After my article on 7 streams of income, I have been asked "what are you meant to do if you do not have time and your job leaves you just over broke", so i'll be assuming most of these people are looking for a way to start a convenient side hustle.
There are millions of ways and hundreds of strategies for make some money and this narrows with your unique needs and your skills, earning a respectable amount of cash, and doing it quickly, might be well within your reach.
The internet being the glorious thing that it is, has opened way more doors than we can give it credit. No matter where you're from or what you do for a living, thanks to the conveniences afforded to us by the internet, making money is no longer a constant and never-ending struggle.
With the world at our fingertips, as long as you know how to tap into the vast amount of opportunities found in the digital ether of cyberspace, you can earn some extra income, even if you're in a tight bind.
Some of the strategies listed below offer a quick fix for making some money, others will take a sizeable investment of your time. Either way, select a method that fits within your skill set and ensure that you deliver a serious amount of value. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about.
1. Become an affiliate marketer.
You know those guys who advertise stuff on instagram or share discount codes to stores or personal links to party tickets,those are the modern day marketers.
Affiliate marketing is an extremely alluring industry, noted, many affiliate marketers don't make much money. If you have the skills it takes to succeed in this arena, you could quite literally make a small fortune. But be careful not to get drawn into pie-in-the-sky hopes or dreams of making money without putting in much effort.
2. EBook Author.
I've long been drawn to the passive income supplied by creating an eBook and publishing an accompanied print-on-demand paperback.
Companies like amazon have made it easy to empower entrepreneurs, by using platforms like KDP and CreateSpace, you can create an easily create and sell an eBook that costs nothing to produce, and a paperback that earns you money only when it sells, removing much of the prior friction it took to get published.
3. Sell services on a freelancing website.
Okay I can't write about side hustles without screaming about freelancing!! Fiverr helped give birth to the Gig Economy. Services start out at $5, some Fiverr sellers are earning six-figure-plus revenues annually. You can sell just about anything on this platform, but to succeed and become a Super Seller, you need to deliver massive amounts of value, and you'll need to treat it like a full-time job when you have a task at hand.
If fiverr isn't your speed there are many others Upwork, Toptal, PeoplePerHour, Simply Hired,Writer Access, to name a few.
4. Create an online course.
Create an online course with a platform like Udemy (free) or Teachable and leverage some of your skills to create a healthy income. Depending upon how much time you invest in your course, you could make a substantial side revenue stream by creating courses that deliver tremendous amounts of value.
5. Create an online platform.
Okay, so you won't make money that fast with these. But, if you start and deliver enormous amounts of value, you could set yourself up with a platform for ending a tremendous amount of passive income. This is something you can easily build on the side with just a few hours of work per week, but you need to stay consistent and post great content regularly.
