You see
this blogging stuff? That is what has been putting food on my family’s table.
People are always holding their phones searching for one thing or the other. Do
you know how much an average blogger made during the Covid-19 outbreak just by
updating the result cases? You will scream when I mention it.
During
that period, we were always anxious to know the movement and the extent of the
deadly and dreaded virus. Dollars were dropping in seconds to the blog
owners.
Blogging
still remains the most popular way of making money online. I am a living
testimony. It is a sure way to make cool money online.
Blogging
is the act of sharing information and ideas. I call blogging the mother of
online business because with a blog you can easily start other online businesses.
If you
start getting a reasonable amount of traffic on your blog site, you can decide
to start other online businesses like affiliate marketing, Sales of online
courses, or even freelancing. Blogging is open to many opportunities that are
just there for you to take advantage of. To start blogging as an online
business, you need to own and manage a blog.
A blog is
a regularly updated website. On a blog, you can share content like sports news,
digital marketing guides, gaming news, and a lot more. Blogging exposes you to
a lot of digital skills such as SEO, Link building, content writing, etc.
Though blogging is lucrative, it takes time and hard work to achieve great
results.
Anybody
can start up a blog. What you need to do is to find out the areas you are good
at. A medical doctor can bring his life-saving knowledge on blog and make cool
money. The Pastors can start a religion blog and upload their sermons on it.
A good cook can create a food niche and teach how
to prepare any kind of dish. A good fashionistas can open a fashion blog and
upload trending photos for people to see. A teacher can teach the world by
creating his or her own blog.
I have a
blog dedicated for teaching people how to grow and tend ‘side-bulb’. Ya bu, afo
onu (beard). One of my friends is blogging on heels and shoes.
What it takes to Earn from a Blog
1. You need a domain name: A domain name
is like a business name. Your blog or website must have a registered name. For
example, the domain name of one of my blogs is hymnslab.com
You will have to buy this domain name. It is very cheap. It
can be bought with as less as $15 (#10).
2. You need a customised website or a
simple blogger blog. You can set up a blog by yourself if you know your way
around the computer or if you understand coding. Apart from knowing how to
code. You can learn how to set up a website from the scratch from a YouTube
video. Just Google; ‘how to create a blog’.
3. When your blog is up and live, you
will need to start publishing your contents on it. Publish as many as you can.
Make sure you did not copy from anywhere. You must begin with original content.
Make your write up long, up to 1,000 word counts.
4. You can then go for monetization.
Google will review your site and either approve or disapprove. If they
disapprove, they will tell you the reason, you will make amend and reapply.
I have 4
websites (when I said websites, I also mean blogs). I just told you how I got
them. On the other hand, we can help you set up your blog. Put content on it
and help you monetize it. We will hand it over to you when it is monetized
and give you the needed tutorials on how to succeed. We charge #70k ($120), this is for the service fee and for developing first 20 contents for the new blog. You can send us email here: [email protected] or WhatsApp: (+234)9094499184 if you want to hire our service.
2. Vlogging
You see
Vlogging, I used to frown at it before. I didn’t like it and so I don’t use to
talk much on it. But last year I started Vlogging. There is more money in
vlogging than in blogging. It is like making huge money by doing nothing.
Vlogging
is simply video blogging. Once you hear Vlogging, we are talking about YouTube.
It is the act of sharing information and ideas in a video format. The most
popular and post-trusted tool for vlogging is YouTube.
Have you
been watching a YouTube video and suddenly an advert pop up? Am sure you have
experienced such and it might surprise you to know that the owner of the video
gets paid by Google each time you view or click on the advert. YouTubers make
millions by just creating and publishing videos on YouTube.
In
Nigeria, you will hear about Mark Angel Comedy, the popular YouTube comedian
that became a millionaire through YouTube. In India, you will hear about Ravi
Gupta, in America, Russia, and Europe; Vloggers are making it big in all parts
of the world. This is to tell you that vlogging is very lucrative.
Somebody
said vlogging, just like in blogging; it requires a lot of hard work to grow.
But I disagree. Vlogging is easier. Do you know you can be in your house and
video how your family brush their teeth every morning and how you cut large bones with your teeth? People will start
viewing it and boom, you are rich.
How to start aVlog
Like I told
you, it is not as tedious as setting up a blog. Vlogging is set for free and it
is very easy. If you know how to create a Facebook account, you can create a
YouTube.
If you don’t
have a YouTube on your Phone already, go to the Playstore, search for YouTube,
and Install it.
Then go the
Google search and search ‘YouTube sign up’. You will be asked to sign up with
your Gmail account or your Facebook. Please, always use your Gmail account. If
you are confused, you can ask someone to help out.
What does it take to
Earn with YouTube?
1. Upload videos
2. Share your videos so people can watch
it.
3. You have up to 1,000 subscribers
4. You must have 4,000 watch hours: That
is, all the videos you uploaded, total number of time they are viewed must
reach up to 4,000 hours.
When you
reach the above criteria, YouTube will mail you to tell you have qualified to
make earn money. In doing the above, make sure you follow the rules given to
you. You don’t go and copy any song you see and upload, you will be penalized.
When you are starting, source for your own original videos or you can go for Creative
common videos.
3. Make Money
on Amazon KDP
If you are
good writer and you are not making money already on Amazon KDP, it is not late.
