For Occasional Cash Boosts: Easy Online Tasks Everyone Can Do!
We've previously mentioned several types of simple online tasks you can do—and the services that pay you to do them—to earn some pocket money. These include things like taking surveys (e.g., for Lightspeed Consumer Panel), quick odd jobs (e.g., for Amazon's Mechanical Turk), testing websites (e.g., UserTesting.com), and answering tech support answers (e.g., FixYa).

For most of
these tasks, you have to wait for the right opportunity to arise and
fit specific criteria. They're not recurring jobs, so you can't really
count on this as a major source of income. They could pay off big,
though, if the gig is a good fit for you. For example, participating in Harvard Business School Computer Lab's Experimental Research studies or a 20|20 Panel could earn you over $100 in less than an hour. See our previous guide for more tasks like these.
Mobile Gigs and Online Rewards Programs
You can also earn some beer money with your mobile phone by doing simple gigs while you're out and about. Previously mentioned Gigwalk
is one example, paying from $3 to $90 for tasks, such as mystery
shopping, taking photos of parking lots, testing mobile apps, and so on.
You just need an iPhone or an Android device. If you can't find any
gigs on Gigwalk, there are several other options in this "mobile taskforce" marketplace, such as Field Agent or Easy Shift (both only iPhone only right now).
If you don't mind being paid in rewards like gift cards, you can try previously mentioned CheckPoints or similar Shopkick mobile rewards programs (both on iOS and Android). Bing Rewards is an easy way to get stuff like gift cards and Xbox Live credits. All you have to do is search with Bing.
This post on Reddit's beermoney subreddit
offers a list of rewards programs you can join that require only about 5
to 10 minutes of your time per task. They seem to pay only about a few
bucks or in rewards credits.
Microjobs
Expand
The
"microjobs" marketplace—for short, one-off tasks—is booming now. In
addition to Gigwalk and the mobile gigs above, there are many other microjobs you can do online. Fiverr,
for example, pays you $5 for doing any kind of simple online task that
someone will pay for. You can list your own services or reply to service
requests. I've used Fiverr to get audio files transcribed on the cheap;
you could sell (or outsource) other small jobs such as proofreading a one page document, customizing a Wordpress template, or even impersonating a famous character in a custom video message. Gigbucks and TaskRabbit
(which includes offline jobs as well) are two alternatives where you
can pick up miscellaneous jobs. These microjobs pay from $5 to about $50
and typically take less than an hour to do.
For More Recurring Part-Time Cash: Sell Your Skills or Start a Low-Maintenance Side Business
Microjob
services can net you some pocket money, but they don't tend to offer
regular, recurring deposits into your bank account (although some people
do microjobs as their only source of income). For more regular side
pay, you'll need to get more entrepreneurial.
Freelance from Home
What are
your marketable skills? You can use them to take on home-based work. If
you enjoy writing, for example, you can become a freelance blogger or
writer; typical blogging jobs pay you to post regularly but on your own
schedule. ProBlogger and Freelance Writing Jobs are great resources for writers or would-be ones.
Expand
Find
temporary or recurring project opportunities for all sorts of online
skills (programming, web design, photography, and more) on job boards
like Freelance Switch or freelance marketplaces such as oDesk and Elance.
With the marketplaces, you can set your own rate and reply to
employers' requests for project help. The only issue with these types of
marketplaces is there's a lot of competition, and you can easily be
underbid way beyond what your time is worth. So be careful. But if
you're just starting out, these are good places to look for contract
work.
Make Money Off Your Own Website or Online Store
Expand
It's also possible to make money with your own blog or passive-income-producing website. JetSetCitizen highlights fourteen travel bloggers
and how they generate enough income from their blogs to fund their
travel. Some of these include using affiliate links/ads or offering
information products for sale. You'd need a good amount of traffic
before your blog lets you quit your day job, but if you can offer
something no one else does in a particular niche and are willing to do
some marketing, you have a better chance.
