How to make money online

Today, more and more people have understood that money has moved online. So if you are wondering  how to make money online  from home, find out that it has never been easier.

It is enough to have a few hours to dedicate to your activity every day. However, what you should know is that nothing happens overnight. In order to get results you have to dedicate yourself to your project.

Any business, whether  physical or online, begins to bear fruit only after it is established. So buckle up with a little patience and let's see  how to make money online:

1. Build your personal brand

If you want to make a lot of money online, find that fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how extroverted you are) YOU can be monetized. Be an influencer and see  how they make money online  easily and without much effort, including children who have not yet reached the age of majority. 

All you have to do is be as visible as possible online: on Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok. Where there is room for popularity, you must be too. The bigger your community, the more you'll earn!

2. Open a YouTube channel

More and more people are earning on Youtube today. The good thing is that you don't even have to invest a lot to be successful. This channel is very popular among young people and children. So if you can make materials for them, you can quickly monetize them.

The most popular YouTube channels are those of gamers. If you are not a gamer, maybe you like making slime or ASMR. At socialblade.com you can check exactly which domains are the best paying.

3. Drop Shipping

Although dropshipping (at least as a term) is not so well known in Romania, it is a very good method to earn fast money online, without much effort. According to Google Trends, the popularity of this activity is increasing every day. 

But what is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a business model where you promote a product and "clap" with the customer, but don't worry about warehousing or even shipping. The supplier is the one who stores, packs and ships the product on your behalf. You can use amazon, ebay, wish, aliexpress (as external platforms) and even olx, lajumate and other internal platforms. Oberlo is, again, a good option. 

The best way to do dropshipping is through advertising on Facebook, or through influencers. The latter can send direct messages to potential customers on social networks.

4. Affiliate Marketing

If we talk about dropshipping, find out that affiliate marketing is very close in principle. The difference is that you organically (or not) insert an affiliate link to an affiliate client's product on your blog or any frequently used social media channel. There are platforms like profitshare or 2performant that help you a lot in this regard. There you will also learn  how to make money online  by promoting other people's products. 

The more you participate and have a bigger and more active community, the better your chances of winning!

5. Take an online course

If you have knowledge in a field and want to add value, then you need to take a course to sell online. It's much easier for your clients to set their own schedule (time and space) in which to learn. The Internet gives us this great mobility! 

And do not think that it is mandatory to invest in a specific platform. You can very simply use the sites that host such courses and are willing to give you a good percentage of the profits. 

Your only concern should be delivering the most valuable content to the learner!

If you want to learn more about taking an online course, schedule a 1-on-1 meeting with us and learn more about how you, too, can start an online business from your own passion.

6. Make a blog!

If you have a blog, you automatically have many monetization tools at your fingertips: from becoming a personal brand to affiliate marketing.

Of course, you don't have to expect overnight results. And in the case of a blog you have to think carefully before choosing your niche. Also, you need a community, and for that you need to be able to do quality online marketing.

The most common ways to earn money online through blogging are:

  • affiliate marketing
  • contests for bloggers
  • Niche Freelance Blogging
  • selling   e- books
  • Sale of online courses.
  • Coaching and consulting activities.
  • SPONSORSHIP
  • Paid Membership Plans
  • sponsored reviews
  • donations

7. Independent work

If you know how to do something that others would find useful, then you can offer "micro jobs" online. In fact, what you do as a freelancer is to sell your services directly to the interested entity, without being employed. The most popular jobs are content/writing, interior design, online graphics, coding, material editing, etc.

There are many sites for each freelance industry. For example, if you want to earn from writing or web graphics, you can use platforms like  Fiverr , Freelancer, or Upwork. 

To make money online as a freelancer, you need to start by building a strong portfolio. This can often mean offering free services to certain well-known companies as well. 

Once you build this portfolio, you can start reaching out to larger clients to increase your income.

8. Online translations

You do not necessarily need to be an authorized translator to do this. However, what you will definitely need is to know at least one foreign language at an advanced level. If it's also a less popular one, that's even better. Mandarin, Japanese, and Swedish are some examples of languages ​​that can earn you significant income if you know them.

