Here Are 10 Legitimate Ways to Make Money Online:
1. Fulfillment by Amazon (Amazon FBA)
This may or may not be new to you but do you know that not all products on Amazon are sold by Amazon? There are sellers on there, just like you and I, who sell anything and everything – from fashion and skincare to groceries, electronics, furniture, and even auto parts. It’s like eBay. The only difference is that it’s not an auction site and you can’t sell used goods.
It is possible to make more than $20,000 through Amazon FBA. In fact, I have read about people making six figures every month and millions of dollars every year.
2. Blogging
Aside from making money through Amazon FBA, I’m also a living proof that you can make money through blogging. Modesty aside (and please understand that I am not bragging but just merely stating to prove a point), I make six figures every year from blogging. But I do know of bloggers making six figures in a month alone and I don’t doubt that one bit.
Here’s a snapshot of my most recent tax return from blogging:
I go a little bit more in depth on this on my blog post How to Start a Fashion, Lifestyle, Beauty, Food, or Travel Blog and Make Money From It so check it out.
While the article above pertains to starting a fashion, lifestyle, beauty, food or travel blog, the steps mentioned there can also apply to whatever blog niche you choose to go for.
I also have recently launched my blogging course Become A Blog Boss where I provide a very systematic and strategic way for you to have a profitable blog that can earn you up to six figures. Whether you want to make six figures every month or every year, it’s totally up to you but it’s possible.
3. Selling Your Course Online
Are you really good at something that you are able to teach it? Selling your own online course is one of the hottest ways to make money online these days. There are people who have courses on anything and everything under the sun. Whether you’re good on baking, photography, teaching a specific language, playing an instrument, photography, painting, health and fitness, DIY – you can create your own course and sell it.
Thanks to platforms such as Udemy and Teachable, it’s now easier than ever to get your course out there to hundreds of thousands of people and earn money that way.
The information industry is a billion dollar industry. Millions of people are turning to the internet to look for information and are willing to pay for courses that will provide them the information that they need or provide the solutions to their problems.
The income potential from selling your online course can be anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars to six and seven figures! In fact, one girl I have read made over $1M (yup a million!) with her course in one year.
When I released my The Ultimate List of Blogger / Influencer Networks, PR Firms & Digital Marketing Companies, Affiliate Networks, Ad Networks, Hotel Contacts and More! last year, I made an easy approximate $3,000 in a week and it’s not even my main course. It’s just a bonus from my Become a Blog Boss course.
4. Sell Your T-Shirt Designs on Merch by Amazon
Merch by Amazon is Amazon’s platform for “print-on-demand” t-shirts. You can start this without any inventory, no sign-up fees, no start-up costs. However, at the moment, it is only an “Invite Only” platform. You can get an invitation from Amazon itself by filling out the application here. Print on demand is basically a method where you upload your designs and the supplier (in this case, Amazon) only prints it on a shirt whenever a buyer orders it.
I’m currently doing this as well to make a few hundred dollars but I know that I can easily make a few thousands if I put more effort into it. However, that’s just not my focus right now and it’s just a side hustle. But again, I have read a few people making thousands of dollars every month on Merch by Amazon just by uploading their t-shirt design ideas.
5. Flipping Used/Unused or Unwanted Items
Some people are really good in flipping items from thrift stores and selling them on sites like eBay and Poshmark. I have also read of some people making up to six figures doing this. In my early years doing marketing online, I did eBay and have made thousands of dollars as well. I remember making up to $4,000/month and this was back in 2000.
If you spend a couple of days every week thrifting, you can easily turn those item into cash – anywhere from $200 – $1000. You can flip anything and everything you think is of value.
