What should I do to make some money

**Dedicated37** · 12-15-2010 08:55 PM

Hello I'm quite new here. I do know a thing or two about the web. I have a few forums that I run. They aren't active though. I'm looking for a way to earn some money.

I'm spending my time now learning all I can by reading a whole bunch of marketing e-books as well as books from the library and any online information I can get my hands on.

I was looking into Auto Blogs. I'm thinking maybe I should start a blog or a online store or something....

I really need to start making some money.

What are your forums about? Do you do advertising/Adsense on them?

I know of someone who makes a killing promoting 5 0n 5 Basketball Tournament Fundraisers for schools... They charge like $25.00 Dollars per player = $125.00 Dollars per team x 30 teams that sign up = $3,750 in team fee's.... Then they sell tickets to the parents for like $6.00 - $8.00 Dollars a piece usually a few hundred show up.. Let's say 200 parent's show up that's an extra $2,400 in sales.. $2,400 + $3,750 = $6,150 in sales for one tournament. Putting 20 of these tournaments a year would make you $120,000 +. I have a free report about this venuture and more you can find a link to it in my signature.

I know there are some affiliate programs that are a great way to start making money online. This will be quick money in your pocket, and will be based off of the sales made. Unless you want something that is consistent and want to make residual income. If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

To your success,
Jacob

Also you might want to check out Igive.com they will pay you 2 cents for every search you do, and pay you anytime you shop online.. If you can get a couple of friends and family to do searches on your account and do shopping on your account you can make a little bit of money each month.. I usually make $20 - $30 every month.. I have a shopping addict that shops online all the time that buys from my links LOL.

Try to create an actual product based business first. Think you will find strictly web-based informational type business are easier to start once you've actually developed and marketed a actual tangible product. At least by my experiences.. There are millions of people starting a blog and online store.. you will be competing for scraps online unless you have the next big thing to offer. Otherwise id say don't try and re-invent the wheel, sell a product or service locally and find out how a website can provide you with scale to bring in more customers. Even its a small type of business, opportunities breed more opportunities. Your customers may also be other businesses where you can identify another more profitable need they have and run with that instead. Just sayin.. websites are a dime a dozen nowdays, its really difficult to set yourself apart.

Very nice website! One minor typo on the Title, Professional is spelled wrong. Just a heads up! I started off at a young age too, and even try to keep your age to yourself as much as possible. People do not need to know your age, they need to judge you by your work.

Best of luck!
