Money is great, and it makes the world go round. Lots of it really can buy happiness perhaps maybe not Joy. That is why in this post, We will be showing you how to start up something online that will be worth your time, energy, and happiness.
There are over a billion posts worldwide from bloggers and writers on how to make money online, but very very very few will ever be successes. So, we at Thinky Solutions, have taken our time to research , and we have found some online businesses that will make you quit your job in the long run, because you can actually get enough money off these businesses to buy a car like Linda Ikeji, Train your children, and even go on expensive holidays.
Guess what? I earned €462 in the first 15 days of March, 2013. This equals $622 and N97, 000 in US dollars and Naira (Nigerian currency) respectively. This is the first time am earning such in 15 days. It is more than x2 of January 2011 earnings. Even during December 2012, which remains the month with the highest earning so far ($1,221.95), I was able to earn €409 in the first 15 days.
1) Blogging:
The best kind of businesses requires no capital.

On this post, I will be talking about how to create wealth blogging, and show you people that have made money blogging. The art of blogging itself is a skill, and such that requires your passion, persistence and patience. I started blogging in 2006, after attending a one-on-one training. I got excited, and began creating multiple blogs. It was fun, but after 3 months, I lost the passion. I ran out of articles to update, and was discouraged because I have little or no readers. I was able to generate up to 12 dollars in my google adsense account, and needed 88 dollars to complete 100 dollars so I can initiate my first payout. This was where i gave up. The task looked insurmountable because my drive was the money then, not a passion to write. I looked at my few follower-ship, and also at my lack of original content, and i calculated that it could take me forever to get up to 100 dollars.
Fast Forward to 2013 now, 7 years after, I look at the people we started blogging together (with little follower-ship then), and how far they have gone. We will take a look at two bloggers who began as early as 2006,2007,2008, and where they are now.
- +Linda Ikeji : Nigeria's number one blogger, now in her early 30's. She began blogging in November 2006, with the passion to talk about things happening in the country and beyond. She wasn't in it for the money. Gradually, people began to love her gossip news, and first hand information. She soon added google adsense to her blog after a friend told her she could make cash from blogging. Years after, this is what she posted on her blog while posing with her brand new car; money made from blogging.

I put this up for two reasons:
1. To show off of course...why else? Lol
And 2, to encourage other ladies out there to keep working hard and keep believing in themselves. You don't need any aristo to give you anything...any woman with will and drive can give herself anything she wants!
By this time two years ago, I didn't have much...but I never stopped believing in myself and I never stopped working hard. I can't even begin to count how many businesses I put my hands into before one paid off -Blogging! I told myself that I will make it in this life one day as my own woman and on my own terms, that no man will ever take away my dignity...and I did it. So can you! Yes, you! You have the power! And with God on your side, you are unstoppable!
This is probably a good time to say this... I'm starting a youth empowerment programme called I'd rather be SELF MADE, but I will tell y'all more about it later.
Lastly, if you've ever opened this blog to read its content, thank you! You can't begin to imagine how much you've changed my life! Kisses!!!.

Read a statement from an interview she did and posted on her blog,
Interviewer: So money doesn't freak you? You seem to talk a lot about it. You mentioned once that money is chasing you.
Linda: (Laughs) Yes I did, but I was just trying to make a point. When I was running my magazine I used to go to a telecoms company begging them for adverts. They gave me no attention. Sometimes I would not even go pass their reception. But now they are the ones chasing me to advertise on my blog. Sometimes I do shakara for them sef. (laughs). I'm happy I have money but it doesn't freak me. For instance I drive a Camry but I can afford a Range Rover. But the thing is; am I buying a Range because I need it or because I want to show people I'm making money? I can afford to live on the Island but I live at home with my parents in Surulere. I get a lot of flak for still living at home at my age, but who cares? Sometimes you have to find a balance between people's expectations of you and your own expectations of yourself.

Interviewer:Secrets to having a successful blog?
Linda:Be passionate about it. Work hard. Be consistent. Be interesting. And finally, make the blog personal. Let it be a reflection of who you are. Instead of being anonymous, let people know the person behind the blog. It helps.
Here is what Jide had to say about his revenue from Google adsense and blogging on his blog post:
"
Google Adsense remains the easiest source of income for me on the internet for now. It lets me make money online from my blog with ease even while sleeping. All I do is ensure that I keep publishing quality blog posts that attract good traffic from the search engines, while also making sure I stay away from Google Adsense forbidden content.
