No joy can be better than the joy of getting paid for your efforts. Be it online work or whatever type. However, as far as freelancers are concerned, getting paid for the online employment is far too satisfying. The reason is simple that the freelancers have to wade through a number of scam web sites that are always lurking to get the pie of the earnings at even not paying. So it gets difficult to make out the real from the counterfeit one.

However, this does not mean all sites are scams. There are really very authentic sites that are doing business very honestly for years on end. When one works with such sites, one thing is certain, the efforts won’t go in vain. It depends on the earning ability. Earning is guaranteed at such places.

Online Writing

There are many categories of web sites from where one can earn online income. Though not all sites can make you equal money, they won’t let you go empty-handed either. There are quite a few dedicated sites only to write and post articles. Writers can show off their writing skills and according to the revenue sharing model can earn well there.

There are two ways to get paid when it comes to freelance writing. Some people prefer to get paid up front – where you get paid only once for a single article, while others are inclined towards page view earnings, where a certain article can keep you giving money forever. Why there is a difference and why people prefer to get paid out of these two options would be an entirely different topic.

Some people are full time writers or bloggers and earn squarely through writing only. There are many such people who earn a few thousand dollars per month in this way. That is indeed tremendous earning, the reason being that there is a big junk of people who earn only in pennies or a few dollars in a certain month.

PTC – Paid To Click

Clicking for a few pennies or cents daily is also another way of earning these days, known as PTC – paid to click. This industry cannot be neglected or looked down upon as there are some genuine sites that are honestly doing business when there is all the possibility of every site going scam.

When other sites go scam and the good old sites still remain active and keep paying their members, they establish the credibility of their own. Upgrading the accounts to get more benefit is also another side of the business. There are people who ‘invest’ in such sites and do earn a considerable amount every month.

Forum Posting

Even forum posting can be a good source of side income. It keeps you connected with the members of that particular forum and also adds to your knowledge when you and others share the thoughts. There are a lot of forums on various topics and almost every forum has members that are pretty helpful and understanding. Many times you will get an answer from a totally strange person.

But not all forums can earn you bucks. Some forums are simply for sharing queries and answers or for enjoying in the community. Many times people do find their answers on the forums that otherwise would have been difficult to get elsewhere as there is no one to approach.

Apart from these methods, blogging, affiliate marketing, advertising, etc. are many more methods that can earn you considerable amount of money, provided the nail is hit on the head. The possibilities are unending and the horizons of online earning have spread. You just need to know how to tap the prospects.
