Most people use a computer for entertainment, but it really is a tool for getting money.
You can watch netflix and play games with a computer, or you can use it to earn money.
How can you earn money with a computer? You can use it for writing and programming.
Writing articles for money is a way to use your computer to earn income. There are sites online that will pay you for articles.
Writing articles for income usually means writing content after following instructions. The person requesting the article might have keywords and details about how they want the article written. Writing these types of articles requires extra effort on your part.
You don't just have to write articles for others. Your computer can also be used to write content for yourself. You can setup your own websites and blogs and use your writing talent. You could come up with your own ebook and use a free website to help sell it online.
Your computer can be used for more than playing video games like angry birds or watching movies online. Come up with a plan to spend time on the computer creating your own product. It might be software or an ebook. Just come up with something and start promoting it using the internet.
Even if you don't want to take the extra step of writing your own products, there are affiliate programs that you can join. Affiliate marketing is not easy, it will take work. Get creative and come up with ways to build up an income using your computer.
I was just online the other day and watched a video that showed how to make income through data entry. The amounts of money were not that high, but it seemed like they were making some money. If you are not making money with your computer right now, you should even consider doing something like data entry.
Just getting into the habit of typing faster can be a benefit. You keep practicing and building up your writing muscles and it will become easier to create your own writing. The faster and better your typing skills means more content with more chances to earn money.
Your writing might be for your blog or for your free ebooks. People are using ebooks to drive traffic and make affiliate income. They create good quality ebooks and add links inside. They might even include a resources section at the end with affiliate links.
Now it is time for you to get started with using your computer to earn money. Computers are not just for fun and games, they are used for business, so get with it.

Clicks and Conversions
Clicks and conversions are a big part of the online business. Most people are just focused on getting traffic, but there is a big problem with just getting a lot of traffic. What if they people that click on your offer don't end up buying? You just lost some money.
If you only had two people click on your offer, but one of them ended up taking the offer, this would be ideal. You don't want to waste your money on ads that do not generate conversions.
The truth is that people are different. Someone might see your offer and immediately jump for it, but others see it and they turn up their noses. This is just a part of online marketing. Everybody has their own tastes and desires. One of the issues with online marketing is finding the right audience for what you are attempting to sell or share.
There are always going to be new places to sell stuff. Most people know about the big shopping malls. They brought a lot of different businesses into one central location and allowed people to walk around and buy what they wanted. The shopping mall model had limited space, but now we have the online model and there are not really any limits to the number of products that you can provide.
One of the newer places to market and advertise is on social media sites. These sites bring lots of people online where they can share information. It is also a great place for online ad people to promote products.
One of the big benefits of using paid social media ads is that they have plenty of people ready to view the ads. Have you ever been on facebook? They get demographic data so it makes it really easy to find the prospects that an advertiser is looking for.
The bottom line is that you can get lots of traffic and clicks on an offer, but if they are not taking action and buying to getting into your lead funnel, you are wasting money.
