10 Great Ways To Make Money While You Sleep
Passive income online is something of a holy grail. Everyone wants to “make money as they sleep.” After all, if you can take care of paying the rent without having to spend your time massaging spreadsheets all day, you can do something more worthwhile with your life.
That’s why we are offering you: 10 Great Ways To Make Money While You Sleep.
10 Great Ways to Make Passive Income Online
As with any business that a large number of people want to enter, the widely known sources of passive income have enough people entering those markets that you can expect lots of competition. Your success depends on whether or not you are able to jump the various barriers to entry that inevitably appear. Unfortunately, jumping those hurdles can (if you’re not careful) seriously reduce the “passive” side of passive income online. Certainly in the beginning, passive income can make for longer (sometimes much longer) working days than traditional income.
Once income is coming in, you may still need to check on things and put in work to keep it going. The mindset of someone who succeeds in passive income is not that of “get it done and go surfing.” You need the mindset of an investor. Passive income always starts with a significant investment: if you buy real estate, it’s a financial investment. If you want to make passive income online, you’ll almost certainly invest a very significant amount of time.
The process of making passive income online involves three choices:
- Your business model
- Your niche
- Your target market.
Once you know these, you can implement your business idea, test, and repeat until you have the income you want.
For all the noise about income online, the process is remarkably simple. Try not to get distracted by the flashing lights and shiny objects along the way.
1 - Build an affiliate blog
Set up a blog, promote the blog, and use it to promote affiliate offers. This is by far the best known way to generate a source of passive income online.
Start with an affiliate site like ClickBank or Commission Junction. Find a few offers in a category that you know a bit about. Ideally offers with some degree of recurring income. Make sure they have good numbers, and do your keyword research to make sure there’s demand. After figuring out what keywords to optimize your blog for, start a new blog and write articles. SEO optimize the blog, and promote it around the web. Once the traffic numbers start going up, deploy some ads for affiliate offers. People click on the ads, and you get paid.
Now repeat the process until you have ten or twenty blogs, or maybe hundreds if you want to make some serious cash online.
2 - Put together an auto-responder list
One of the Internet’s most common business models. Once you know approximately what kind of market you want to attract, put together a free product or information people can download if they give you their email. Now drive traffic to a “landing page” that asks for the visitors’ email address. You can even install plug-ins nowadays called Squeeze pages that pop up with an e-mail sign up box when people visit your page. This is a great way to build subscribers and a sales funnel to sell to.
Use an auto-responder like aWeber to email your subscribers the link to download the product or quality information you have to offer, and follow-up with a series of (automatically sent) emails. Spread over weeks and months, build some rapport with your subscribers and then try to sell them on any number of products or affiliate offers. Make sure you break it up though, you need to offer something of value and every few mail outs or so you can send them a link to the product you wish to sell them.
3 - Create a membership community
This is a natural follow-on to the first two methods. If you establish yourself as a worthwhile source of information, you can charge people a membership fee to receive more information or more access. You get recurring income in exchange for your research and time spent producing high-quality content. For truly passive income, you don’t produce the content at all, and instead pay others. Quality control becomes the main challenge then.4 - Sell commercial products online
Customers are buying products online at an extensive rate nowadays. This means that there are a large number of customers looking for exactly what YOU can supply them with.
Checkout Shopify.com They supply you with all the tools you need to sell online.
A number of people have proven that this is a great platform to sell products online. Put up a page and promote it. People pay you money. The product gets delivered to them, while you kick back as the money rolls in.
If Shopify is not your thing then you can always try your luck with eBay. You know what they say, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, so scour through your cupboards and sheds and sell off some of your unwanted treasures.
5 - Arbitrage services
If you can find a market willing to pay significant amounts of money for a service (like writing or design), and a source of labor that provides the needed quality for a lower price, you can arbitrage the two. You act as the “middle man”, “the hook up”.6 - Find Sponsors for Articles or Regular Columns
Some website or blog categories tend to be more popular than others. These can be monetized through sponsorship of a product, logo or mentions of the sponsor.Try to find a sponsor for the articles that tend to attract the biggest number of visitors. The column can be branded or an ad can appear inside a visible open space of the article. Just note that the article or announcement is sponsored by “so and so company”, not only is this good because you are being honest with your visitors, it also shows other potential advertisers that this as a lucrative and effective option that you offer.
