Is it really possible to collect money from the Internet?
And can I use the time I spend on social media platforms to start a money – making project?
Our mission in the Faranadh platform is to spread some ways of making money off the Internet.

 

In this article, you’ll discover the top 7 ways anybody can generate income online.

One of the great things about the internet is that you can go into business for yourself from the comfort of your home. All you need is an internet connection, and you can make money online.

Diving into the online world will free you from the daily 9 to 5 grind of a desk job and afford you more time to travel, indulge in hobbies, and spend time with the family.

Another plus is that there are so many different ways to make money online.

To start, all you have to do is identify the profitable niche market appropriate for you.

After that, there’s no need to hire staff, rent space, or purchase expensive furniture (unless you want to).

Here are a mix of tried and true online ventures, as well as new businesses and niches:

1. Selling with Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Cragslist

One of the quickest ways to get started selling online is to leverage the power of third-party sites.

E-commerce giants like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Craigslist are powerful sales and marketing platforms with a built-in prospect base. Millions of people regularly shop on these sites, and the numbers keep growing. 

These mega-sites make it easy to set up shop so customers can browse your products, and there’s no need to build your own website.

Also, you’ll find a built-in search feature so that interested buyers can easily find your online storefront. Plus, you get to use the site’s shopping cart. In short, you avoid a lot of the expense and hassle of setting up an independent e-commerce website.

Amazon: With Amazon, you can even have them fulfil your orders.

The digital retailer also says there are more than two million sellers on their website, representing 40 percent of all sales. Another benefit of using Amazon (as well as these other third-party sites) is that people already trust them and are more likely to buy off of them then from your own independant website if you had one.  

eBay: With eBay, the procedure is very similar. You simply start by becoming an eBay seller and stay in good standing by making sure your PayPal account is verified, and then you can sign up for your store.

These three steps allow you to piggyback on eBay’s reputation, reach, and sales and marketing infrastructure in order to sell your own products.

Though you can list a single price on eBay the big benefit of their platform is the auction system which let’s your prospective buyers get into bidding wars – driving up the price you can sell at with the items you are listing.

Etsy: If you’re crafty, Etsy is where you should set up shop.

The web portal is focused on handcrafted and unique one-of-a-kind items and has 1.5 million sellers around the world.

And, like Amazon and eBay, you can set up your own online shop on Etsy’s site.

Craigslist: Perhaps one of the oldest sites when it comes to listing items for sale this is still a great place to list and sell items.

All four of these sites are a very easy way to start your digital career, although you do have to pay fees ranging from $0.99 per item for Amazon, to $0.10 for eBay,to $0.20 for Etsy.

2. Niche E-commerce

As a startup internet entrepreneur, you’re not competing with e-commerce titans or major retailers like Walmart. You also don’t need a warehouse or a logistics system to sell your wares.

What you do need to succeed is to narrow-focus. In other words, find your niche, and stick to it. That way you become the go-to expert and appear high in the search engine rankings.

The most important thing is that there has to be a market for your niche. For example, you might have a passion for 16th-century French poetry, but you won’t attract a lot of readers.

When it comes to e-commerce the key is to have a very specialized focus that attracts a very specific audience.

3- Affiliate Marketing

You may already know that affiliate marketing is one of the oldest online moneymakers out there.

Here’s how it works:

1- As an internet entrepreneur, you’ll need your own web presence: website, blog, social media platforms, landing pages, sales pages, banner ads, or e-commerce site. But instead of selling your own products, you sell the products of other companies. You can use several of these combinations, if you like, as long as you get your marketing message to the public.

2- Then, pick a hot affiliate niche market; one with many potential customers. Look at social media to ID trends and see what’s hot on sites like Amazon and CJ Affiliate, for example.

3- Provide important content and marketing messages aimed at your prospects.

4- When customers on your digital platform click on a link to make a purchase, they are taken to your affiliate partner’s site to complete the transaction—and you get a commission for every completed sale. The best part is you don’t have to deal with shipping or customer service.

5- Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and easiest ways to start an online busniess because all you have to do is promote the products. You don’t have to worry about creating products, setting up payment and delivery systems, or handle customer support.

6- You just simply drive the traffic and get them to click over to the companies you are promoting as an affiliate and if a sales is made you get a comission for referring that sale.

4. Blogging

Old-fashioned blogging is alive and thriving. If you provide valuable content on a regular basis, you attract like-minded people interested in your niche information and products.

Your readers are compelled to keep reading to find out more and buy.

These people are primed to buy your products either via ads or affiliate links in your posts. Why? Because you’ve been providing useful free (targeted) content and people have come to know and trust you. 

Also, you make your site / online storefront attractive in the eyes of Google by regularly adding useful information in the form of articles, videos, etc.

This results in higher rankings in Google’s search engine so, hopefully, you appear on page one because most people don’t go to page two on Google.

There are many ways you can monetize a blog and the taffic you get to it. You can promote products as an affiliate, promote your own products and services, and have ads on your blog as well.
