Learn to program or web design.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Google founder on HTML : I dont do HTML.

Facebook guy at business school using wget.

Point Im trying to make is : web design on its own is a table with just 2 legs. Gotta have a support skill alongside.

[–]coiso 9 points10 points ago

Porn.

[–]AlexCN98[S] 8 points9 points ago

Dont think so,im fat

[–]edgyeduardo 19 points20 points ago

Draw Hentai?

[–]AlexCN98[S] 1 point2 points ago

i cant draw right,and my "nasty imagination" isnt good :/

[–]lastdeadmouse 11 points12 points ago

If the internet has taught me anything in my 31 years, it's that there is a market for ANY type of porn. Fat has a BIG market.

[–]KenMixtape 7 points8 points ago

gay chubby porn A+

[–]Honeybeard 3 points4 points ago

YES!

[–]amightyThrowaway 6 points7 points ago

It's so cute to see an innocent internet dweller, unaware of the awesomeness / horrors of internet pornography.

(Fat people do porn too)

[–]cuye 1 point2 points ago

fat is not an excuse, there is someone somewhere that is turned on by fat people fucking (also, rule 34)

[–]squimblish 1 point2 points ago

So hurry up, I'l give you 10% of what I made today.

Spoiler alert: I'm unemployed, but ate too much last night.

[–]red_skies 0 points1 point ago

That could still work

[–]LimbOfKings 0 points1 point ago

With the advent of tubes, getting into the adult market has become a lot less profitable than it ever has been before and unless you are willing to work a lot harder than you would in a mainstream job, you are not going to make any money at all in porn these days. I know you were joking, but it has to be said.

[–]Trebis 17 points18 points ago

Create a blog or website on a niche topic with consistent quality content, and some damn good SEO. Then monetize your traffic with adsense, affiliate links, whatever. If you can do this successfully you can outsource almost all aspects of upkeep on the website and earn a nice passive income.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

the boat youre describing has long since sailed.

[–]zimm0r 14 points15 points ago

Write a book about how to make money on the internet, throw together some sales copy on a landing page, and then sell it online.

[–]AlexCN98[S] 3 points4 points ago

haha it is what they most do

[–]Facewizard 22 points23 points ago

first you have to learn to wwebsite as on the internet

[–]Xeeke 8 points9 points ago

This is not easy. Take it from me. I have been studying how to "wwebsite as on the internet" for 7 years now.

[–]skcin7 -1 points0 points ago

I've been studying it for 4 years and I also am just sorta kinda starting to put all the pieces together. From database administration to MySQL to PHP to JavaScript to HTML to CSS to general web design techniques, it is a lot of information to take in but certainly doable.

[–]Pomnom 4 points5 points ago

FYI, in case you didn't realize, it's one of those meme.

[–]seabucksrule 8 points9 points ago

There's a subreddit just for you! /r/beermoney

The site I use the most is SwagBucks, and /r/beermoney loves them. Just got a $25 Amazon gift card the other day. Here's my referral link, and here's a non-referral link.

[–]AlexCN98[S] 4 points5 points ago

i will use your referral link because you are awesome!

[–]seabucksrule 1 point2 points ago

Also, this thread proved very helpful to me in getting SwagBucks from regular google searching.

[–]Deaume 3 points4 points ago

"I'm sorry, registrations are currently not open for residents of Quebec."

[–]soar 2 points3 points ago

Hello fellow Quebecois!

[–]seabucksrule 2 points3 points ago

I had no idea, that's unfortunate.

[–]boneseh 1 point2 points ago

How long did it take you to get the $25 amazon gift card?

[–]seabucksrule 5 points6 points ago

From doing only searches (using the method in the thread I linked earlier), at work and at home, maybe occasionally doing a poll or survey, about two and a half weeks.

Oh, kind redditors, I would really appreciate if you used my referral code, 5235, when registering to this site. At least some of you. You know what, let's just do a referral chain here - register with this code and post your own referral code in a comment, alrighty? Thanks.

[–]andrew_t_190 1 point2 points ago

me too actually 5212

[–]Underyx 2 points3 points ago

Okay, start with him, and feel free to skip my code entirely.

[–]andrew_t_190 1 point2 points ago

way too generous!

[–]sicengel663 0 points1 point ago

What does it consist of

[–]lucasvb 7 points8 points ago

Create a successful startup or website. Everything else is a scam.

[–]Klayy 14 points15 points ago

TIL freelancers are scammers

[–]lineguy 8 points9 points ago

Being a person who's made money online doing a large number of things (before I settled on something) I can tell you that you are dead wrong and have no idea what you are talking about.

