75+ Sites to Earn Money Online
2
A Brief Note
I made this list a while ago, when I was looking for simple ways to earn some bucks on the side. Simple is never easy, and easy is not simple. This
holds true for anything in life, earning money online included.
In a free economy, it is all about competition and being able to stand out. At the end it is often about the price, unless you are able to convince
your customers that your work is worth to pay more. You’ll see that principle at work on all these websites listed below. Listing them doesn’t
mean I endorse any of these sites or the work they promote in any way.
Some of the sites are very competitive and there is often no guarantee you’ll actually make money. There are always stories of people who earn
significant amounts anywhere and as always they may be true or not (see Propagation of Truth). I myself wrote about earning money on Fiverr,
which doesn’t mean I could reproduce the same results if I did everything the same again. I guess, what I am trying to say is that you should be
conscious about the time and effort you put in. I provide this list as a free resource for you, but I am not a money expert by any means.
Kind regards,
If you have any comments about or suggestions for this document, don’t forget, you can contact me here or via [email protected] at anytime.
