiverr gigs. 

After three years of looking for ways to make money online, that's what I'm doing, and in that order. I would recommend that you get a Pay Pal account, join Factoidz, join Fiverr, and (after learning a bit about keyword research, SEO and traffic building), make your own self-hosted Wordpress website

There are no quick ways to make money online for free really, it takes a lot of work or at least a little money to have a chance of striking it rich, but those three things are what I do, and I make about twenty dollars a day from a couple of hours work a day, give or take, but it's been getting steadily better over the last three years.
