Start a Web Business
The internet continues to grow at record levels and there are a number of opportunities for people to take a slice of this massive market.
It’s more competitive and crowded than it used to be, but with some effort and time you really can create an attractive residual income working from home.
There are many different ways to create an online income.
- You can start a website/blog based on your hobby/interests and generate an income through advertising or promoting other peoples product in return for a % of any sales generated (affiliate marketing.
- You could create your own information product which you can sell and other which other people sell on your behalf (by recruiting affiliates).
- You could start an online store selling products which you ship to people (or the supplier ships directly, this is known as drop shipping).
These are just three of the different web businesses you could create and which are going to be in demand in 2012

Become a Freelance Writer
If you are not keen on starting up your own business just yet and want to start earning money very quickly, consider becoming a Freelance or Virtual Assistant.
If you have reasonable written English and are comfortable searching/researching using the internet you will be able to complete most jobs out there and as you gain experience you’ll be able to charge more and be more selective about the jobs you take.
In 2012 there will be a big demand for Freelance Writers to produce articles (usually 300-600 words) for blogs and also to submit to article directories. Many website owners don’t have the time to write these articles themselves and so outsource them to others.
You don’t have to know anything about the topic, you can find out everything you need to know with some simple online research.
If writing isn’t your thing you can pick up admin work, online research and a whole range of other tasks.
Jobs are advertising through freelancing job sites, by word of mouth and on online marketing forums. Some jobs are fixed price, but most pay by the hour with rates varying depending on your experience and expertise. You may have to take on a couple of low paying jobs first to get some feedback on your profile and then you can start charging a decent hourly rate.
