please tell me tips for earning money with small investment.............................???????????

[FouGilang]

Well you can try to scam some foolish people out there, it is said that scam is one of today's business of the year... lol no, i'm just joking. Well i've heard a way that combining other paid to stuff like combining linkbucks, uploading, image share, et ce te ra. I have never tried because indonesia was never on the list anyway, but there might be some way to say that they are low investment, but trust me, they need hell lot of work to do.

Most of these 'small investment' way needed what it called 'referral' so even in spite of your hard work, you'll still gain nothing if you don't have those named 'referral'. Of course, referral links are forbidden here so never think about promoting your link here or else you'll get owned.

Another simple way is to make a for-adsense-sites/blogs. Again, i've never tried it. It just shame from my point of view if you created some useless websites just for making some bucks.

Just get a real job out there. You almost don't need any investment for that

One thing people tend to forget is that if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. If it was that simple to earn money online, don't you think we'd have thousands of millionaires in one city (not talking about Bel Air )?

There are ways to make money with small investments, but none of them are sure. You can, for one, invest in stocks. Would you like to? I don't think so, since there is a jungle out there (we might deny it, but the market isn't quite stable just yet) right now.

You could click commercials all day long and earn a few bucks that way, but do you really want to spend time on that?

The third way is the most complicated, because it involves your time and brains in one. Do you have an interest you'd like to write about? Something you know? That is appreciated. You could sign up for some affiliate programs, AdSense, bunch of other advertising sites that give you money per click (so-called PPC or Pay Per Click) and earn your money working.

Again, if it were easy - everyone would be doing it. You must learn that nobody gives things away just for free - if they don't see an advantage in doing so, they wouldn't do it.

Hi!

As an individual, there is only so much that you can do. Freelancing is a great way to live life on your own terms, though you might run into a dry period when you have lots of time and you do not really have much to do to utilize your time, but when you work alone, you can only do so much. My point is that if you do want to rake in large profits, you have got to form an organization. You could have a human resources consultancy where all you do is interview people and send them to organizations that do need them - you would have to pay for individuals to interview the job applicants and would be earning your revenue from the organizations, often as a percentage of the job applicant's offered salary.

Setting up an organization also has the advantages of achieving economy of scale and economy of scope. Economies of scale are the cost savings that an organization achieves from manufacturing a product or providing a service on a massive scale. An organization that build specialty cars and custom-builds each of the cars will have to charge much more to make the same profit per car as an organization that engages in mass production and builds ever car in exactly the same manner. When engaging in activities that involve purchasing from a supplier, it is possible to get discounts on bulk purchases, such as the kind that you get at the stores when you purchase two items and get a third one for free. You can also get preferential fulfillment of orders if you are a bulk customer because the supplier would want to make every effort to retain you and to keep you from going to one of their suppliers - taking your business elsewhere would mean a pretty huge loss of sales for them, if you are a major customer. Economies of scope is the cost saving that results from being able to utilize your organization's assets to the maximum possible extent. For example, if you have a car that you want to utilize for your business, you drive it from home to work and from home to work, plus some driving around in the evenings to run errands and for going out shopping with the family or out to see a movie with friends, you still have a period when the car is left in the parking lot either because you are in the office and have a job that does not involve travel or are back from home and have a business that shuts down for the night. If you were to save on the cost of insurance of the vehicle, which is paid on an yearly basis, by using the vehicle for the transportation of night workers and for having other employees in the organization use the car while you are in office, you achieve economy of scope by reducing the idle time that your assets have within the organization. By having a human resources officer within your organization manage resources for multiple geographical locations within the organization, you are achieving economies of scope by utilizing the transaction cost to achieve the maximum benefit.

As an organization, you would also have the added benefit of having specialized workers that perform a particular task extremely well. They would be able to provide you with greater inputs on how a particular process can be made more efficient and they would be more knowledgeable about the role that they perform within the organization.

Online businesses deal with their customers online and usually provide services online, but you do have to maintain physical resources to be able to run the business. For example, you do need to get individuals to maintain the website, you would need individuals to help broker the deals that you provide to your customers, and if you are manufacturing goods that you sell over the Internet, you need to be able to set up a manufacturing plant or at least a small scale manufacturing division within the organization that can produce the goods as quickly as you are able to sell them.

In terms of customer perceptions, the stability of an organization exceeds that of an individual and therefore you would come across as more credible and would give the customer the impression that there is somebody that he or she can rely on and will not disappear overnight in the face of a crisis.

So, anyway, the point is that you either need to pool together your investment with like-minded individuals and form an organization or you might not really manage to "earn quick money."

If somebody knows a nice way to earn money it is very unlikely that this person will share the idea this person has in this forum.

Why not?

I know a way to make money. But then again, it requires effort to make it so I don't suppose that's what people (referring to a "metaphorical someone" who usually asks these kind of questions) want to hear. If they want to make it playing games or watching TV, all are welcome to give it a shot. But when people start making money in one of these ways, they usually aren't satisfied with monetary rewards.

She's got point though.

If there is any money making scheme or strategy used too much by sharing then it becomes less effective later. For example person who used niche blogging technique first likely to earn more than others. Once he started to share his secrets and other people emulating him or other similar tactics then chances of devaluing the method is more plus people get used to it and it becomes less effective. This is the case especially when you're selling some items with that niche blog. You have to experience this on your own that business tactics if overused becomes useless so people less share those online or even with other people.

CSS tricks' Chris Coyier had a post published recently on "blogs that copy your site's content." In other words, other guys publishing word-to-word what you've written. The conclusion(s) he's come to are:

1. YOU have published that content first, therefore YOU first have access to it.
2. YOUR blog has more credibility. Because it does not steal content from others.
3. Incoming links from these sites will do a few things to improve your Google Page Rank.

While not all are directly related to this "money-make-quick" stuff, points 1 and 2 still stand. The guy who first started making money blogging probably still does so, and he makes the most because he's (1) been there longest, (2) knows best from his own experience, (3) teaching others HOW to blog. This basically means that a lot of "fresh" bloggers will already be using his knowledge on their blogs, which gives him respect (karma or something, call it whatever you want) WITHIN the community.

I remember someone once asked a question like "If you share tips on your [industry/work/something-like], won't that leave less work for you?" (in the sense of people rather doing their own thing then hiring you to do it for them).

The short answer is: no, it won't. People who seek for advice on your industry are most likely not interested in buying your services. They just want to learn. On the other hand, someone looking for (say) professional body copy written is more likely to hire you if he sees you know what you're doing (via the advices you share, etc.) than if he just reads about you. He was never interested in learning HOW to write in the first place.


(P.S. I have a rather chaotic way of thinking, as you see, and you perhaps won't understand some of the stuff I tried to say. Apologies for that in advance. I tried to separate my thoughts using a horizontal rule there, but it doesn't seem to work. Shout if you'd like for me to explain some of this.)

Yes please. Explain it all if you wish.

Yes please. Explain it all if you wish. And most of all explain the meaning of the line in the middle of the post please.
