The use of the internet has been expanding exponentially since its inception in the early 1990’s. In 2014 approximately 3 billion people used the internet worldwide at one time or another.

The rapid availability of smart devices (mobile phones, tablets, smart TV’s etc) combined with the rising popularity of social networks (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc) and the greater availability Wi-Fi means that the number of worldwide internet users will continue to grow into the foreseeable future.

The continual flexibility and seemingly limitless integration of the internet into our everyday lives combined with the massive pool of daily users has resulted in numerous ways that people can (and do) harness the sheer power and size of the internet to earn money online.

Now when I talk about making money, it can be anything from a little bit extra per month to help pay the bills right through to a full time career with the ability to earn multiple millions of dollars annually (or even monthly!!).

The Advantages of earning a living online are numerous and I’ll list some of those here:

> Ability to work from the comfort of your own home
> Ability to work from anywhere in the world (as long as there is internet access)
> Flexibility of hours
> Not having to wear specific clothing/uniforms (resulting in comfort and reduced clothing expenditure)
> Not having to answer to a boss/manager
> Save money on gasoline/petrol or other transport costs
> Don’t have to worry about traffic congestion hence reducing stress levels
> Can spend more time with family
> Quieter with less distractions
> Income is scalable and virtually limitless
> Passive Income Streams can be created due to the ability to automate processes
> Don’t need a college degree in most instances
> Anyone at any age that knows how to use a computer can do it.
> There is plenty of free and paid training and coaching programs available online to teach you.

Now if you’re getting excited about the prospect of earning money online, but don’t know where to start, I’ll be glad to assist you in that area as well.
