Some hear it, but they keep asking themselves, “how is that possible?”

It is simple! Making money online is the reality of the Internet era. If you know what you are doing, you wouldn't need a 9-5 job anymore. You'll build a business online and start earning cool cash. Yes, cool cash.

Many people have earned online. I know a 19-year-old freelancer, Goodness Somtochukwu.

Her journey to becoming a millionaire at 19 started online. It started on a platform, Upwork. But I'm not only going to talk about Upwork today.

So today, I will talk about the top 7 ways to make money online.

If you have been wondering how you can talk into the gig economy, I have compiled some money-making avenues online for you.

Top 7 ways to make money online now:

Influencer marketing

Influencers make money to promote products and services. I know influencers that charge at least $100 to promote a product on their page. It's simple: start working on your social media page.

Create content that positions you as a thought leader. Then watch your voice and followership grow like trees beside the river. Don't sleep on this. Social media is your digital portfolio. It is also your ATM.

Freelancing on freelance platforms

Goodness's journey as a freelancer began on Upwork. She made her first million from Upwork. She started on Upwork as an article and content writer and evolved into a copywriter.

There are lots of skills you can freelance on. If you can think of any skill that any business needs, you can offer it on freelancing platforms, Fiverr, Upwork, Peopleperhour, etc.

Skills you can think of are digital marketing skills, writing, copywriting, legal skills, video editing, LinkedIn brand influencing deals, email marketing, social media marketing, web design, software development, UX design, graphic design, voice-over, and many others. Head over to the platforms and read articles about them to see how these platforms work. I assure you that this is the best decision you'll be making for yourself this year as a young person. Got a skill to sell? Go get it, boo.?

Amazon Kindle Publishing

We don't hear about it often, but boy, this is one of the money-making machines on the internet right now. I have a few books on Amazon Kindle, and even though I'm not yet serious about them, they still bring in a few bucks for me monthly. The good news is this; you don't need to be a writer to publish on Amazon.

There are also low or no content books, such as journals, workbooks, etc. You can create them and publish them on the platform for free. Then, as a writer, it's even easier for you as the money gods are smiling down on you already. Sit down and think of a great idea. Write a book on it and give nothing but optimum value to your target audience. Proofread properly, edit, format, and structure it properly according to Amazon's Kindle Publishing standards. You don't want to sleep on this.?

Affiliate Marketing

Aha, this is a popular idea right now. Affiliate marketing is about promoting other people’s products and services and earning a commission when someone purchases through your referral link. The internet has made it easier than ever for people to find products and services that they can purchase online, especially in niche markets that are difficult to reach using traditional marketing strategies. Many companies offer affiliate programs, such as Expertnaire, Amazon, ClickBank, etc. You can choose any product you want (even digital products) as long as the company offers an affiliate program for it.?

Blogging

Seems unconventional, but don't be fooled; a blog is a business.?

Personally, I think it's one of the smartest businesses you can own. Now, blogging is not just about gossip or peeping into celebrity lifestyles. You can blog about dogs, cars, home keeping, gadgets, etc. You may be asking, "how do I make money from this?" You can make money from blogging through Display Ads, Direct Ad Sales, Affiliate Marketing, Sell Digital Products, Memberships, Consulting, Sell Leads, etc.

If you want to succeed with your blog, treat it as you would a business. Many successful bloggers do this and for a good reason. Treat your blog like a piece of digital real estate in a well-articulated business portfolio.

It takes a lot of hard work to make money from your blog. But if you are dedicated and determined, you will eventually see the results of all your efforts. Remember, it's not a get-rich-quick scheme.

Dropshipping

Dropshipping is another business model where you don’t need to own a physical inventory. The way dropshipping works is that you act as a middleman between the buyer and the supplier of the product. As soon as the buyer makes a purchase, you pass the order to the supplier instead of shipping it yourself. The supplier ships directly to the customer. So basically, you don’t handle any inventory at all. With dropshipping, you create the store, manage the website, and provide customer service. But your dropshipping service will take your orders and ship them out to your customers. They're an invisible third party that your customers don't know about.

Create YouTube videos?

Do you have a passion for making videos? Are you creative, or do you have great informational or educational content that you think people would like? You can make money on YouTube with your videos.

YouTube users watch over 1 billion hours of video each day. With that in mind, it’s easy to believe that there are many ways to make money on YouTube. Creating YouTube videos is a great way to make money online. You can earn money from ads, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing.

If you want to make money on YouTube, start creating great content people will want to watch. When you get to the required threshold for monetization, join the YouTube Partner Program and enable monetization on your account.

I have shown you various ways to make money online. Stop waiting for the job to come. Create your own avenue to make money. All you need is a phone and internet. Then you are good to go.
