How do Filipinos make money online? Let us count the ways.
- 1. Google Adsense and other Advertising Networks
The most basic way to make money online is to create a site or blog and monetize it by having advertising networks serve ads to the site. Learn here how to start a blog then pepper it with content. The more content, the better, but optimize your site as well to attract more visitors who use search engines. Once you have a decent number of posts, join any of the popular advertising networks such as Google Adsense , AdBrite and Infolinks. They will give you snippets of codes that you have to add to your sites in order to show ads. When visitors click on the ads, you get paid.
Learn more about Google Adsense here or share how much you are earning from it by posting in the Google Adsense Earnings Survey thread.
- 2. Selling Ad Space
Some website owners offer customized packages and lease advertising space directly to advertisers. You need to have valuable content and consistent traffic, however, in order to attract advertisers. Create an Advertise Here page to give your prospective advertisers more info about the benefits of advertising on your website.
Sometimes, publishers merely join ad networks where they sell their ad space. Upon signing up, these networks provide links that will be posted on the blog or site. You can get paid when the ads are clicked or when a lead or sale is made. A few examples of these networks include Chitika, Crisp Ads, and grokAds.
- 3. Paid Blogging
Rather than writing mushy, self-centric, or showbiz-crazed stuff, several bloggers can use their creative juices to publish short reviews of a product, website, or service. Of course, they get paid in the process. Two of the popular sites where you can become a paid blogger are ReviewMe and PayPerPost.
- 4. Paid Outsourced Service (Content writing, programming, web design, SEO services)
Several online earners hang out in sites like Rent-a-Coder, Scriptlance, Getafreelancer, and eLance to offer programming, content writing, web design, or search engine optimization (SEO) services for a fee. Competition among fellow for-hires, though, is tough but once a good reputation is built, clients will ultimately follow. Learn how some PMT members are successfully earning as home-based freelancers in the Work at Home and Online Jobs. board in the forum.
- 5. Affiliate Marketing
Sell someone else’s products and earn commissions for every lead or sale. A few have found luck earning regular income as affiliates of Commission Junction, LinkShare, ShareaSale, and Clickbank. Discuss strategies with other affiliate marketers in the Internet and Affiliate Marketing board.
- 6. Online Selling
The bustling activity in eBay.ph, Auction.ph and Bidshot.com is a testament to the growing number of online sellers. Sell your stuff by posting in eBay, transforming a Multiply account into an online shop, or setting up a full-fledged e-commerce site. Drop by the Online Auctions, Selling, eBay and Multiply Stores board for more stories of Filipinos in the online selling arena.
- 7. HYIP and Autosurf Investing
If you are the gambler type, “investing” in autosurf or high yield investment programs (HYIP) might be for you. For a short period of time, you can earn double, triple, or even 10,000 times your principal without doing anything or, at the most, “autosurfing” other people’s websites. Beware, though, because 99% of these online “investment” programs are scams.
- 8. Get-paid-to (GPT) Programs
Not a lot of income can be expected here, but absolutely no cash outlay is needed either. Earn a few cents just by clicking ad links or reading advertisement emails. To meet fellow GPTers, go to the Free-to-Join Get-Paid-To Programs discussion board and access a list of programs that are currently paying.