Or if you have a hobby and something worth selling, you could set up your own online store on your website or using a store-building service. If you're crafty, of course there's Etsy.
In short,
there are lots of scam-free ways to make money online—whether it's a
quick buck or more substantial side income. Also keep in mind that once
you earn more than $400 in a year from your freelance endeavors, you'll
have to report the income and pay taxes on it. But it's worth it if your
time isn't otherwise being spent productively. Good luck!

The Ultimate Guide to Publishing Your eBook on Amazon’s Kindle Platform
I have returned from the fiery abyss of writing my first eBook and uploading it on Kindle, and I bring you this message:
It’s not that bad.
But why write and publish an eBook? If you’re an online marketer, entrepreneur, writer, blogger, or maybe a chef, what’s the point? Here’s what I’ve found:
If you follow the seven steps below, you’ll never have to read another article on publishing to Amazon’s Kindle platform ever again.
Let’s get started …
Without a target audience, an eBook is useless.
Without a target audience, you will not see an increase in subscribers, traffic, or any building of trust whatsoever.
Ask yourself:
When Steven Pressfield wrote The War of Art, he wrote to writers and creatives alike.
When John Locke wrote How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months, he wrote to most of the people reading this article right now.
Before you even think about putting a letter on that blank page, stop and ask yourself: Who am I writing to?
That’s why we have blogs and Twitter.
Let me fix that: That’s why you should be publishing to your own blog and using Twitter.
Your blog can benefit you and your eBook in many ways:
Just remember … don’t be a digital sharecropper.
Do you want to know how I started my eBook after I delayed it for a few months? I woke up one morning, opened Pages for Mac, typed the title that I had in mind, and wrote.
That’s what you need to do. Just start.
Whatever time you read this, just know that if you don’t start tomorrow morning (or whenever you are comfortable writing), then you will never write an eBook.
The easiest way to do this is either use Microsoft Word or Pages for Mac. (Kindle suggests you write it in Word because if you decide to format this yourself, you must save your file to a filtered .html or .htm format, which translates on the Kindle very well.)
A few things you will have to keep in mind when writing:
Kindle Tools & Resources
You will see four options: KindleGen, Kindle Previewer, Kindle Plugin for Adobe InDesign, and the Kindle PC/MAC application.
If you haven’t downloaded the app already — and you don’t have InDesign — you will need both KindleGen and Previewer.
KindleGen is a program that will convert your saved file into a format used for the Previewer (.mobi); when you have that file in place, just drag it into the Previewer.
With the Previewer, you get to preview your eBook to ensure it’s formatted to your desire. When on the Previewer, you can go up to the top menu, and click the option to view your eBook on the actual Kindle App (make sure it’s downloaded).
Most people I spoke to about formatting their own eBook said it was tedious, so here are some eBook conversion services to think over if you wish to save yourself the hassle. (I used 52Novels, paid $100 for both Kindle formatting and an ePub format. The price will vary depending on service and the amount of words.)
The final format of the eBook should be a PRC.
If you wish to format it yourself, use Kindle’s Simplified Guide to Formatting Your eBook or Publishing for Mac Users.
All you need to do is upload it, but before you do, you have two ways of uploading:
When you enroll in this program, your eBook is locked in for 90 days. During these 90 days, you have 5 free promotional days to give your eBook out for free. After those 5 free days, your eBook will be back on the market for a price. During this 90-day period, your eBook will be available in the Kindle Owners’ Library.
What is Kindle Owners’ Library?
This option is exclusive to those who are Amazon Prime Members. Borrowing eBooks is only available on Kindle devices, not Kindle reading apps.
Members of Amazon Prime can borrow a eBook for free for a whole month with no due dates. When someone borrows your eBook, you earn money. (Note: Only eBooks enrolled in KDP Select will be available to Kindle Owners’ Library.)
How is it calculated?
For example, if the monthly fund amount is $500,000, the total qualified borrows of all participating KDP titles is 300,000, and if your eBook was borrowed 1,500 times, you will earn 0.5% (1,500/300,000 = 0.5%), or $2,500 for that month.”
