Top 10 Businesses Online

There are several online businesses, but here, I have compiled the top ten businesses online today. Not every online business is a lucrative business. However, some online businesses have exceeded the expectations of even their owners. Listed below, are the top 10 businesses online.

Jewelry business:

You can have an online jewelry business out of your home and have others sell it for you either online or in retail outlets. You can either make your own jewelry or buy it ready-made and just resell it—it’s up to you. You can sell the jewelry online by advertising online or in the newspaper. Handmade jewelry can be sold at a higher price since it is labor intensive and not machine made.

Blog writer:
If you have something to write about, you can become a blogger and get your voice heard online. It is challenging but new and exciting every time! Visitors to your blog can post their comments and interests. Blogging usually works best if you know and like what you are writing about, which is called, “niche blogging.”

Ameriplan representative:
Ameriplan is one of the biggest companies in discount health benefits, and you can do it online. All you pay is $50 a month in overhead. They have health, dental, vision and prescription plans that you can easily sell to interested prospects. The benefit to you and your family is that you will be fully covered on all these plans once you sign up to sell the Ameriplan services.

Cleaning company:
This is a business where you can be flexible. You can clean homes or businesses yourself, or you can contract people through a company. All of your clients can be found through Internet advertising.

E-book writer:
An e-book is the digital equivalent to a book. You author it, but instead of getting it published through a bricks-and-mortar publishing house, you post it online. You can also sell the e-book to people who want to post it to their website.

eBay buyer or seller:
You can sell or buy products from the convenience of your home online through eBay, all day and every day. All you need is a product or item that you think people would be interested to purchase. Improve your chances of making a good income through eBay by learning about dropshipping and retailing.

Computer support:
All those knowledgeable in computers and their operating systems, software, hard drives, and viruses, should think about starting an online business as a consultant.

Mystery shopper:
These shoppers get paid to shop and pose as a real shopper, while testing a product or service for a company. Once the product is tested, the “mystery shopper” provides their feedback.

Pet-sitter service:

You can apply and get this job online, especially if you are an animal lover. You get paid to walk, feed or watch your client’s pet.

Virtual assistant:
This job provides services to business owners who don’t have the time to check their email, need someone to type their work, and edit their documents. It’s a virtual office job you can perform online from your home office.

Make Money Online While Attending College

So you want to write. You see the dollar signs. Writing is the true way to make money while attending college. Online careers, where you make money online, are the best form of making money in college. Real money. So how can you make money online while attending college? You stop going for the single digits ($7 or $8 an hours) and start using the talents you’ve learned as a student. You could, for example, be a writer or create a blog. As a student, you can find time to write online articles. This guide tells you exactly how to make money online by writing-with a focus on college students.

Manage time:
So you like what I am saying. Sure, you can put together an online career, you might be saying, by using up the only two hours you have free in the day by writing. Two hours isn’t enough to build a work from home online career. Right?
Actually, there are better ways to manage time, better ways to make money online. You will need to look at time as money. You will need to see this as a building process. Taking a college course doesn’t mean it will be easy to make money online; you will have to manage your time better than even the “normal” 9 to 5 workers. Time is valuable. It means getting up early and staying up late. It may mean forgoing one or two college courses so you can truly work from home when you finish college. This is all about preparation.

Developing Connections:
They say connections are false, that you don’t need connections to do things like make money online or work from home. Well, it sounds nice to say there is no need for connections. However, by connections I don’t mean knowing someone who knows someone who wants a horror novel or a comedy screenplay. It means branching out and meeting other writers. Meet other online career minded people. Join online writing groups on places like Yahoo! Groups. These small connections will lead to work from home jobs.

Go for the Small Victories:

I haven’t told you how to do it yet-to truly make money online. Here it is: in the beginning, go for the small victories. For instance, you could be writing ads for paid blogging sites, which is a lucrative work from home career, given time. Or, just to keep food in the fridge, you write short articles for $5-10 apiece. In the beginning, you need experience. So write for the sites where you know you can profit from, but also use on your resume.
There is a misconception that content sites-sites where you sell and publish articles-are a waste of time. For the beginning college writer trying to work from home, they can be a perfect beginning. You likely won’t be able to jump into the lucrative paid blogging world immediately, or charge high rates for online articles. But you will … very soon.

Look for the Big Victories:
To get the big bucks working from home you will need to start looking for the big victories soon. Take a breath and start searching. The internet changes-and you must change with it. It’s time to do things like put the footwork in to find ways to make money online. One popular way is blogging, where you can prove your worth, retain rights to articles, and write just about anything you want while getting paid for it. Some top content sites will provide you with crucial experience for an online career. For example, Demand Studios is a growing media outlet where many writers are doing more than making money online-they are building resumes.

Blogging Income:
To make money online, in the second stage, blogging should be a part of it. This work from home career allows you the most freedom. Sites like Smorty.com, PayPerPost.com, and Blogitive.com will pay you to write ads for them. Often this isn’t the best way to make money online, but it is a part of building an online career. In the beginning, it will be low pay. In the middle, it could be a career. By the end, it could be a dream.

Job Hunting:

Always keep searching for new writing jobs. Some sites will stop accepting articles or will no longer be a route to paid blogging. So keep searching and looking for new venues to sell your words. Writing is the most honest way to make money online, as writers are needed for many websites on the internet. There are dozens of places to find work from home jobs across the net. If you want a career in online writing, it will take a lot of searching. However, as the online world is growing, the more you publish the more you will be sought after-and the higher you will be paid. That is the beauty of an online career.