You can't use tools like google translate for this job because you will lose clients fast. However, what you can do is use apps to enhance your knowledge.

9. Sell things online

If you need money fast, you can do a good job of cleaning the house a bit. You'd be surprised how many people might need your stuff.

You can use well-known platforms such as olx or you can even use the tools provided by Facebook (marketplace). 

Also, Facebook sales groups have become more and more popular! Just make sure you take the best photos possible and don't post anything broken or give a false description.

10. Sell photos or videos online

Everyone has a good camera (at least on their phone). Of course, if you have a DSLR, this business idea is even more suitable for you.

However, to make money online with photos and videos you don't need much. Mainly you must like to photograph various things and have minimal knowledge of editing. You can then upload them to certain platforms, like  iStockPhoto .

The more interesting the photos, the better!

11. Develop an app

If you're not an IT person, then you probably feel the need to skip this point. Nothing else bad! Find out that today there are many independent platforms that teach you step by step how to make an app, no need to know what coding skills.

When it comes to monetizing your app, it's best to add it to the App Store and Google Play. You can start with a free app until you learn how to develop it further. You can then add some paid options after you see exactly what volume of people you attract.

12. Online trading

More and more people are investing online. If you feel that you have a good intuition and like to follow trends and numbers, then this may be the best option for you.

However, if you want quick results and tend to be impulsive, you might be better off concentrating on something else because if you jump right in, without sufficient documentation up front, you risk wasting not only time, but also… money. 

When trading online, it is good to be a patient person who carefully analyzes the performance of various markets.

13. Earn money online with surveys

Although they don't necessarily make a lot of money, there are people who enjoy the money from surveys.

There are many apps and online platforms that offer money for completing opinion surveys. The most popular questions refer to consumption and purchasing habits. In general, from here you can get about 50 euos/month and some discount vouchers. 

However, since you don't spend more than a few minutes, you can get the money from your coffee!

14. Sell domains and websites online

If we were still talking about trading, here's another slightly less conventional trading idea. If you have SEO knowledge and good intuition, you can be very successful selling domains and websites online. This technique can bring you thousands of euros per month.

What you have to do is buy domains online that would have a high probability of being bought at some point, based on the name. Big companies are willing to pay a lot for a particular domain they want.

There are also portals where you can sell such sites and domains. An example is Sedo.com

15. Test products and perform tasks

Another effective way to make money online is through user testing platforms. Example: test user.com 

These platforms pay you to review various sites and give feedback on their ease of use. You also get several things that you need to keep in mind when you access the sites indicated by them.

You don't make a lot of money doing this activity, but you don't have to have who knows what skills either.

16. Sell on Pinterest

Few people know that you can also earn money with Pinterest. Most of the people use this app to find interesting photos and get inspired. However, Pinterest is an e-commerce giant. 

How do you make money online  from Pinterest? Simple: testing products that you then present there by associating a link. It's still a kind of affiliate marketing, but with a very high success rate!

17. Sell Greeting Cards Online

If you have the ability to choose the perfect greeting cards for various occasions, then you could make a lot of money online from greeting cards. 

When you choose to do this, it's best to target a specific market segment that has an interest in marketing products of this type. For example, you can prepare greeting cards for healthcare professionals who want to thank patients for choosing their clinic.

18. Manufacture and sell handmade products.

More and more people buy handmade products online. From personalized christening kits and candles to magnets, lichen paintings and even baby books, photo albums and pacifier chains, anything that can be personalized beckons.

And after all, why not? 

Unique things are much more valuable and appreciated than things that can be easily made in factories.

19. Personalized gifts

Whether you make something yourself or have a talent for choosing gifts, you can sell your services online. Perhaps you are very good at understanding human psychology, and then you can offer advice on selecting the best gifts for your loved ones.

Or maybe you like to wrap products beautifully. Be that as it may, this domain is more and more sought after! Many people would like someone else to take care of their gifts!

20. Review music online for money

Finally, if you want to get paid to listen to music, find out that this is possible too! There are platforms like Slicethepie.com that are willing to pay you if you give them a review in return. 

In fact, what they want is for you to listen to certain artists and say how much you liked them and if you see a future for them.
