The truth is there are lots of scams out there and we can’t tell if it is real or not but today we have compiled 10 of the legit ways to make money online even from the comfort of your home.
Making money online isn’t hard even though most people these days have awareness of the huge sums bloggers, online brands and influencers make daily but it’s still very possible to make money online because lot’s of people still think making money online is not real or too good to be true so in some way you will still be one of the first if you take action today after reading this post, here are some of the legit ways to make money online.
1. Blogging
Starting a blog is very profitable even in 2021 where there are more than `500 million blogs out of more than 1.7 Billion websites on the internet’ -hosting tribunal. Though starting a blog won’t be as easy as starting it 5-10 years ago but it shouldn’t also be hard if you are committed and you follow the best practices possible, top blogs like `HuffPost earn $2,330,000 monthly with Pay Per Click and Techcrunch by Michael Arrington $800,000 monthly through Advertising Banners.’ -Income diary.
Starting a blog is not hard nor is it expensive for a starter but when your website traffic grows you will be required to buy a larger hosting package, for starters shared hosting is usually at the price of $2-$5/month but if you are constantly viewing this great site you will get special offers like this shared hosting with great features for just $1 for 3 months.
I highly do not recommend free blog sites like blogspot and wordpress subdomains because on the long run issues arise and I myself have experienced it when I tried to switch because I was getting decent traffic and I felt it was time to switch to a professional domain but after switching I lost over 50% of my traffic and it was really painful because I spent years building my audience, I wouldn’t want you to experience what I experienced, starting a blog would cost $1.99 if you use the special offer above and buy a cheap domain like .xyz,.site,.online or .tech, though these domains are not highly recommended compared to the basic used world domains like .com,.org and .net but they are certainly better than a free subdomain, if you are going for the cheap domains I recommend you go for .xyz because it’s easy to remember and it’s one of the top 10 domain used world wide, [Google’s parent company alphabet uses the .xyz extension].
2. Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is also very profitable especially when you have the right audience, Affiliate marketing is simply selling other people’s product (Digital or Physical) and getting paid for it, I know lots of people who earns lots of money from this for example Pat Flynn from smartpassiveincome.com earns ‘ more than $153,000 with his blog through affiliate commissions’ -Income diary.
3. Start a youtube channel
Starting a YouTube channel is one of the simplest to start as it takes about 10-15 minutes to start, though it may be tough to get viewers and subscribers but it’s also very profitable for example Ryan Guan who is 9 years old and reviews toys on his YouTube channel Ryan’s world ‘had earned close to $30 million dollars’ -Forbes.
4. Become an influencer
Becoming an influencer is not just posting your everyday life updates or taking pictures and showing off your newest car but you have to put in your time and effort in it, post original and relevant content and be consistent, best to start with is Instagram though there are many others but I recommend this, this is also very profitable for example, Ronaldo with more than 300 million followers on Instagram ‘earns $1.6 million per post’ -insider.
5. Answer online paid surveys
Answering online paid online surveys is very simple and some survey sites like Swagbucks and toluna allow teens of ages 13 or older to join their site, answering paid surveys is basically sharing your thoughts and opinions on a topic and getting paid for it, if you want to get started here are some sites to try, a good survey site pays more than $0.75 an hour but $1.75 on average, this is low compared to most countries minimum wage and can not make you rich but in your free time you can earn some extra cash just by answering simple questions.
6. Publish an ebook
Publishing an EBook is relatively simple and it’s just publishing a book but this time in a digital and downloadable format, it’s is also profitable see Amanda Hocking, who writes “paranormal romance” and fantasy novels, she has sold well more than a million books on Amazon, generating over $2 million in sales -thebalancesmb, learn about starting a profitable Ebook business and marketing it.
7. Create an online course
You know something you can teach why can’t you earn from that, starting an online course is teaching beginners or students something that you know, you don’t need to be an expert in that subject but you should have at least general knowledge of what you’re teaching, you can start an online course on your website or sites like Udemy, Coursify, Thinkific and Skillshare.
8. Become a freelancer
Becoming a freelancer is quite easy though getting orders as a starter may be tough at first but i recommend you create more than 1 GIG, You can start freelancing on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork and freelancer, as a starter with no tech knowledge you can create simple GIGs like Logo Design and File Conversions which can be easily done online with no expert knowledge.
9. Sell domains
Selling Domains is also a profitable way to make money online and can earn you a lot with little investment of less than $10, all you need to do is buy a domain and resell it for a profitable price, You can sell your domains on site like SEDO or DAN.
10. Start an e-commerce store
Starting an E-Commerce store is simply creating a website to sell physical or even a digital product, you don’t need to have the product you’re selling but make sure you can get the product when a buyer orders for it, E-Commerce is very profitable and even on Forbes billionaire list there are big E-Commerce sites like Amazon, Walmart, EBay and rakuteen that shows that ECommerce is very profitable.
