100 WAYS TO MONETIZE YOUR MACHINE

100 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ON THE INTERNET

Lately I find more and more people asking for my help to find a consultancy job so that they can pay the rent. This is a reactionary idea in a progressive time: the jobs they are talking about, no longer exist. And if they do, people do not pay for it. In one conversation yesterday, I accepted the challenge to come up with 100 ways to make money on the internet to pay the rent. Today I present the first 10.

1. Blogging. Write a blog and develop an audience. See that you get in Technorati one of the new verticals Look at these strategies and read my previous post ‘Wow Your Blog’

2. Mobile consulting. There is a new consulting niche: mobile web and a lot of SME’s will soon want to join the bandwagon. Propose to make their website mobile and use Adsense to monetize it . The conversion from web to mobile demo of Mofuse is very promising.

3. Get Paid Per Post. Get paid for blogging (brrr..). I am not promoting it, just reporting it. Everyone is waiting for the new product codenamed Argus.

4. Navizonate. Make money with your iphone wifi access points in the faux GPS Navizon (peer to peer GPS)

5. Wiki journalism. Wikinomics is a secret discipline. Everyone wants to be on Wikipedia, but you cannot write about yourself (not even critically) certainly not now there is a wikiscanner. I would avise becoming a respected editor at Wikipedia and people will ask you for your help in editing sections on themselves or their company (but observe the wikinomics oath of objectivity or they’ll flush you out). As the founder says: the truth is arrived at when it is no longer contested. To have an idea what people find important on Wikipedia look at Wikirage.

6. Investing on the Stock Exchange. Investing in stocks never worked for me, but some people still believe in it. I never made any money doing so, because I do not have the discipline to care about what goes up when and what should go down when. But this guy apparently has.

7. Create your own magazine

8. Publish. Publish your offline book (print on demand). Not that you will make any money on it, but you can use it instead of a business card. Royalties are over.

9. Set up your own Fedex-clone. There is a lot of software, music, movies and digital stuff that has geographical restrictions (States only). You need an address in the states where you can ship such as USAme. You can buy an American telephone number on Skype. An American bank account is very difficult (though services such as these claim it is not. I would recommend a major credit card or Paypal.

10. Freelancing on RAC, Guru, Elance or Pajamanation
