1. Freelancer

No 1 on my list of how to make money online for beginners has to be freelancing!


Not only is it an excellent way to make money from your laptop, it’s great for beginners and is one of the fastest ways to start to earn.


Once you’ve created your profile, you can immediately begin bidding for jobs for some easy side hustle income.


Analyze your skill sets and sign up to a freelancing site such as upwork.com or freelancer.com. Add a compelling profile and start to bid for jobs that meet your expertise.


Be prepared to bid low at the beginning to attract customers and gather reviews. As you grow you can increase your charges and get paid directly from clients in exchange for valuable services.


See this article to learn more about becoming a freelancer.


2. Social Media Manager

Screenshot of Upwork profile for the Social Media Managers

 


Social media management is a fun way to make money online for beginners if you love scrolling Instagram reels or creating fun videos on TikTok.


As a social media manager, you’ll be responsible for helping businesses create and manage their online marketing campaigns on the various social media platforms.


You’ll need to have a good understanding of digital marketing principles and platforms such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.


Additionally, you may need to create content that engages the target audience, builds brand awareness and brings more customers to the business.


The best way to get started is to use a site like upwork.com to find initial clients. As you grow and build a reputation you can create your own website and social media account to showcase your skills and testimonials.


If this seems a little overwhelming, then niche down to focus on making money from Snapchat or one of the other platforms.


3. Blogger/ Niche Site Publisher

Tech Crunch website - blogger

 


This is one of my favorite strategies on my list of how to make money online for beginners.


Blogging is both a fun and lucrative way to earn an income, allowing you to share your thoughts and expertise with readers from around the world.


I’ve used the words blogger and niche site publisher together as blogging evokes images of a journal type blog which is more of a personal online diary. However, to earn money from your blog, you’ll need to treat it as a business from the get go and focus on how to monetize the niche you choose to blog about.


Whether you’re a hobbyist or an experienced writer, you can make money blogging about pretty much any niche.


To get started you’ll pick a name, purchase your domain, register with a hosting company and set up your website. All this can be done in just a few hours.


Once you’re live, your focus will be on publishing keyword rich content that meets the needs of those searching for information on your topic, (ideally better than anyone else can).


You’ll generate income via display ads, affiliate marketing, online courses or a multitude of other ways.


See this article to learn more about how to start a money making blog today!


4. Podcaster

Screenshot of different podcaster

 


If writing to make money online isn’t your jam, you might want to consider making money online as a podcaster.


If you love to talk and share your thoughts and opinions, podcasting allows you to do so with people all over the world. Also if you’re looking for a creative way to get expert help or learn a topic more thoroughly, a podcast is a great excuse to invite interviewees to share their knowledge and secrets!


Once you start to build an audience, the best way to monetize your podcast is by signing up for sponsorships or running ads in between episodes. Another way of generating income from podcasting is to create exclusive content which listeners can pay to access via a platform like Patreon for example.


Additionally, you can use merchandising such as t-shirts and mugs with your logo on it, or even offer consulting services based on your expertise.


See this article to learn more about how to start and make money podcasting.


5. Influencer

Making money online as an influencer is becoming an increasingly popular way of earning an income. By building an engaged audience on social media, you can create sponsored posts or create affiliate links to generate passive income. Additionally, you can offer reviews and services based on your expertise for a fee.


To get started, choose your niche and pick a platform such as Instagram, TikTok or Twitter and post every single day, several times a day. The key to becoming an influencer is to offer entertaining, informative or educational content, consistently!


See this article to learn more about how to become an influencer (without wearing a bikini).


6. YouTuber

Pewdie Profile and homepage in Youtube

 


Following on from point 5, one route to becoming an influencer is to become a youtuber. I’ve separated the two though as YouTube is a slightly different social media beast in that it doubles as a search engine.


To get started, choose a specific niche and create your youtube channel. Your goal then is to create consistent keyword rich videos (much like blogging, but with video).


The bulk of your audience will then find you by searching for specific keywords. You’ll also pop up in recommended videos etc, based on what your target audience tends to watch, but to do so your content must be specifically relevant.