If you don’t enroll to KDP Select
You can still upload your eBook to Kindle, but it will not be in the Kindle Owners’ Library.
If you enroll in KDP Select
First, lets get this out of the way: Your eBook cannot be free on Kindle.
(Note: You may have heard or seen a few titles that were free for a long time. Those publishers may have worked with a company that works with Amazon. For example: Seth Godin’s The Domino Project).
It will be available for free for 5 days of your choosing when you enroll in their KDP Select program. Even if you do not enroll, you must have a price tag on it for a minimum of 99 cents.
But there’s more.
If you decide to enroll in the KDP Select program, these are the restrictions Amazon places on your eBook:
If you do enroll, and stay opted-in, your 90 days will renew and you will be given 5 more days of free promotion.
So you have a few things to think over …
Not everyone has a Kindle. That’s true. But the Kindle App is free to download and is available on the following systems:
So is it possible to mix this pervasive and free app into your strategy for marketing your eBook? Possibly.
Watch this simple video to guide you through the process.
After hitting Save & Publish, it will take about 24 hours for it to be on the Kindle store. Within 48-72 hours, the remaining details will be visible on the detail page, such as product description and links related to the physical edition.
Your eBook cover
Your cover is everything. If the cover is gross and lacks a clear message, the readers’ eyes will scroll right over it, and your opportunity may be lost forever.
Think of it as a blog design: you go to a blog and have — in my personal opinion — less than 10 seconds to attract the reader. After that 10 seconds and they still don’t know what you’re about — they’ll X out and be gone forever.
As your personal guide through this process, I highly recommend you hire a designer. As an avid reader of Kindle eBooks, I’d say 85% of the covers out there are garbage — this is an opportunity, it’s your time to shine.
Can I un-publish at any time?
Yes, you may withdraw your eBook at any time, but remember this: Once enrolled in KDP Select, that ”exclusive” rule still applies for 90 days — so even if you un-publish, you will not be able to publish your eBook on any other platform.
Royalties
As the publisher, you determine the price. KDP offers two royalty options: 70% and 35%.
In order to receive 70% royalties for your eBook, you must meet the following criteria:
Do I need an ISBN number?
No.
An ISBN number is not required when publishing through Kindle Direct Publishing; what you will receive is a 10-digit AISN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to your eBook and found on Kindle Amazon.
If you have an ISBN number, you may enter it in the publishing process.
Congratulations, you self-published your eBook; you should be ecstatic.
Just because your eBook is up doesn’t mean the journey ends now — it’s time to write your next eBook. Don’t stop your momentum. Keep it going. Promote your eBook, keep up with your readers and blog, and begin your next project.
Content marketing, self-publishing, eBooks — this is our future.
There really hasn’t been a better time for people who want to spread his or her ideas.
Enjoy, I hope you found this insightful. Let me know about your questions and experiences regarding publishing to Amazon’s Kindle platform in the comments below …
It’s not that bad.
But why write and publish an eBook? If you’re an online marketer, entrepreneur, writer, blogger, or maybe a chef, what’s the point? Here’s what I’ve found:
- It’s time to prove your authority. You have an incredible, life-changing idea? You won’t find a better time for your words to spread like wildfire to inspire and empower, if executed correctly.
- eReaders nearly doubled from December 2011 to January 2012. 1 in 4 Americans are now using some kind of tablet (iPad, Nook, Kindle) that is capable of reading eBooks (The Kindle reading app is also available on nearly every smartphone, more on this below).
- If you already have an established platform — or want to build one — this eBook will fortify all your other online marketing efforts.
If you follow the seven steps below, you’ll never have to read another article on publishing to Amazon’s Kindle platform ever again.
Let’s get started …
Step 1: Define your target audience
This is business and marketing 101, baby.Without a target audience, an eBook is useless.
Without a target audience, you will not see an increase in subscribers, traffic, or any building of trust whatsoever.
Ask yourself:
- Who is my target audience?
- What do they like? Feel?
