      Easy Ways to Make Money Online

    (35 Secret Tips)

 

 

Some online money-making strategies pay out more than others, so pick the ones that best fit your lifestyle. Here are some suggestions and resources for learning how to generate money online for free.

 

01. Create YouTube content

 Ads, which average $0.01 to $0.03 per view, or $3 to $5 every 1000 video views, are the primary source of income for YouTubers. You can make money on YouTube with Google AdSense if you generate regular, compelling video and establish a following. Starting a creator account is free, but before you can monetize your videos, you must fulfill YouTube's minimal criteria.

 

02. Engage in market research.

You won't make a lot of money through online surveys, but you can make a few dollars here and there. Many survey sites pay in gift cards, but some, such as Branded Surveys, let you withdraw your money by PayPal or direct deposit. You'll become a Branded Elite member if you frequently do surveys and earn points, and you'll be eligible for additional bonus points and incentives.

We've reviewed hundreds of paid survey sites, many of which are scammers posing as real companies, so be cautious about giving out personal information to a company you've never heard of.

 

03. Get cash back and rewards when you shop

 Cash-back applications and browser extensions may help you save money on everything from groceries to books. Again, you will not make a fortune, but you will save money on items you currently purchase. Capital One Shopping is my personal favorite since it integrates with my favorite stores such as Overstock, Vitacost, and eBay.

If you already have a Capital One account, you may open a Capital One Shopping account by logging in with your usual banking credentials. Even if you don't already have a Capital One account, joining up is a simple procedure. Capital One will notify you when you're shopping if there's a bargain available for that merchant if you create an account and install the browser extension. You can exchange your points for Walmart, Redbox, Sephora, and other retailers' gift cards.

04. Pick up freelance work

 Over the previous three years, I've made thousands of dollars extra as a freelance writer, web developer, and, most recently, project manager. Offering what you already know is the quickest method to sell your skills online. These are genuine services you may provide to clients if your day job includes managing social media or if you learnt to edit podcasts while working on your own personal podcast. Professionals searching for freelancers with your competence may be found on sites like Fiverr, Upwork, and Freelancer

 

05. Complete micro tasks

 Micro tasking is one of the most straightforward methods to earn money online. Micro jobs, on the other hand, come with micro remuneration. Swagbucks allows you to earn a few dollars every month by viewing videos, playing games, and utilizing the Swagbucks search engine. Users may earn money by evaluating material, confirming data, or testing applications and websites on other micro job sites.

 

06. Start a blog of your own

 Starting a blog and making money is more feasible than you would imagine. Bloggers generate money by promoting firms with whom they are associated. The website owner receives a commission when people click an affiliate link and make a transaction. Other ways to earn money from blogging include showing advertisements, selling your own items, and producing sponsored material.

Blogging platforms like HostGator make it simple and inexpensive to start your own digital company from home for less than a cup of coffee each month.

07. Become a proofreader

 Proofreaders assist authors, bloggers, and even court reporters in ensuring that their work is error-free and grammatically correct. After the author and editor have completed their work, a proofreader's function is to be an extra set of eyes. They comb over the text for any mistakes that may have gone unnoticed earlier.

08. Sell your unused gift cards

You may sell gift cards on Raise if you have any that you no longer desire. Raise will offer a selling price for your gift card when you input it. You can modify this to whatever you think is a reasonable price. Raise is free to offer your gift card, but once it sells, the site will retain 15% of the sale price and you will receive the remaining 85%. For example, if you sell a $50 balance gift card for $45, Raise will keep $6.75 and you will earn $38.25.

09. Start a dropshipping business

 Over the last decade, dropshipping businesses have become a very popular method to generate money online. Dropshippers buy items from producers and then sell them through their own website. When a client puts an order, the item is sent straight to the customer's house from the manufacturer. You'll never have to worry about stocking up on supplies or keeping track of orders. Shopify, one of the most popular eCommerce platforms on the internet, offers a free 45-minute course on how to establish and run a dropshipping business.

 

10. Sell your gently-used clothing

 Selling items you no longer use is one of the simplest ways to generate money online. If your clothing are designer and in great demand, selling them individually on Poshmark or eBay might help you earn more money. You may get a Clean Out Kit from thredUP if your things aren't in great demand or you don't want to deal with the inconvenience of selling them yourself. Fill the bag with your profits and collect them when they sell. Plato's Closet or Buffalo are two local options.