By creating unique, relevant content and building an engaged audience, you’ll be able to monetize your videos via ad revenue, affiliate marketing, selling physical products or services, and loads more.


It’s important to remember that success doesn’t come overnight – but with hard work and patience, making money online as a YouTuber is certainly achievable!


7. Coach

The Life Coach page

 


If you’re a natural educator and love to help others achieve their goals and dreams, becoming a coach might be the online career for you.


By leveraging your expertise and providing valuable advice, you can start making money in no time. You can offer one-on-one coaching, group sessions, courses and more over Zoom or Skype for a fee.


Additionally, you can create ebooks, podcasts, or webinars to increase your reach and build your audience. Even rock climbers can make money coaching.


See this article on making money online as a coach.


8. Pro-Gamer

screenshot of Twitch  live game battle- Pro-gamer

 


Remember the days when your parents or spouse would tell you to stop wasting your time playing online games?


Those days are gone my friend. These days, esports, online gaming, MMO’s and Metaverse gaming is a multi billion dollar industry and creating financial freedom via pro-gaming is the norm rather than the exception.


In fact I would go so far as to say, if you’re a gamer, you’re ahead of the technical curve.


Monetize your skills via streaming sites such as Twitch, earn sponsorships, donations, and subscriptions, compete in tournaments with cash prizes, earn and trade crypto, enter the lucrative world of NFT’s, you name it!


The world is your gaming oyster!


9. Photographer

Sweet Escape Main landing page - photography

 


If you love taking photos (even with your iphone), then this strategy for how to make money online for beginners is for you.


Making money online as a photographer is an incredibly rewarding way to earn an income.


With the right skills and equipment, you can start selling your images through stock photography sites, building your own photography website, or connecting with businesses that need visuals for their websites or social media.


There are also many opportunities to offer services such as product photography or portrait photography.


With the right dedication and marketing strategies, it’s easy to turn your passion for taking photos into a profitable business.


10. Drone Photographer

Chase upwork profile who is a Drone Photographer 

 


Making money online as a drone photographer has become increasingly popular over the last few years. (Primarily because drones have become smaller and more user friendly).


With the right skills, equipment, and knowledge of the regulations surrounding drone flight, you can monetize your drone photography or videography skills by offering unique aerial imagery services to businesses in need of promotional photos or video.


Businesses are often willing to pay good money for stunning drone shots of their products or locations. There are also many other monetization opportunities available through stock footage sites, freelance or technical work.


By perfecting your technique and learning how to market your services effectively, you can turn your passion for aerial photography into a lucrative business.


See this article to learn more about how to make money with drones.


11. Online Course Creator

Screenshot of different Online Course Creator

 


If you have years of experience in a particular niche or love to teach then creating and selling courses is a great way to make money online for beginners.


With the right knowledge and skills, you can create courses on any topic imaginable and offer them to a wide range of potential students through online marketplaces or your own website.


Sites like Udemy or Skillshare make it easy to upload and sell courses to a waiting marketplace, or you can build your own using course platforms such as Teachable or Kajabi.


With evergreen content that retains its value over time, online courses offer a brilliant way to make a passive income whilst sharing what you know with others.


When I started online over 11 years ago, creating and selling a course needed a degree in programming, but these days it’s as easy as hitting the record button on your phone!


See this article to learn more about how to create and sell a six figure online course.


12. Amazon FBA

Kitchen gadget for sale on Amazon - Amazon FBA

 


Amazon FBA is a bit of a speciality of mine, as my husband and I built a 7 figure business on Amazon while living in a hotel in Thailand.


Amazon FBA stands for – Fulfillment by Amazon, and is a great way to reach customers all over the world. With Amazon FBA, you will ship products to Amazon warehouses and they will pick, pack, and deliver your products as well as dealing with storage and returns.


This allows you to easily build an ecommerce business without needing to invest in expensive infrastructure or hire staff.


Selling on Amazon will need some up front cash to purchase stock, but with well over 250 million paying customers, it’s an extremely lucrative business model. I used to make $1000 a day profit when selling on the Amazon platform.


Read our story here and learn how to start your own Amazon FBA business.


