Win & Win
If you surf the web a bit, you've probably already received all kinds of ads offering solutions to make ends meet in just a few clicks. Don't be fooled: very often, these pop-up advertisements hide scams!
On the other hand, it is indeed possible to earn money through the Internet. As proof, millions of people use the Web to earn a living every day. Many online businesses turn out to be very luxurious, without necessarily having to invest colossal sums, and while allowing you to work from your home, on the simple condition of having a good Internet connection.
So here are some of the most popular businesses, starting with the profitable business of dropshipping!
1. Dropshipping
Dropshipping is an online business that allows you to earn money through an e-commerce site, without having to invest a lot of money. This business model allows you to sell a product to a customer without necessarily having it in stock. To do this, you just need to create an online store offering all kinds of products and wait for the first orders from your customers to order them from your suppliers. Then your wholesaler ships the item directly to your end customer. You therefore simply serve as an intermediary between the two parties, while taking a commission in the process.
The Dropizi solution allows you to easily create your store in a few clicks and add hundreds of products to it in a very intuitive way. In addition, to guarantee your success, the Dropizi subscription even includes dropshipping training! Indeed, the success of such a project still requires some basic skills, especially in terms of marketing strategy. To achieve your ambitions, Dropizi experts support you, step by step, in the development of your online store. Likewise, the platform takes care of all the binding and technical aspects of your website. You have only one mission left: to sell without worrying about the rest!
2. The sale of DIY products
If you have the soul of a creator, why not launch yourself into the design of "home-made" objects, to then sell them on the web? Do It Yourself (DIY) is booming.
Especially since there are now many tutorials on the internet that explain to you, step by step, how to create objects!
In France, in 2018, it was still a colossal market, reaching 1,250 million euros, an increase of 12.5% in just four years. Some sites, like ETSY, bring together many DIY objects made by various craftsmen or freelancers, spread all over the world. Thus, Internet users have access to a very vast catalog of products of all kinds, unique and handmade.
If it is possible that you expose your objects directly on this site, know that you can also design your own online store and create your own brand, in particular through specialized platforms such as Wizishop. Furniture, jewellery, decoration, clothing, cosmetics… It's up to you to design objects that look like you and make them known to as many people as possible!
3. Membership
Affiliate marketing is another very popular way to make money on the internet. This strategy has the advantage of bringing you gains without having to invest. The idea is simply to advertise other brands. In exchange, the latter pays you commissions or even other gifts, such as applications, software or other commercial products. Another very important point: it is quite possible to be affiliated with several companies. In other words, you are free to choose to advertise for a single company or to diversify by offering products for multiple partners.
But then, how to go about successfully earning money and making ends meet through affiliate marketing? The most effective strategy is to focus on content marketing. In other words, if you are not bad at writing, start writing a blog and add original and varied content. Regular publications will allow you to gradually conquer more audiences and stand out as your own brand. Then, your affiliate commissions will be negotiated according to your notoriety. The more you will be known, the better the advertisements on your blog will be paid. If this system has already experienced ups and downs, it has largely proven over time its ability to become profitable, provided of course to be a good seller.
There are many affiliate programs on the internet. Some sites have their own program like Amazon's. But you can also visit sites like Affilae which lists many brands that offer affiliation. Our Dropizi solution also has its affiliate program https://partners.wizishop.com/.
4. YouTube videos
There are many Youtubers on the web today. Consequently, it is not always easy to find a place of choice in this formidable competitive universe. To put the odds on your side and have any hope of developing a strong and loyal audience, I recommend that you first position yourself in a niche. It is better to place yourself as a key player in a specific area that you master to perfection, rather than trying to talk about all kinds of subjects.
For example, specialize in testing a very specific video game, eyelash makeup or afro hairstyle tutorials, sharing your knowledge of balcony vegetable gardens or renovating old objects... The idea is above all to share your know-how with as many listeners as possible and to position yourself as an expert in a sector. The secret to standing out? Find an original way to get interesting content to people. Videos on YouTube should not only be informative. They should also be entertaining. Then, remember to choose a powerful video title. It is essential for people to want to click on your link.
Finally, be aware that only YouTube channels with a minimum of 1000 subscribers are monetized. It is from this moment that you can add YouTube Ads. To give you an idea (and make you dream a little), some of the highest paid YouTubers of the moment earn several tens of millions of dollars a year!
