Great way to make money online - NOT a scam, I promise...

Post Reply New Topic

I have to say that for the last couple of years I have been at home. My interests of course take me everywhere mentally. I found this great site where I could write for free and if enough people find my page and then also buy things that I can easily add, from such sites as Amazon and eBay, I could actually make a few bucks.

Here is one of my pages Autism: A Parent & Child Journey (http://www.squidoo.com/autism-autismo)that you can check out to see what I am talking about. Although there are a few topics that you cannot write about, most topics, especially those that Aspies love such as technology, science, gadgets, math, etc...are fair game. I can't say enough good things about this way of making money. Although it is hard work, I can assure you that it will be your dream job. I am currently making about 200USD a month from it, although I will admit I put many hours. I do believe you can make much more depending on what you know, write about, etc...

I had also done Zazzle, which is great, but I'm really not a great artist, although I have done ok. Some months I get about 100USD from them too.

It's not great money for everyone, but the potential is there. And if you have lots of free time, lots of interests, I do believe you can do quite well.

I hope this helps other Aspies out there find a job that to me, is the perfect job for Aspies.

Let me know if you write any pages. I'd love to share them on my twitter, facebook accts, etc.

Thanks for the hint, i'm looking for something i can do when i'm retired and that sounds like one could gradually build it up with time.

i wish i weren't so addled so i could write something coherently and longer than a WP post.

It really does build over time. What's great is that it stays there and you continue to make money even after you finish a page...

By the way, it's great also because some write long pages others very short ones. Each person has their own view on wether the short pages do better than the long ones or vice versa...it seems to be split.

Associate programs are good in theory, not so much in practice.

I've had an Amazon account for many years now, and while I get many clicks, I got zero purchases.

Essentially, you need to have a website that attracts thousands of visitors a day to truly make money off it.

I do zazzle. I don't have enough products yet to make a lot of money though. Here's my store.

Squidoo is also a great way to make money if you can be bothered writing.

By the way, I have an Amazon associates account too...have never made a dime with them. However, I have made money, and make a bit of money at least every other day, sometimes every day selling Amazon products through Squidoo! Funny thing is, I even sometimes add my own associate amazon links to squidoo and nobody clicks on them or buys anything...yet, through the actually Amazon modules squidoo has, I do make money very frequently.

I can't tell you why that is, but it is what it is.

I have close to 1K or more products on Zazzle...it is tough to make money, but you do make money once you get to about 1K products...before that, it took a while. My store is a very different market, so I think appealing to a wider group of people might have helped me. I know most products I sell are those that can be used by a wide variety of people vs. products that people born in an island that is only 100x33 miles would buy...