13. Low Content Books

Screenshot of Low content books for sale in Etsy

 


One of the more simple and extremely lucrative ways of how to make money online for beginners is to sell low content books on Amazon or Etsy is it! (NB – I said simple, not necessarily easy.)


Low content books include items such as journals, planners, coloring books, sketchbooks and more.


All you need to do is upload your design files to Amazon or Etsy and they will handle printing and shipping for you.


This can be a great way to make money from the comfort of your own home without needing any special skills or experience.


To get started sign up for a Canva account and get designing. Please note however, that in recent months both Amazon & Etsy have said they’ll no longer support ‘no content’ books, in other words plain lined books, or books which have one design repeated throughout the book.


So get creative and create a valuable resource that your customers will love!


See this article to learn more about how to make money with low content books.


14. Self Publishing

sample self-publishing books

 


If you’ve always wanted to be a published author, but the road to Barnes & Noble has always seemed too challenging, consider publishing on Amazon instead!


Self publishing on Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is an excellent way to get published quickly and with some time and dedication make money online.


With KDP, all you need to do is write and upload your book, set prices and start selling. You can also take advantage of Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Countdown Deals to help boost sales.

15. Online Arbitrage on Amazon

sample products fro sale on Amazon - Online Arbitrage on Amazon

 


Online arbitrage on Amazon is a great way to make money online for beginners with little effort and minimal costs.


Essentially, it involves buying products from one seller, such as an online store or marketplace, and then reselling them at a higher price on another platform.


The key to success in online arbitrage is identifying the right price point and ensuring that you manage your time efficiently so that you can take advantage of the best deals quickly.


With some research and knowledge, anyone can start making money with online arbitrage from the comfort of your own home.


See this article to learn more about how to make money with Amazon online arbitrage.


16. Amazon Retail Arbitrage

Becca McHaffie | Unsplash


Retail arbitrage is almost the same as online arbitrage apart from the fact you will physically visit a store and buy your products, rather than sourcing them online.


If you love to shop, then retail arbitrage might be a better fit for you.


Simply visit discount stores or look for bargains and use the Amazon app to help you determine the profitability of products as you find them.


It’s important to research the product thoroughly before you buy it, including checking for price points that you can undercut, as well as identifying any associated restrictions.


Additionally, you’ll need to be aware of the fees for selling the product. With careful planning and diligence, retail arbitrage on Amazon is a great way for beginners to make money online.


See this article to learn more about how to make money with Amazon retail arbitrage.


17. Read Books Aloud

voices main landing page

 


If you have a great speaking voice, getting paid to read books aloud is a fantastic route to making money online for beginners.


Platforms such as ACX (Audible) and Voices give users the chance to read and record audio books for authors, offering a steady income stream with flexible hours.


Depending on the platform, you may also find other types of voice over work available.


You will need decent recording equipment and a quiet space to record, as sound quality is obviously the most important element, but reading books aloud is a super simple way for anyone to make a few extra bucks or even a full time living!


See this article to learn more about how to get paid reading books aloud.


18. VA

Upwork VA profile

 


Probably one of the quickest and easiest strategies on my list of how to make money online for beginners (especially teenagers) is to become a virtual assistant.


Platforms like Upwork offer virtual assistants the chance to take on a range of duties for businesses, including managing emails, scheduling appointments, and more.


As long as you have proficient computer skills, good communication and are pretty versatile, you could make a very good living from becoming a VA.


Before signing up for contracts, it’s important to bid for and select jobs you feel confident in handling. Also, never be afraid to sack a client who doesn’t value your work!


19. Content Marketer

Content Marketer at Fiverr 

 


If you love to write, record podcasts, edit videos, work on social media, or anything related to creating content, but don’t want to do it for yourself, then becoming a content marketer for other businesses is likely a great business model for you.


As a content marketer, you can create engaging content for businesses and brands in order to help them increase conversions and engagement on their website or social media channels.


To get started register with a freelance site such as upwork.com or advertise your specific content skills on fiverr.com. As you grow, consider creating your own website or social media account to showcase your skills.


See this article to learn more about the different types of content marketing strategies.


