I've been trying to make money online for years now and accomplished nothing but pissing away what little money I have. Here's my current situation: I'm a university student studying abroad and I have lots of time on my hands, but not a lot of money. I'm not looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, nor am I looking for a fiverr scheme that has little profit potential, just something to start me off, with a goal of just seeing *some* extra money coming in. Something I could build on once I had a foundation.
Honestly, I'd be happy just getting an extra hundred dollars a month if it were possible. I've tried a lot of things in the past; Clickbank, which resulted in them sending me a cheque for about 30 dollars a year after I gave up on it, (and I had spent more than that on advertising, of course) adwords (when keywords weren't $10 a click), which resulted in a couple sales, but still nowhere near the amount I invested in advertising, Facebook ads, which I didn't succeed at selling anything through, and blogging + adsense, which got my adsense account to about 45 dollars over the course of a six to nine month period.
I'm not afraid to put in the effort, and I *WANT* desperately to get some sort of "success" from my endeavours; when I was trying to make adsense work, I put at least a couple hundred hours into it, but it just didn't pan out: some months getting nothing at all, other months getting only a handful of clicks, either way, not surpassing the $100 mark that you need to hit to even get paid
My main problem is, I don't have a ton of cash to buy expensive software to magically suck traffic into my projects. I bought scrapebox, it was just about all I could afford at the time.
Anyone have any suggestions for
1) something that is still feasable
and
2) doesn't requre a thousand dollars (or more) of software to do? I'm not afraid to spend a little money, but I don't have the capital to do something big (I mean, after all, aren't most people attracted to making money online because they're pretty much broke?)
My budget is pretty tight. Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated
