Thanks to technology’s
‘ever-pervading permeation’ into every part of our lives and society, there are
now ways to make money online, aside the traditional and conventional ways.
Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 effective ways to make
money online.
Doing
freelance work
You can pick up on some
online freelance work to help you make money online, all you need to have is a
skill to sell for freelance work. If you are writer, web designer or you have
any other sellable skill, you can begin to sell your skill right away on social
media platforms etc. If you don’t have a sellable skill, you can pick one up
and develop on it till you become very good at it. Aside social media
platforms, there are also many ‘freelance marketplaces’ online that you can
take advantage of. These marketplaces are all designed with the aim of
providing you with a place to sell your services and provide clients with a
place to find good quality freelancers.
Blogging
This is a common way of
making money online and basically involves setting up a blog, keeping it
regularly updated with content relevant to your intended audience and sticking
with it until you are able to gain a regular readership base. Once you are able
to gain a regular readership base, you’ll be able to monetize the blog. One way
of monetizing your blog includes the use Google Adsense for standard advert
rates. Also, as your blog grows you are more likely to be approached by
companies and brands looking to advertise their products or services and do
publicity through your blog, and of course you are free to charge them for
this. After a while, running your own blog will become financially beneficially
to you and well worth your time.
Affiliate
marketing
Here you don’t need to
have a product before you can earn because there are a lot of products already
available for you to market or promote, and you get a commission for every sale
made through your link. You can consider sites like clickbank.com or amazon.com
to sell these products or services. There are of course other legitimate sites
you can consider, you only need to do your research. In addition, if you can
afford it, you can also buy a website, work on improving the SEO for the
website and use it to promote thousands of products.
Sell
photos online
If you’re into
photography, and you have cache of nice photos, you can consider selling them
through sites like Shutterstock and iStockPhoto, which are two of the biggest
photo resources online. All of you need to do is proper research to find out
the terms and conditions guiding the use of these sites, and also their terms
of payment. The competition on these sites might be stiff, but if you believe
your pictures are very good, then with creativity and persistence, you’ll
eventually succeed with them.
