The world of technology is filled with a sea of nerds battling it out for the prime position. They trawl through the internet looking for new ways to conquer and gain ground. At least that's how some people see it. And partly that's true. There are so many nerds who do stuff on ths internet its unreal. And I am one. Admittedly not a very good one, but thats not saying there isn't plenty to do.
Think about the things you do on the internet. YouTube, social networking, looking though websites, playing games and using addons and stuff. There has to be a way all that is made right? And there has to be a way to do it and people who can't do it, right?
There are many forms of 'computer construction' and the builders are sought after folk. I know someone who is able to make complicated computer programs at a high level in a difficult language and he can make up to £2500 per job. People want taylor made stuff on the internet and that requires people to make it.
If you can learn a skill that people want to use you are quids in. For example, the most basic form of webpage construction, html webpages, can be bought for £50 a page. Now a 4 page website and it already starts racking up. Your challenge is to learn that skill so you can make money off it. You can make web templates for example, java applets for browsers or games for people. There is so much potential for you in programming even at a reasonably basic level. Remember the better you are, the more you earn.
Another way of creating digital products is that of the stock photo industry. People use stock photos off royalty photo websites for websites and magasines etc to save on taking them themselves. This is a great way of monetising those ameture photography skills.
You can also create eMagasines and newsletters, which can be used as a portal for advertising revenue.
Blogging is another option going down the advertising route. See my article on blogging for more info on this.
I have touched before on writing your own articles and doing freelance writing as a way of generating a little extra dollar. This is very handy and accessible with websites such as eLance.
There is obviously plenty more ways to make money from little virtual products and lots more things you can make with a little bit of skill and a load of creativity.
