I wonder why such simple and boring applications like those in my Facebook (or maybe yours too) draw much attention from users.

I got at least two invitations a day inviting me to play Facebook applications. So I tried to see it in a different way: some applications like Farmville, Poker (now those ones aren’t as goofy as the others), Cafe Remodel and Pet Society require you to use real money to play better, even though you can always play without buying any extra tokens, chips, or coins. But you sure will play better if you buy. Is it another online money making ideas? Yap for sure! A lot of it!

Here are some hints to get you started. In order to create a Facebook application, you should know or need the following:

• You should be well versed in PHP or some other programming language, such as Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, or Python, especially one that has a client library for Facebook API.
• You need to have a basic understanding of the Internet, SSH, MySQL, and Unix
• You need to be familiar with Web hosting fundamentals and have a place to host your application.

Some outline in http://wiki.developers.Facebook.com/index.php/Creating_Your_First_Application and http://www.virtualmarketingblog.com/how-to-make-Facebook-applications/ should give you good enough idea to get you going. They sure are a long list to do. But looking at how much interest Facebook applications are getting from the crowds, I’m sure they will all pay off.

Here are 4 more advantages you’ll get by making applications for Facebook:

1. A January 2009 Compete.com study has ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace. According to comScore, Facebook is the leading social networking site based on monthly unique visitors, having overtaken main competitor MySpace in April 2008. ComScore reports that Facebook attracted 132.1 million unique visitors in June 2008, compared to MySpace, which attracted 117.6 million. More than 63 million active users, An average of 250,000 new registrations per day since January 2007, An average of 3% weekly growth since January 2007 and Active users doubling every 6 months. You’ll sure get the crowds.
2. The Facebook iPhone website was launched August 2007 and as of July 2008 over 1.5 million people use it regularly. You can also make applications for iPhone and get paid! [read the article from us].
3. Many large companies are paying top dollar to developers who know how to build Facebook applications. Just do a search on any of the major job search sites for ‘Facebook developer’ and you’ll see just how large the demand for developers is.
4. Even the stupid goofy applications can earn a lot of cash!

Of course, you need to also consider some things below:

1. You’ll compete with many application creators like you. Make sure you have something “more” in your application to attract users (though the stupidest application on earth still sells in Facebook, but we’re sure you want to earn more)
2. It takes time. Creating Facebook application is not an easy money job, but you’ll earn way more than any other easy online money making ideas.

Just by seeing how much Facebook has taken over the society, we’re sure you’ll be a “big fish” in the business. Try it and figure it out. Good Luck!

Incentivized freebies websites are basically run for the same aiming like traditional affiliate marketing. They invite people to sign up to their links and get paid for it. It’s the legitimate version of those “Click here to get a free iPod” websites you’ll often see advertised at the top of other websites. The only difference between these two is the incentive. With the old affiliate systems, offering incentive of any sort will get your account closed and withhold your earnings for violating their term of uses.

Incentivized freebies websites allows you to offer incentives in return for somebody who signs up under your affiliate link. Once they sign up, the incentivized freebies website where you’re signed will grant you some cash for a decent amount per sign up: A rather clever idea other than any other online money making ideas.

Here is how to get you started:

1. Sign up to incentivized freebies websites such as Anything4Free, FreeIpodGuide, Freebiescout, FreeForAllMankind, v-bux, and 3604free just to mention a few. Once you have signed up, you’ll get a referral link.
2. Use this link to refer people to sign up to the site
3. Earn cash.

That easy!

You can also complete tasks given in the website for extra few bucks. Those tasks are given by sponsor websites that are willing to pay the incentivized freebies websites that actually give you back some bucks of their payments. They may pay you via Paypal or check.

Having the system, two major things to keep you earning more with incentivized freebies websites is your determination and time. The more time you are willing to spend building your network and do your tasks, the more money you will get. The more organized you are to sign up and cancel to and from the paid sign up websites, more cash you will cunningly get.

