You’ve decided it’s time to make money online but don’t want to pay anything to get started.
The good news is that it’s absolutely possible, and there’s a huge potential to make a decent living. It is true, though, that it’s important to be aware of scammers and some jobs that can be a waste of time.
If you have an internet connection and a computer, you can make money from anywhere in the world. So whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a college student or someone who’s looking to make a side income, making money online is definitely something that could work for you.
We’ve made a list of ways you could make money online and how to get started.
Making internet money
Cash back opportunities
Sign up for cash back or gift cards when you buy things
If you are making purchases already, you can earn cash back or gift cards for them.
My favorite programs are as follows:
- Honey: You can redeem your Honey points for Amazon gift cards
- Ebates: You get cash for signing up and cash back when you shop online
You have to be careful not to overspend but it’s a way to earn money online that is passive.
Free money
The personal finance mobile app, Personal Capital, will give you $20 just for signing up for an account.
You use the app to track your spending and saving.
I love it and my husband and I use it all the time to track our monthly expenses.
Sign up for a free Personal Capital account here.
You can also check to see if your local bank offers sign up bonuses for creating an account.
Make Money Online Blogging
Blogging is an indirect way to make money. You won’t get paid to blog, but you can use your blog to sell advertising, to drive sales to a different product or to sell your own products. When starting a blog you need to figure out which niche to focus on, and how to perform keyword research in order to rank on Google and make sure people click on your blog.

You won’t make money immediately with Youtube, but over time you can generate sales by promoting other people’s products, selling merchandise or selling advertising. With Youtube, you need to invest a lot of time in gaining the trust of your audience.
Amazon Remote Employee
Amazon hire thousands of workers to keep their business going, and they have announced plans to add 5,000 remote customer service jobs over the next year. This ranges from customer service agents, to data entry and even supply chain managers. Check out their listings and see if any job description could fit you as a remote worker.
