Easy Ways to Make Money Online



Short on cash? With however much time you have in your day, try one or a few of these easy ways to make money. Some of these can even turn into a full time job if you’re successful.


·     Sell stuff on eBay and other similar websites. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. There is no cost for putting a product up for sale, but the reward is more than you had. Put a product up for bid or for fast sale to earn a quick buck.

·     Blogging can certainly earn a few extra. Put some classifieds on your blog, as hosting ads on your blog or blogging website can surprisingly earn you a decent wage.

·     Moderate forums on any topic you choose. Company and creators of forums don’t have time to troll their site and delete the inappropriate comments and will usually pay someone else to do it for them. And the good news for you is there will always be a forum that needs moderating.

·     Researchers are always in need of subjects and often put their surveys up online for people to take. Find the ones that have enough support to pay the participants and take 10 or 15 minutes to fill out a survey.

·     Sharing files and photos. You’ll be surprised what files or photos people are looking for. Put your files up for sale online and share some photos. The more websites you put them up on, the better the return.

·     Become a writer, either freelance or for an online magazine. Ever wonder who writes the articles you read online? Many websites hire freelance writers and magazines and newspapers hire offsite writers in a similar fashion. Contact some website agencies, magazines and newspapers to see if they need extra writers. Also websites responsible for answering questions like eHow and Yahoo!Answers pay people to answer questions.

·     Create websites for smaller, local businesses who have yet to make a presence online. Smaller businesses may not have the space or money to hire full time but sometimes can offer some money for someone to create a simple website.

·     Interview someone and sell it. Companies often look for interesting pieces to put into publication but seldom have the time to interview people. Look to local newspapers and magazines to publish interviews about neighbours who are doing something interesting.

·     Online translation is a great way to earn some money for those of you who are bilingual. International websites and companies always need excerpts and documents translated, so offer your services online if you are lucky enough to speak more than one language.


These ideas are simple and fast ways to earn a little extra during the tighter months. Try a few, and you might discover how to maximize your monthly income on a regular basis.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Spill the Tea: When an online relationship feels more real

Anaya’s online relationship feels intense, intimate, and real — until she meets him in person. At a roadside tea stall, she admits she prefers digital intimacy to real-world vulnerability. This Spill the Tea story explores online friendships, emotional loneliness, and the quiet cost of choosing a screen over a life. Anaya rang the bell without calling first. When I opened the door, she was already stepping in, as if the decision had been made long before.  I asked her to sit. She chose the edge of the sofa, not leaning back. I went to the kitchen and opened the cupboards, scanning for something to put in front of her. I found a bar of chocolate. I broke it into uneven pieces and placed them on a small plate. She took one. The foil crackled in the quiet room.  “I’ll make tea,” I said. She looked at the plate and then at me. “No,” she said. “Don’t make it here.” I thought she meant she didn’t want tea. She shook her head. “Let’s go out. Tapri chai .” She said it lightly, ...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