[–]lucasvb 15 points16 points ago

Well, please, go ahead and enlighten the OP with your legit money making schemes then.

[–]lineguy -4 points-3 points ago

Do you think because you don't know how to do it that it can't be done?

If I talked about how I do it here, I would just be accused of trying to recruit people into it. I'm not going to do that.

There are ways you can make money online, without having your own website, your own business, or much else.

I know TEENAGERS who make $xxx per day doing this, all without their own website. You can make $xx on your very first day without any particular skills other than being able to find websites and type.

If you DO have a skill, then you can easily find a place to get paid for it. There are lots of websites full of jobs for writing, graphics design, building websites, programming, and so on. You can get a job on your first day, and no I'm not talking about fiverr.

Hell, you can even turn these smaller gigs into a full time job if you wanted. I've seen it happen many times.

...You realize you're in /r/IWantToLearn, right? In a thread asking how to make money on the internet?

The entire point is to share how to do it.

[–]AlexCN98[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yes,please,recruit me into making money!

[–]Slothnamedshotgun 3 points4 points ago

Go through Leapforce it pays 13.50 an hour and is completely legit. its my only source of income and Im doing alright. Its not a get rich quick thing its just a job. Google it.

[–]GregOttawa 0 points1 point ago

Does this work in Canada?

[–]Slothnamedshotgun 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure... I know they hire people that speak different languages for different countries. I'd venture to guess if you can do it in Mexico or Japan you can do it in Canada, but I can't be sure.

[–]iyn 0 points1 point ago

What was your experience with the initial testing? Do you only get paid monthly?

[–]Slothnamedshotgun 0 points1 point ago

Yeah you get paid once a month and it's by direct deposit so it's not too terribly bad of a wait. The testing is not so bad if you actually read the guidelines they provide. I've had friends try to blast through it without studying and failed.

[–]Not0K 0 points1 point ago

Can you write?

[–]AlexCN98[S] 0 points1 point ago

kind of,im not a native english speaker,but im learning

[–]GregOttawa 1 point2 points ago

Have you considered scams?

[–]AlexCN98[S] 0 points1 point ago

no,im not into taking money away to people unless they sell stolen goods

[–]aeschenbach 1 point2 points ago

tiny classified ads

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Live in the 90's? In all seriousness Mechanical Turk can earn you a small amount.

[–]cgfromtexas -1 points0 points ago

According to Zap.com the most effective way to make a small fortune on the internet is to start with a large fortune.

[–]AlexCN98[S] 0 points1 point ago

no can do :(

[–]CrackerDown -1 points0 points ago

I also WTL this same thing.

[–]robot_ninja_hooker -5 points-4 points ago

consider investing in Tim Ferris' Four Hour Workweek. Some of his ideas for money-making are a bit scammy, but he also has a lot of good ideas on self-development and testing marketability of ideas in general. Worth the read, despite the fact that some of his stuff is understandably criticized.

Also check our Ramit Sethi's [iwillteachyoutoberich.com](www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com). He started out as a personal finance blog, spent some time on frugality advice (google "Scrooge Strategy"), and has offered a course called "Earn 1k on the side." This course may be right up your alley, but be warned ahead of time that it's not cheap. The justification is that it's worth the investment in yourself. (I think E1kotS is not being actively offered at the moment, but I believe you can pay for the course materials and use them on your own time---not sure).

Ramit has a lot of haters who accuse him of charging too much, but it's by design---his philosophy is that if you don't see the value of investing in yourself, you won't benefit from his courses anyways. So, take it or leave it. Good luck! :-)

[–]robot_ninja_hooker 1 point2 points ago

I wasn't aware of any of his courses/programs/whatever. His book has some solid advice, however. As with anything, take what is good and leave the rest.

Evidently nobody who downvoted takes IWTYTBR or 4HWW seriously... but they both have some valuable insights to offer. They also offer a lot of good stuff for free. Ah well. :-)

[–]HPDerpcraft 1 point2 points ago

His books actually don't, and he offers terrible medical advice. He's a shyster.

[–]HPDerpcraft 1 point2 points ago

He's a shyster.

[–]crackanape 7 points8 points ago

Ramit has a lot of haters who accuse him of charging too much, but it's by design---his philosophy is that if you don't see the value of investing in yourself, you won't benefit from his courses anyways.

This is hilarious.

[–]OffInBed 0 points1 point ago

Yea..not sure if robot_ninja_hooker realized what he said. .

[–]HPDerpcraft 1 point2 points ago

Everything about tim ferris is a scam.
