How To Make Money Online Without a Website – 10 Ways To Make Money On the Internet

How do you actually generate an income without setting up a website?

One of the most frequently asked questions is how to make money online without a website. To make money without a website, there are several ways. Some will need you to do offline work, while most will require you to do some simple emails.

The internet is a large marketplace. There is no short of money making opportunities. Some take more time than others to earn a small sum. Let’s run through the ways you can make money without a website.

1. Doing online surveys

This method of making money online is often oversimplified. How difficult can it be to fill up a survey form, right?

Wrong. The problem with this method is you need to sit in front of your computer for 15 hours a day just to earn a paltry sum of money. Getting paid to take surveys is not as easy as what Clickbank videos show you.

You will struggle to pay your household bills if this is your only source of income. Even if you find clicking the mouse for 15 hours a day is fun, you will barely be able to put food on the table. Worse still, many of the survey companies do not pay cash, but in the form of gift cards and vouchers.

There are many of such companies around. Every company is touting gullible online users. New online users are often duped into such programs. Some even paid to enter into a network of survey companies when they can actually join for free. Take a look at the best selling products on Clickbank and you know what I mean.

To make matters worse, many of such money making survey opportunities are bogus. Imagine completing a series of 20 surveys only to find that your “points” are not credited into your account. Or in the middle of a 60 minute survey, the server broke down and you are not credited for the points.

All these potential dead ends add to the burden of clicking the mouse.

Withdrawing your earnings is also a major issue. The survey companies often set a minimum balance before you can withdraw any money.

To achieve that minimum balance will take a lot of eyeball time out of you.

To sum up, taking surveys to make money can be done. But you will need a lot of research to know which are the legitimate ones.

And even so, you will hardly get by using this method.

2.Doing affiliate marketing

If you do not have a website, I will assume that you do not have a landing page. Without a landing page, the only option available is to create a direct link route to the affiliate offer.

Many CPA courses make it sound too easy. The overused sales headlines of earning a gazillion dollars within 3 hours hides the ugly truth behind CPA marketing and affiliate marketing.

CPA marketing requires your “customer” to perform a certain action, sometimes the action is just clicking on their offer.

Sounds easy?

Really?

How difficult can it be to encourage someone to click on an image?

It can be really difficult it seems.

Because most of the big players who make money use Paid traffic. They pay for the traffic and use persuasive techniques online to make them click.

This method of making money can be dangerous for a newbie because you can lose a fortune doing this.

Your campaigns might not run well in your initial few runs.

Within a week you can find yourself losing money.

But there are indeed experts that make money using CPA.

They experiment and test lots of different traffic sources.

They put the prospects through numerous sales funnels.

They track and test everything in the process.

Their goal is to make sure they spend less than the money they make.

Do not blindly believe claims that says “I generated $213,456 revenue in less than 7 days”. Though it might be true, the claimant might have spent $212,000 generating that revenue.

If there is too much hype surrounding the offer, you got to have your radar detectors up.

3. Making money posting Youtube Videos

So you heard of that Gangnam Style video that generated that historic one billion views. That might have inspired many to start their youtube accounts and start posting goofy dance videos.

But making money on Youtube might not be what its cracked up to be.

First, you got to ensure that your video goes viral. Viral videos often border on the horizon of incredible occurrences or feats of nature.

How many of such videos can you produce?

There are ways to make money on Youtube.

But not by generating views and collecting that ads revenue.

Because if you rely on that, your earnings will be pittance.

To make money on Youtube, you need to link it to an affiliate offer and create annotation links back to your website.

OOPS, I forgot this article is not supposed to involve website.

You can succeed if you have the right guidance.

One of the best courses to make money online using Youtube is Youtube Enigma which teaches you step by step how to do it.

But I am not saying that its entirely impossible. You just need to put in a tremendous amount of work. And remember, viral videos are usually random events. And you cannot afford to put your earnings on random events.

4. Create a Fanpage on Facebook

You can create a fan page on Facebook featuring your brand or product. Create buzz by inviting your friends to like the page. Generate viral content on your product. Let your fan page be known by word of mouth (aka word of likes)

This way of making money is possible if you own an offline business too. I know of one lady who created a fan page on her customised cakes. She updates her fan page with numerous pictures of her creations and generated tons of sales from there. Eventually, her customised cakes services went viral and it contributed to tons of sales.

If you are using this method of making money, then you will need to have a business that can engage the visitor through attractive and amazing photos.