 

11. Work as a virtual assistant

 A virtual assistant is a broad term for someone who provides online services to organizations large and small. Graphic design, blog maintenance, and email marketing are all examples of services. After having her first kid, a dear friend of mine began working as a virtual assistant. She earns $35 per hour by providing copywriting and email management services to local businesses. Working as a freelancer will raise your hourly wage, but it will also need you to source your own employment. Working with well-known virtual assistant firms with a regular supply of clients, but at a lower hourly pay, is another possibility.

 

12. Manage Facebook Ads for businesses

 Allowing firms to promote their products and services in users' news feeds is one of the ways Facebook generates money. The majority of small business owners are unaware of the importance of running Facebook advertising for their company. You may make $1,000 to $2,000 per month for each customer you book if you learn to convey the benefits of advertisements in reaching new clients and creating brand recognition. Begin by contacting local small company owners or enrolling in an online course that teaches you how to handle Facebook advertising and begin booking clients.

 

13. Host a digital course

 Today, digital courses are one of the most popular methods to earn money online. Outschool is a teacher-recruiting website dedicated to assisting online course designers in monetizing their expertise. Its programs cover a wide range of topics, including architecture, yoga, and learning about Pokémon characters. According to the website, the typical teacher makes $40 per hour, and Outschool does not require any prior teaching experience.

 

14. Become a private tutor

 You may make money online by teaching anything you know thanks to the numerous online tutoring companies accessible. Some sites impose a limit on how much you can charge, while others let you choose your own price. Create profiles on sites like Wyzant or Online Tutoring, Homework Help and Test Prep in Math, Science, and English to begin booking customers. You may also advertise on Craigslist or at local schools, depending on your topic area and if you prefer to teach in person or online.

 

 15. Get paid to test websites

 Website testers provide feedback on the design and usability of a website. This enables businesses to make modifications to their websites in order to improve the user experience (and hopefully increase sales). You may earn $10 for each 15- to 20-minute test you complete on sites like UserTesting. Tests entail recording your screen and receiving feedback, as well as responding to follow-up questions.

 

16. Write for websites and business owners

 Writing is one of the quickest and easiest methods to earn money online. To work as a freelance writer, you don't need excellent grammar or a large portfolio. As examples of your work, you can utilize personal blog entries, newsletters, or tales you've written in the past. To begin presenting your services to clients, join the ProBlogger and Freelance Writing job boards.

 

 17. Sell what you make on Etsy

 Users have sold anything from handmade knitwear and recycled jewelry to budget printouts and home organizing binders on Etsy, which is recognized for its diversity of handcrafted and antique products. Whatever your skill, there's a possibility you might sell your crafts online and make some extra money.

 

 18. Work as a mystery shopper

 Workers are paid to offer feedback on a company's products or services by companies like Secret Shopper, BestMark, and IntelliShop. For example, you may be requested to go to a local electronics store, ask a specific question of someone in the phone department, and then fill out a survey about your experience. You may start scheduling gigs online or in your region by filling out applications with mystery shopping businesses.

19. Buy and sell domain names

 Since starting my own website in 2016, I've bought domain names anytime I come across one that looks promising. One of them, a name I bought for $12, was just sold for $1,200 on GoDaddy. Domain flipping might be a successful method to generate money online if you have a knack for coming up with distinctive names for websites or organizations. GoDaddy has an excellent how-to guide that provides strategies for flipping a cheap name for thousands of dollars.

20. Work as a matchmaker

 Tawkify connects online daters based on same interests, values, and other dating preferences. As a matchmaker, you'll work with customers one-on-one to set up their next date with carefully selected matches based on these criteria. To apply, you don't need any prior expertise in the field. Empathy, intuition, and a high EQ are among the traits Tawkify seeks for in matchmakers, according to its website.

21. Create an app

To make an app, you don't need to be a software engineer or developer. If you have a fantastic concept, look for someone with technical expertise on Freelancer, Upwork, or Fiverr who can help you bring it to life. You may also develop an app without coding using a platform like Build Fire or Appy Pie. Once your app is online, you may generate money by selling it to a larger firm, displaying in-app advertising, or offering a premium edition.

 22. Start a paid membership community

 I'm a member of a number of paid membership groups, some of which are focused on life coaching and personal development, and others which are focused on internet business. Membership sites are an excellent way to share your expertise, establish a community, and generate recurring money. A subscription usually comes with some kind of core material, such as a course. Members of the ones I belong to receive weekly or monthly content, as well as live coaching calls where members can volunteer to be mentored in front of the community.

 

23. Sell your personal photos

 You may make money by selling your photos online if you love shooting them or have photographs on your camera roll that you aren't utilizing. To get started, all you need is a smartphone camera. Some applications will compensate you for your selfies, while others, like as Shutterstock and Adobe Stock, will compensate you for stock photographs that they can sell to businesses.

