How to Get Rich Online: Can you still make money online?

Making money online is a flexible option for many, especially those who need flexible hours to fit in around childcare. All you need is a laptop and good wifi connection to make money online.

There are no shortcuts to making money though and it does require time and effort.  I spend many hours online every day but it does afford me the luxury of being self-employed and working around my family’s needs. Many refer to this as having a portfolio career.  The idea that you have different income streams and make money in a number of ways. My nan would have called it ‘not having all your eggs in one basket’!

I started working this way before I left teaching. This enabled me to build up some regular work and regular clients.  Once the balance tipped in favour of making money online I left teaching.

The most lucrative ways of making money online for me has been blogging, however, there are lots of other ways that I have tried over the years.  Now I stick to just a few that work well for me because of time constraints.

The real ways that you can make money online and beyond include:

• If you can write then a blog is another way of making money.  This is certainly not as quick as survey sites and does require far more effort.  To make money blogging you first need to build a brand and write unsponsored content.  Brands often start collaborating with bloggers once they are established and have a good DA.  Building a brand requires creating a blog that stands out and looks professional. 
• Matched betting is a risk-free way of making money.  It really does work and is tax-free and many people are making a full-time income from this alone.  Matched Betting System is the cheapest Matched Betting site, and it offers a low one time fee (no subscriptions or contracts) There are over £1,000 worth of step-by-step guides for bookmaker welcome offers, that tell you exactly what to do to get 85% profit from them. MBS (Matched Betting System) gives you all the tools, guides (both video and ebook) to earn up to £1,000 from welcome offers, and then over £500 per month. At first, it can take a while to get your head around it, so I found slow and steady worked for me. As you get more confident it takes up way less time and is profitable. This is not the same as gambling as it is a mathematical approach and involves no risk. The premise is simple, you bet on a sporting activity each way, so to win and to lose, therefore you will always cover your bet and make profit.
• Taking part in surveys and online signs ups with Swagbucks is a very easy way to collect points that are redeemed into vouchers. This can all be done from the comfort of your sofa. Many make £100 a month easily and there is still time to earn ready for Christmas spending.
• Another lucrative survey site is opinion outpost where you are paid for filling surveys.
• If writing is your skill then there are sites like Elance Uk and People Per Hour.  Both are ways that you can find hourly jobs that you can bid on.  The work is home-based and perfect for those looking for small jobs.  The work is varied and it is worth siding up with these sites.
• Finally, if you are a mum consider sites like Talk to Mums.  They work on a sampling basis and if you are selected you hand out samples to other mums and record their thoughts online.  This work is infrequent but well paid.

Making money online can be done but it requires effort and time.  One thing I now recommend is not putting all your eggs in one basket.  Try to diversify how you make money in case one of the income streams dries up.
