Many online job opportunities exist that allow individuals to work

you’ve performed the job. Be proactive and take steps to avoid these
issues by only working for established companies verified by us.
Somehow the money we make after working 40 hours for someone else just isn’t enough. What if your unemployed, a student, a kid, or a straight up lazy? If you have a few minutes of free time, you have a few minutes of time that you can turn in dollar dollar bills yaaaalll.
Below I’ve compiled a list of ways you can make money without having any or little to invest. This list assumes you have the basic resources that most people in first world countries have (a smart phone, a laptop or access to one).
1. Affiliate Marketing
You can Google or search on Youtube and you will find enough resources to teach you how to do this is your sleep. Many people say that affiliate marketing is dead but the truth is that they’ve just got lazy.
Affiliate marketing is the promotion of someone else’s product (Anything on Amazon, plane tickets, cat food, online courses) on your platform. Once you’ve done an excellent job promoting their product, the consumer will click on your link that will redirect them to the seller’s platform(Amazon, domain.com) and buy their product. In turn you will get paid a commission.
Some ways to utilize affiliate marketing are:
· Youtube
· Email marketing
· Influencers
· Content Creation
2. Youtube
We all have a smart phone and have access to wifi as long as you can get into a library or sit near a Starbucks. Now a days the camera on a smart phone is up to par with a decent DSLR camera.
What is stopping you from recording your day? Or even talking about something your good at, or curious about, or even documenting your surroundings? At first it seems like no one would be interested in what you have to offer, but know that SOMEONE would be.
With Youtube, you can make money lots of ways:
Affiliate Marketing- Even though discussed above, I’ll touch on it here. By reviewing products or talking about ANYTHING being sold online, you have the opportunity to make money.
Influencer Percs- As you start to grow a following, you can always partner with other Youtubers or companies trying to sell products that streamline with your channel. People will pay you to shout them out, talk about their Shopify store and the opportunities are endless.
Ad Revenue- You won’t start to see this until you really start to grow. But when you do, you’ll see an OK payout. This will never be the main source of your income.
3. Buy Stuff Sell Stuff
Seems too simple right? This is how I built most of my capital when starting my business. As a matter of fact, I’ve scaled this method to become one of my biggest forms of income today. Here a few different levels on how to buy stuff, sell stuff
Retail Arbitrage- This is the easiest/low risk way to buy stuff, sell stuff. I can lay it out super simple. Go to WalMart or any discount store. Look at products that seem marked down. Check out the prices they are selling for on Amazon, Ebay, Offer Up, Facebook Marketplace, and others. If you see a margin for profit buy it and list it. If it doesn’t sell, return the item and find something else.
Yard Sale-ing- The season is coming up. One mans trash is another mans treasure. Similar to the previous buy stuff, sell stuff tactic but a bit more risky. You can’t return these items so do your research. After few rides around the block you’ll start to get an eye for what’s worth it and what’s not. The pros to this method is that you can haggle and get a better bang for your buck
Amazon- If you have a bit more capital this method may suit you best. Of course the con is that it’s the biggest risk. You can search Alibaba for suppliers willing to sell you low quantities of supplies at a reasonable price(Not many suppliers will but there are a handful that might. Trust me I found one). You can fulfill the Amazon orders yourself (FBM- Fullfilled by Merchant) or you can send the supplies to Amazon and have them fulfill the order(FBA- Fullfilled by Amazon) for an additional cost)
4. Sell Your Stuff
We all have loads of random things laying around the house that we haven’t touched in so long. This year alone I’ve sold an old digital camera I haven’t used in more than 5 years. I also sold a bicycle that I thought I would use but never did.
I went through a ‘fat phase’ (still partially going through one now) and I owned a lot of expensive clothes. If you can’t tell I used to be materialistic. I started giving them away and noticed I was making a huge mistake. So I started selling them. Here are a few ways I got rid of them.
· Facebook Marketplace
· On my personal Facebook Page
· Ebay
· Upscale thrift store
5. Freelancing
Despite what we would all like to think, we have SOMETHING to offer. Find what you’re good at and have someone pay you to do it. Again, all you need to access to a computer.
Here are some of the things you can do to free lance
· Ghost writer- create articles or written content for people who need it. People launching new websites need a shit ton of content and have no time to write it
· Video Editing- Everyone wants to be a Youtuber right? But if you don’t want to, maybe you can edit their work. Most of the time a new Youtuber has crappy edits and needs a load of help.
· Social Media Marketing- You more than likely know how to post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others right? Assuming you do, help local small businesses that don’t have the time to do it. I mean you spend most of you time on here anyways right?
· Freelance photography- Can you take pictures and make them look ‘nice’? Well not many people can’t
· Graphic Design
· Website Design
· Microsoft skills- You have no idea how many people don’t know how to do the ridiculous tasks that school drilled into our heads. I know someone who once paid a freelancer $300 to copy names, emails and phone numbers for members of a Orthopedic Association Group. FYI there were 4000 members.
The list goes on. Check out Fiverr. They have endless ideas for freelancers. You can post your talents and start to get paid.
6. Work For Free
I know this sounds ridiculous BUT if you have the time DO IT. Working for free opens you up to free experience and free exposure. Offer your specific services (not help) to people and companies in places where you want to be.
For instance, offer your services to your local marketing agency or social media influencers. Find your talent and give it away for free and it’s likely that your efforts will pay off.
As we progress and technology continues to break our mental barriers, more opportunities present themselves. Where you find a bit of hustle mixed with creativity, money will appear very closely. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
