There is no doubt 2020 has changed our perspective about the online world. Making money online is now more than a luxury. The pandemic has made it a necessity. Many professionals are losing jobs which is forcing them to look for alternatives. We are experiencing more growth in the online industry than ever before. However, not everyone who starts their journey becomes successful. Having expertise, strategy, and a solid plan are important, but what is more important is actually learning how to truly solve problems for people around the world.
So, ask yourself this question: “What is one thing I can solve that will make an impact in the lives of others?” Keep your eyes and ears open. People around the world will always complain about something. When they do, come up with a solution for those complaints.
Keep in mind that although you can figure out how to make money online by doing your own research, having guidance from an experienced professional can not only accelerate the process, but it can help you avoid many issues that could end up costing both time and money. When choosing to hire a mentor, be mindful and also do your research as there are many scams and methods that promise results, but they are unable to deliver them.
In this article, we are going to discuss different ways to make money online that really work if you put in the time. Fair warning, all methods involve selling because in reality, everything in life is a negotiation of some sort, and some of the most successful people in the world became successful by selling something even if that means selling themselves to create influence.
How to make money on social media
Social media is a popular way to make money online, and I am not talking about MLM (Multi Level Marketing) although you could make it work, but their techniques are completely different than what I am about to teach you.
To create your own brand on social media and make real money, you have to choose a niche, generate traffic, and then sell your products and services to your audience. The main key is to actually become the best problem solver in your niche.
If you do not want to develop your own product or service, you can also sell for other people in the form of affiliate marketing. Below you will learn how to get money with affiliate products, sell your own physical assets, courses and much more.
- Earn money with a blog
Many people start a blog as a way to express their views or as a creative activity.
However, there are plenty of cases where people not only making a living from their blogs, but even turning them into huge companies.
Not all bloggers will reach these figures, but if you take the right approach, you have a good chance of making money with your blog.
Remember, it is important to have a long-term vision. You won’t make money right away, but as your writing improves, your skills grow, and your site gets more traffic, your probability of success increases.
If your goal is to start a blog to make money online, here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Choose an enduring topic like health, finances, relationships, hobbies, or personal growth;
- Always try to create the best content on any chosen topic;
- Learn about SEO and rank your site in search engines;
- Network with popular bloggers and other influencers in your space.
The tips above will help you move in the right direction. Once you have a reputable blog that gets a high volume of traffic, you will have many opportunities to monetize your site such as:
- Paid advertising
- Sell your own courses and products
- Sell affiliate products
- Become an affiliate marketer
An affiliate marketer pretty much sells other brands to their audience and earns a commission doing so.
Although it may not seem like a great income generator, there are billionaire sites based only on affiliate income. Once you master the skill, you can earn really good money.
- Create an e-commerce website
E-commerce sites have been exploding in popularity in recent years. With the prevalence of platforms like WordPress, Shopify and Woo Commerce, creating an e-commerce site couldn’t be easier.
If you prefer to deal with physical products and sell something tangible, then opening an e-commerce store might be a good option.
- 4. Online coaching, mentoring and consulting
Honestly, this one is my favorite approach. This is what I do for a living and it made a huge difference in my life. As an online coach, people will come to you expecting to learn valuable skills and actionable steps to achieve their goals. The secret to this approach is to polish your expertise and package your offer in a way that can truly make an impact.
For example, I help entrepreneurs and founders close more sales and position themselves as leaders through strategic press releases. I am proficient in sales and I teach people the art of selling everything, including one’s self, business, and even ideas that lead to massive success.
- Create a digital course
It seems that digital courses today are everywhere! So if you have valuable knowledge that someone would be willing to pay for, this could be a great option.
In addition to having your own courses, learning platforms offer the opportunity to become an instructor. It is a unique opportunity to pass on your skills and experience to thousands of people eager to learn about new technologies.
Digital courses can be produced in many different formats, from simple PDF downloads to self-produced video courses that contain dozens of hours of content.
Creating online courses can be a very powerful route. Since it is under your control, there is no limit to the amount of money you can earn.
Like most other methods on this list, digital courses can be integrated into most website styles, including blogs, e-commerce sites, and even affiliate sites.
If you are looking to create a digital course to earn money online, but have not decided on a topic, surveying your audience is a good idea. They can tell you exactly what they would like to learn and what they would be willing to pay.
For example, I am known for the Attract, Convert, Transform (ACT) Method course, a unique methodology designed exclusively by me. The aim of the program is to teach entrepreneurs and business owners a framework, focused on strategic marketing and sales, that they can apply in their own business to reach new heights of success.
