Money Making Opportunities Online In The New World

By Kerri Turner


The world certainly entered an incredibly exciting new era with the invention of the Internet towards the end of the twentieth century. It took some time for many people to appreciate the dramatic transformation of the whole world. The younger generation were quickly fascinated by the new gadgetry and were able to learn how to make it work as though by magic. More experienced people who had been trained in different ways were a little slow to wake up to money making opportunities online.

Young people tend to be more computer literate than their elders and that may be one reason why there are many hopeful but unsuccessful efforts to emulate the few celebrities who have succeeded in fluffing up vast fortunes online. Sustained efforts and experience of life are still necessary, even in online contexts. As the world situation stands in 2012 there is officially a high youth unemployment rate and many failing businesses.

The situation as it is in 2012 could suggest that many firms and even governments have failed to keep ahead of the game. Instead of adapting to a new world they have reverted to old growth models. When their policies have failed they have simply gone back to the old paradigms to repeat their mistakes.

In countries like England and America there are many sanctimonious comments about the paucity of jobs, especially jobs for young people. What politicians and journalists fail to mention is that they want full, conventional employment for workers who have to register and be taxed. Bureaucrats have in many instances not yet caught up with ways to trace online incomes in order to take their bites out of them. However, everyone can be sure that they are working on it. Governmental efforts to curb freedom of speech and regulate online activities have become nasty and intense.

Society may be reluctant to admit that money can be made online through pornography. Dating sites and sex trading sites probably make more money for agents and webmasters than they do for participants in the trade, but that is nothing new in the business world where agents usually do best. There are also opportunities for agents in the hospitality and entertainment industries.

Pornography may fall into the category of sleazy business but it is not dishonest if genuine services are delivered. Unfortunately, a harsh reality is that money can be made by Internet scams. Once again there have been scams in markets bazaars and on the streets of cities since time immemorial. Unfortunately the Internet world is no exception. Criminals have not been slow to exploit the latest opportunities.

There are many scams where money is made by selling spurious, exaggerated or non-existent goods. One example of a scam is the classified advertisement for 'data entry clerks'. Applicants are asked for an upfront fee in return for a job. This turns out to be nothing more that putting advertisements in newspapers at one's own expense to dupe other people into paying upfront fees for nothing.

Affiliate marketing is one of the reliable and ethical opportunities for making money online. This involves the marketing of products being sold on other websites in return for a commission. Many small commissions can add up to a substantial amount in return for hard, honest and consistent work.
