What comes to your mind when you think about making money online? Many people think of instant, easy get rich schemes.
Eg many think that starting a blog will automatically make you millions. And when they start and realize it is not as easy as they thought, they give up.
Before I start the strategies, I want to mention that no money comes easy. You will need to put in work, keep learning and have a plan for what you are doing.
Online work is any work that is done via the internet. In this case I don't mean multi level marketing, crypto currency or these other perceptions of online work.
We will be looking at how you can sell your skills, online, and make money.
I have personally made money online by:
Selling digital products
Giving advice
Digital marketing
Now let's get started:
1. Freelancing
Freelancing involves selling your skills online in sites like Fiverr, Upwork and even social media. Eg if you are a video editor, you can provide your skills and expertise and sell them online.
What you have to do to get clients is to promote your skills via Freelancing sites. They include:
You can also promote your services via social media.
2. Affiliate marketing
This involves the sale of other people's products/services. These products/services are called affiliate products and you become an affiliate to the vendor.
This is a great strategy because you can work from home, and you do not need to have your own products or services.
Promote the affiliate products via your website or social media. You can read more about affiliate marketing here.
3. Content Creation
This involves content such has blog posts, short stories/articles, YouTube Videos, Tiktok videos, Instagram videos etc. When you create the content, then you go ahead and monetize it.
Monetizing is simply finding ways to make money from your content. Eg you can set up google ads for both You Tube and a blog website.
You can also sell your services/products through your blog or affiliate products.
4. Set up an online store
Via an online store you can sell digital products such as ebooks, printables and physical products such as print on demand tshirts.
There are many sites that allow you to set up online stores. They include Etsy, shopify, printify, wix.com.
All you have to do is decide what you want to sell.
5. SAAS business
Software as a service (SAAS) simply involves creating a website that gives a service that is sold on a monthly basis. Simply put, for people to access the service, they have to pay a monthly fee.
Popular examples include Netflix and Showmax where you have to pay a monthly see to watch movies.
Another great example is WorkPay, a HR management, payroll processing and secure salary disbursement software that you have to pay for on a monthly basis.
