Below we are going to discuss some of the ways by which you can make money online. It may not be the big cash that you may earn, but it will be much easier than what people usually say;

1. Take Paid Memberships on Online Forums
Online forums are one of the best places to start your money online journey, especially the ones that are famous worldwide.

I have observed some of the internet marketing forums like Black Hat World and Worrier Forums. Out of these two, I have used Black Hat World, where you can buy their Jr. Exe. Membership and then you also get a signature that you can rent out for advertisements.

After doing this, you just need to be active on that forum, and the more you are active, the more you are visible to people and hence they would like to pay you rent for your signature space.

This way, you can make money online the genuine way. I have seen people making good bucks just by renting out their signature spaces on BHW, which is a great way to make money online by doing what you like, and that is to be active and talk to people around the world.

2. Offer your services
If you have some skills, even if those are intermediate, you can get good offers from businesses. For example, if you know how to make simple websites, you can use your selling skills to sell single-page websites to people in your locality.

For example, I built several one-page websites for some local businesses like courier shops and even pharmacy shops.

They usually want an online presence to show how authentic they are, and you can help them with the same. You can even list them on Google My Business or some other platform where local searchers are indexed and can charge them for local SEO as well.

3. Become a Virtual Assistant
Virtual Assistant jobs are great. You can search them on job networks or even get registered with some freelancer website. You just have to take all the online work from executives around the world and get paid.

I usually outsource my tasks to virtual assistants like that scheduling my meetings, booking tickets, and handling society tasks like follow-up for plumbing issues or talking to marketers. This helps me keep myself focused on my work and in return, I pay for some fee to the Virtual Assistants that we mutually agree before signing the contract to work together.

So, one can say most of the online work I outsource, I sometimes also outsource buying groceries. I just type groceries that I want and my VAs book them for me and the delivery boy delivers it to my home or wherever I want.

There are a lot of people like me that require Virtual Assistants, that can handle their online tasks. This gives them a lot of mental peace and they can focus on their work much easily. So, this is one of the genuine ways of making money, and if you are from a country whose dollar to local value is more, then you can actually make more because you will be earning in dollars.

4. Take online classes
This is not creating online courses, but you need to check job boards. There are a lot of people from around the world that are posting ads for teachers or online tutors for their kids, and you can take this opportunity to make money in foreign currencies.

I used to teach some kids web development and they used to pay me money, which was a good trade, and this is a requirement for every parents these days, so there is usually no market saturation. You can definitely go ahead with this.

The major task will be in checking out or finding people that need your online classes, and you can do that by checking job boards or just checking out with your connections on facebook or some other social networking platform.
