What You Need to Start Earning Online
Working online at home for many who have lost their jobs or can't get a full-time position in the company is an opportunity to earn at least some money. But to determine which new profession can be mastered in a short time, you need to analyze what skills are already in your asset:
Write out all the professions you've worked for before. Even those where you have gained minimal experience are suitable.
Write out the skills gained throughout your life, even if they do not directly concern professional activities.
Look for information about which professions or skills are now relevant in the market. To do this, look for frequent queries on freelance exchanges, job search sites, or thematic groups.
Now think about how with a set of skills and skills, you can help people online and get money for it. The list of ideas can be large (by 10 or more points). Weigh everything and select one or two opportunities and focus on them.
#1 Affiliate Marketing
The essence of PPC affiliate marketing on the site is that you recommend or do reviews of partner products. You can post a link to someone's affiliate program on your website. And when your readers buy link partner products on the blog, you are awarded a reward. Most often, this is a fee (a fixed payment, regardless of how much the customer you sent the order form) or a percentage of sales (a fixed percentage and your reward depend on the size of the customer's check).
The main one is a developed blog with a loyal, solvent audience. It is also necessary to understand how to connect the PPC affiliate program (make it a separate section on the site or simply add referral links to the content) and run it.
Such programs are sought in large PPC affiliate networks:
ShareASale;
ClickBank;
Rakuten LinkShare.
You can connect to existing partner programs of well-known companies and brands:
Amazon Associates;
CreativeLive;
Udemy;
Survey Junkie;
Shopify;
TemplateMonster;
BigCommerce.
#2 Selling Photos and Videos
Selling photos and videos are an excellent option for additional income for photographers, designers, illustrators, videographers. The point is that your place of work (necessarily in good quality) on photo and video stands with the possibility of their unlimited purchase. With this, you receive a bonus fee (about 30% of the cost of photos and videos). The more times your job was downloaded, the more income.
#3 Copywriting/Rewriting
Copywriting is the writing of promotional materials (selling texts). Their purpose can be different: incentives to buy a product, increasing brand recognition, and more.
Copywriters can be both regular employees (office or remote) and freelancers (take one-time orders). They work with texts for sites, landings, pages in social networks, email mailings, commodity cards, YouTube channels (scripts for video). Frequent customers are SEO studios, online stores, entrepreneurs, editors of online media, and corporate blogs.
In rewriting, you need to rewrite the texts but not write them from scratch. Often they order the rewriting of competitors' articles with the preservation of meaning but paraphrasing of offers. This allows the customer to avoid copyright infringement while obtaining high-quality content.
#4 Content Management and Site Content
Usually, this concept means the administration of the site: a verse of articles, the addition of product cards and descriptions to them, the moderation of comments. The main customers are online stores.
It is enough to be fluent in PC skills, at least partially know how to work in various CMS, and be able to learn a new one quickly.
#5 Dropshipping
Dropshipping is an opportunity to sell goods without having them physically available. Here, as a dropshipper, you act as an intermediary between the manufacturer or supplier and the buyer. The main task is to find customers. The more buyers, the higher the income.
Typical dropshipping scheme:
The customer makes and pays for your order.
You receive payment, write to the supplier, transfer money to him (but leave a premium-profit to yourself).
The vendor processes the order and sends it to the buyer.
To work on dropshipping, it is important to decide on a niche, specific products, find suppliers, and create either a site or a business page in social networks (decide on a sales channel). It is also necessary to allocate a budget for advertising. Otherwise, the first customers will have to wait a long time.
Remember that no way to earn money online will guarantee that the very next day, you will receive the first money in the account. But by being persistent and aware of goals, you will be able to achieve the results you want.