7 - Sell your own information product
This is just like selling an eBook, except you publish and sell it yourself (generally) and it can come in the form of an eBook, DVD, software, audio book or VHS video.
When selling your own information product it allows you to keep a higher percentage of the profit. You have greater flexibility with upsells and landing pages compared with selling your products on a 3rd party site, and you can even use this to build your list (see #2), two birds with one stone.
8 - MLM / network marketing
For people who are willing to put in the time understanding just what MLM (Multi Level Marketing) is. The problem with this approach is that it’s very close to a pyramid scheme. In essence, you make money from signing up people who sell the product. A number of highly reputable entrepreneurs such as Donald Trump & Robert Kiyosaki are big fans of Multi-Level Marketing.
Do your research first and make sure that it is a product line you are familiar with and passionate about selling otherwise you will be wasting your time and your friends and family may laugh at you when you approach them with your sales pitch.
9 - Sell advertising
This is very close to #1, but takes much more traffic. In order to make money while you sleep, the site has to be self-sustaining and self-maintaining, which isn’t the easiest thing to do, but is quite possible.
With enough traffic the advertising revenue becomes passive income.
You will make money while you sleep and the hard work will finally pay off. A good way to look at it is, within the first few months you may be earning around $10 – $20 dollars per day (That’s a McDonald’s meal or a full tank of gas), but as you persist and create new content your traffic will grow and so will your earnings, you may even get to the point where you could be making $100 per day, that’s a new pair of shoes each and every day or a flight to a nearby city of your choice per week.
10 - Peer to peer lending
Risky and capital-intensive, peer-to-peer lending involves lending money to people over the internet — generally to people who can’t get credit any other way.
Peer-to-peer lending is very similar to ordinary investing, except with a different asset class and payoff structure. This one is often a last resort but has proven to make good for those who run things the right way and do their homework before they launch.

"Everything changed when a friend showed me a cheque they received for taking a survey.
I was in shock when my friend showed me a $300 cheque he had received. What he told me next changed my life forever. "Companies will PAY ME MONEY for my opinion???" I couldn't believe what he was telling me.
Why hadn't I heard of this before??? When he told me companies spend BILLIONS per year doing market research, I got really excited and started asking him more and more questions. He taught me everything he knew and I signed up to start taking surveys that same day."

Get Paid To Podcast, Teach, or Publish a Newsletter Online
Making money online is a matter of finding an audience who you can either advertise to or receive direct payment from. Either way, you need something interesting or informative with which to catch and hold your readers' attention. Your content is everything.
I'll show you how you can make money presenting and distributing content via podcast or a newsletter, and how you can connect directly with your audience as an online tutor.
Getting Paid To Podcast
To create a podcast, you will need a microphone and some recording software. If you have a camera, you can also produce video podcasts.
You can download a free recording program from audacity.sourceforge.net, where you will also find tutorials on the technical side of podcasting.
When you have the content and are able to produce good quality podcasts, you need listeners. You can find them by submitting your podcast to directories such as podcastalley.com, promoting it through a website or blog, or advertising in forums and newsletters.
The bigger your market, the better. Don't be afraid of competitive markets, they're big for a reason--they pay and people are listening!
You will then be able to make money by finding a sponsor who is willing to pay to reach your listeners. You could find your own advertisers, or join a podcasting network such as podtrac.com.
If your content is desirable enough, you can charge for access to it, through services such as iTunes (apple.com/itunes). If you are selling your podcast, however, it is a good idea to create a free content version too in order to reach new listeners.
How To Get Paid To Publish Online Newsletters
Even if you prefer the written word to audio podcasting, you will still need to take care of some technical details.
The best way to distribute newsletters is through an autoresponder list service. These can be set up to automatically deliver pre-written emails to subscribers at set intervals. Each new subscriber will receive all of the emails in your predetermined sequence. That means you can load up a year's worth of content (or more), and it'll automatically publish straight to your subscribers' email boxes without you touching it again!
A free autoresponder can be downloaded from responders.com, while a more professional program can be bought from aweber.com. These programs will also help with managing your subscriber list, so you stay spam compliant.
A successful newsletter will be attractive, easy to read, and compatible with different computers and internet browsers. You can create beautiful PDF documents using a free program such as openoffice.com.
