Anyone who works a lot on the computer and has a lot of breaks can easily find a way to round their wages by taking advantage of one of the countless opportunities offered on the Internet. The traditional way to earn money via the Internet is obviously to work on websites but this is a real profession that can be done full time or part time.
Leaving aside this more professional option, we see the best methods of making money on the Internet by citing activities feasible by anyone, without deception and without scams. It should be made clear that earning real money is never easy and that any job, even occasional, requires serious commitment .

How to make money on the Internet
The biggest advantage of the Internet is not so much in the ease of earning, but in the fact that you can do it from home or from anywhere else, with a computer in your hand and without having fixed times.
Let's find out which methods allow you to make money on the Internet, always paying attention to scams and scams.
1) Sell on eBay
Everything you don't really need can be auctioned on eBay; the site reserved for sales can be reached from here -> eBay .
This auction site makes it really easy to create a seller profile, then just insert a few photos of the object and a description to sell it online.
The only commitment is the shipping of the item, while eBay applies convenient rates (in percentage) on the earnings generated by occasional sales.
Although technically there is nothing difficult, some practice is necessary to sell successfully: you have to take care of the creation of product pages and become reliable in feedback, without giving scams to buyers.
The more positive feedback we get, the easier it will be to sell.
We also need to set reasonable minimum bids to make sure people buy.
If you have nothing to sell it is not illegal to buy a stock of some product from abroad at discounted prices (for example Chinese tablets) to be resold individually, but be careful not to exceed the quantities and earnings to avoid having tax problems (a turnover of more than € 8000 per year could trigger complaints from the Revenue Agency or the Guardia di Finanza).

2) Write a personal blog
If we are looking for something less "material" than eBay we can always start a new blog, so as to attract readers using social networks (like Twitter and Facebook) and make money from advertising.
Creating a blog that earns money is really easy and immediate: you can go to Blogger.com, register a free blog, insert advertising using the Google Adsense program and then start writing (see also Earning with a blog and Google advertising Adsense ).
The more the site is seen the more you earn even if, to get to interesting figures (for example 5 euros per day on average) you will need to have at least 10, 000 constant monthly visits (they also vary depending on the topic), which is not easy especially if you don't has nothing interesting to write.
The important thing is not only inspiration but also the constancy to write daily or almost.
Some blogs started like this, then became sites with thousands of visits and thousands of euros thanks to advertising and sponsors, to the point of becoming a real job.
3) Write on other blogs or sites
Always remaining in the "writing" field instead of creating and maintaining your own blog, you can write as a freelance for other sites or other blogs ; in this case we are full masters of our destiny since we can write at night or day, from home or from the office or when we have a free moment in the day or week, also agreeing on the frequency of writing and the content parameters with your contact person (the site owner or an administrator).
There are many sites that are looking for writers, editors, copy-writers and bloggers but to earn important figures, a lot depends on the writing skills, the mastery of the topics covered and the visits generated by your articles: if you are good you can also aspire to figures greater than € 10 per piece!
We always recommend opening your blog in parallel with writing activities for other sites ; when you work for yourself the motivations triple and we can also double your earnings by writing for yourself and for others without taking anyone into account At the state).
4) Create and publish videos on Youtube .
The Youtube video site allows you to subscribe to an online advertising program so the more videos you upload and the more they are viewed online, the more you earn.
The circuit used is the same as the blog, that is Adsense, so we will be paid based on the views of our original videos and also on the clicks on the advertisements that the users interested will see appear during the viewing.
On this topic we can deepen the discussion by reading the following guide.

5) Give repetitions online
If you are familiar with a school subject or a foreign language, you can give tutoring online via videoconference with the student, obviously for a fee.
There are some sites that manage online reps supply and demand such as Tutors-live.it .
If you know English well, the opportunities expand considerably with even bigger and more successful sites like Tutor.com .
The earnings can also be very interesting, in particular for the most difficult subjects we can even reach € 10-15 per session, so as to round off the salary and earn decidedly interesting figures.
6) Web design, digital graphics and photography projects
If you are good with graphics programs such as Photoshop, you can propose yourself for a project or start one entirely on a site such as StarBytes.it and Link2me.it .
If the ideas are innovative enough we could resell them to those interested in exploiting them, so as to gain something with our creativity with graphics or 3D vector programs.
With a little luck we will also be able to receive commissioned works to create a logo or poster, so as to earn something.
7) Selling homemade items
This is perhaps the most genuine and enjoyable method of making money from home using the Internet.
You can go back to being an artisan and create original products of any kind: bags, shoes, clothes, decorative objects, costume jewelery and whatever you want or are able to prepare with a crochet hook, tools or sewing machine.
The showcase is offered free of charge from the Etsy.com website, where anyone can open their online store and sell their creations.
Unlike eBay, the products sold on Etsy must be original, so as to be able to attract more customers who want to give a touch of creativity to their home or wardrobe.
8) Sell shirts online
Selling t-shirts via the Internet couldn't be simpler; in fact, there are websites that offer everything you need: t-shirts, printing and shipping.
So anyone can design a logo or an inscription and create their own T-shirt to sell it online.
The best sites are Cafepress, Spreadshirt.it which is also in Italian and then also Tostadora, where you can create unique and original T-shirts to sell online.
Just make your creativity available, so we can create original T-shirts that we can easily resell both on the same site and by having a stock of T-shirts sent for resale live or on other sites.
9) Create new apps
Another method that we recommend to make money on the Internet requires excellent knowledge in programming languages, since it is very easy to create new apps to sell on the Play Store or on the App Store at a fair price (we recommend no more than 2 €) or distribute for free but with the addition of advertising messages within the same, so as to earn with Adsense or similar circuits from each view and click inside the app.
To create new apps for Android, we refer you to the programming suite present here -> Android Studio .
If instead we want to create compatible apps for iPhone or iPad, we can download the development SDK from here -> Apple Developer .
Whichever path is chosen, we will have to log in with our specific account (Google for Android and Apple ID for Apple) in order to subsequently publish the app after the security checks carried out by the companies to avoid problems.
10) Invest in Bitcoin
The last way to make money is actually a little risky and plans to buy Bitcoin virtual currency in the hope that their value will grow.
At the beginning of 2018, Bitcoins reached very high levels of value, making those who had bought them a few months or a year earlier, when the value was even 100 times lower, gain huge amounts.
On Bitcoin, a complex topic and to be studied well, I can refer to two introductory guides:
- How to create Bitcoin
- How Bitcoins work
