What if you're not creative, and you're not wanting to write articles? Or you are willing, but you're not a native English speaker? Well, everyone has skills, and if English is your second language and you know enough of it to have no difficulties reading this article, you could become an online translator.
You can pick and choose the projects you want to work on, and it pays regularly, twice a month.
You can even build up a portfolio that will allow you to pursue a career in translation.
Even if your skills run to other areas, there are ways to turn it to your profit.
If you start thinking of everything as being marketable to someone, you'll start seeing unique opportunities to make money online.
If you can play an instrument, you could make money through that.
Can you play guitar? You could set up a website selling video clips of short guitar lessons.
Even priced relatively cheaply, with enough lessons and enough viewers you can earn more doing this than as a traditional guitar tutor.
Especially as you only need to record each video once, but you get paid for every download.
This applies to all instruments, of course, and not just guitars.
There is also someone who wants to learn to play a didgeridoo.
Another way to use videos for profit is to become a YouTube partner.
Anyone can become a partner so long as they upload videos on a regular basis, according to YouTube.
You then get a cut of the money YouTube gets for the adverts that run before your clip plays, paid to you in the form of a check from Google AdSense.
You might not get the $100,000 that a dad earned for a clip famously known as "Charlie bit my finger again," but it's not unreasonable to expect $20 a day.
Another way to make money from videos is to film a web-series.
If you can find a relatively unexplored niche, as Felicia Day did with the Guild, and if you can build up a large audience, you could earn money through product placement or sponsorship.
The most successful web-series are comedies, and the episodes need to be short.
The script should be snappy and the production quality has to look professional, but it is an option if you can manage all of that.
A more technical way to earn is by building apps.
With smart phones becoming so commonplace, the demand for apps has grown to astronomical proportions, with more than 3 million in the iPhone store and a further million for android.
Because apps cost virtually nothing to build and have no shipping fees, they have large profit margins.
And you can tie an app into several of the other ways to make money listed here, such as the web-series or the eBook.
If you have either of these and you don't have an app, you're losing money.
