We really appreciate you taking the time to read our blog page. Once upon a time, we were in your exact position.
With no idea where to start; a bunch of fake gurus providing misleading information just to redirect us back to buying their overpriced courses, and just becoming overwhelmed with information, and just simply wanting to know it all.
With all that being said, let's get into the first way you can start making some money online.
Set up an Instagram and TikTok accounts.
Start creating content based on a niche you're passionate about. Some popular niches would include (Motivation, Health & Fitness, Business, Investing, Side Hustles, Books, etc.).
Don't overthink this process. As long as you enjoy posting about whatever it is you choose, that's all that matters. Once you find a niche you want to center your content around, you can start small by including affiliate offers.
There are many sites to choose from (Clickbank, JvZoo, ShareAsale, CJ affiliates, Amazon affiliates, and Blue Host). You'll vary from digital to physical products between these sites.
After finding a product, you can then plug these offers into your bio on Instagram and Tiktok. More followers = more potential sales.
Posting more UGC (user-generated content) content is the best of all. You'll build a much better relationship and connection with your followers. Think of these platforms as free traffic for your website or (link in bio).
Post 3x–5x per day and stay consistent. Yes, it'll be hard. But it's going to be worth it for as long as social media exists. Think 1 year from now, not 2 months from now. We're not pitching you a get-rich-quick scheme. This is for true grinders who want to build a long-lasting brand of their own.
Start an agency that offers to run ads and create content for other clients, and
social media businesses.
This one is more for experienced advertisers. You can learn how to run advertisements for your personal brand and other bigger brands.
This is an amazing way to scale your Instagram business to even greater heights! For instance, if a client asks us to run their Facebook ads for them, we'd be able to charge anywhere from 3 to 4 figures for a few split-test converting ads.
Imagine having just 3 clients per month selling your services/advertising courses for $1000 each! This is the power of Instagram. It's made to drive traffic in order to get potential clients, so why not take your cut of the pie?
Distribute your content throughout different social media platforms.
Although Instagram is a powerhouse for millions of businesses worldwide, it's smart to use more than one platform! Instagram is just one app in the entire internet eco-system.
Updated* Since Tiktok is a real monster, we'd suggest you start getting in on the action ASAP!
For an example, you can use:
- Youtube
- TikTok
This gives you a much greater chance of being seen by the masses! You'll see the domino effect in your marketing.. This is pretty easy to do and so effective! You'll be scaling to 10k months in no time!
Start a drop-service store reselling Fiverr services on a professional website.
This one could become a bit more broad. You don't have to stick with just reselling services, but you can also drop ship products using a website as well.
Drop servicing is the practice of selling a service or product to a customer for a certain price (let's say $200). Then, hiring someone else to provide the service for the client at a lower price ($150) and pocketing the difference without the client knowing you outsourced the deal.
Don't be alarmed if you think this is illegal; it's not. Think of a real estate property manager. They find the house and client, but if it needs renovations, they pay someone else to do so. Drop service or drop shipping simply makes you the middle man.
Sell an eBook or course in a niche that you're knowledgeable about.
This one is probably the easiest method to make money online in our experience! It makes it easier considering you're able to promote products that actually worked for you and that you know will help others. If you're into cooking and know really delicious recipes, you can create an eBook or even a series of courses teaching people exactly how it's done! Charge your course for $150 and your eBook for $15 and watch the sales come pouring in!
Create an email list.
Don't worry, you can start yours for free using Mailchimp. You can add up to 1000 subscribers for free! We've personally used this email marketing app when we first started out. It's user friendly and great for generating your first leads!
If you're into making money online, then I'm sure you've heard of email marketing. This is such an important piece in anyone's business! Imagine driving 1000 people to your landing page and missing out on 900 because you forgot to capture their email. Now imagine collecting 900 emails instead. This allows you to always be in contact with them and will help maximize your sales potential!
Offer a free product and put it behind a CPA offer wall to get paid per lead.
This is extremely powerful. Similar to Amazon's bounty program, you can get paid for just getting someone to opt for a free offer!
The most well-known version of this for most people is Amazon's Audible, which allows affiliates to be paid $5 per signup for a free trial. Yes, it's possible for you to get paid like this.
Another example would be how every time you search for something on Google, there's always that top result which most likely has "Ad* beside it. Whoever is running this ad for CPA offers is getting paid depending on how many people sign up and the majority of people will sign up for something that is FREE!
Coaching Services
If you're up to it, you could start selling on your own time, but not like a 9-5. Coaching people is your own personal business. You can charge whatever you'd like depending on multiple different factors.. If you are a fitness influencer, you could charge up to $2000 per client or more! 5 clients a month is $10K per month! Think about that!
This isn't limited to influencers; you can charge people for whatever skill you have that people want to learn!
Web Design
This one isn't as hard as you think. Just like with all of these options, it'll take time to learn. People are selling fresh websites for $1000 a pop. You can sell funnels, email marketing campaign strategies, landing pages, and more. Really, it takes an effort to learn all of these skills.
Public Figure (Influencer)
I'm sure you've seen many people out there trying to become ambassadors for these high-prestige brands doing what they do in their regular lives.
This one isn't for everyone at first, but with a little confidence, consistency, and spunk, I promise you that this is possible for anyone.
It's really about developing a pure connection and relating with as many people as possible across the globe. How do people achieve this? There are multiple ways to do this. I could be here all day telling you different ways. But what I'll do is give a few examples of people who've set their families up for life just by being themselves. Your TikTok sensations: Charli D'amelio, Addision Rae, those are a few off the top of my head. But seriously, they weren't celebrities before TikTok arrived!
And that's that!
Hopefully, we sparked your interest in starting your own social media brand. It's really not as hard as you think it is. There are people out there with half your talent running multiple theme pages to their financial benefit, so why can't you?
This is your sign to start today!
If you're an action taker, we'd suggest not waiting on this, Imagine you wait another 4 months procrastinating the thought. You'll be 4 months older and in the same situation. Don't be that person.
Here's an easy guide to help you get started for the price of a cheeseburger!
Don't hesitate. Your whole life could be different if you really think about it.
