#2 Start An Affiliate Marketing Blog

If you’re new in the field, let me explain it to you. Affiliate marketing is a way for a business to reward bloggers and online creators for each visitor/sale brought by the blogger’s own marketing efforts. Basically, once someone clicks on the affiliate link and buys something from your advertised website you’ve shared- you will get commissioned. Still sounds a bit complicated? Keep on reading…

If you place your cards right, affiliate marketing can become a great way to start earning money from your blog straight away. Affiliate Marketing has been my second highest income source for the past year. I believe that it really is the best way to make passive income even while you sleep!

#3 Become A Virtual Assistant

Are you tech savvy? Do you write kick-ass e-mails or consider yourself to be a pro in googling? You should consider starting your own virtual assistant business to make money online. VAs usually take care of the tasks that online entrepreneurs cannot find the time for. This can include anything from doing research for them to booking tickets or answering simple e-mails. Basically, everyone can do it if you are ready to commit and have a few free hours in your day.

#4 Edit Photos For Money

Do you have great photo editing skills? Have you ever considered editing other people’s pictures? We all can take pictures these days, but not many of us actually have time & skills to make them look professional. Here’s where you come in!

Looking to learn a thing or two about photo editing? Sign up for Adobe Photography Plan & download Lightroom + Photoshop. These might look a bit difficult to use at first, but it’s so worth to take your time & actually learn how to use these. It’s so simple these days, you can find a bunch of handy tutorials on youtube.

Once you develop your skills, go ahead and start introducing your services online. You see, photo editing takes loads of time. Other online entrepreneurs would really prefer to hire someone else to do the dirty work for them. Can this be you? It can become an awesome way for you to make money online!

#5 Start Selling On Amazon

Selling on Amazon can actually be a really good way to make some extra bucks.Wondering how this would work? Well, you can simply open an online store, that is run by Amazon. You can be in charge of finding your own products to sell. Once you have inventory to sell. That is sent to an Amazon fulfilment warehouse, where they will store it for you until it sells. Once the product has sold on the Amazon website, the warehouse employees pack that item into a shipping box and send it off to the customer. If the customer needs help with their order, they ask Amazon. Easy-peasy, huh? And the best thing is- you can run your shop from ANYWHERE.

To begin with, you should know that there’s quite a research you need to do before, but luckily, there are quite a few bloggers that already made awesome businesses from this & you can learn from them!
