When
a friend told me you can make money online, I took at as a joke and
tried to brush him off. While I have not made any money so far,
thought I can tell you what others are doing to make money.
What
could I do, probably writing, if writing, on what? It is very
important that we write about things which people want to know or
seeking info. Let's say i am taking the first step in that direction.
Most
important principle in trying to make money online, there is no need
to feel shy about it. Yes I have set out to make some money by
writing about things which people want to know/hear about. If we set
out with this approach we are likely to be more successful rather
than trying to beat around the bush and hide behind niceties.
Similarly
if someone wants to develop apps or websites, they have to be clear
about their approach and make their terms clear. In the online
business we cannot afford to have bad mouthing by our
clients/readers.
Having
decided to make money online, it is very much important we establish
our credible presence online. That could mean we telling the world
that we exist. For a writer like me it could be a blog, for a tech
person he needs to announce his presence in a site like Fiverr.
But just being present does not ensure we re noticed, we have to
start making our presence felt. Let's say a writer like me has to
keep writing on subjects of peoples interest and for a tech person,
they need to ensure their presence is noticed by those who visit the
site like Fiverr.
Some
people have really made their presence felt and are reportedly making
lot's of money. Among Indians Amit Agarwal ranks on the top with reported earnings of USD 50000 with his website labnol, Ms Shradha Sharma USD 15000/Month with her website Your
story and this list goes on. When you look at these sites, it
might sound too easy to earn the money, but it has been years of hard
work, through which they have reached this level.
I
have been a regular patron of Your
story and have read many an article from that site. The
interesting way they are presented and the success stories they pick
up and share with us, is really an appreciable effort. Amit Agarwal
of labnol who is a IIT n IIM
alumni writes a blog on tech issues in limited words and useful
manner. Let's realize both of them deal with info, for which people
are looking for. Only when we satisfy the person seeking the info,
can we expect him to be visiting us once again.
While
the reality is there is scope to make money on the net, it is not a
bed of Jasmine and with that realization we have to move forward.
