The 5 best ways to start making money online fast
The year of 2020 as we all know has probably been one of the worst year for many of us due to numerous reasons. The most important being COVID-19 and its affects it has had on our lifestyle. The lockdowns, restriction in travelling, shortages of daily supplies and much more. But for a few people it has also been a helpful year. And by helpful I mean, it has helped some people like me discover more about ourselves. From a long time we all have been trying to focus on ourselves and this year gifted us that opportunity to discover and grow one’s self. This year has given us the opportunity to go deeper and find out what could a person’s passion, interest or any hidden talent be and I was lucky enough to be a part of those few people.
Due to COVID-19 a lot of people lost their jobs, a lot of businesses were destroyed and maybe you are one of those people who lost their jobs or maybe you just want to change your boring job and are currently sitting at home and don’t have any income stream in search for a job. Then an idea strikes you, and that idea is to start working online from the comfort of your home. I had been through the same stage and now I can share with you everything on how I was able to work from home and earn money online using these 5 methods which will for sure provide you with a stable and passive income for years to come. Maybe this could really change your life and help you start a successful online business.
When we talk about making money online, we mainly have 2 paths or options;
Option 1: Going to some websites online and doing petty and silly tasks like clicking on links, completing a survey, clicking on ads and some boring stuff for like 3 or 4 hours and earn a maximum of $5. This is the option I don’t really prefer and I find it a complete waste of your precious time.
Option 2: This path is where you can really go on and build your online business and when we say building an online successful business we have 5 strategies or ideas. Almost 99% of the successful online business use these 5 methods or strategies to make money online. To sum up these strategies we have;
1. Content Creation: It involves creating content for the views or your audience. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Pinterest and Reddit will help you in gaining a huge audience as there are millions of people using these platforms on a daily basis. Creating a blog is also one the best and most effective way to grow your online business. Blogging will help you learn the skill of writing and attracting people and also help you sell products through blogging (affiliate marketing with the help of creating your own website and blogging) and you could monetize your blog after reaching certain number of views on your blog page or website by running ads. You could start a blog for free with the help of using google sites, bloggers.com or any other free hosting service. The next best platform is YouTube because YouTube has more than 30 Billion viewers using it every month. You could easily make more than $5000 in a month by creating new content or copying content from other channels and customizing it according to your channel.
2. Freelancing: It is basically providing and selling your skills online to online clients. For example, let’s say you know how to edit videos professionally. Now you can use this skill of yours by providing it to others online as a service. Graphic designing, data entry, logo designing or any other skill you possess could be used by you to sell it as a service online and make money online. You can post your services on websites like Fiverr, Upwork, Freelancer.com and many more.
3. Affiliate Marketing: In this method, you simply promote products for someone else and then you earn a commission when someone buys that product. Websites like Clickbank, Digistore, JVZoo are some of the famous affiliate marketing websites where you will find thousands of products to promote for a very good commission. You could start affiliate marketing for free by starting your own websites or blog, promoting your affiliate product links on social media and many other ways. This is personally my favorite method of making money online and with the help of affiliate marketing anyone can make more than $500 per month in the first month of starting your journey.
4. SAAS Services: This service is simply publishing a service online. A web application where you can charge members on a monthly basis. Any service such as an email-marketing application, link shortening application or as such can be created by you and sold to different clients in the form of monthly subscriptions who are in need of such applications or services. You could easily make more than $600 per month passive income without doing anything if you have at least 100 customers.
5. Online Store/E-com Store: When we talk about an online store it could either be a store where you are selling a physical product such as shoes, sports equipment or anything else or a store where you are selling a digital product such as a software application, online courses, and etcetera. Drop shipping is a great way to start where you could make a lot of money online.
These are the main strategies that you should work in either one of them or mix them up together to build a real successful online business. One important point of starting your online business is that working online is like working offline. Just like building a physical store, paying its rent, paying the staff members, etcetera there are steps and procedures in building an online business. I personally feel that for a beginner starting with affiliate marketing or freelancing is the best option as these 2 strategies can be started for free without any investment and they provide you early result and passive income. The first step you should take is by creating a website or a blog for free where you can post content on from where you can grow your online business and mix up the other strategies and generate passive income. You will have to work hard especially in the first period to be successful in the offline business and the same goes with the online business. There is no magic trick or any shortcut that will make you rich in a day or month. “Work hard in silence, let success make the noise”. Working hard doesn’t mean working 10 hours a day or so or even if you are in a job I would want you to continue with your job. Just working only 2 hours per day is sufficient to become successful in making money online. So what are you waiting for go ahead and start your blog right away and keep posting content and witness the magic the internet has which can help you make money online.
