Of course, there are many ,,guaranteed recipes" about how to invest your money. But is it possible to begin earning money online without any investments?
The answer is
YES. For example most of the bloggers started by a simple free blog on a blogging site such as
www.blogger.com or
www.wordpress.com.
There are several ways of earning money without investing:
Blogging
Blogging is just one of many ways of making real money online, and your success depends mostly on your dedication to achieve your goal.
Your goal: make quick money online - Bad
If you want your blog to succeed and to get a lot of traffic, your aim should be to
satisfy your visitors needs - let them find what they are looking for.
If your blog's name is:
How to teach a parrot speak? Your visitors expect some advises, tips and tricks, tutorials, your content has to be unique and of high quality. Create a youtube video of yourself teaching your parrot funny phrases, and don't forget to advertise your own page in the video/description.
Visit forums dedicated to this topic, share your blog posts with advises.
How to monetize your blog?
1) Advertisement
Putting advertisements on your blog/page is one of the most common ways of earning money. It's very simple once you have your blog running. You get paid for each time someone clicks on an advertisement on your page or by an amount of views of the advertisement. The advertisements are contextual, so people are more likely to be interested in the advertised product/webpage/service, that means they are more likely to click on it. The most widespread advertising system is Google Adsense, but be careful to obey their rules. The main rules are:
- Never click your own advertisement.
- Do not use systems for automatic generation of views or clicks.
- Do not urge people to click on your advertisements.
- Do not share data like earnings, cost per like anywhere.
- Do not place their advertisements on page which violates their guidelines. e.g the page which sells alcohol, hacking/cracking content, pornography (whole list: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/48182?hl=en)
These are just few of the adsense rules.
Making your own blog is NOT a quick way how to earn money, but it is a good way once you get into it, which takes a lot of time and dedication.
2) Affiliate marketing
Earning money for mediating sale of some products or services. You will get a percentage of the profit.
If you review washing machines in your blog, you can provide a link which will lead the visitor to the sellers page. In most cases, there is a time limit (e.g. 30 days), in which if the sale is made, you will get your share of profit.
One of the best places to look for your merchants is

amazon associates affiliate program. Amazons cookie lasts only for 24 hours - but you get commissions for everything what the customer which came through your site buys! Commissions for amazon starts at 4% and change with the amount of products sold through you.
This is a very good way of earning money!