- What will they learn?
- What am I offering them for their time?
- How can I make this eBook build a relationship with my readers? Is it a character they fall in love with? A story? Are you motivating or inspiring them with ideas and examples? What is the main purpose?
When Steven Pressfield wrote The War of Art, he wrote to writers and creatives alike.
When John Locke wrote How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months, he wrote to most of the people reading this article right now.
Before you even think about putting a letter on that blank page, stop and ask yourself: Who am I writing to?
Step 2: Do you have a platform?
Writers have an obligation to their audience — to respond and listen to their feedback, to build a relationship, to keep them as readers forever. Why would anyone want to miss that opportunity?That’s why we have blogs and Twitter.
Let me fix that: That’s why you should be publishing to your own blog and using Twitter.
Your blog can benefit you and your eBook in many ways:
- Your readers can find you, support you, and give feedback.
- You can build … and build … and build, to the point where you have thousands of subscribers waiting to read your next eBook.
- You can continue the conversation. Say your eBook was motivational and inspiring; you could provide blog posts on that topic and have your readers coming back for more. This can get big … it might even get fun.
- A blog is your portfolio: it has your work, your info, credibility — almost all of you. Coming from someone who used to be on the other side of the fence, it’s really wonderful how reader can now connect with author; it makes the entire experience feel … special.
- Now that your blog has a face and examples of your work, you can meet like-minded individuals; networking is fruitful and the lifeblood of growth.
- Guest posting for other blogs allows more visibility to your eBook, or at least, your blog. From there, your newfound readers may be interested in your writing.
- Your readers can follow you; and you can respond to them.
- Find people with similar passions and interests.
- Hashtags help brand your eBooks; then, when fans click on the hashtag, they will see other people giving feedback about your eBook and that may spark interest.
- Promote your eBook amidst sending relevant, valuable tweets.
Just remember … don’t be a digital sharecropper.
Step 3: Write your eBook
You have your target audience in mind, and you have a blog and/or social media platform of some kind. Good.Do you want to know how I started my eBook after I delayed it for a few months? I woke up one morning, opened Pages for Mac, typed the title that I had in mind, and wrote.
That’s what you need to do. Just start.
Whatever time you read this, just know that if you don’t start tomorrow morning (or whenever you are comfortable writing), then you will never write an eBook.
The easiest way to do this is either use Microsoft Word or Pages for Mac. (Kindle suggests you write it in Word because if you decide to format this yourself, you must save your file to a filtered .html or .htm format, which translates on the Kindle very well.)
A few things you will have to keep in mind when writing:
- Create a Table of Contents (TOC).
- Insert a page break when you’re finished with your chapter to eliminate unnecessary white space so your reader can immediately scroll to the next page. Finished with your TOC? Page break. Finished with your copyright page? Page break. (To insert a page break go to “Insert” at the top menu bar, then find “Page Break”).
- Do not use headers, footers, or any sexy font because it will not translate on the Kindle; they have standard fonts.
- Bold, italicize, and headings translate well.
- Images are allowed and should be inserted as .JPGs (more on formatting your eBook below).
Step 4: Tools to download before formatting
You will need to download a few things to preview and format your eBook.Kindle Tools & Resources
You will see four options: KindleGen, Kindle Previewer, Kindle Plugin for Adobe InDesign, and the Kindle PC/MAC application.
If you haven’t downloaded the app already — and you don’t have InDesign — you will need both KindleGen and Previewer.
KindleGen is a program that will convert your saved file into a format used for the Previewer (.mobi); when you have that file in place, just drag it into the Previewer.
With the Previewer, you get to preview your eBook to ensure it’s formatted to your desire. When on the Previewer, you can go up to the top menu, and click the option to view your eBook on the actual Kindle App (make sure it’s downloaded).
Step 5: Formatting your eBook
You have two ways to format:- Do it yourself
- Pay someone to do it
Most people I spoke to about formatting their own eBook said it was tedious, so here are some eBook conversion services to think over if you wish to save yourself the hassle. (I used 52Novels, paid $100 for both Kindle formatting and an ePub format. The price will vary depending on service and the amount of words.)
