Blogging

One of the most popular ways of making money is by writing a blog on the most popular topics on the internet. But for the last 4-5 years, the blogosphere has become very crowded and nowadays it’s very difficult to generate a decent amount from a new website. Articles on almost every topic are now available on the internet but with proper content marketing tactics. Once you get the attention of people you need to monetize the traffic to earn money. There are several ways to monetize a blog like Google Adsense or other contextual ads, affiliate marketing, sponsored reviews, paid posts, etc. You can use a combination of these monetization techniques to generate maximum revenue.

I would suggest going with affiliate marketing and sponsored reviews as a primary source of income as income from Adsense or other is comparatively low.

Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to make money if you don’t want to depend on advertisement networks and start earning money instantly. Join an affiliate marketing site of your preferred niche and start promoting the products using social media, forum posts, or using blogs. The affiliate marketing pays more than any available advertising networks but the income is volatile if you don’t have a loyal customer/fan base. There are known events when the companies do freeze referral accounts without any prior notice and do not pay a single penny just saying the marketing strategy is against their policy. So, before signing up any affiliate program read the T&C carefully. Some websites like Shareasale or CJ affiliate host affiliate programs some of the leading brands so rather than wasting your time on multiple logins just create an account on related affiliate aggregators and focus on earning.

One of the best opportunities for the affiliate marketers is the event-based sale, with a well-optimized event website one can hit jackpot. One such event is Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Freelance Content Writing

If you don’t want to start a blog or not ready to invest behind hosting plans and domain you can still showcase your writing skill as a freelance content writer. Blogs owners/ Brands are constantly looking for freelance content writers if you don’t believe me just search any leading freelancing website like Freelancer, Upwork now there are some dedicated sites also for freelance content writers. But, like other earning methods you have to establish yourself as a quality writer to get orders regularly. After having a good portfolio you can charge up to $2-5 per 100 words without worrying about the monetization hassle. Try to stay away from content writing job offering groups on Facebook, as chances of getting scammed are high when you try to deal directly.

Sell Professional Services

If you are good at any professional services like programming, website development, graphic designing, etc you can easily earn money from websites like Fiverr and PeoplePerHour. List your skills with previous experience and client testimonials and charge a competitive price depending upon the current trends and personal satisfaction. Promote your service listing on social media with special discounts to drive customers when you are new to the marketplace. Offer occasional discounts and try to get good ratings/ testimonials from customers to drive more sales.