The advantages of earning money online using these incentivized freebies websites are:

• It is easy and cheap. You can do it online at home or office with no extra accommodation money
• It may not make you rich instantly, but you can get from $20 up to $250 in the first three days
• No matter how old you are, as long as you are more than fourteen, you can do this job and get paid
• There are hundreds of these kinds of websites in the internet. The free ones and ones that require payments using your credit card. Be organized and you’ll earn more

There are also some downsides of course:

• When you are less organized to cancel those paid sign ups or product trials, you’ll lose a whole lot more than you have earned
• Because there are hundreds of these websites, you may not have a lot of referrals to be referred to all these sites. Stick to ones with better offers, then you’ll be alright
• Always beware of spam!

So, this online money making idea is actually one that may earn you more bucks compared to any other online money making ideas. But it all depends on your own determination and time. Good Luck!

Advancement in advertising methods and highly dense competition in product promotions have made it possible for people to do easy things and get paid. Thousands of people are paid by big companies everyday just to tell them what they think of their products. When you have the time to fill out surveys, you have the chance of earning money the easiest way, ever. It is the simplest ways of online money making ideas. All you need is a computer, internet access, and time. That’s it!

A paid survey is a type of online statistical survey in which the surveyor is rewarded through an incentive program. This survey requires the surveyor to fill out questionnaire forms from some different companies that are interested in getting to know market’s opinions to help them evaluate their products or services. For the surveyor’s time and willingness to fill out their forms, they reward cash. The payments can vary according to the nature of the survey.

Before deciding one site, find information about: the company’s recognition and certification’s board (make sure they have proven track records and monitored database), amount of database with easy navigation (this will be easier for you to find what you are looking for), amount of money awarded per se (see if it is worth doing), and the payment terms.

A couple sites that are worth to try are Ciao Surveys and Your Voice (by Nielsen). I personally have been using them for quite a while, just because they are the leader in online survey provider.

Advantages

1. No experience needed. Beside its simplicity, other advantages of applying this money making idea are even without any marketing experience, you can make money online by filling out surveys and this is such a perfect work at home opportunity to earn extra income the easy way.
2. You have no boss to tell you this and that.
3. You have a freedom of time, whenever you want to work, you do it. If you want to earn money, just sign up and fill the survey. If you want to earn more, sign up to more websites and fill out more surveys. No deadlines!

Consideration

Even though this seems to be the easiest online money making ideas, it still has some flaws that may become your consideration. The incentives offered may not always be appealing, they may be localized while you are out off their region, you may become a spam victim when you subscribe online to a certain website, and you may fed up with the same questions asked over and over again.

When you have the time to sit back at home and feel good about filling up surveys, earn some cash from it. Good Luck!

There are so many online money making ideas these days, but only a few are clever and stand out among any other ideas.

Drop Shipping is one of the cleverest online money making ideas. Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique, in which the retailer doesn’t stock goods.

They link customers’ orders and shipment details to the manufacturer or wholesaler, who will ships the goods directly to the customers’ doors. They make profit on the wholesale price and retail price differences.

How to do this money making idea?

Being a drop shipping retailer is easy. If you have a place for showroom unit, you can keep one item of each kind so the customer can see the sample goods and inspect that the items they are going to buy are similar to those on your display. If you don’t, you can simply order a product catalogue from the wholesaler or make it yourselves just by downloading pictures from their official websites and print them as your catalog.

Drop shipping can also occur when the goods order is large. Rather than route the shipment through the retailer, they may arrange the goods to be shipped directly to the customers’ doors. This is very common in big ticket items like construction materials. The retailer will take a deposit and get the goods shipped directly from the supplier’s facility to the buyers. On many occasions, a manufacturer or a wholesaler produces a custom item for a retailer and drop ships it, called private label drop shipping. So, all you have to do is find a reputable and trusted manufacturer or wholesaler that is willing to ship one item at a time and use your name as the shipper. For that, you can always use the internet!

Advantages

Two major advantages of money making online using drop shipping are:

1. You don’t have to upfront inventories and it has a positive flow cycle. This occurs because the seller is paid once the purchase is made, usually the payments are made using credit cards or credit items.
2. It reduces costs in supply chain by eliminating duplication of effort in picking, packing, and shipping the products while it also reduces total inventory management and shipping costs.