Also, you do not have to create all your own content. You can get free stock photos and articles from sites such as publicdomainimages.net and ezinearticles.com. You can also pay for pre-written content from sites like associatedcontent.com.
Email newsletters are perfect for marketing your own products, if you are running an online business. You can also make money by selling space to advertisers or even charging for subscriptions.
By using the tools from services such as aweber.com, you can grow your online newsletter list to hundreds or even thousands of people.
Get Paid To Teach People All Over the World
If you have knowledge and experience to share then you can do so in a podcast or newsletter, or by writing content for a site such as demandstudios.com, who will pay for articles.
Alternatively, you can become an online tutor and communicate directly with students through video chat and email. You could find your own students by advertising your services on craigslist.org, or join a company who will pair you up with suitable learners.
In order to get the best jobs, you may need some relevant qualifications, such as a degree, proven experience in a particular field, or a teaching certificate of some kind.
Websites that recruit online teachers include universalclass.com, mytutor24.com, and tutor.com. Wiziq.com has a teacher directory where you can describe yourself and potential students can find you.

Earn Extra Cash With An Income-Boosting Hobby
Earn Extra Cash With An Income-Boosting Hobby
Frugality is an important part of good personal finance habits, especially when that means cutting back on the things you don’t care about to spend more on the things you do. But you can only cut back so far before life gets, well, kind of miserable. The other half of the equation many people miss is earning more. What could you do with a few hundred extra dollars, or more, every month?
Frugality is an important part of good personal finance habits, especially when that means cutting back on the things you don’t care about to spend more on the things you do. But you can only cut back so far before life gets, well, kind of miserable. The other half of the equation many people miss is earning more. What could you do with a few hundred extra dollars, or more, every month?
Maybe you have a specific dream or goal, such as an Alaskan cruise or a new washing machine, or maybe you want to build an emergency fund in a high interest savings account or a CD ladder, but it’s taking too long to meet your goal. How can you speed up your progress?
Your hobby may be an overlooked source of additional income.
Hobbies as Money-Makers
You most likely have at least one or two activities you enjoy in your free time, but it can be difficult to transition your hobby into a side business. Use the following six guidelines from J.D. Roth at GetRichSlowly.org to get the ball rolling:
Many people who want to improve their savings simply wait for their boss to give them a raise, or else they focus only on cutting back expenses. Often, using a hobby to make more money rates low on the list of financial priorities because it seems more complicated than, say, bringing lunch to work to cut back on eating out.
But it’s empowering to create an income stream, no matter how small. It can supplement a low income to make ends meet, make an expensive hobby affordable, give your online savings account a big boost, and give you the added security of diversifying your income. Plus, who knows where it might lead? Sometimes hobbies do transition to full-time jobs, and there’s nothing better than doing what you love, every day.

The channel for fitness, Blogilates, and Pilates teacher Cassey Ho has 16 million views along with an e-commerce feature where she sells her own Pilate exercise clothing line and gym bags.
Cassey Ho says she makes a six-figure income now, all thanks to the #1 video sharing platform, “YouTube”.
2 – Tutorials
Michelle Phan is a 25 year old who creates makeup tutorials and teaches women how to purchase cosmetics. Miss Phan’s vivacious persona and sharp tutorials made her an instant sensation with over 3 million subscribers and more than 647 million video views.
Michelle Phan has been asked by Lancôme to become their authorized video makeup artist. She is just one of many that have made some serious cash from creating a successful tutorial youtube channel.
3 – Create a Series
Brother’s Benny and Raffi Fine made their You Tube “Kids React” series profitable. With over 360 million views, it is easy to see why. The videos show teens and children responding to pop-culture and other viral videos.
They have had so much success they can now afford to hire a team of ten employees to work with them.
4 – Reviewing affiliate programs
An easier, faster and probably the most effective method of making money on YouTube is by promoting affiliate products and then linking them in your description field. To get guaranteed sales through this method, all you need is to show how the product is used to get results. This way you will be able to make a lot of sales.
5 – Create a Hit Single!
South Korean sensation Psy showcased his song “Gangnam Style” on YouTube and the rest is history. Not only has he clocked up more than 7 million likes and over 1 and a half billion views, Justin Bieber’s manager has added Psy to his roster, his single reached pole-position in the iTunes charts in at least nine countries, and he’s now a multi-millionaire just from google ads on his YouTube video!

