If you have a computer and an Internet connection, there are plenty of opportunities to make money at home. There are some morally gray methods which I won’t go into, and there are plenty of good honest ways to make extra cash online. I am going to be honest with you, if you know nothing about online money making opportunities I am not going to turn you into a “work from home” legend over night. What I can do if give you some solid advice on how to make money at home, that will work for you, and get you started on the right path.

Where to start

A safe any easy way to make money at home that isn’t going to hit your pocket too hard is to produce content sites, or articles and then optimise them for search engines, and then run ads on them once you start getting traffic. Sure there are other faster ways to make money online, but they require experience, and some of them can cost you a bucket if you don’t do it right. So content sites are a good place to start. You can even use free hosting options such as blogger to host your site, so there is no chance of losing money.

What should I write about?

I recommend writing about a topic you enjoy, although this is not necessarily mandatory. Plenty of people make good money writing about insurance, and pharmaceutical products. But I will leave that decision to you, what is most important is that you create content for a niche that has good advertiser competition, and money involved. The easiest way to find this out is to use Google’s External Adwords Keyword Tool. Try typing a generic topic that interests you into the box, and search. This will give you a few interesting stats. The ones we are most interested about are search volume, and cpc. Cpc is hidden when you first search so you will need to un-hide it. Obviously the more searches and the higher the cpc, the more money there is that can be made from writing about the topic. The higher these two factors are though, the higher competition you are likely to find. If it is your first project I don’t suggest you pick a topic that will have too much competition.

What next?

Write your content. Good content is more linkable, but it is also important that you use relevant keywords throughout your content. I am not going to go into depth about SEO in this article. Read some more of my content to find some good free links and ideas about how to best optimise your content. If you have selected a larger topic, then you should find plenty of different article topics to write about. Write articles that are optimised for specific search terms that have a good volume of searches. If this article has been useful for you and you are looking for more help keep reading my other articles. Cheers.