Challenges

1. Back ordering may occur when seller places a shipment request to a wholesaler but the products are discontinued or sold out.
2. Long wait for a shipment while the wholesaler waits for products’ renewal. This will reflect badly on the seller. The seller has to be updated: being aware of the sale quantities available from the wholesaler.

So, what are you waiting for? Find good popular products on sale and let them work for you in market. You can use eBay, Craiglist or any online stores. Sit back and enjoy your drop shipping income.

A single idea maybe worth a million dollars

by Robert Collier

My 12-year-old nephew had just bought himself a Yorkshire Terrier. When I saw him playing with the dog, I couldn’t restrain myself to ask him whether my sister really pulled the money out of her pocket to give his son a dog. Because I know my sister, she is definitely not a fan of dogs. Surprisingly, my sister didn’t. My nephew got the dog by his own money. How could a 12-year-old jobless boy buy a Terrier by his own?

This is his idea and I want to share it with you. He said, “I sold and rented my unused toys and video games. My mom always keeps them clean so I can sell or rent them as if they are new.” The idea can be used by adults also, but the location is different. If my nephew pulled a garage-sale in front of the yard, you can do much better with OLX.

Classified sites always become the number one source of online money making ideas. In this article, I am giving you another simple yet effective idea to make money online easily. So, what is OLX? Why not eBay? That’s because OLX has many online classifieds. Not only you can post or offer things to sell, you can also look for jobs, houses, pets, services, cars, apartments, community, even a partner! OLX is 100% free of charges and visited by more than 50 million people a month! So, don’t worry if your things left unseen.

Here are some online money making ideas you can try with OLX:

1. You can rent your car or apartment to people who need it. Post the picture of your car inside and outside, of course, make it look comfortable. Give the details about how many hours/days the car is available for rent, how you want the car or apartment remain clean, and warn the potential buyers for every damages happened during the rent will require them to pay for the fix. If you rent an apartment, make sure you include all the details and all the fees that they have to pay. Don’t just rent them to any people though; you need to be sure that these people are a responsible folks that you can trust with your car/apartment.
2. Offer your best service. It can be any kind of service from baby-sitting, domestic help, repairing things, or event organizer. Don’t be shocked when you find so many people don’t understand how to vacuum their own house, plus they give you big money to clean their house. You could also do the old-fashioned babysitting children. Some people even hire you to walk their dogs. You could really get a lot of cash after 3-4 easy services.
3. Give lessons. Yes, I mean tutoring. Parents look for the best solution in order to help their kids to do more learning than playing. If you are good in Math, post your ad that you give a tutoring or private lesson to children. Make sure you sound convincing and educated. 2-3 kids can help your money problem in a short time.
4. Ask your friends and families for their unused stuff, take photos, and help them sell it on OLX. Tell them to not give too high prices because they are used stuff. Then, give a little bit of cash to yourself while you sell other people’s stuff.

There are endless online money making ideas you can experiment with OLX. Of course you can sell your stuff also, but why should you if you can give gardening service, rent your place, provide tutoring service, and sell others’ stuff? It needs some efforts for sure, but it is super easy way to get money online. If my nephew could do it, why not you?

I like watching Youtube. It makes me feel like everyone could be someone. Youtube has been the biggest hit for broadcasting everything since past 5 years. Even real Hollywood celebrities are posting themselves to Youtube too! It is weird, because celebrities get paid to act in a movie or advertise something in television. Then, what are the benefits of posting themselves for free on Youtube? I think it’s not about money, but to be heard in a certain kind of way, you have to be yourself and share some ideas to others.

I think about how many people those already get famous in Youtube. Like a million people compete to be funny, pretty, singer, dancer, etc. And some of them really manage to get famous in the real world. For example, Marie Digby who is famous because of her singing talent on Youtube and then she had brought to made a real album. The comments below every video also very helpful and create a good impression in people’s eyes. I also know Kevin Jumba who got his video responded by Jessica Alba! It was silly video like competition to keep your eyes open the longest. Jessica Alba won the competition. Still, Kevin is the lucky guy who got responded by a huge star like her. There are so many of them, David Choi, Happy Slip, Big Honkin, etc. They are talented and famous for being who they are.