5. Influence
Are you more connected to social networks than YouTube? In this case, no problem. There is, again, a great way to make money on the Internet. By becoming an influencer! As proof, the best influencer on the planet, named Kylie Jenner, receives 1 million dollars for each sponsored post she publishes on her Instagram account! Of course, not all influencers are in the same boat and the sums collected are not always so pharaonic. On the other hand, influence is a practice that is constantly developing, becoming an excellent way to make ends meet, even for the most modest influencers.
To start, it is important to build a strong reputation, by gathering a large community of fans on your Instagram profile. This is a time-consuming step that requires publishing as many regular posts as possible, while tagging them with well-chosen keywords. Then, once you are followed by a large audience, all you have to do is canvass brands to offer them sponsored and invoiced posts. The idea is simple: you include some of their products in your publications. These are noticed by all your fans. In return, you receive compensation. This is called product placement!
6. Online training
If you have extensive knowledge in a specific area, but don't necessarily want to share videos on YouTube, there are many people on the internet who specialize in delivering and selling training. These different strategies allow you to exchange your knowledge for remuneration, on the condition, however, that you choose the themes of your training well, so that they interest the widest possible audience!
For this, do not hesitate to inquire beforehand on the Internet. Put yourself in your target's shoes: what are the questions that Internet users are asking? What aspects do they like or dislike? Also look at what already exists in connection with your area of expertise. Try to stand out by offering more engaging and innovative content.
7. The Blog
Along the same lines, blogging is a great way to make money and get paid using the Internet. Moreover, it is one of the oldest strategies to be paid via the Web. Be aware, however, that there are many blogs on the Internet. It is therefore essential to master certain basics of editorial content to stand out and rise in the first results of Google searches.
So, when you start writing your blog, don't forget to draw up a list of very specific keywords to use in your texts to enrich your content and have a chance to position yourself better. This natural referencing method has a considerable influence on your order of appearance in Google queries.
But then, how does a blog make money?
There are several ways to use it to earn compensation. First, certain advertisements can be strategically placed on your site in exchange for a fee. Similarly, some of your posts may be sponsored by brands, through paid partnerships. Some bloggers also sell digital and physical products on their site, in exchange for a commission. In this sense, the blog is close to an influence strategy. It is simply used to federate a community around your texts to then place products there and make money.
8. Microservices
The microservice consists of selling one's skills on the Internet to customers, by making oneself known through platforms Fiverr, Freelancer, 5euros, Upwork, findmoiunfreelance or Malt are all sites that bring together many freelancers.
Their calling? Connect self-entrepreneurs with a wealth of skills and customers looking for specific know-how. These platforms are excellent ways to find clients when starting a freelance activity. They make it possible to multiply contacts and to be paid quickly, once the service is completed. Various missions can be proposed. This can be web development, graphic design, copywriting, website creation or translation work. Broadly, microservices relate to tasks related to websites and their development. With 1.4 billion websites worldwide in 2019, you will easily understand that this is a colossal business, allowing you to obtain profitable and regular remuneration.
To avoid being tricked or wasting too much time, remember to check the reputation of the platform with which you want to collaborate. To measure its reliability, I advise you to rely on:
To get started in the microservice, no specific training is required. However, to increase your knowledge and skills, some course modules are available on the Internet.
9. Distance courses
Another business to supplement your ends of the month and not the least: distance courses. There are many parents of children and adolescents looking for teachers to come to the aid of their toddlers when they express some difficulty in one or more subjects.
If private lessons at home have long been popular, distance lessons are gradually gaining ground. Their main advantage? Since you don't have to make any trips, you save a lot of time! Therefore, in this model, everyone wins. The online teacher can have more students and earn more money. As a result, he demands a lower hourly wage, which also makes the parents happy. Teaching at a distance requires very little equipment. A simple Skype account, a webcam and a microphone are more than enough… In addition, of course, to some knowledge of the subjects you decide to teach!
Note that there are also specialized platforms, allowing you to give private lessons at a distance. Hello Mentor, Superprof, Edulide, I propose or Qwerteach are all sites that bring together thousands of teachers and are also consulted by many customers looking for lessons.
10. Monetization
Finally, monetization is another great way to make money online. Its principle? Make yourself known to a large audience and use your notoriety to monetize your YouTube channel, your blog or your Instagram and Facebook posts.
There are several ways to monetize your channel, profile or site:
As you will have understood, there is no shortage of business ideas on the Internet and some of them can prove to be particularly fruitful. On the other hand, like any job, the development of such activities requires time and skills. Launching a business on the Web is often very time-consuming, especially when starting up.
