What if I told you that there’s a way to make money online that’s both fun and extremely flexible? Well, there are many ways to do so, but the methods below are some of the most lucrative and quick ways to do it. Many people go online hoping to make money, but few succeed because they don’t know where to start or how to go about it.

1) Sell handmade goods

1. Create a handmade goods business. If you're handy with a needle and thread, try selling your creations online. Sites like Etsy make it easy to set up an online shop for free where you can sell all kinds of things, from jewelry, clothing and accessories to home decor, stationery and food. If you don't have the time or patience to create items yourself, there are thousands of people on sites like Elance who will create them for you at reasonable prices.

2. Start a blog and sell advertising space on it.

2) Do odd jobs

In this economy, it's become more and more difficult for people to find jobs. If you're looking for a way to make some extra money without leaving the house, there are plenty of websites that will help you do just that. Here are some of the best ways I know of:

- Task Rabbit - It's a site where you can bid on people's odd jobs in your area. You can charge whatever you want and set your own hours. All you have to do is post what kind of work you're willing to do, then wait for someone who needs it done. The site takes a 10% cut from each job, but if you need money fast or don't like leaving the house this is one way to go about it.

3) Sell your photos

Selling your photos is a great way to make money online. There are many photo sharing sites like Flickr, 500px, and Instagram that allow you to upload and share your photos. People can purchase the use of your photos and there are also many companies that will pay you for images as well. Some of these companies include: Getty Images, Shutterstock, and iStockPhoto.

4) Participate in online surveys

Online surveys are a great way to make money fast and easy. You can do them from the comfort of your home with minimal effort, and they usually take less than 10 minutes. The best part is that you can get paid for giving your opinion.

Online survey providers offer participants incentives in the form of cash, gift cards or shopping vouchers as an incentive for completing their surveys. Some will even send free samples of products and memberships to online services you may enjoy.

The downside is that many survey companies don’t pay very much at all—some as little as $1 per hour! And there are limits on how many surveys you may take each day/week/month so it might take some time before you earn enough money to make this a worthwhile endeavor.

5) Be a virtual assistant

A virtual assistant can work from home and they usually have a background in customer service, administration, or project management. If you're interested in becoming a virtual assistant, here are some ways you can get started:

-Look for jobs on sites like Upwork and Fiverr. -Apply for an administrative job at an online company such as Amazon. -Join a site like TaskRabbit where you can do small tasks for people who need help with errands and other things around their homes or office.

1. Sell your clothes on Poshmark! Poshmark is an online marketplace that allows you to sell fashion items and earn money in return. To get started, simply download the Poshmark app, create a style profile and list the items you want to sell. You'll also have the option of pricing your items according to their condition (e.g., like new, gently used). Once they're up for sale, you can then track how many people are viewing your items and how many people have bought them. For every purchase made from an item of yours, you earn 20% of what it sells for in store credit that can be used on any purchase on Poshmark!

2. Sell your clothes on eBay!

7) Sell your cosmetics

Most people do not realize it, but there is a great opportunity in the cosmetics industry. There are many types of cosmetics and they are all needed. The main three types are hair products, skin care, and make-up. Hair products include shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo, deep conditioning treatments, hair spray, hairspray and colorant for dyeing or highlighting your hair. Skin care includes facial cleansers and moisturizers for every skin type (dry or oily), as well as eye cream or eye gel for under your eyes. Make-up includes lipsticks in every shade of the rainbow, blush to give your cheeks a rosy glow and eyeliner that can make any look complete.

The choice is up to you and the audience you are targeting with your book.
