    Great Post Sathish. You are right in saying that a blog could let you earn a lot of money. However one thing to remember is that money doesn’t come overnight and you will have to work hard to get the desired results.

    Hi Sathish,

    Wonderful post, this will help me to come across what all the ways out there to earn money.

    Now I would like to share my experience with” Internet surveys” that I have joined for a while 2 years back and what I get against every survey I complete is redeemable coupons according to committed pay.

    Here came problem when I tried redeem the coupon that we need to have Rs 1500 worth coupon (coupon is only redeemable on their recommended E-shops) to buy the product that means the minimum value of the product is Rs 1500 and so. But the actual worth of the product is approximately Rs 500. So I decided to start a blog and now I am earning at least $100 to $200 from my blog.

    This is my experience with internet surveys, and please don’t get me wrong that internet surveys are bad.

    So always I trust is make money from blogging and website and providing SEO services for clients.
