Creative ways to make money

These are creative ways to make money

What are the creative ways of making money? There are numerous, if you ask me, both offline and online, but I would focus on ways on making money online, from blogging about your passion, creating a website that gives out website templates, creating free games with trial versions, providing tutorials on lessons such as playing the guitar, saxophone and flute, video tutorials, organizing contests with award prizes, ranking of writers based on the topic of discussion on the site, site based on images and art, sites based on codes.

These are the following creative ways to make money:

Blogging about your passion

Blogging on topic on what you cherish and which happens to be your passion can be one of the very creative ways to make money, sites like stevepavlina’s on personal development, problogger and copy blogger does a fantastic job in doing this on topic related to blogging, and in turn they end up with trusted and valuable targeted traffic on daily basis, you can blog about almost anything from your daily live endeavors to writing about photography, screen writing, personal development, wealth creation, hobby, arts, crafts, sports and hiking.

Creating a website giving out templates

Sites like OSWD and template-monster also deal with this issue in a very distinct way, by creating and giving out templates they stamp themselves as authority on the web when it comes to template design and distribution, and thereby get visitors because any one that wants to have a web presence must always have a website, that they can provide their content on.

Free hosting

Providing free hosting services is another brilliant and creative way to make money online because from the provision of such free services as a webhost provider for hosting files such as mp3’s, documents, pictures and videos and in-turn when such free services provide you with a specific webhosting space say 50mb of data that you can upload, for you to upgrade your account you then upgrade to a paid service by the same provider, a very good example of this is 000webhosting.

Free Games

Providing a services whereby games can be played online like MMORPG(massively multiplayer online role playing game), chess, football, solitaire, the SIMs, typing tutor and the likes, providing free games to be played enhances one who is bored and looking for relaxation too, if this is not a creative way then I don’t think there is any other way that can be more creative, for the angle of making money from such service entails also making the player login into an account that can be limited to a duration of time, whereby the user/player has to also upgrade his/her account by paying in a certain amount of money for continuous online gaming experience.

Tutorials on lessons

Another unique way on how to make money online creative is helping to provide lessons and tutorials on just about anything from playing a musical instrument, web design, Aerobic instructions, installation of software. Examples of sites that do this is YouTube, Tutorialized, Metacafe and w3schools.

Video tutorials

Creativity using video to provide tutorials and lessons was official made popular by YouTube and hence other sites followed suit, while providing these videos, the popularity of such sites could attract advert placement on these sites and hence a means of revenue generation for these sites.

Organizing competitions

Sites like deviant art and helium are very good examples of sites that are able to generate their revenue from the organization of competition such as the creation of art-works and writing of articles in a debate like structure and this piece of work are then voted for and ranked by members of the site.

Sites based on codes

Providing source codes and what is known as tweaks and mods to existing codes with any programming language of your choice to solve the same problem is another way that is uniquely used to creatively to make money, sites like code project, script lance ,guru and Elance are heavily involved in this kind of creativity.

Forums

I know a strange choice but you would put yourself in a very unusual spot if you are not thinking with all options open, hence the choice forums ,forum are areas where individuals of like minds interact and solve each other’s problems, ask questions ,get them answered, now these forums are there for a reason having moderators and the administrators of these sites and once you can get your problem or questions, answered and solved, an example of such sites are Moneymakerdiscussion and goggle groups, then and another creative way of making money from such avenues involves the placement of advert and also the displacement of affiliate links that leads to sales that of course are recommended to solve these problems
