If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will agree with me that there are not many articles on how to make money published on this site. The major reason why we have not been publishing many articles on how to make money on the internet on this site is that there are too many of such articles already published online and a Google search will produce tons of links to such articles.
Nevertheless, what prompted me to write this article, which I believe that is the best and sincere insight on how to make money on the Internet legitimately, is that every time I tell people that I am an Internet entrepreneur, they seem to be taken aback because many of them do not seem to understand the possibility of doing business online apart from publishing your existing offline business in order to get a wider coverage.
Again, a few friends, customers and colleagues have personally come to ask me if there are possible and legitimate ways of earning a living on the Internet. In the rest of this article, I will reveal to you the secret of how to make money on the internet legitimately. Below are a few legitimate and enduring ways of making money on the Internet as a part time or full time business. I have personally tested them and I know they work.
Google Adsense
Google AdSense is a free, simple way for website publishers of all sizes to earn money by displaying targeted Google ads on their websites. By participating in this program, you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text or image ads on your site. When someone clicks, you earn roughly 68% of the click and Google gets the rest. The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular ad. You will earn a share of that amount. I have heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click. On a highly monetised site, you can make between $100-$1,000 (N40, 000-N400, 000) monthly.

Online Surveys
You like to share your opinions, right? Well, why not get paid for them? You can join survey sites and earn money by answering a few questions on how you feel about a product or service. On the average, you will spend between 10-20 minutes answering these questions and you will be paid between $2-$10 for each survey you complete. Although there are many of such sites, which claim to pay more, the site I use is free to join and you can receive your cheque from the first dollar you make. There are four possibilities of making money on this site: You get paid when you complete surveys; you get paid when your direct referrals complete surveys and you get paid when your indirect referrals (referrals your direct referrals made) complete surveys. You can also make money by participating in their regular sweepstakes and contests.

Writing Articles
Another secret on how to make money on the Internet is by writing researched and helpful articles and selling them to niche websites. The only thing you need is TIME and INTERNET connection. Depending on your expertise and demand for your articles, you can make $100-$1000 per month. Although there are many websites that claim to recruit freelance writers at a fee, you can sign up on Afrinotes and start making money writing summary and analysis of African literary works. They’ll pay you between $5-$15 for each summary.

Selling Digital Products
Selling digital products is another secret on how to make money from the Internet. If you do not have time to write, you can still earn a living by selling your study notes, lecture notes, theses or term papers. This is the best way to earn residual stream of income without doing anything. Just submit your documents once and keep earning. Digital Mart will pay you 70% royalty for each digital product you sell. That is, every time they sell your digital product, they will give you 70% of the selling price. You can sell digital products such as pictures, music, videos, documents, software, etc.
