Now you beginners have passed stage one (see last post), it's time to start earning!;

A forum- or message board as they are also quite commonly known- is basically like a bulletin board or a non-live chat room. They are usually based on a certain topic, such as a celebrity and then people post messages (threads) which are then replied to, creating a topical conversation.

Chances are, that as an internet user, you've probably posted on a forum before, whether it be for help or assistance with something or just to chat about your favourite celebs.

The easiest way of making money on the web has to be posting on forums/ message boards. You don't need any experience at all- just the motivation to post messages about things that interest you.

Most forums pay $0.10 (10 cents or around 5 pence) per valid forum post, sometimes more. I'd say it takes around 1-2 minutes to write a decent post providing you're quite quick at typing. That means that you could make up to $6 per hour (which, might i add is pretty good to say you're just sitting on your computer chatting about your favourite subjects)!

www.forums.digitalpoint.com is a good place to start if you're interested in forum posting. They have LOADS of forum posting jobs available everyday.

There are many, many different ways of earning cash over the internet.

Some of these methods are damn right hard if you don't know anything about Search Engine Optimization, graphic design, data entry- i could go on... but we'll deal with the tricky bits later, once you've mastered a few simple strategies that require no past experience or even intelligence, if i'm quite honest, haha!

But first, you'll have to do a few things before you can even think about making cash online:
1. Get an email address. I know it sounds pretty trivial to have an email address if you're using the internet- your internet service package should have came with one but some people seem to think that email addresses are just used to send messages to one another. And that's true- but not entirely.

Aswell as just sending electronic mail to one another, they are required to sign up to the websites which could potentially earn you your money, aswell as allow you to transfer it.

If you don't have an email address already, try Yahoo, Google Mail or Hotmail which are all popular, dependable email hosts that are 100% free!

2. If you're gonna get paid, you're gonna need some way of collecting the money, right? In that case, you'll need to sign up to a online money transferring company. We suggest using Paypal as it's the most commonly used, aswell as the safest means of money transfer on the net! It also allows you to transfer your the cash you make online to your bank account allowing you to spend it in the stores!

And that's it really. Everything else you will learn along the way. So check back soon to learn about my first, most simplest money making method.
