Here is something for you if you like to spend time on FaceBook. It is an application called ClowdCrowd. It allows you to choose from a few available jobs which include things like editing text or categorizing products (much like Amazon’s Mturk). You won’t get rich doing this as most jobs pay just a dollar or two but if much of your day is spent checking Facebook messages anyway, then this is something worth looking into. Take a look at CloudCrowd.
Seemile is a new education marketplace where you can upload voice or video files of your lectures. You can set your own price and upon anyone purchasing it you will get paid, minus some commission which is kept by the site.
The site is still very new and obviously this is not an opportunity that will appeal to everyone but if you are able to teach a topic it could be worth giving the site a try.
If you have ever wanted to design your own fabrics but were not sure how to go about it, take a look at SpoonFlower.com. It is a new web site that allows anyone to print any design onto fabric and have it shipped for a reasonable price, even internationally. Fabrics then can be used to make things or be sold as is (as long as Read more…
As Twitter gets more and more popular there are many new services popping up for the Twitter community. One of the latest is Twee Bay - a free service you can use to buy and sell items using Twitter. There is the option of listing as an auction or as a classified and payment is handled by Google Checkout. Although the service is new it looks like something with a lot of potential.
There are quiet a few ways to monetize a blog and asking for tips or donations is one of them. TipJoy is a site that makes it very easy to accept donations (or even sell digital goods) not just through your blog but also Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and just about anywhere else you can think of. Tipjoy also makes it easier to accept smaller donations without Paypal fees eating up all of it so people can even send payment that are under $1 which is sure to encourage giving :) .
I have written about social lending or financing in an earlier post and this is just a quick note to mention a new social financing site ZimpleMoney which has just launched. ZimpleMoney can be used to manage loans amongst friends and family or even as a platform that third parties such as non profits can build lending services on top of.
If you enjoy writing, and you are looking for a way to make some money from home, one option is to provide guest posts for blogs. Blog authors are often looking for guest writers and in return, guest posters can either promote their own blogs or in some cases, receive financial compensation for their efforts. Here are ten blogs which offer payment for guest posts:
Pays up to $150 per Photoshop or Illustrator tutorial that is accepted.
SitePoint strives to be at the forefront of new ideas, emerging challenges, and cutting-edge technology on the Web.
Leading web design magazine. I am not sure how much they pay but if you can write articles good enough to be accepted here then it is worth doing just for the traffic and recognition alone. Read more…
Your business card can have a powerful effect on your small business. Being such a common thing, it can sometimes be taken for granted and even somewhat neglected at times. However it can be your visual brand, the thing that people will make decisions about you by before they even meet you. The more likely it is to portray the right image and be remembered the more likely it is that you will be getting some new (and possibly even more importantly repeat) business.
There are many places on the internet you can go to for inspiration when it comes time to design your card. Design blogs as well as the Flickr business card images set being some of them.
There are some amazing examples of what a little bit of creativity can achieve.
Whether you choose to hire a professional designer or design the card yourself, the procedure is a whole lot more affordable then it used to be. Printing a business card (or even poster printing for that matter) can be done online these days for a few cents per card (no more expensive print shops!) so there are no more excuses not to go out and get the best cards your small business deserves.
Buying an established web site is slightly more expensive then what some of you want to spend in order to start earning a living from home. But if you find the right web site it can be money very well spent. Established sites can sometimes go for as little as $100, simply because their owners have had to sell it for one reason or another.
Quickly some advantages of buying an established site:
- The idea, domain name, the design and some content is already taken care of and you don’t need to spend time or money in acquiring these.
- An established site will already have some traffic, people linking to it, be indexed by search engines etc. Read more…
Bukisa is a new site where you can share your knowledge and get paid. Although there is nothing new or revolutionary about this (I have a list of similar sites in other posts) Bukisa has an extra feature with lots of potential. You can refer users and create a network. A user that owns a network will not only enjoy the revenue sharing of their work, but will also profit from their network friends’ revenue sharing. A little bit like network marketing - the more people you refer the more money you can make.
The only problem at the moment is that as far as I can tell you can only invite people by email, not through a referral link. Which kind of limits your earning potential, or at least makes it a lot less automated. Hopefully they will introduce affiliate links in the future.