20. SEO Consultant

sample profile of SEO Consultant

 


Are you amazing at data analytics, love to pour over numbers all day, are fascinated by google search, ChatGPT, and have spent the last few years consuming every single SEO video online?


If so, the online world is crying out for awesome SEO consultants. It may seem like the market is oversaturated but a large percentage are crooks or just don’t really know what they’re talking about.


As an SEO consultant, you’ll help businesses and brands improve their visibility in search engine results by utilizing best practices for optimization. To get started as an SEO consultant, you must be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of keyword research, website analysis, content optimization, and link building.


You’ll also need to stay up-to-date with the latest updates in algorithms and trends in the industry.


Ok, so perhaps this isn’t the best example for beginners, but this is an excellent business model for someone who perhaps has had a go at building their own niche site, and hates the content part, but loves the SEO part!


21. Affiliate Marketer

Aamzon Associates - Affiliate Marketer website

 


Affiliate marketing is a great route to make money online as a beginner. Primarily because you don’t have to create any products, sales funnels or backend payment systems, which can get a bit techy.


Instead your job is simply to promote what other people have created and get a cut!


To get started as an affiliate marketer, you’ll need to either start a niche website, grow a social media following or the fastest route is to master social media ads.


Affiliate marketing can be extremely lucrative as long as you’re prepared to research relevant companies with great affiliate programs and focus on quality rather than quantity.


See this article to learn more about how to make money as an affiliate marketer.


22. Dropshipping

Spocket Main page- Dropshipping

 


Dropshipping is a low entry, low cost, hugely competitive route to making money online as a beginner.


The idea is to set up your own online store, or Amazon seller account, find a product that you want to sell from a dropshipping supplier, list it on your website with competitive pricing, and then the supplier ships it directly to the customer.


You don’t brand the product or claim it as yours, other than listing it and selling it via your own shop outlet. You make money from the difference in the price you charged your customer versus the price you pay the supplier.


To be successful with dropshipping you’ll need to work hard to find good suppliers who offer quality products, negotiate fast shipping terms and master social media, content marketing or advertising.


See this article to learn more about how to get started dropshipping.


23. Sell Digital Printables on Etsy

Motivational poster posted for sale at ETSY

 


If you’re a natural creative, selling digital Etsy printables is a super fun way to generate an extra income.


You can create and design your own products in the form of digital downloads such as art prints, planners, calendars, posters and more.


After setting up an Etsy shop, all you need to do is upload your designs, set up pricing for each item, and then start marketing it to potential customers.


There’s no upfront costs, apart from perhaps a Canva subscription and the $0.20 it costs to list your product on Etsy, so it’s a fantastic lifestyle business model for anyone working from home or digital nomads.


See this article to learn more about how to make money on Etsy.


24. Your Own Print on Demand Ecommerce Store

Yoga Zen selling page a sample Your Own Print on Demand Ecommerce Store

 


There are a multitude of ways to approach print on demand.


You can integrate a print on demand app with Etsy and sell directly on their platform. You can create designs and sell products on a print on demand marketplace like Zazzle or Redbubble (covered later in the article).


Or you can create your own online store and produce custom products with your own designs or from licensed art.


What I love about the print on demand ecommerce business model is that you don’t need to maintain any inventory and you can create anything from t-shirts and mugs to phone cases and pillows and have them printed, shipped, and fulfilled directly to the customer whenever they order.

With Print-on-Demand, you have the opportunity to print your own brand and designs on products like t-shirts, phone cases, pillows, hats and even shower curtains. You don’t have to hold any inventory, you simply need to focus on marketing and design, and choose a fulfillment company that will send your customer their product when you receive an order.


In this FREE course you’re learn from serial ecommerce entrepreneur Adrian Morrison, who will teach you the step-by-step process to create your print on demand store from start to scale (the level of success is up to you).

The biggest challenge to the print on demand model is the low profit margins, due to the cost of the products. So your goal would be to create a premium brand and charge higher prices!


The potential for earning passive income is high with print on demand. All you need is a creative mindset, the right tools, and a bit of effort in order to start making money with this fab business model.