One of the best guides on making money using Facebook Fan Pages is the courseYour Page or Mine. It is a beautifully done step by step guide.

Best thing about using Facebook Fan Pages is its FREE.

In fact, some say Facebook fan pages can replace a simple webpage.

In a sense, its true.

Setting up a Facebook fan page is much easier than setting up a website.

And the best thing about Facebook fan pages is… whenever you update your content, the content is also being optimised for your brand.

Don’t be surprised if your customers actually come across your brand through Google search.

5. Make Money on ebay.

One of the oldest tricks in the bag. This perennial method of making money has been over sensationalised. I believe you have heard of stories about people clearing their junk by selling on ebay.

But many of these stories are true.

There are indeed many ebay millionaires created.

But everything starts from the first step.

Get yourself registered on Ebay and think of what you can list to sell.

However, do not start thinking you will make your very first sale with your only listing.

List a number of items, not only one.

Chances are, you will only sell a few out of the many items you list.

But do not be discouraged.

If you are starting out without much capital, then I will suggest you avoid going out to buy things and sell on ebay. Instead, focus on what you have already.

Items which are unwanted or unused by you can always be listed for sale.

Doing research on Ebay is necessary.

But this will open up another 100 page article.

Do a google search and you will see what are the steps to take.

6. Posting your Photos For Sale At Shutterstock.

Ever wondered why ShutterStock charge a bomb for their subscriptions?

Yes, that right, because many of the photographers need to be paid.

In fact, you can get on Shutterstock and sell photos taken by you.

Granted you may not be a gifted photographer but who knows?

Try opening an account with them and set up to sell prized photos.

Does this method really work?

Well, with the number of photographers selling their stuff on Shutterstock … I think it works…but as usual, nothing comes easy. you got to work for it.

7. Participate in Forum Discussions – and Promote Affiliate Offers.

One of the easiest ways to build authority is to get involved in forum discussions.

Do a google search for forums pertaining to your niche.

Participate in their active discussions and find out what is lacking in the niche.

Find an affiliate offer that caters to that need and subtlety promote them in your signature.

Many forums have rules pertaining to marketing of third party products.

Observe the rules before posting.

Some forums require you to have at least 5 posts before having your own signature.

If its worth waiting for, stick around till you have gained some alliances with fellow forumers.

Do not post offers as major topics unless there is a separate section for “members’ offers”.

You do not want to get banned for one moment of foolishness.

Offer help and provide value to other members of the forum.

Naturally, you will gain the respect and trust of others.

Promote relevant products.

Make sure the products work before promoting them.

Personally I have tried this method and it works for me.

8. Register Yourself as a Seller on Fiverr

Fiverr is a place for you to provide your expertise for $5.

Go to Fiverr. com and see what are the services you can provide.

From writing to voiceover to product reviews, there will be something you can offer on Fiverr.

There are also many programs out there such as Fiverr Income Secrets that help you to succeed on Fiverr.

If you embark on this path, then you will need to have patience. Sales will only build up when you have a better reputation and ratings.

9. Be a Writer At The Content Authority

The Content Authority is a website that provide article writing services.

There are four different levels of authorship.

Standard being the lowest and Expert being the highest.

You start off by being at the standard level and move up based on the ratings given by your customers.

Depending on the length of article requested by the customer, you will usually make more than what you would on Fiverr.

Because most orders are expected to pass certain quality checks, you have to make sure that your grammar is correct before making money on The Content Authority.

I have never been a writer for The Content Authority but I sure am a customer for them.

They value their writers and reward their writers well.

Check them out and I am sure you can work at your own pace and enjoy sufficient good income.

10. Best Way of ALL – Using Arbitrage – Rating :10 out of 10

Arbitrage is finding things at a lower price and selling the same things at a higher price in a different market.

It is simply the art of buying low and selling higher.

You can make money using this method by manually finding buyers on craigslist and finding sellers on Fiverr.

This method works best for items that are digital or design related.

Best items to arbitrage are logos, ebook covers and voiceovers.

You can either search the gigs manually or you can invest in an automated search tool to sift out all the best deals for you from Craiglist and match them with Fiverr Suppliers. This automated tool is useful as it make it much easier to make this system work.

In fact, there are users who made profits within the first weeks of work.

So here you are, the 10 ways to make money online WITHOUT a website. I must say that if you really want to establish a long term business online, having a Website is a MUST. But if you are on a tight budget, you can try out some of the above methods.
