When it comes to financial freedom, you need to look at other options than just your day job. There’s a saying that a job will never make you rich and that’s quite true. True success lies in having more than one form of income, creating passive income and earning money while you sleep. There are dozens of ways you can make money through the internet and in time, you can even leave your job and work solely on your online ventures. We will now take a look at 4 ways you can make money online and achieve your dream of financial freedom.
Affiliate Marketing
One popular way to make money online is to do affiliate marketing. This type of marketing is when you promote and sell another person or company’s product or service and you get a percentage of the sale. For example, if you’re promoting a product and it costs $100 and the affiliate commission is 30%, then you will get 30% of that sale which is $30. So, the more of that product you sell, the more income you’ll generate.
There are many ways that you can sell affiliate products but the main methods are through PPC or paid ads and SEO (search engine optimization). If you use the paid ad method, you will basically need to create and test various ads that lead the potential customer onto a landing page where the product is being sold. Then, you tweak your targeting, ad copy and even traffic sources to create profitable campaigns. Alternatively, you can do SEO where you build out websites around the affiliate product or services and then get high rankings on Google. The higher your rankings, the more traffic you’ll get which you can convert into customers based on your web page copy and how well you persuade visitors to buy.
Drop Shipping
Another popular method of making money online is through drop shipping. This is when you create an e-commerce store and sell products to visitors. However, the products are physical products and they are often sourced from places like China and India. Unlike typical stores, the drop shipping model does not require you to buy stock and hold it in a warehouse. You will be basically purchasing from the manufacturer or merch maker who will mail the product directly to your customer, but they will do so under your company’s brand. As a result, you don’t have to spend any money bulk purchasing products and you only buy products when you get a sale.
You are able to make a profit because you will be purchasing each product from the manufacturer or wholesaler at a low price, but selling it on a retail basis, for a much higher price. It can be challenging to find great products to resell and tie together the entire process, but there are services such as Oberlo, that help you gather a wide range of dropshipping products and that completely simplify the entire business model.
Sell Books On Kindle
Thirdly, we will look at selling books on Kindle. Thanks to Amazon Kindle, just about anyone can write a book and self publish it on their Kindle platform. You no longer need to go through publishing houses and only get a small percentage of your book’s sales. With Amazon Kindle, you can create and add as many books as you wish and even do so under a pen name. Amazon has millions of people already on the platform, so you don’t even have to do much in the way of marketing. However, the trick with Kindle publishing is that you need to create content that is in demand and will sell. Some of the best categories to go into include fiction, romance and self help. This is a great way to build up a passive income and you don’t even have to write the books yourself.
Trade Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency has become very popular in recent years and the market is quite volatile. As a result, it is possible to create a fortune by buying and sell cryptocurrency or even holding it for many years. In order to start trading cryptocurrency, you will need to choose a cryptocurrency wallet and then find an exchange that you can trade on. This exchange works in a similar way to the stock exchange, however, the crypto exchange is not a part of the stock exchange. Before you start trading, it is important that you have a good idea on how trading works and a good knowledge of the various coins. This will require study and research and you should never trade with money that you absolutely require for daily survival.
Conclusion
In closing, we have just looked at four ways that you can earn more income and finally become financially free. It will take a great deal of time and work, however, once you choose one method and stick with it, you will be successful.