See this article to learn more about how to get started with print on demand.


25. Online Surveys

One Opinion Member log in

 


I’m loath to include this option, as there are lots of spammy, crappy survey sites and cash apps. But for the right person, and using the right tools, it is a legitimate way to generate some extra income each month.


By signing up for survey sites such as Survey Junkie, you can make extra income easily by completing short surveys on a variety of topics.


Cash apps like Venmo and Cash App allow you to send and receive money quickly, giving you another way to earn some cash in your spare time. 


Combining these two methods is a great way to supplement your income or pay off debt.


26. Sell Feet Pics

funwithfeet Log in page where you can Sell feet pics

 


A risque but fun strategy on my list of how to make money online for beginners is to sell pictures of your feet! Selling feet pics online is a surprisingly lucrative way to make a lot of money online. This side hustle is more suitable for women.


All you need to do is take some high-quality photos of your feet and upload them onto dedicated feet pic selling websites such as funwithfeet.com or feetfinder.com, set the price and customers will pay to view your pictures.


See this article to learn more about how to make money selling pictures of your feet!


27. Start an OnlyFans Account

OnlyFans sign up page

 


Making money online with OnlyFans is an excellent way to monetize your creative talent.


With the rise of social media, anyone can now become an influencer and make an impact. By signing up for OnlyFans, you can monetize your followers by creating exclusive content that’s only available if they sign up for a subscription package.


You can also ask for donations and create Amazon wishlists.


OnlyFans may have started as more of an adult site and the bulk of accounts certainly still lean that way, but It’s fast becoming a great way how to make money doing what you love – whether it be creating music, videos, podcasts or any other type of creative work!

Becoming an Audible ACX narrator is a great way to use your love for storytelling and make some extra cash.


You can sign up for the ACX platform and record audiobooks for authors or publishers, setting your own rates and hours.

29. Redbubble

items for sale at the Redbubble

 


If you’re an artist or creative, Redbubble is a fantastic way to turn your artwork and designs into profit.


Whether you’re a painter, photographer, or graphic designer, you can easily upload your work onto the platform to be sold as t-shirts, stickers, mugs, prints and more.


The best part is that Redbubble handles all the printing and shipping for you! All you have to do is upload your designs and watch the profits roll in (if only it was that easy!)


The biggest challenge with Redbubble is the low barrier to entry. This makes it extremely hard to be seen. So to compete and make money online as a beginner with Redbubble, you’ll need to upload hundreds if not thousands of designs, consistently over a period of time.


If you’re willing to put in the work and dedication, Redbubble is a fab way to make money from creative endeavors!


See this article to learn more about how to start selling on Redbubble.


30. AI Writing Specialist

Jasper AI Writing Specialist Main page

 


The role of an AI writing specialist is quickly becoming a highly sought after position as more and more AI tools proliferate the market.


With the use of advanced algorithms and automation, AI specialists are able to create high-quality content quickly and efficiently, including social media posts, blog posts, emails, and even short stories.


To make a lot of money as an AI writing specialist, you’ll need to become proficient with AI tools such as ChatGPT or Jasper.ai.


You’ll be a master of research, fact checking and editing, offering quality content in a speedy and competitively priced manner.


If you’re currently earning as a freelance writer, I recommend you study AI writing with some urgency. If you’re just getting started, master this skill and the internet is your oyster for the next few years!


31. The Metaverse

The Metaverse get started page

 


A new kid on the block I’m adding to my list of how to make money online for beginners is to monetize the new technology that is the Metaverse.


Making money online in the Metaverse is a unique side hustle to leverage one of the newest and most exciting technologies.


Through virtual game worlds, users can explore and create their own digital assets and experiences. By trading these assets or providing services on these platforms, you can make money.


While this space is still relatively new, there’s no better time than now to get involved and start building an income from the Metaverse!


See this article to discover the 31 ways to make money from the Metaverse.


32. Build & Flip Blogs

Flippa Main page - Build & Flip Blogs

 


A slightly different online lifestyle business model from the blogging/niche site publishing route, this route to making money online is to buy, improve and flip blogs for profit.


