21 Online Businesses To Do: by Nobody: 11:15am On Jul 01, 2008
INTERNET BUSINESSES YOU CAN DO AND MAKE EASY PROFIT

There are businesses you can do on line and give up your day job. Most of these business idea can be run form anywhere in the world, even the United States, Australia, Nigeria, and other non-English speaking countries for consistency, all figures are quoted in Dollars.
1. Several jobs exist on a pay per hour basis but the better paid ones one probably contract jobs. Some examples of both; Copywriting; Proof reading of web/content/ebooks/news letters e.t.c.
2. Writing a Newsletter. Building a mailing list is a long term plan and it pays dividends but don’t expect immediate result. If your newsletter is good and you promote it well, you can collect hundreds of thousands of subscribers (who all get the newsletter for completely free). The more subscribers you have on your list the more advertisers pay to feature on your newsletter.
3. Write on Ebook on how to do things and sell. Infact, you don’t even need to do the selling “Affiliates” do it for your (on commission) and there are ebooks telling you on yow you can write and sell, ebooks!
4. Don’t foray writing? Then set yourself up as an eBay assistant. eBay itself wills end you people who need help with their complicated system. And you can charge them a commission.
5. Affiliate programmes can be great fun and reny incurrative. The trick is learning to generate traffic, funneling it your merchant account and hiring experience accountants to handle your massive term returns. It has made more millionaires than you’d believe.
6. Become an estate agent. Not a real one. In places like the US that’s too much effort. No you can act for buyers without all that formality by being a buying agent. Clients have a clear idea of what they want but you have the time to keep hithing right move – or wherever your best listings are – to find them that special properly. In the UK “buying agents” change 1-3% of the property value.
7. Sell photographs. Live in a big city? Hang around at celebrating mastering hiles, click some photos. There’s always someone online willing to pay for interesting ones – there are sites specifically for the buying/selling of photos like these.
8. Relationship Marketing: who said relationship marketing was about companies building relationships with their customers? It’s about marketing to relatives; about pimping products to your friends. Whatever the “network marketing” opportunities there ever were offline – there are a lots of stuffs you can personally recommend to your friend son line.
9. Hosting: You don’t need to buy a lot of server hardware to provide a web hosting service. Many big hosting companies allow “reseller” account where you sell hosting plans to customers and the hosting of company will host them all for you under Reseller account umbrella. You get to change customers as much as you want. You can pay some money to buy a reseller “business”.
10. Being a broker can be done in a thousand different ways. There are some entrepreneurs making healthy profits just by bidding for projects in places like enlace and gum (and others) and farming them out to a bank of writers/programmers they sue on a regular basis.
11. Become an expert in a particular riches perhaps affiliate programs for kids products, or mailing list services and change for your advice either at online web mass… or even at beal business events. The great news is that this is the internet, and becoming an expert in a riche often requires nothing more than spending lots of time (online) reading and absorbing. No school to attend, no fees to pay.
12. Enjoy networking? Social networking web 2.0 style? If you build up sufficient reputation in places like pig, people will start approaching you to start some business on their company or their new product. At one point, Netscape offered to “Diggers” a Sweetener of $1,000 to move over to their competing service.


13. Domain parking and type-in traffic. People sometimes guess at URLS.If they want a plumber they may try plumme.com through they’ve never used that site themselves. Find terms that people may be typing in, buy the domain and populate it with ads.
14. Drop catches. People sometimes forget to renew their domains and these expire. Picking them up will give you some remnant traffic sites that link to this domain/people who’ve bookmarked it etc. In some cases the traffic can be pretty high, provided you’re fast enough to replace the copyrighted content and replace it with yours and make profits.
15. Start your own country: Whoa! yes you’re reducing it right. It you’ve heard of seal and (what is seal and?) You’ll know that starting your own country is not that for –fetched. Once you have your own ‘’whacking country’’ you can apply for a wc (yuk) TLD. Sell million of demand. Keep some for yourself. Ever wanted a Google _____?
16. Run a demand management service. Hundreds of thousands of webmasters (or more) have a large portfolio of demands. A lot of them would like the bring bit taken out of their domain management. You can in their DNSer or just a service remanding them when each domain comes up for renewal. Or an automated monitoring service to tell them where one of dominos/ sites is in accessible.
17. E-mail or phone answering: Be one of the first time support staff manning a company’s phone. Or e-mail answering service. Filter out the easy questions by pointing the inner to relevant sectors of his manual and ejaculate those that seem genuine problems. Sometimes a bit of training is involved.
18. The web has allowed easy access to industrial quantities of free stuff. For example, in 2007, a major manufacturer of cricket bat had a problem. Cricket bats can’t have knots in them so most of the wood from the willow tree has to be discarded as scarp. Not a few bin bags fill but 70 tins per week. Yes, lorry loads! Per day! Free. They listed it online. Opportunity: Find a company that sells bark mulch for gardens find out how much they are paying to buy wood. Offer them 70 tons of five million a week at 50% of their current costs provided they pick it up themselves. Or contact manufacturers of chipboard/cat litter/use-your-imagination. OK, this particular opportunity may have ended but there are others, and on other sites too.
19. Filling in survey. True there are a lot of duds around but there are still some programs that pay you for doing murid-numbingly dull tasks like filling in surveys.
20. Have expertise in a particular subject? Write regular in that subject and give array your knowledge for free. People will bookmark your BLOG and visit regularly. The money is in allowing companies to advertise their products and services to your very eager audience.
21. Don’t have expertise on a particular subject? That doesn’t stop bloggers. Some of them blog on the most mundane things – from what they had for breakfast to know how they spent their day. And still the advertisers come. So, don’t blog to demonstrate your expertise. Blog to demonstrate your camera obsession and show all the stupid pictures you take everyday or blog about breast-feeding your kids.
Remember, it is possible to make a healthy living oilmen with multiple streams of income. It is a privilege to be living in there interesting times, times of opportunities, times where you can give up your day job and make easy money doing absolutely “nothing”.

SECRET OF MICRO FINANCE BANK LOANS FOR ENTREPRENEURS

Secret 4: Flexible Loan Return Donation
Some MFBs even allow loan to be paid back in installments, while the interest is divided bind spread equally on each installment. E.g. If one borrows 90,000 Naira, it is allowed in three phases of 30,000 naira each while the interest of six or seven percent is spread on top. So, one ends up pay about 32,000 or 32,333.
Secret 5: Easier MF Loan Eligibility Via Active Accounts