Amazon KDP is an online book thrift that allows authors to self-publish their
books and sell in soft copies, hard copies and hard paper back.
They will
make the sales for you and pay at the end of every month. I receive my Amazon
book sales payment every 21st and 22nd. I have published
over 30 books on Amazon since 2019. You can check this name on Google; ‘Njide
Mkparu Books on Amazon’
If you have old
books or projects you have written while in school, you can get the soft copies
and publish them on Amazon and start making money. You can Google, ‘how to
publish book on Amazon’ for more details. Publishing on Amazon is free. It
costs nothing.
4. Freelancing
This is
the best I will recommend to newbies online. Freelancing is the act of using
your skill (mostly digital skills) to make money online.
To start
freelancing, you must first have the skill to market. The skill can be content
writing, graphic design, video editing, or any services you think someone may
need online. The reason I recommended this for beginners is that there are
simple skills like graphic design and content writing which you can learn in a
month and start making money online.
Sites
like Upwork, Fiverr, and freelancer are sites you can register and market your
online skill.
Forget
the grammar in the above paragraphs, freelancing means working independently at
your own comfort. Content creation remains the best and popular form of freelancing.
I was once a freelancer and I knew what I made from it. We are going to discuss
freelancing in the subsequent chapters.
5. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate
marketing is marketing products and services for brands and earning a
commission. Affiliate marketing can be a good option if you are good at
referral. You can pick up a product like canva (a graphic design service) and
recommend it to bloggers or even business owners who are in need of graphics
for their business.
When you
do this, canva will give you commission for doing so. You can also market
physical products and earn a commission. Some recommended sites to start
affiliate marketing in Nigeria are Jumia, Amazon, Shareasale, expertise, and a
lot more.
Quick tip-
Affliate
marketing is better when you have a blog. You don't need to go around the
internet looking for people to purchase your product. You can just make a blog
post and market it.
6. Buy and Sell Bitcoin
Cryptocurrency
is seriously taking the internet with surprise. After the massive outburst of
bitcoin, many other digital coins started rising too.
Crypto
money is just like blood money. You don't need to do any work, all you need do
is to buy coins in large amount and keep it till they rise.
Where do
you buy these coins? You can buy from registered coin vendors at a cheaper rate
or you can decide to buy for a friend and resale when it rises.
Disclaimer: People who are into Bitcoin and
crypto currency claim they make it big. However, I have seen people cry woes
because their hard-earned money dipped in Crypto. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO
ANYONE. I HAVE NEVER TRADED ON bitcoin.
7. E-commerce
E-commerce
is simply buying and selling products online. E-commerce business is very
profitable. In fact, one of the world's richest men Jeff Bezos got his wealth
from his e-Commerce business.
Starting
e-commerce is not as hard as so many think. You can start by posting your
product on your social media account and grow from there. The Internet made
marketing so interesting, you can sell goods without even getting to see the
product, this method is called Dropshipping.
All you
need do is to create an eCommerce store, place products for purchase, and when
a user clicks to but it will direct the user to the manufacturer. The
manufactures will now ship the product to the buyer. It's easy and simple; you
just have to get to work.
8. Dropshipping
Dropshipping
is one of the best ways to make money in Nigeria especially if you have good
marketing skills. It is all about product marketing strategy where you market
products without having the product.
It is
also an e-commerce business but here you don't need to own a warehouse or store
for your product. Here is how dropshipping works: you create an online store.
When
customers make orders through you, you will now send their request to the
dropshipping company who whose job now is to send the product to the customer
9. Social media marketing
Social media
marketing is the act of using social media to market products or services.
Social media marketing can be a good way to start your online journey as a
beginner.
This is
because people now spend more time on social media. So, you can channel the
energy you use in chatting and doing other stuff online to making money.
You can work for start-up companies that are looking for social media managers to manage their blogs. Or, you can decide to market your own products or even affiliate products.
10. Virtual Assistance
A virtual
assistant is an independent worker who offers services to customers while
working from a location other than the clients'. A virtual assistant generally
works from home but has remote access to crucial planning materials such as
shared calendars.
To start
a career as a virtual assistant, you need few skills. Some of them include
communication skills, time management skills, typing skills, and a lot more.
The last thing I should talk about virtual assistant business is where to get
jobs.
Freelance
sites like Fiverr, Upwork, and freelancer are the best places to start.
Register with these websites and get clients to hire you.
11. Create and sell online courses
This is another
good way to earn money online, but here you have to have knowledge of
something. Here is how it works:
Maybe you
know the graphic design too well, you create a course that will teach beginners
graphic design and sell it to those that need to learn graphic design. This
course you will be creating can inform of an ebook, a video tutorial, or even
an audio guide.
Whatever it
is you want to teach people through creating online courses, you should make
sure that you are a professional in that field. Another thing is how to market
the course you created. You can register with Udemy or skillshare. These
platforms are great for marketing online courses.
Ways to make money online - Conclusion
There are
many other ways to make money online in any country you find yourself in.
However, the ones I just mentioned are the main ones.
I don't know
for others, but to me the best way to make money online is to learn a skill and
monetize it. Am not really a fan of reading news and get paid or other Ponzi
schemes but if it worked for you, good luck with that.