Currently there are more than 15,000 YouTube partners throughout the world, and online video advertising has reached a staggering $3.4 Billion in 2012; it is expected to reach over $5 Billion in 2013. Most of them make a career out of their videos, with some managing to make 6 figures or more in a year. Partners in this program share income generated from rentals and InVideo overlay ads. They also get opportunities to participate in branded entertainment openings. The YouTube partners are usually featured on YouTube’s homepage, meaning that they enjoy more views and more chances of making money.
It is important to note that, to get into YouTube Partner Program is not easy and requires one to gain subscribers even before applying for the program.
8 - Start A YouTube Competition
Mariah Carey’s Fan Club Remix proposed a remix competition to market a new song. There were 45,000 views within two weeks. The winner’s video claimed the 1st spot from 1,200 entries. Now, this individual has a career as a DJ and video-mixer due to YouTube’s exposure and the competition from the singer’s fan club.
If you can make your competition fun, exciting and with a great reward, you will be able to generate enough exposure for your project or company, so hit the drawing board and come up with a great, legitimate competition out there that will be a win win for you and your contestants.
9 - Sell Links In Your Video Description
Primarily, this method focuses on directing or converting YouTube visitors to another webpage or source. Here, you do not have to make ads in your videos to make money, just a link placement in the description box below.
Your main target is the small percentage of visitors that convert to real customers.
10 – YouTube Rentals
This is one of the most recent ways of making money on YouTube. In this method, content creators are allowed to offer their content for rent and then share a portion of the profits made with YouTube. However, YouTube has not yet clarified whether the service will be available to all or just certain types of users.
This will definitely provide a whole new method of making money on YouTube, as users will be charging rental fees for their videos.
11 - Just Ask for It!
One good success deserves another, and exposure on YouTube helps to sanction start-ups, assisting them with raising the venture capital they need. In addition, YouTube has been assisting nonprofit organizations for fund-raising ventures as well.
The International Fund for Animal-Welfare and Greenpeace has worked with YouTube along with struggling filmmakers. If you are running a non for profit then this may be the platform for you, just make sure that the video is compelling and produced at a high enough quality to really present to the world your good cause.
Summary
Overall, in order to build a following on YouTube the beginning video maker must frequently produce fresh work. This will keep curiosity seekers returning to see what’s new, which in turn spreads the word in cyberspace about what’s trending on YouTube. In addition, video novices must title their video so that anybody searching for its content will easily find it.If you need a little more info on how to stand out on YouTube visit this link here: 8 Ways To Create A Popular YouTube Channel.

10 Creative Ways To Make Money Online
10 Creative Ways To Make Money Online
By Joel on November 19, 2012
If you’d claimed it was possible for the average guy on the street to make millions of dollars online just a decade ago, the chances are good you’d have heard nothing but laughter in response. Today, though, there are countless Internet millionaires who turned a great idea into obscene profit, used the power of the web to promote their offline business or simply worked their butt off to sell their skills online.
While it’s unlikely that you’ll ever earn enough to buy your own private island, there’s nothing to stop you from using your skills to make a comfortable living online. In fact, while the media would have you believe that online success stories are limited to just a few lucky, hard working people who stumbled on a great idea that went on to make millions, the reality is that there are tens of thousands of people who make a living exclusively online. Here are just ten ways you can join them.
How To Make Money Online
1. Sell Stock Photography
The Internet has caused an explosion in the demand for stock photography. As the number of media and commercial outlets has increased dramatically with the growth of online media there’s an enormous need for high quality stock photos.
Yuri Arcurs is the man everyone turns to for their stock photo needs. As the world’s top selling stock photographer he sells an image every 8 seconds, 24 hours a day (that works out to over 4 million images each year). Arcurs makes millions of dollars each year simply by being the best at what he does. There are lots of great photographers in the world and the barrier to entry is as low as ownership of a camera, but Arcurs has managed to build a reputation online for consistent, high quality and imaginative images.
If you’re a professional photographer (or even just a hobbyist) you should consider the possibilities of selling stock images online.
2. Tweet For Sponsors
SponsoredTweets.com is an online platform that allows you to make money on Twitter by charging sponsors for communicating their advertising messages to your followers. You set the amount you want to get paid for every tweet you make, choose a category and select keywords you want to work with.