The final format of the eBook should be a PRC.
If you wish to format it yourself, use Kindle’s Simplified Guide to Formatting Your eBook or Publishing for Mac Users.
Step 6: Before you upload, think this over
By this step, you should have your eBook finished, formatted, and ready to go.All you need to do is upload it, but before you do, you have two ways of uploading:
- Go the KDP Select route
- Or don’t
When you enroll in this program, your eBook is locked in for 90 days. During these 90 days, you have 5 free promotional days to give your eBook out for free. After those 5 free days, your eBook will be back on the market for a price. During this 90-day period, your eBook will be available in the Kindle Owners’ Library.
What is Kindle Owners’ Library?
This option is exclusive to those who are Amazon Prime Members. Borrowing eBooks is only available on Kindle devices, not Kindle reading apps.
Members of Amazon Prime can borrow a eBook for free for a whole month with no due dates. When someone borrows your eBook, you earn money. (Note: Only eBooks enrolled in KDP Select will be available to Kindle Owners’ Library.)

It will be available for free for 5 days of your choosing when you enroll in their KDP Select program. Even if you do not enroll, you must have a price tag on it for a minimum of 99 cents.
But there’s more.
If you decide to enroll in the KDP Select program, these are the restrictions Amazon places on your eBook:
- It cannot be on your blog as a subscription or email newsletter opt-in bonus
- No iBooks
- No Nook
- No PDF version with your specific formatting and sexy fonts
- It cannot be distributed anywhere else for 90 days. Keyword: Exclusive.
If you do enroll, and stay opted-in, your 90 days will renew and you will be given 5 more days of free promotion.
So you have a few things to think over …
Not everyone has a Kindle. That’s true. But the Kindle App is free to download and is available on the following systems:
- Windows PC
- Mac
- iPhone
- iPad
- Blackberry
- Android
- Windows 7 Phones
So is it possible to mix this pervasive and free app into your strategy for marketing your eBook? Possibly.
Step 7: Upload your eBook
You made your choice. You have your eBook. It’s time to upload.Watch this simple video to guide you through the process.
After hitting Save & Publish, it will take about 24 hours for it to be on the Kindle store. Within 48-72 hours, the remaining details will be visible on the detail page, such as product description and links related to the physical edition.

In order to receive 70% royalties for your eBook, you must meet the following criteria:
- The price of your eBook must be between $2.99 and $9.99.
- This list price must be at least 20 percent below the lowest physical list price for the physical book.
Do I need an ISBN number?
No.
An ISBN number is not required when publishing through Kindle Direct Publishing; what you will receive is a 10-digit AISN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to your eBook and found on Kindle Amazon.
If you have an ISBN number, you may enter it in the publishing process.
Congratulations, you’re finished!
You defined your target audience and have an idea of how to market it. You wrote the eBook, formatted, and uploaded. You have a great cover, detailed product description of what your eBook is about, and now it’s on the market.Congratulations, you self-published your eBook; you should be ecstatic.
Just because your eBook is up doesn’t mean the journey ends now — it’s time to write your next eBook. Don’t stop your momentum. Keep it going. Promote your eBook, keep up with your readers and blog, and begin your next project.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY BY SELLING KINDLES ON AMAZON.COM
What is Kindle?
The Amazon Kindle is a series of e-book readers designed and marketed by Amazon.com. Amazon Kindle devices enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and other digital media via wireless networking.[2] The hardware platform, developed by Amazon.com subsidiary Lab126, began as a single device and now comprises a range of devices, including dedicated e-readers with E Ink electronic paper displays, and Android-based tablets with color LCD screens.
The third-party marketplace for almost new and used Kindles gives
customers increased selection and choice for purchasing a Kindle.
Sellers can list used Amazon Kindle devices for sale to Amazon.com's
tens of millions of customers.
