The internet is an open book for making money online. There are literally thousands of ways to generate cash online. The hard part is knowing what opportunities to get involved with and staying away from the scams.
I can’t possibly go through all the online business opportunities or advise you of the thousands of scams; but I can show you three legitimate ways to start making money online that virtually anyone can do.
These opportunities won’t cost more than a few dollars to get started, they offer minimal risk and you can begin earning income almost right away. Create an Informational blog with Google Adsense
The first and in my opinion, the easiest way to get started is to create blog. There is plenty of free information on how to create a blog that makes money. Getting started ranges from free to no more than about $10 a month if you decide to host your blog yourself.
Start with finding a topic of interest. Look around; find out what topics people are buzzing about. This could be something you have a passion for or it could be something that you just like writing about.
If you happen to pick a topic with heavy competition, try drilling down to a finer niche. For example, a dating blog is a popular topic but a dating blog for widows or widowers would be more focused, attracting a more focused reader. A blog about pets is good but a blog for owners of aging or dying pets has a specific targeted audience. A blog about traveling will draw interest but a blog about traveling on a budget is more focused. I think you get the idea 
Post to your blog at least three times a week. Make posts that contain unique and interesting information that your visitors will want to read. For generating some instant income include some Google Adsense ads with each of your posts. When viewers read your post and click on the ads, you get money and believe me, that adds up over time.
Keeping your blog posts interesting, original and entertaining will be your key to getting the most visitors and plenty of Adsense clicks.

Let me start by saying that everyone has skills, talents and knowledge that others crave to know about. For example if you’re a mom, you know a thing or two about raising kids or if you have ever cared for a loved one who is ill you’ve probably got some helpful advice that others could use. You may also have skills and knowledge in your current job that would benefit others. How about life experiences? We all have them and writing about them can help others, especially with advice. These are all ideas that could help you create an informative guide that you can sell.
I’m not suggesting writing a 300 page e-book that costs as much as a college text book and could take months to write; instead I prefer creating a more comprehensive, easy to read 10-20 page small report or ebookthat sells for less than $20. I don’t know about you but I’d much rather spend $17 on a short, no fluff, full of meat report than a $50 e-book that I might never get through.
In fact here are 6 easy steps to writing an ebook that you can get started on today.
Promoting your report will be the next step in the process and there are plenty of free and cheap internet marketing and promotion strategies at your disposal. With a little creativity and focused effort you could be making consistent sales for something you did only once.
