The opportunity the internet offers us to earn money from home, or anywhere with an internet connection for that matter, is one of the most exciting parts about the world today. Below, we're going to go through 3 proven ways to make money online so you can live the coveted "laptop lifestyle." Or, even just make some part time bucks leveraging the internet. Here we go! 1. Freelance. This is one of the quickest ways to earn money online, as you can start selling a skill you already have right away. Personally, freelancing had earned me the most money so far in my internet money making adventures. Using sites like Upwork, Freelancer and even Fiverr to sell your valuable skills such as writing, marketing, coding, consulting, design, and a TON of others is a great path to earn that online bank. On Fiverr especially, you can get really creative with what you offer. Freelancing is becoming more and more popular and there is all the information you need to get started with a profitable freelance business readily available online for free. I'll probably end up writing some of my own articles on this in the future but just getting started and learning when you run into obstacles is usually the best method. (It's called Just in Time Learning, and I need to get better at it personally, I'm a learning/knowledge junkie and have to be more action oriented.) There are also sites like Rev, where you can get gigs doing specific types of jobs. In the case of Rev, which I have used and been paid from, you transcribe audio for around 40-65 cents per minute of audio transcribed. With places like this, you're not going to get rich, but from my experience, there is always work and you will get paid. Personally, I'd recommend pursuing other more lucrative routes most the time, but Rev and sites like it are legit way to ear a little online income. 2. Flipping/Arbitrage. Buying things from craigslist, yard sales, swap meets and even dollar stores and selling them online is still a powerful way you can make money using the internet. The legendary businessman, Gary Vaynerchuk, just recently told his audience that they should be taking advantage of this great money making opportunity. Here is one of the times he's brought it up: 3. Content Creation. Creating valuable content to build authority and an audience is one of the mainstays of online business. Whether it's through blogging or vlogging, or another type of content, when you build up an audience, you can earn money. And a lot of it, too.
This can be through advertising, affiliate marketing, selling your own products/services or a combination of these things. When you have people paying attention to what you're saying, you have tons of value. Bonus: Another option for making money online is e-commerce. You can have your own e-commerce store(s) though platforms like Shopify or you can leverage sites like Amazon to sell products online. There is a ton of money to be made in e-commerce, but of all of the online business opportunities we went over today, it is probably the hardest to get into. If you've read MJ DeMarco's book, The Millionaire Fastlane (you really should, here is a review I wrote about it) you'll know that usually the harder the barrier to entry is, the bigger the opportunity. There you have it, some of the best and proven money making opportunities on the internet today. Go start making your online income now! P.S. Let me know what you thought in the comments.