Listings for Amazon Kindle devices should be matched against existing detail pages. To create a listing quickly, use the "Sell yours here" button on the following detail pages:
To deregister your device using the Kindle menu:
The packing slip provided by Amazon.com will include instructions for buyers to register their Amazon Kindle. Additional documentation is provided in our Kindle Support pages.
To remove content from Kindle, follow these steps:
Please include the Order Packing Slip from the Manage Orders page with your Kindle, even if you are also including a personalized slip from your business. The packing slip includes important legal licensing information and instructions to the buyer for registering their device; it is available in Manage Orders by clicking on Print Order Packing Slip.

- Press the Home key to make sure you are on the Home screen.
- Scroll to Menu and press the select wheel.
- Select "Settings" from the menu.
- Scroll to the Account Name section and select "Deregister."

Promotions and Specials. You’ve got your engaged

followers, and finding unique ways to highlight your brand using
hashtags and catch phrases.
Companies like Moonfruit and MTV have run Twitter promotions with great prizes like MacBook Pros, or using game mechanics to increase participation. But you don’t need fancy prizes—you could offer discounts on your own products or services, or get creative! Recognition and reward can go a long way.

Learn How to Make Money Using Facebook
How to Make Money Using Facebook
Edited by DatB, Starkirby64, KaitlinG, Flickety and 35 others
Facebook isn't a secret money pile just waiting to be found, but it
can be a reliable source of extra income with some work and a clever
approach. Read the steps below to learn how to make money using
Facebook.
Ad
Method 1 of 3: The Basics
-
1Make great posts. The foundation of any successful plan to make money with social media is good content, and lots of it. On Facebook, that means a stream of interesting links, images, and updates every day.
- Search for a niche and fill it with quality content. It doesn't have to be a niche nobody else is filling, but it should be specific enough that it's clear to the casual observer. For example, maybe you'll post content for cat lovers, mothers, or people with a certain political affiliation. If you plan to market a product with your account, be sure to link the product to your posts in some way.
- Consider opening up another Facebook account and keeping it separate from your personal account. Use this account for your posts, and link them on your personal Facebook account to let people know about them. Depending on the approaches you use, you might even consider using multiple extra accounts.
- Give it time. Let your account build up interest over time by continuing to provide fresh and relevant content every day.
Ad -
2Make a commitment to earn. The only way to reliably make money using Facebook is through persistent work. Like any job, setting a schedule and sticking to it is the key.
- Organize. Whatever strategy you plan to pursue, you'll probably have to take care of several things every day to make it work for you. Plan out the order and times you'll do them in advance.
- Saturate your market. Making money with Facebook is more of a numbers game than anything else. Since marketing on Facebook costs nothing except time, you can market as much as you want – even to a point that would be prohibitively expensive any other way – and let the percentages and statistics work their magic one penny at a time.
- Add aggressively. One of the best ways to increase the number of people looking at your page is to simply add people as friends as often as you can. Most won't accept, but some will.
Method 2 of 3: Making Money Through Affiliate Advertising
-
1Find an affiliate program. Affiliate programs provide you with a unique ID and marketing materials, and then pay you a commission based on how much business you generate.
- Most websites you've heard of offer such a program. Since there's no cost to the site for letting you do this, practically anybody can become an affiliate for as many sites as they want.
- Start with well-known brands. Amazon offers a competitive affiliate program that pays a percentage of any purchase a person makes after clicking through from your post, even if it's not anything you advertised. Apple's iTunes program has an affiliate program as well.
- Add in smaller programs. Though less likely to generate money on a given day, you can diversify and gradually increase your affiliate revenue by offering a wide range of advertising services to many different businesses.
-
2Sign up. Once you've decided to market a company as an affiliate, search the company's site and fill out the required forms. This should always be free, and usually only takes a few minutes.
- Don't ever pay to become an affiliate.
-
3Add accounts. Make a Facebook account for each affiliate program or group of programs you sign up for. This allows people to follow your pages based on the things they're interested in, rather than having to sign up for one page full of all different kinds of ads.
