If your very much serious about earning money online then just follow my inputs to avoid the scams and start your work in the right path.

I have a done a research on my scale on the online money making from my college days and I have come across umpteen sites which boast much about making money online in an easier way and there are even some websites which collect/charge money from the users which are really just scams. Always make sure that you stay away from all these scams and real time big time wasters.

In this blog, I would be focusing mainly on three categories of people.

A. People who look out of Low efforts/Low Income
B. People who look out for Moderate efforts/Medium Income
C. People who look out for High efforts/High Income

Like in the Stock Market, Profit range relating to the risk you take, Here in Online money making, the scale of earning is really based on the efforts that you put into.

So, This would decide into which category you would like to fall into. I request you not to fall into traps of the online scams that lure you by showing the fake income proofs. 90% of the scams come by phrases including "Data Entry", which you should straight away avoid to be safe. Legitimate Data entry jobs which require some kind of experience to start working would include jobs like Business virtual executives, Transcriptions, Medical Transcriptions ,Medical writings/billings and some clerical jobs. I am mentioning the list of common words/Tasks that the internet users are making use for fooling the online job seekers. I advice you to stay away from these as much as possible to save your time and efforts. So, here is the list.

1. Data Entry jobs-Simple typing and earning
2. Getting paid for just surfing web
3. Getting paid to just read mails
4. Paid to click Sites (PTC) (Time Wasters) 
5. Survey (To some Extent)

Coming to our main subject, now let's see the legitimate ways to earn money from internet. Here i would be mentioning the ways in a broader view and in depth analysis and further detailing shall be done in individual blog entries.I shall explain the ways accordingly as mentioned in categories.

A. Low Income - Less Efforts

Remember that earning good amount money will always take a long time. So in this category you will earn little amount of money to start with and if you continue for so long, you can have loads of money. I am really excited to share you some of the ways in a broader perspective in an ascending order to an extent

1. Surveys ; Micro Tasks

You can earn money by completing small micro tasks like survey, reading mails, playing games, completing offers, shopping online and watching videos. One can earn $25-100 per month by each website mentioned here. But I prefer the other ways to earn rather than these surveys as this would lag your interests soon, if you get bored with the routine.

There are some sites like 

i.   Toluna
ii.  Swagbucks

iii.  Inboxdollars

iv. Clixsense 
v.  Vivatic

2. User Testing

Before releasing a website or an app or any tool , one generally does an user testing. There is a website especially for carrying out the user testing for websites and apps which pays 10$ for each website testing which takes 15-20 mins. Comparing to the value that the site owner gets by watching an user experience is worth a lot to the actual $10 payout.

Stay tuned for updates in these sections...
