Here is a list of instant moneymaking opportunities on the Net:
Sell e-books

If you cannot wait for years and is in need of immediate money, you could opt to just publish your book on a website. You can get money through subscription and advertising. E-books that sell are usually instructional guides.
Offer downloadable products
An advantage of selling downloadable products, such as reports, articles, or how-to guides, is that you do not carry printing and delivery costs. It is also easy to collect payment because most clients pay through their credit cards and bank accounts.
It is not really hard to create downloadable products. Just put the things that you know, probably a secret recipe or instructional guide to install kitchen shelves, into writing.
Collect from paid surveys and reviews
Companies, especially multinational entities, are interested in hearing from their customers. They want to know how they can serve you better and improve the products that they offer.
Traditionally, companies pay marketing and advertising agencies to sponsor focus group discussions, conduct surveys and product reviews. Now, many groups have discovered that it is easier to get feed back from customers through the Internet. To encourage more people to participate in surveys and reviews, companies offer small rewards or fees for answering surveys and reviews
Trade handicrafts and unique products
If you want to make a selling online, you have to ensure that the products that you sell are handmade and unique. More people will be interested in visiting your site if you are offering cheap and unique goods.
Selling collectibles, such as comic books, toys, action figures, stamps, antique furniture and oil money and coins, on online auction sites is also very profitable. Sometimes people are willing to spend a lot just to complete their collection and get a hold of hard to find items.
Make money through online advertising
Website owners make money through advertisements. Do you notice pop-up windows or streaming videos when you open a website? Web page owners are paid by advertisers based on the number of clicks that advertisements posted on the websites get. This is called pay-per-click advertising.
So what are you waiting for? Get a computer and Internet connection and surf your way to big bucks.

1. Automate keeping in touch with prospects and clients. Put a subscription form on your website. Make a special offer or free gift to entice your prospects to sign-up. After building a list of prospects, you must follow-up with them on a regular basis to build credibility and relationship.
You could create a message and put it on an auto responder. Send a message for every week with an offer for something valuable that will cost your audience little or nothing.
2. Dig for gold in your book customer files. Do you realize your most profitable trail leads to your current and former customers? Most business professionals including authors don't. They are too busy seeking after new customers that they neglect what they already have.
According to a survey conducted by Fortune magazine it is FIVE times as expensive to get a new customer as it is to sell to an existing customer. Create booklets, reports, courses that you can sell to your existing book customers.
3. Outsource Marketing services. Leverage your time. Use your skills at the highest level; delegate or outsource the task your skills are lowest in. Or if your budget permits, outsource all your periodic mailings, article submissions, telemarketing to set appointments, reminder notes, etc.
4. Expand your marketing collateral. If you create a short report that your target audience will value (e.g. "How to Hunt the Hidden Treasure in Your Customer Files"), don't stop there. Expand it to a different media or market. You could create a tele-seminar, short articles. Or use the information to re-purpose it for a different market: coaches, consultants, doctors.
5. Make marketing a habit. Marketing must become a habit not an interruption. Make a calendar that specifies what marketing activities you will do, in what frequency and the deadline. This way, your marketing becomes a part of your regular routine and not an interruption of real work. Schedule all your marketing activities including: writing articles, advertising deadlines, traffic building, referral systems, speeches, teleseminars, etc.