- As mentioned previously, you can use your primary account to repost things from the other accounts periodically, exposing those pages to the audience you've built.
-
4Promote your programs. Make posts for each of them daily, and maintain your accounts fastidiously. With luck, and a good central account with a lot of followers, your affiliate accounts will begin to get followers as well. Whenever anyone clicks your posts and buys something from one of your affiliates, you earn money.
Method 3 of 3: Making Money With an E-book
-
1Write an e-book. E-books are just book-format publications that are distributed electronically, rather than printed on paper. Because there's basically no cost to publish an e-book, pretty much anybody with an idea can do it.
- Take it easy on yourself. Unlike a paper-and-ink book, your e-book doesn't have to be any particular number of pages. In fact, most e-books that are written to generate income are more like e-pamphlets than whole books.
- Choose a subject that will generate interest. Nonfiction is almost always a better choice than fiction. Oddly enough, e-books that tell people how to make money selling e-books are a popular option, and they apparently sell enough to at least offset the trouble of writing them.
- Write in an area where you can claim some kind of authority. It'll add cachet to your book. You don't need to show credentials, but you should write about something you're better at than the average Joe.
-
2Pick a publishing option. There are a few free ways to get your e-book published.
- The most basic option is to save the book as a PDF file, and lock it with a password that you send to people who buy your book. Once the password is out there, anyone with the password can open the book.
- Createspace is an Amazon.com service that allows you to publish e-books for free on the Amazon website. It offers better usage protection than the PDF method, but can't be directly distributed from anywhere other than Amazon's website. Createspace also has a number of paid services and options available. To maximize your Facebook profit, avoid using them.
- ReaderWorks is a program that easily formats and published e-books in Microsoft Reader format, one of the most common e-book formats on the web. The Basic version of the program doesn't offer any security, but it's free and easy to learn. There's a paid version of ReaderWorks that adds digital rights management (DRM) protection. Only opt in for the paid version if you're going to be making a lot of books with it.
-
3Get your e-book online. Createspace will post your book automatically. If you published it on your own computer, you can sell it a few different ways:
- Amazon will let you upload and sell your e-book as a Kindle book for
free. (Kindle is the brand name of Amazon's popular e-reader product
line.) This option is called Kindle Direct Publishing, or KDP.
- On the plus side, KDP is fast and very flexible. You can publish your book in about 5 minutes, and set sale royalties for yourself as high as 70% (with Amazon taking the other 30%).
- On the other hand, KDP does not publish your book for download outside of the Kindle marketplace. Readers who don't use Kindle won't be able to browse and purchase your book.
-
eBay
will let you list items for sale at a set price. By offering a stock of
“copies” of your e-book available for purchase on eBay, you can turn
the venerable auction site into a de facto bookselling hub.
- The advantage of eBay is its simplicity. Anyone with access to the site can potentially purchase a copy of your book – no special gadgets or software required.
- The downside is the cost. eBay sets fees for just about everything; they only get worse when you set a fixed price point for purchases. Some of the fees are percentages, but others are flat, which can really bite into your profit margin if you're not careful.
- Amazon will let you upload and sell your e-book as a Kindle book for
free. (Kindle is the brand name of Amazon's popular e-reader product
line.) This option is called Kindle Direct Publishing, or KDP.
-
4Sell your e-book on Facebook. If you were wise and wrote a book that caters to the audience you've been building up with your primary account, you've got a receptive, ready-made audience for your sales pitch.
- Advertise it several times a day, both blatantly and at the end of other posts. Be creative and try to engage your readers. Get them excited about reading your book.
- If you have other accounts (such as affiliate accounts), advertise your book there, too.
- Always provide a link for readers to click to visit the page where they can purchase your book.
Ad
Tips
- There is a huge demand of social media marketing. If someone is expert on social media, he/she can easily make money out of it.
- There's no substitute for working hard. If you take time to cultivate and maintain a readership, the rest will take care of itself; on the other hand, if you just make a bunch of affiliate pages and sit back to wait for the money to roll in, you'll never succeed.