Big Honkin and some other Youtubers are more than just a celebrity. They are producers who create a very unique and awesome comedy show on Youtube. They have posted 17 episodes until now and they already have a fans club. Personally, I love their show that called “The Defenders of Stan”. It is very funny, inspiring, entertaining, and getting attention. The actors are not so handsome like Brad Pitt or Orlando Bloom, but super talented and people love them. They are really showing personalities instead of acting.

The difference between Youtube celebrities and Hollywood actors are how much money they get from one recording video. But, money is not eternal. The benefit of being Youtube Celebrities is you are not forgotten that quickly. Because stars on TV and movies have their “up and down” situation. They don’t get famous for life except you are the legendary stars like Demi Moore or Madonna. Youtube celebrities are remained way longer because they are closer to their fans. And they are REAL people. The great thing is people love you, not because your acts are amazing but you are you.

Don’t you think you can do it too? Everyone has a chance to be a star. Forget auditioning for Hollywood Movies.. Your chances are little. Instead, you can try to become a Youtube celebrity. People will recruit you if you express interesting idea to the world. Maybe they want you to advertise their things on Youtube or do a review for their movies? It will be a fun and easy way to make money…

Then, design it with whatever style you want by click on the available templates. Then, choose your products. Every click generated will earn you a commission.

Do you have a special talent in writing or brilliant ideas to developed a certain keywords into a thousand words? Do you understand well about programming and you feel like you don’t make enough money? Are you a good salesman? Are you good in designing logo? If you do and you are one of them, I told you, you can make a lot of money out of it. Maybe you haven’t known the secret yet, but I’ll guide you to it.

Why not be a freelancer for good?

Maybe you will think, bullshit, freelancers have to compete and there are thousands of them out there. Getting one project is not easy! You are right. When you signed up to a website for freelancers, let’s say, GetAFreelancer.com, you are not making a good money out of it. Because sometimes you are hired and sometimes you are not. Do you want to know the strategy to get projects? I will tell you some, because this is my personal experience.

When I was freelancing a year ago, I didn’t think freelance is a good job actually. It is very tiring and sometimes I work until midnight because I have deadline in the morning. Being a freelancer, you are getting nice payment, but damn… the work is hard. It is never ending bidding. Yes, if you signed up to GetAFreelancer.com, Odesk.com, Elance.com, or any other freelancer websites, you have to compete with other freelancers to bid the fastest and the lowest. Yes, sometimes you are so eager to get a job, you always bid low and so many times, you even didn’t get picked!

This is what you can do.. First, set your account to receive notices via email or RSS feeds when a new project is posted. So, you can hurriedly bid to it. The key to getting the job is to send the job owner a private message. Offer him your work sample and give him your contact information. However, don’t use a template reply for every single project you bid on. Instead, modify your message to reflect the actual project specifications and address all the questions that are specifically asked by the job owner. And then if the job owner replies and you gave him your work sample, if you really what he’s looking for, you must be hired. That is the easiest (and dumbest) way that I did previously, but I can tell you, IT WORKS! You may consider to accept low pay to start off with. Build up a good list of regular clients to start with and you could ask more for your work once your popularity rises.

To make things short, after getting a job, I believe you will face the tiring and exhausting days of working. But, I tell you what, you have to do a great job and make a good impression as a diligent hard worker. Don’t make any silly and unresolvable mistakes, instead,  get focus on your works. The job owner will give you the next job and regularly you will work for him.

This is where my secret starts…

You can begin to post some jobs for local freelancers who are paid lower than you are. Yes, you’re right, you are going to give local freelancers the project that you got from the job provider and pay them less than the actual job owner pay you. This time you are the job owner. You bid some projects and let others work for you. Ask them to work as best as they can. And after that, you can relax and enjoy yourself when others are working wearyingly for you. This idea will really useful and give you really good income if you are living in developing country with lower salary standard.

Not a bad online money making idea, I heard? Indeed…!

What do you think? Have you ever done your freelancing job and make some money from it?

Later, I will post some tactics and strategies you can use to successfully win jobs in these freelancing areas…
