Work For Yourself

A main principle that I always try to keep in mind when thinking of new ways to make money is just to do things for yourself. If you look around you won't find too many wealthy people that got that way by working for somebody else. Just stop and think about that for a second. If you are working for somebody else then they are making money off of your time and skill.

That idea is the same whether we are talking about working a regular job or even here online. Rather than writing for some of these websites and making peanuts go out and do it for yourself. Dish out that money to get your own website rolling or even start up a free blog. If you put in the effort you can make money online using free sites such as blogspot. Just do the research and work and it will pay off down the road.

But if you do go about starting your own blog or website my advice would be to try and find a niche topic that has little competition. You can use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to help you figure out what kind of interest it gets from advertisers. If you go to Google and type in something like making money then you may get a billion search results. But there are specific topics that you could search for and find 80,000 search results and those are the kind of topics you want in my opinion. I would rather be on the first page of Google for a small topic than the ninth page of Google for a bigger topic.