- E-books aren't the only thing you can sell to your fans, they're just one of the most likely things. Be creative and think about what else you might be able to make for little or no money that you could advertise to your readers.

7 Ways to Make Money From Blogging
Since I’ve started blogging, I have had more than a few people ask me how they too can make money from blogging.
It’s easy to look at people who have risen to fame and prominence by building a high-profile, money-making blog and think “Hey, I can do that, too.”
You might not become the next Perez Hilton or Dooce, but if you play your cards right, you can start to pull in an income from your blog.
Whether the income is enough to allow you to quit a full-time job depends on a number of different factors. No matter how much you end up making, creating a blog that you find exciting is one of the fun ways to make money online.
There are a few different ways you can make money from blogging. I recommend using a combination of income-generating methods.
Some techniques might work for one type of blog, but not another, so it’s a good idea to try several to see what generates the most revenue for you.
AdSense
When it comes to putting advertisements on your blog to generate income, Google’s AdSense is often the top pick for bloggers. It’s simple to use and doesn’t require you to have a great amount of technical know-how.To put an AdSense ad on your blog, you pretty much just have to copy and paste the code.
It’s also one of the biggest advertising networks available, so you’ll have a wide range of advertisers to work with. That also means that you can make money from it even if your blog falls into a pretty obscure niche.
Amazon Associates
The Amazon Associates program allows you to earn a portion of sales when people click-through from your blog to Amazon.com and make a purchase.You only earn money when people buy something from the web giant and the amount you earn varies based on what people order and how many people purchase through your links.
The Associates program works best for people whose blog focuses on products and shopping in someway. You’ll earn more money if people are in a shopping mood when they visit your site.
Other Affiliate Programs
While Amazon’s affiliate marketing program might be one of the biggest out there, it’s definitely not the only one available.Depending the topic of your blog and the amount of traffic you get, you can participate in any number of other marketing programs. Some marketing programs only want blogs that have a high traffic volume, so you might have to wait and build your audience before signing up.
As your blog grows, fun ways to make money online can include reaching out to small companies whose products you trust and use to see if they would like to set up an affiliate marketing program with you.
You would post a link to their product on your blog and if someone clicks through your blog to their site and orders it, you would get a portion of the sale.
Private Sponsorships
As your blog becomes more established, you can start to find ways to make more money through private ad sales and sponsorships.Unlike AdSense ads, private ads don’t just come to you. You’ll have to go out and find them, much like the advertising staff of a magazine approaches companies about placing ads in their pages.
To sell private ads, you’ll need to convince the company that your blog has a sufficient amount of traffic. You’ll also need to show the company that your blog’s topic is a good fit for whatever service or product they offer.
E-Books
When you blog, you provide people with information for free. One way to expand on the information you give people and make money doing it is to write an e-book and sell it on your blog.Ideally, your e-book will connect with the content on your blog and expand on it in some way. People won’t want to pay money for content you’ve previously given away.
For example, if you have a cooking blog, your e-book could be a short cookbook featuring previously unpublished recipes.
The recipes could have been tested by a group of people before publishing and not available anywhere else.
Personal Appearances and Speaking Fees
If your blog really becomes popular, you might be able to expand your income opportunities beyond the web and into the real world.Some bloggers get paid to appear at conferences or to give readings to the public.
You might not get paid to give a speech at first, but as your blog becomes more well-known and respected, organizations might offer you some money to say a few words.
Offer Exclusivity
Once your blog has an established readership, you can expand your income-generating opportunities further by offering memberships to your website.People can pay a yearly or monthly amount to gain access to exclusive content on your blog, to participate in forums, or to receive a monthly newsletter from you.
Starting a members-only portion of your blog lets your readers feel special while it makes you some extra money.
The most important thing to remember when starting your blog is that you won’t become a millionaire overnight. Many bloggers are excited to bring in just a few dollars a month.
It takes a considerable amount of focus and dedication to your blog to turn into a project that generates a significant amount of income.
