The trend of making money online seems to be increasing with every passing day and there is a pretty wide range of options out there to make money online. Some of the most common and popular ways are the following ones.
- Blogging: Blogging is one of the most popular and effective ways to make money online. When you do blogging there is a wide range of activities you can do with your blogs in order to make money. You could work with different ad networks like Google Adsense, Outbrain, taboola, etc. You could sell advertising places on your blog or post some articles spreading the word about different businesses/websites that will be more than willing to pay you for such services. The more popular your blog is higher the rates you would be charging for such services.
- Freelancing: There are millions of people all over the world who are working as a freelancer and living pretty good lives. It gives a great opportunity to work independently and most of the time you will be working on your own terms and whenever you want. There are some pretty good platforms out there that you can join in order to start your career as a freelancer. If you are just starting up then Fiverr would be a great place to start and when you know some tricks and secrets to success as a freelancer then you may join some bigger freelancing networks like freelancer and Upwork etc.
- YouTube: If you have some skills, offer something informative and helpful, or can do something interesting then you may start a YouTube channel and earn from this wonderful source as well. One thing you should keep in mind when working on YouTube that it is a very competitive market at the moment and you may find it pretty hard to make any money from your YouTube channel especially at the start. In recent YouTube updates, YouTube channels are not eligible to monetize their videos unless they reach 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watch time on their videos. So you should understand that it would take some time to reach this milestone. So the first few weeks or maybe months would be difficult and would require lots of patience. But if you can produce helpful and watchable content then your subscribers would surely increase steadily and you would also get watch time on your videos. Do something in which you have an interest and you like something doing and try to produce something new to the audience, it would surely help you grow as a YouTuber in the long run.
- Affiliate Marketing: Affiliate marketing another widely known way to make money online and the opportunities are also huge in this medium as well. In order to be an effective affiliate marketer, you should have a platform to reach a large audience. It may be through a website/blog or maybe even with a social media account or maybe a youtube channel. If you have a famous website/blog or have a pretty good following on your social media accounts or have plenty of subscribers on your youtube channel, you are certain to make money with your affiliate marketing efforts. There is a very wide range of affiliate programs out there and almost every online business/Company offers some sort of affiliate programs. You just have to choose the right programs which is related to your niche and which provide higher commissions and you are good to go. In order to find the right affiliate program, you may join different affiliate networks like cj.com, shareasale.com, etc. You may also find affiliate programs by doing some research on google. If are active in the IT industry and looking to promote an affiliate program then one of the better affiliate programs that you could join would be this affiliate program, which is free to join and offer a pretty wide range of services including domain registration, web hosting, dedicated servers, web design and development, mobile app development and promotion, etc. So if you have a website/blog or social media account which can reach a large number of people who might be interested in such services, you are almost certain to make money from this particular affiliate program.
- Domain Buying Selling: Buying and selling domains which are also known as domain flipping is also a pretty effective way to make very decent money online. You just have to find the right domain names to buy and do some work on them and then sell them with profit. There are also domains available to buy on the internet and you may find such domains on domain buying selling platforms like flippa.com or you may also find them with the help of google. There is a wide range of expired domains out there that might have pretty popular in the past and were known to a large number of people. These domains would be perfect to buy as they already are likely to have plenty of backlinks and lots of people are already know about the domain. You should make a similar type of website after getting that domain and this would surely prove very profitable to you when you decide to sell it.
- Online Trading: In this list, I would also like to add another method of making online money which has some risk involved to it and you should do it after getting reasonable training. It is online trading where you buy and sell different commodities including forex, gold, etc. It can be very profitable but it can also lead to some loss and well so do it very carefully and do it after getting some training from the experts.
