The title of this post says it all except that fact that you may have to do a little work in order to make money on the internet. But as an active webmaster I thought of different ways that anyone could earn some extra cash.

As a webmaster it does not always make sense to EVERYTHING that has to be done with a website. For example my personal knowledge on web design is very poor, yet these days a person can get a designer for as little as $5-$10. By hiring someone it saves me countless hours of learning how to design, creating and editing, and more importantly my time.

This is why many people can make money off of webmasters just like me! If you go to webmaster marketplaces such as DigitalPoint and SitePoint there are thousands of designers waiting for jobs. Most these designers are desperate for money so they charge any where from $5-$25 for their design work.

If you were smart about it you could create your own web design business, without knowing a single thing! All you would have to do is get clients to your website or contact fellow webmasters that need a designer. At that point you would be able to name your price.

For example: The designer you hire to do the project for a client cost $10. You charge the client $30. You just made $20 without the headaches of creating the initial project.

If you think out of the box there are many industries where you could do the exact same thing applying these simple ideas and principles. Of course this not for everyone, the people that would succeed would need to be good with people. Also outstanding support skills would be a must. One would have to interact with potential clients in order to make the sale.

I actually just wrote this on the airplane… I am going on vacation for a week and got bored therefore I wrote this article to help others. I hope I didn’t blab too much =).
