 9 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

 

 

1. BECOME AN AFFILIATE MARKETER

COMPANIES THAT HAVE AFFILIATE PROGRAMS”

One of the easiest and my favorite way to make a money online is affiliate marketing. An affiliate is essentially someone who receives a commission for selling products for other companies, whether it’s on their own site or through another channel .

The best part is that you don’t have to develop any products yourself, just sell other people’s products. Affiliate networks like ClickBank or Shareasale offer a varied selection of products to promote. Some of the highly varied categories, such as Business, Food, and Health and Fitness, can make people millionaires.

Becoming an online affiliate can create a great passive income for you. A lot of businesses are willing to share a portion of their profits with you to promote their products. If you look at the bottom of the website of most of the major stores (Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, Amazon, etc) you will notice they have a link to their affiliate page.

If you have a personal website with a large following, this could be an easy way to make some additional money. If you like to leave customer reviews on websites, stop doing it for free.

Word-of-mouth advertising is still a huge lead generator for many companies. For example, Amazon affiliates can potentially rake in huge amounts of commission dollars if they work at it. Simply sign up as an affiliate to sell the company’s products using your special referral link, and you will get a commission for each product sold without lifting a finger.

Commissions range from product to product and also goes up in stages according to how many product sales your clicks generate. The commission tier is from 1% to 10%. That can add up to some serious amounts of cash each month if you’re promoting products with a high rate of commission (Home & Garden is one such product area with high commissions).

 

2. CREATE AN E-COMMERCE STORE

With solutions such as Shopify and Woocommerce you can start your own online store for a very low investment and thanks to methods such as dropshipping you don’t even need to worry about things like delivery or warehousing.

Sell handmade crafts:

Online sites like ArtFire and Etsy make it easy for crafters to sell quality handmade items, like custom jewelry or personalized gifts. If you have a hobby of making crafts, you could turn it into a full-time business.

Become a specialized retailer:

There’s an audience for everything, whether it’s making dollhouse furniture or creating organic dog food. With a specialty e-commerce store, you can reach customers who are looking for your specific products. You’ll need is a web-hosting service with a shopping cart feature or with e-commerce software. You can even work with vendors to ship products to customers on your behalf, which means you don’t need to own a lot of inventory.

Start An Amazon FBA Business:

Not exactly like the Ecommerce Stores, but very similar. FBA stands for “fulfillment by Amazon.” You contract with a manufacturer, then ship the mechandise to Amazon. Amazon then warehouses your product, fulfills your orders, and also provides customer service to your clients, so you don’t have to. You can list your products on Amazon’s website and when a sale comes in they will prepare your product to be sent out and then deliver your product to the customer. You’ll benefit from the powerful online presence and customer base of Amazon.

 

3. BECOME A SOCIAL MEDIA CONSULTANT

Large corporations and business firms can easily hire a full-time staff coordinator or consulting agency to run their Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts, but smaller businesses frequently have to manage their own marketing on social media. But, because they have a great number of other responsibilities, many times business owners are too overwhelmed, busy or undereducated to spend a lot of time on developing their social media strategy.

As a consultant for social media, you can effectively steer them in the right direction concerning ideal tactics, implementing schedules, and posting content regarding their target audience. Therefore, as their business grows, so will yours. You would charge a flat monthly rate to develop their social media advertising and possibly give them a 30 day FREE trial to show how much your consultation can benefit their business.

 

4. BUILD APPS

Mobile applications are more popular than ever. Because smartphones are everywhere, the demand for new and creative apps is increasing in popularity . Between Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone market, people are using countless apps everyday. And, most of them are selling right and left.

If you have a great idea and happen to know coding, you can run with it and create your app yourself. If you just have an idea and don’t know the ins and outs of how to turn it into a reality, there are plenty of software developers looking to collaborate with people on app creation.

Taking the time to develop and sell a smartphone app may be worth your while since it’s a very lucrative way to earn money online. The apps cost almost nothing to actually develop and don’t involve any shipping or storage costs, which works to expand your overall profit margin. Well performing apps can make thousands in ad revenue each month for their creators, making them another great passive income strategy.

 

5. BECOME A PROFESSIONAL FREELANCER

Freelancing via the Internet is a great way for experts in their individual trades to help a variety of clients overall. Small businesses and freelancers offer proposals, ideas, or bids, whereby the buyers can easily choose what they want and need.

Sites like Elance or Upwork and Fiverr cover just about everything including writing content, creating graphic design, programming, and data entry.

 

6. SELL PHOTOS

Another way for you to make money online is selling photos. If you love photography and taking pictures, there are people who will pay for those pictures.

There are online sites, like Fotolia and Shutterstock, that will buy your stock photos. It could be an easy way to make some passive income.

 

7. BUY AND SELL DOMAINS

“BUYING AND SELLING DOMAINS”

Another one of my favorites. Many people buy and sell domain names to earn money online since it takes very little time or investment. You can purchase a domain at its registration price or even much cheaper, using special codes or sales, and then resell it for a profit.

But, it always pays to do your homework first on websites like Godaddy, Afternic, Sedo, or other domain auction websites in order to get a good idea of what’s popular in terms of domain names. An ideal way to find really good names is to check out terminated lists that offer many expired names and have made their way back into the pool for people to buy.

A good site for this is expireddomains.net where you can put in your desired keyword that you want in your domain name and a long list of domain options will appear.

 

8. CREATE WEB DESIGNS:

A web developer is someone who can build a website from the ground up, start to finish. In order to be able to do this, you will need to learn how to code.

Web developers can earn decent money, but to become good at it, you really need to know your stuff, and this can take time. If you know HTML and have a good eye for design, you can launch a service to create attractive, easy-to-use websites for small businesses.

Put your skills to good use for business owners who want to take their online presence to the next level. Build a comprehensive portfolio, and then create your own website to show it off and attract a steady stream of clients.

The great thing about being a web developer is that you can work from pretty much anywhere in the world, if you work for yourself that is. You’re not tied down to one location.

 

9. BECOME AN EXPERT BLOGGER

If you’re passionate about writing and feel strongly about certain subjects, you can type your way to riches by creating your own blog.

Blogging is big business, many moms blog daily about their children or pets and turn their daily activities into a very lucrative business. After a while, when you build an audience, you can make money by promoting affiliate products or by selling advertising space on your webpage, either through Adsense or private companies.

Another way to make money from a blog is by creating your own online course. There are so many subjects to blog about, the possibilities are limitless.
