Thursday March 30 – Earning Money on the Internet
Pick 3 of the companies that you could make money with, look at the information and summarize it in a google doc or spreadsheet. Include information about what is involved in making money. For example on youtube, you could talk about what creators have to do to earn a reasonable income, and what are their costs. What are possible risks (like driving for Uber or hosting for Airbnb)? If you can, include some sample calculations using the numbers given on the site. You can discuss what fees are charged, then make up some numbers and approximate fees. If you have other companies you are interested in researching, you can talk to me!
