Looking for advice to earn online!

[Elden]

Hi all,
I am married and I am working in a private company but I am unable to meet all the needs of a family because of a small pay package. I have two kids and my old father with me. I am too much depressed as I am going through this economic crisis, so I want to start some online jobs that can give me some additional income. Can anyone give me some good money making tips? I'm looking forward to your suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

It's sort of not to do with the forum, -but here's an idea I've toyed with before: -do you or your family have any special kitchen recipe, some family speciality? My dad for instance, makes an awesome homemade chili. My speciality is riccotta-stuffed pasta shells, and an egg, ham & vegetable quiesh... -It's amazing that people would pay a dollar or two for a recipe...
Write-up a recipe with complete ingredients, how-to step by step, cooking times and such, and place an add in a local newpaper for that recipe for a dollar or two. You can use your computer to make a 'page', and photo-copy it.

Or, post the ad on craigslist.com. I can just about guarantee one thing: -you will not ever receive a reply that says "...I read your ad. I am not interested". I'm saying, the only replies you will get, are positives. If it brings in $10 or $20 a week, -great.
Maybe, take this to the next step: create a web-page and post your recipes with some 'freebies' recipes, and others, 'for sale'. Place some Google adsence ads on there, -that alone might generate a few additional dollars a month.

I agree. A niche is what you need to find. That's what has worked for many people, e.g. amazon.com (at least it was a niche at the time ...).

Give Google Ads a try. I have heard stories of people who rake in a couple hundred dollars monthly (but that is a rare thing).
Just make a site containing something people want (I dunno, recipes) and use Google Ads.

I don't use them myself, so I'm afraid I don't know too much.

-Don't mind doing pooper-scooper? I see handbills here in Toronto for 'will come to your yard and pick-up your dog's fecal droppings' and a 'nominal set-fee' is given (cannot discuss amount, but) very reasonable for what would be maybe 10-minute job with short shovel, mop-pail and plastic bag.
What you do with the doggie dung after the fact... that be the question! :(

Be creative: YOU post the ads, man the phone, take the 'pick-up requests' and send ambitious young boys out to perform the deed, YOU collect the $ from the client (like, a weekly thing), and divy with the help.

Talk to your local supermarket, -you know those BIG markets that have like 100+ shopping carts. Offer to retrive the 'wandered carts' (carts that customers push home, -often a block or two away, then 'ditch' them in lieu of walking it back to the store).
*I* know for a fact that these shopping carts cost several hundred $ each, and I daily see a dozen or so that are BLOCKS from the home-store! Often, they are shoved into the ditch, or off-sides of the building, sometimes, they get 'damaged' due to their neglected location. -That is a bottom-line LOSS to the store. If you would retrive a cart 'off the store lot premises' for a few dollars each and convince the manager that these carts are actually 'missing in action' (a digital camera photograph of several examples would do the trick, -and would demonstrate a actual service being performed!), -you could rake-in a few greenbacks in a few hours on a weekend... enough for a few bags of groceries or whatever. And it wouldn't hurt that you would be making new contacts either! I have found that it is hardly ever what you know, it is who you know..

there are several other ways to make money. you can earn money by sitting in home through online. you can go for domain sales. you can also try another way to earn online. become a reseller.
all you need to do is purchase a reseller hosting account from us on monthly or yearly basis. Now you can host multiple sub-accounts within your reseller account. Just sell the space and make the profit.
I am Doing Online Domain Name reseller account ,now i am earning through it....I got the reseller account at here Goresellers.com (http://www.goresellers.com/) and selling Hosting,domain name earning through it,you can also get that and earn through Online in Home.

Find some real job is my best advise. When you would try to find a way to earn online, there will be plenty of fake websites with best presentation which force you to pay registration fees and at the end you will get only frustration nothing else. Or try to find extra work in your profession than online work. In online, No one is going to pay you money without selling so don't trust on these promotion.
