I want stuff

 

So I've looked into a lot of ways to make money online, and the only result I've gotten is the strong desire to smash my face into a brick wall and punch a volcano in the mouth.

The internet has really been the only way I can earn money cause I don't have a lot of free time after school, guitar lessons and everything in between. Right now I'm looking to buy and replace the pickups and other parts in my guitar, which will cost around 350 eur. I also want a new phone around that price range, specifically the LG G3 S. If I didn't earn any money, I would have to wait 6 months and pick between the two. And I know money isn't equal to happiness, but material wealth can at least make your life easier.

The two main ways to earn money online I've found are (Keeping in mind that I'm from Estonia) Elance and Swagbucks.

Elance is a hard gig, cause trust is hard to come by and to use Swagbucks I need to use a fake proxy, and even then the payoff is sooooooooooo tiny.

 

I do make music from time to time and I don't think I'm terrible at it, but haven't really tried to pour myself into that and make a profit, but who knows? Maybe I should try to :I

 

So please give me your suggestions before I go cry in a corner :/

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

Fastest way is to learn some HTML and make a few cheap websites and sell them to small businesses for some insanely cheap price. Quite a few people do that here as companies request 300e for even the simplest HTML website, while someone in college is willing to make it better for 50e. :)

Not profitable anymore

Well I already do music, and I'm pretty sure there are enough coders to stir with your foot out there right?

Take your chances. Start off at http://www.codecademy.com/ or http://www.lynda.com/default.aspx (Lynda isn't free)

OKAY, okay, I'll see what I'm capable of. If it truly is some kind of gold mine, I'll check it out.

Hey, if you are a part of a small community (small town) you could really offer to make some websites for small store owners, they might be interested if you offer it for a low price. To make the deal smooth tell them you are willing to make a website for free and have them check it out, if they like it, they can tell you what they want changed and pay you like 50e or so for the website and you profit. :)

That's actually an awesome idea :D

I know of a lot of local businesses that have absolutely horrendous, dated websites, one of them is the one my mother works at :o

Alright boys, get your <html> ready, cause we're gonna, atleast try to make a profit :3