With the help of platforms like Flippa.com, it’s easy to find existing websites for sale that you can buy, make some content and SEO improvements to increase rankings, traffic and profitability and then resell at a higher price.


As a beginner, initially this will take some time as you’ll likely be bootstrapping the process and so will only be able to do one site at a time. But your goal will be, as you sell each site, to reinvest the profits to build a team.


This way you can start to purchase multiple blogs, have your team improve them while you search for more deals, and negotiate selling prices.


If you’re more of a lifestyle entrepreneur than an operator, this could be the ideal business model for you.


33. Start an Email Newsletter

sample of how to Start an Email Newsletter

 


Starting an email newsletter is a great way to make money online for beginners.


When I started back in 2010, building an email newsletter was a laborious process using many different apps and code to link email autoresponder systems with landing pages etc.


These days there are dedicated apps such as Substack or Beehiiv, that take a couple of clicks to register with and start sending a newsletter.


To get started, pick a specific niche that you want to talk about, sign up to a newsletter platform, create some content in advance so you’re always ahead and start promoting your newsletter.


As you grow you can monetize your newsletters either through subscriptions or ad revenue.


A successful newsletter requires dedication, consistency, and quality content to get readers interested and keep them engaged over the long term.


34. Graphic Designer

If you’re great at design, making money online as a graphic designer can be an incredibly rewarding job.


With the right skills, you can create designs for logos, websites, and other digital products that can help businesses stand out from their competitors.


You can also create custom artwork for individuals or organizations that need something unique and personalized.


With tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, FreeLogoCreator.com and Canva, it’s easy to get started and start turning your creative ideas into cash.


See this article to learn about how to make money as a graphic designer.


35. Web Designer

Making money online as a web designer is an ideal job for those with a knack for coding and creativity.


With the help of tools like WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix, you can quickly create websites that are both visually appealing and easy for users to navigate.


To maximize this opportunity, focus on a specific niche such as fitness professionals or food blogs and build up a reputation as the go to website designer for that niche.


To get started finding customers, sign up to a site such as upwork.com and create compelling bids. As you grow and build your reputation and reviews, you can create your own website to showcase your work.


36. Proofreader

 Proofreader profile in Fiverr 

 


If you have an eye for detail, becoming a proofreader is a great way to make money online as a beginner.


You can provide services such as checking documents for spelling, grammar, and syntax errors, or even creating content outlines.

By partnering with the right brands, you can promote products for a commission or even get free product samples. As you grow you can offer custom services to brands such as live product demonstrations, live streams and unboxing videos.


To succeed in this field, it’s important to have a strong social media presence, good creative strategies to reach target audiences, and expertise in working with the Amazon platform.

38. Amazon Handmade

Selling on Amazon Handmade is a great way to capitalize on the booming craft marketplace.


With Amazon’s platform, you can easily showcase your handmade items and reach customers from around the world.


You’ll need to set up your own shop, customize your products, and promote them to get the most out of this opportunity.

With the right skills and tools, you can create stunning visual projects that stand out in the competitive digital landscape.


To get started use freelance sites such as upwork.com to find clients looking for video editors, or advertise your services via social media sites like Instagram.


There are lots of accounts popping up these days showcasing video recording & editing tricks, so have a look and see what others are doing to promote their services.


40. NFT’s

sample Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

 


No 40 on my list of how to make money online for beginners is to create, sell or trade NFTs.


Making money with Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) is a relatively new way of monetizing digital art, collectibles, content and more.


NFTs are unique digital assets that you can own and trade cryptocurrency for on platforms such as OpenSea.


If you’re an artist you can create a collection that you can upload and sell on an NFT marketplace. If you’re a trader you must remember this is all fairly new and not without risk, so only ever spend what you can afford to lose!


41. Trading

While we’re talking about NFT’s and crypto, there are many who make a living trading various assets online every day, week or month.


If you’re investigating this route as a way to make money online check in with who you are as a person first. Trading is about numbers, data and making decisions based on fact not on emotions.


It involves researching stocks, currencies, commodities, new technologies and understanding how markets behave over time.
