Below are some of the online business ideas for Canadians that one can give a try:

Affiliate Marketing

Completing Offers – Incentive Sites
It is hard to believe but there are a number of sites on the internet where you can get paid to complete offers. The types of offers range from entering in your email address to installing a toolbar on your computer to entering your credit card info for a “free” trial of a product. Making money through an incentive site requires the least creativity of all the online money making opportunities. It is also doesn’t take much time or to get started. Another plus with incentive sites is that you know how much you are going to make for each offer completed. The downside is that the maximum earning potential is much less than the other options and you may have to pay for some products upfront but it could take over a month to receive payment from the site.

Survey Sites – Completing Paid Online Surveys
Earning money through a survey site is somewhat similar to completing offers on an incentive site but you don’t have to buy anything or enter in your credit card info.

Incentive sites can sometimes have a scammy feel to them and this is generally not the case with Paid Online Survey Sites, as they are paid by legitimate companies looking to gain market research data.

When you sign up for a survey site you will be asked a few questions about your age, gender etc. so you are presented with the surveys that fit your demographic info. Once you are all signed up you are free to select and complete surveys at your convenience for a set payout. There is a wider selection of survey sites in America but Canadians still have a few good options. Survey sites are a great way to begin dabbling with making money online and the good thing is that it doesn’t require any investment or experience to start with. Check out this link: Canadian Paid Surveys for a good list of best paying survey sites in Canada.

Make Money Blogging
Everyone has heard of blogging. But how do you make money with a blog? There are a couple of different ways but most revolve around selling ad space on your blog or using your blog to promote affiliate products. Running a successful blog is a lot of work as it requires nearly daily posting of interesting and insightful thoughts.

When starting a blog the most important thing is that you center it around something that you are interested in other wise you will have trouble coming up with posts and writing for your blog will become a chore. You can read this article to learn how to create your own website or blog?

Content/Article Writing
The search engine results (i.e., Google search results) are strongly influenced by content. In general for a site to rank well in the search results it needs original related content and most small to mid-size web properties don’t have the people on staff to write this content. It is becoming increasingly popular for the websites to buy content and articles from 3rd party sites that market writers content and articles. This is a bit of a newer concept and the earning potential is not huge but it could be worth looking into if you enjoy writing.

Make Money with Social Media
Social Media is an exploding market and there are numerous ways of making money online through sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Making money through Twitter is similar to running a successful blog. You need to talk about something that you are interested in and be an active part of the conversion about that topic. You first need to focus on making a name for yourself and build up a solid list of followers before promoting some related affiliate offers in an nonabrasive manner.

With Facebook you can create a group or fan page about something that you are interested, again similar to running a blog or Twitter account. The other major options are Facebook apps and social ads. Creating a successful Facebook apps requires some complicated coding but using social ads is relatively simple. Social ads are the little ads that appear on the right side of the page. You pay each time a person clicks on your ad and typically people use affiliate programs to monetize the traffic.

There are numerous other ways to make money online and I’ll share them on this site over time.

My personal suggestion is you start with Canadian paid surveys first as it doesn’t require any skill, experience and initial investment.

Once you earn your first $100 online, it will boost your confidence and from there you can start scaling and use the money earned from doing surveys to buy a domain name and hosting account and create your first website.

Once you have a your own website and it receives some traffic, you can start earning cash through affiliate programs, and Google AdSense program.
