  1. Start a blog: Blogging is a great and legitimate way to make money online that is fast becoming popular.

If you want to start with a free blog (maybe due to lack of funds) then you can start with wordpress.com or blogger.com. After you have started your blog, you can now monetize it using Google adsense or some other advertising alternatives (watch out for more updates on this).

@techtrickz, Yes! I also love blogging because you determine your income. If you are making $200/month in blogging, it is because you like it that way. Try to put more efforts and you will see the result. Also you are in charge of everything.

Thanks for posting this, It’s just what I was looking for on bing. I’d much rather hear opinions from an individual, rather than a corporate site, that’s why I like blogs so much. Thanks!
