  11. Hi Nirmala Ji!
    Ravi here . As a SEO consultant I have been passing this idea of making money albeit with a small twist to many webmasters and also to freelancing lot who keep calling me to guide them to a genuine online job. I have always suggested that if any youngster has a saved little bit of money then he or she should opt for a classified (here comes the twist) and attach a Blog to it! Once the site develops a decent traffic then go for the Monetization using Adsense or similar program! Don’t forget to keep updating the Blog on regular intervals to maintain an optimum content quality which is required to run Content based Advertising such as Adsense & also the blog compensates for the almost non existent quality content intrinsic to Classified Sites.
    Hope some of your readers will make use of the idea to take their Online Earning up by a notch. I may also add that the start up cost is quite low & rewards in long run will be quite good if one is willing to work on it a bit!

    Thanks again!
