How to make money online.

The only way you can make money online in a legit way without breaking the law is through:

  • Getting a high-income skill.
  • Using that skill to solve someone's problem
  • Then that person pays you for your services.

High-income skills are such as:

  1. Web Development and Web design
  2. Technical Writing
  3. Marketing and sales
  4. Affiliate Marketing
  5. Copywriting
  6. SEO
  7. Project Management
  8. Video Editing

To make a lot of money online, you need multiple sources of income.

So far, I only have three sources of income. Those sources of income are:

  • Technical Writing
  • Sponsored posts
  • Affiliate Marketing

Technical Writing has made me more than $1,000 online, while sponsored posts have made me almost $500. However, I have only made $25 with affiliate marketing.

If you are interested in Technical Writing and want to make money online, check out the articles below.

Affiliate marketing is about promoting products and getting a commission every time someone buys a product through your affiliate link.

The best way to get started with affiliate marketing is by buying a product and using it. Then, if it solves your problem, you can start promoting it by joining the product's affiliate program.

I have been promoting two products(ebooks), and the one that has given me the best results is Twitter Toolkit.

It teaches you everything you need to know about Twitter growth strategies.

The Twitter Toolkit ebook has helped me to:

  • Come up with unlimited tweet ideas,
  • Learn how to write Twitter threads
  • Make meaningful connections.

As I have continued creating valuable content on Twitter, my account has grown, and I have been getting more opportunities.

The funny thing is that all the money I have made online; has come through my Twitter account.

Look at these two screenshots showing before I got the ebook in November 2021 and after I got the ebook in January 2022.

My Financial Goal

My financial goal is to make $1,000 online every month. However, in January 2022, I only made close to $700. That means I need to work harder.

I will make this possible by creating multiple sources of income.

Those streams of income will be:

  • Writing Technical Articles
  • Selling digital products
  • Affiliate Marketing
  • Sponsored posts

Conclusion

All you need to make money online is to get a skill, keep improving and then find someone who can pay you. Don't give up when things don't turn out as you expect.

It is what I call a good article that promotes real ways to make money online. All the others offer you to get thousands of dollars just from air, and those schemes look neither real nor legal.
Thank you for explaining how to make money online without paying anything. I especially like the part about getting a high-income skill because this is what I plan to do in the future. This way is the safest because important skills are always needed in the market. You will always have a job if you are a good professional and you can learn. There are so many directions to develop your skills that everyone can find something for themselves instead of breaking the system and making money from air.
