Hey guys, Daniel here from Next Level Life and today we’re going to be talking about
my top 5 ways to make money online in 2017.
There are literally dozens of ways to make money online but I wanted to keep this video
under 20 minutes so I limited this list to five.
Also if you want me to go into more depth on any of these just let me know in the comments
below and I’ll make a more in depth video on it.
So how do you make money online anyway?
Well there are countless options to choose from and each could honestly be there own
video so I’m just going to stick to the basics today.
You make money online by giving someone something of value.
This can be done either by selling products (whether they’re your own or someone else’s),
providing value to business through taking surveys or downloading apps that let companies
collect data on things like your shopping habits or by doing freelance work for others.
And again, there are many ways to do each of these.
So with that out of the way, let’s get into the list.
One way to make money online is to start a blog.
A blog is a very versatile option to choose because not only can you make a little passive
income through Google Adsense but you can use your blog to direct your traffic to other
things that will make you money.
Most bloggers do this through affiliate marketing by putting a link in their posts to certain
related products or services that their readers will be interested in.
Another way to make money online is to become an affiliate marketer.
This is something that I believe anyone who creates content on the internet should be
doing and it's very easy to set up.
And the best part of this strategy is that it is about as close to passive income as
you can get.
Say you do a video review on YouTube for Vitamix and sign up for their affiliate program.
You get paid 15% of the price of every sale you drive to the site through your link.
And as long as your video stays up on Youtube it’ll keep getting views and people will
keep clicking on your link and you’ll keep getting paid long after your work is done.
If vitamix isn’t your thing Amazon has a great affiliate program that offers you anywhere
from a 4-10% cut of the sales you drive to the site, and many other places have affiliate
marketing programs such as clickbank.com.
Most products nowadays have some sort of affiliate program so if you’re writing a review for
your blog or doing a video review on youtube be sure to google the product to see if it
has an affiliate program.
A third way to make money online is to sign up for a freelance website like Fiverr or
UpWork and start doing small jobs for other people on the internet.
This isn’t exactly passive but if you’re rated highly for what you do on the site you
could turn this into a nice side job.
If you’re really good you can actually turn this into a full time gig.
Forbes had a great article on 3 people that earn 6 figures a year on fiverr.
I’ve leave a link to it in the description below if you want to check it out.
A fourth way to make money online is to sell ebooks on the Kindle Store.
If writing is your talent than this is a great opportunity for you to look into.
And what’s great is that you can actually start a kindle business with little to no
money if you’re willing to write and market the books yourself.
If you aren’t than you can use ghostwriters for the manuscript and book cover designers
on fiverr to help you market it.
If this is something you want to pursue though I recommend you take the Kindle Money Mastery
Class from Stefan Pylarimos.
It walks you through the entire process step-by-step and I’ve taken the class myself and can
vouch for how helpful things like figuring out how to get enough reviews on my book as
well as how to figure out what kind of books would be profitable was for me when I was
starting out.
There’s no doubt in my mind that it was definitely worth every penny.
I’ll leave a link to the class in the description below and it is my affiliate link so if you
click on it and decide to sign up for the course than I will make a few bucks as well.
If you don’t want to use my affiliate link that’s alright you can just google the letter
K Money Mastery and you’ll find the class.
A fifth way to make money online is to sell stock images, music, and videos.
People who are making videos on Youtube or blogging, or creating a podcast, or really
creating just about any kind of content online is always in need of more stock items and
they’re willing to pay you to give them the rights to use them.
There are many sites that allow you to sell your stock items shutterstock is a great one
for photos, audioblocks is great for selling music or sound effects, and videoblocks will
allow you to sell your stock video footage.
So those are five different ways that you can make money online I hope you found this