 

24. Self-publish an eBook

 New authors are increasingly turning to self-publishing. You may utilize your blog or personal website to sell your book if you already have one. Self-publishing with Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing appears to be the most popular technique. You may submit your book directly to your Amazon KDP account once you've written and formatted it.

25. Become a voice-over artist

 Professional audio work, such as games, advertisements, and cartoons, requires voice-over artists. This might be a simple method to generate money online if you have a radio voice. Voice-over work may be found on freelance sites like Fiverr or specialized sites like Voices.com.

 

26. Sell digital products

 Selling digital items is another method to generate money online using your expertise if you don't have the time or just don't want to deal with clients. You may make and sell a variety of digital goods, such as calendars, templates, and workbooks. You may attract customers to your digital items by using Pinterest, social media, or generating search engine-friendly material such as blog articles.

 

27. Sell your home-grown produce

 My buddy just realized a long-held goal of raising hens. His 20 hens should produce about 15 eggs every day, according to his estimates. “Hadn't thought about that,” he responded when I inquired what he planned to do with all the excess. I suppose I'll have to sell them.” His new pastime turned into an unexpected side gig. Consider selling surplus food to friends and family or on platforms like Facebook Marketplace if you enjoy gardening or growing your own vegetables.

 

28. Work for a call center

 One of the finest online careers for those who work in customer service is as a call center representative. A few firms that provide remote employment in this sector include U-Haul, Apple, and American Express. Depending on the employer, this position can be full-time or part-time, and training is usually offered, so no prior experience is necessary.

 

29. Apply to work as a data entry specialist

 Inputting hard-copy data into a spreadsheet or scanning documents into an internet application are examples of data entry. Data entry is a simple method to generate money online or from home in your spare time because it doesn't require a specialist degree and pays up to $13 per hour depending on your level of competence. Data entry jobs are available on sites like FlexJobs and Microworkers for people of various skill levels.

30. Transcribe audio files

 The three most frequent types of transcribing employment are legal, medical, and general. Companies in the medical or legal fields may need you to have some expertise or understanding in such fields. You'll listen to audio files and transcribe them into written material as a transcriptionist. Pay varies based on the sector and expertise level. If you're interested in learning more about what it takes to work as a transcriptionist and how to get started, check out our free 7-day course.

 

31. Design and sell T-shirts

 You may make money designing and selling your own T-shirts online if you're creative or can come up with catchy sayings. Teespring, Bonfire, and Printify are just a few of the sites that allow you to create and sell personalized shirts without having to spend anything up front or keep inventory. You establish your own storefront, similar to dropshipping, with your own designs. When a consumer orders something, the site makes it and ships it on your behalf. To generate money online with this notion, you'll still need to advertise your business, so having an online following, whether on Instagram, YouTube, or another social media site, is advantageous.

 

32. Offer consulting services

 The term "consulting" has a strong business connotation. Anyone with extensive knowledge in a certain subject area, on the other hand, may make money as a virtual consultant. A consultant's work is less hands-on than that of a freelancer. Instead of performing the job yourself, you give them with the knowledge they need to make educated decisions. If you're an SEO specialist, for example, you might work with customers to develop an SEO strategy and then train their workers on how to implement the improvements.

 

33. Coach in your area of expertise

 Whereas consultants give customers with a strategy for implementation, coaches assist clients in developing their own strategy. When I first started my financial counseling company, I imagined that I would primarily advise individuals what they should do with their money and then they would follow through. But it didn't take long for me to discover that what my customers really needed was assistance in overcoming limiting money attitudes and keeping accountable to their own goals and objectives. You may work as a coach in a variety of fields, including Instagram marketing, personal finance, and business. Acuity and Zoom are two tools that can let you book and meet with clients online.

 

34. Start a new online business

 Take note of what you hear people complaining about or the issues you're having. Is it possible to transform the solution into a web-based business? Is there a way to move your in-person business online if you currently provide a service in person? A massage therapist, for example, might conduct online seminars teaching couples how to massage each other. An online course on how to create a baker's most popular dishes might be hosted by a baker. Outside of the ones listed above, there are thousands of more internetbusiness ideas.

 

35. Offer virtual interior design consults

 Galey Alix is one of my favorite Instagram profiles to follow. Galey uses Instagram to record her interior design projects, which she started on the side of her full-time financial work. Her successful business proves that you don't need a college diploma or years of experience to start a business or provide services in a new field.

Begin by doing free work with friends and family. Gather testimonials and document your efforts online and on social media. You may develop service packages and offer them to new clients once you've gained some experience and a feel for your method.
