Make Money Online Editing

Question: Is there a good way to make money online?
I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to make money online. I’m not talking about selling junk on ebay or filling out surveys, but honest work (not make $100,000 per month from home) not gimmicks. For instance, I know that some people make money online by editing papers. I need some extra cash to pay off my college loan ($10,000). I’m a finance major and haven’t graduated yet, but just want to get a headstart making some extra cash.
Answer: Don’t click on any of those links! They’re either scams or nearly worthless. If you look at several of them however, you’ll notice that they all look identical in structure. The reason they all have similarly cheap, generic designs is because they keep getting shut down from investigations, and the criminals behind them often have to rebuild them over again as fast as possible.
Those sites promise legit sounding jobs like billing and transcription, envelope stuffing, or data entry. They show pictures of people holding cash and use the same hook and bait in the descriptions to pull people in. (Read a few of the pitches and again, notice the similarities.) The reality is most corporations handle their own bills and data or hire someone in person to do it, and envelopes are stuffed and sealed by machines.
Some of the survey sites are legit, but they pay next to nothing. (Like $30/month) You could make more than that in one day at any real job.
Now the good news. You can work at home, but not doing easy work like that. The only real online jobs require serious time and effort, like selling things on Ebay, doing graphic design (if you’re already skilled and experienced), or starting a business based on an actual and professional freelance service you would offer to people.
If you want to start working for yourself, start by coming up with some creative ideas of services you could offer. If you have money and time, you could learn a trade and be certified. Also plan to put even more hours into it at first than you would at a normal job, if you want it to succeed. You won’t have insurance or benefits either. But sometimes being independent is worth all of that.
