Online Money Making Opportunities

In my senior year I made a drastic decision, dropping out of my double major of Journalism and Writing Intensive English, quitting my job on the school newspaper, and deciding to not go to grad school the next fall. I needed something different. Something that made me excited, instead of making me dread the next step in my life.


My parents were less than thrilled with my decision. I had such a promising path! How could I just give up on everything I’ve worked for?! Like everyone else in my family, they didn’t understand why I started applying for Teach for America and researching programs for teaching English overseas.  They were constantly questioning me (“What are you going to do once you graduate?” and “What are you going to be when you grow up?”) but I honestly had no idea and I didn’t want to jump into a graduate program and spend all that time and money when I couldn’t answer those most basic questions.


So I researched. And researched some more. And along the way, I started reading blogs about volunteering after college and found myself intrigued. Volunteering was something I did infrequently in college and when I did, it was either for a class I was taking or part of my job. So I took the plunge and became an AmeriCorps*VISTA when I graduated in May.


I had a cousin who did AmeriCorps*VISTA several years ago and he suggested that I look into it.  When I started my research I felt a connection to what VISTA stands for: Volunteers In Service To America.  VISTAs are different from other volunteers because we work the administration side of different nonprofits or government agencies that fight against poverty. In return for our work, we do not receive an income but a living stipend (which ironically puts us on the same level of those we serve: poverty).


While making the decision and joining VISTA was easy, it was deciding on where I would serve to be the problem. Would I stay in Milwaukee and be around my friends and the boyfriend I had? Or would I do the smarter decision and move in with my parents and save money? The flip side of moving in with my parents involved me having to move across the country to New Hampshire, a state in which I knew no one and had no friends. I knew I would only be making a very, very small amount of money and I knew I couldn’t afford the rent and utilities in Milwaukee, so I moved in with my parents. Now here, I’m working at both a private school with a huge emphasis on volunteering and a nonprofit that helps keeps students in the public school system on track for college.


But while my experience is very focused on the work that I do, it’s so much more. My placement is part of an umbrella program, so I am connected with other VISTAs in the area. Over the past months I have gotten to know quite a few of them and we’ve become good friends. We have a lot in common off the bat, they know what I’m going through on a daily basis and they’re generally wonderful people. So much so that when my relationship ended (the distance due to my move was just too much) and I missed my friends from college, my new VISTA friends were there for me and got me back on track.


As for the day to day, it differs; I can be busy working on activities for tutoring or meeting with students. Some days I sit at my desk and just work on a database, calling nonprofits about their volunteer opportunities. And, like any job, there are days that I just sit and dink around online.


Moving away from where I had lived for four years was really hard. Losing my relationship in the first couple months was harder, and not having my girlfriends around made it worse. But the friends I have made through VISTA are some of the greatest people I have ever met. We have been put in a situation where we make little to no money and are sometimes doing very tedious work.  We make the most of it and with these friends I am doing so much more with my life than I would have if I had stayed in Milwaukee on my original path. I may have had to make some sacrifices and I may be about as far off the beaten career path as humanly possible, but I love what I do and I feel good doing it.


It’s all even made me reevaluate what I want for my life and figure out just where I want to be when this whole thing is over. Will I continue working in nonprofits? Maybe. Continue on to grad school and get a Masters in Education? Possibly. Follow my dream of seeing the world and teaching abroad? Most definitely.


Being an AmeriCorps*VISTA has pushed me out of my comfort zone and changed who I am for the better.  For all of you college seniors who are unsure of where you want to be next year, I seriously recommend looking into giving back. (Editor’s Note: And here are a few more reasons why!) I know that this is where I am supposed to be for a year and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to find my passion and give back to those who aren’t as fortunate as I have been.

With these tough times, many people are willing to start a home-based business to supplement their income. Using a reliable computer with an Internet connection will enable you to find out about making money online from home.

Let us search out a few ways to make money online. The first one is to sell other people's products by becoming an affiliate marketer. Believing in a product and learning the "chain of command" and keywords such as upline, downline will help in making this particular job a success. By recruiting or sponsoring new affiliates (downlines), a commission is paid to you (upline) on their sales which is a wonderful way to make money without even turning on your computer, at least for a while.

Selling products on eBay is another approach to make money online. You can initially do this on a part time basis and once you see how easy this is, can turn this business into a full time money making production.

Amway or Avon offer network marketing online jobs. These are just two companies and there are many more network marketing companies who have been successful in their online business opportunities.

Making money online can be done by taking online surveys or doing data entry. Consumers are paid for their opinions and for testing products, which will eventually be sold to buyers world wide.

Are you an excellent writer? Blogging is coming into a world of its own. People love to read and search engines love to "search" out new blogs because of their unique contents. Everybody has something to talk about that anybody will want to read. Starting your own blog and selling a product will enable you to earn money online. You can also write blogs or articles for other webmasters. Unique contents are always needed and income can be made, especially when you join a writing site that enables you to bid on projects provided by professionals in need of your writing abilities.

Selling membership earns residual income as long as the account is maintained by a hosting website. Becoming a virtual assistant, offering sound advice or services such as typing, answering phones, and bookkeeping is a preferred means by employers hiring telecommuting employees instead of them working in an office.

These are some of the ways in making money online and doing so from the comfort of your home. You are your own boss; you are doing something you love, either part time or full time and the best part, you get to call the shots and set your own working hours. What more could anyone ask for? All it takes is the desire to make money online, and finding unique opportunities that will allow you to take advantage of online income.
