Super Hot Ways To Make Money Online - I


Hey guys,

Sorry, I kept you all waiting.

They say that “if you’re not informed, you’re deformed”. A lot of persons are deformed when it comes to knowing what it takes to make money online.

To make money, be it online or offline entails creating value for a large number of people who can afford to pay for whatever it is you’re offering. And the value you create should meet a need, solve a problem, or provide some form of satisfaction to anyone that patronises your product / service.

Okay, let’s cut straight to the chase.

Here are some time-tested opportunities that exist online: Blogging, Freelancing, eCommerce, Social Media Marketing, Digital Publishing, Copywriting, Affiliate Marketing, etc. This isn’t all, but then these ones are popular, proven, and profitable. We’ll discuss them together.

Leggo…


1. BLOGGING
Blogging is quite lucrative, you can ask Linda Ikeji. That’s why a lot of people have joined the bandwagon. According to blogging.org (state of the blogging world, 2016) there over 300 million blogs on the internet. That’s just as at 2016, but then, not all of them are doing it right and making the money.

That’s one big reason you should follow this thread pants down and consume all the profitable info like watermelon.

The internet ushered us into this present golden age wherein ‘valuable’ knowledge and information is now gold. Blogging is about sharing your passion, knowledge and expertise on a particular subject matter. As a blogger you share your know-how to people who desire to learn and know more about the niche you cover.

Wordpress, Blogger, or Tumblr makes it easy to setup and manage a blog. You can blog about almost anything under the sun as long as many people are interested in the niche. Mark the word ‘many’, if you blog about something that people don’t give a damn about, you’re on your own.

In a nutshell, the blogging business model is --> (a) setup blog (b) create/post content (c) drive traffic (d) repeat steps b & c

The factors that will determine the success of your blog are: niche, contents, and traffic. They’re the foundation and if you get them right, your blog issa goal. Every other stuff rests squarely on those 3 wise men.

Let’s pause here for now.

I appreciate your comments, keep them coming.

Have anything to add, or ask, nor siddon look…. Shoot it!

There’s love in spreading valuable info, don’t keep this to yourself.

Warm regards.

2. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
We all use social media networks. But for clarity sake, Social Media are social networks, community, or platforms that help individuals and brands to connect, interact, create and share contents on the internet.

In other words, Social Media Marketing is the act of creating content (pictures, video, text, etc) that is carefully designed to achieve certain business and brand goals. These goals can be: driving traffic to your website / store, creating awareness about your product / services, lead generation, etc.

So, Social Media isn't just about posting pictures and connecting with friends and loved ones, it's way beyond that. These social platform like facebook, instagram, etc help individuals and brands to reach their target market (customers) which is a very key aspect of running a business. If you can't reach your customers, how will you make sales, let alone make a profit. In fact, that business is dead on arrival.

If you want to succeed in this make money online thing, you must understand that the role and impact of social media and how to use it effectively to market your product and services.

Recently, Kylie Jenner was estimated to be worth $900 million by Forbes. She made all that money courtesy of her cosmetic line of products which she sells like pure water on Instagram. Social Media means business!

A lot us are on social media, but how many are maximizing its potential. Let's learn to leverage this powerful tool this 21st century has handed to us.

In addition, you can become a Social Media Marketing Consultant to individuals and businesses or even start an Agency that helps organisations with their social media marketing. This will entail you being knowledgeable on how the various social media channels work and be proficient on how to deploy them to help your clients achieve their business goals.

I trust you found value in this post.

AFFILIATE MARKETING

You’ve probably heard or read about some of these hot ways to make money online. But, the big question is: “how many are getting it right and TRULY making money from it?”

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves… First things, first.

So, what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is simply a marketing system whereby an individual, or business grants internet marketers (affiliates) PERMISSION TO SELL / PROMOTE a product or service for a commission. The commission to be earned by an affiliate (marketer promoting a product / service) is dependent on the terms and conditions laid out by the seller.

In other words, say company A has a products called ‘X’. Company A will send out invitations to people who are interested in promoting product X to sign up as affiliates. The invitations can be sent via email or as ads on the internet. Depending on the product, affiliates could earn commissions as high as 75%.

Usually, individuals / businesses provide sales materials and will set up a landing page with product description or sales copy that will convert prospect to buyers. All the affiliate marketer needs to do is to send web traffic to the landing page of the product he/she is promoting.

Some big online marketplaces like Amazon, Clickbank, JVZoo, Clicksure are places online marketers can sign up for affiliate marketing.

An affiliate will ONLY earn a commission when the prospect he/she sends to the seller’s product / service landing page performs a certain DEFINED action. This action could be subscribing to an email list, taking a survey, downloading a file, or better still, making a purchase. The action that will lead to the affiliate earning a commission is usually spelt out during the sign up process.

Also, the source of internet traffic desired by the seller might be spelt out. Be it social media, email, search engine, or website.

To succeed as an affiliate marketer, you need to find a HOT product that will sell easily. And to promote a product, you will need a LIST of people who will be interested in the product / service you’re promoting.

This is KEY, as It holds the ace to your success in affiliate marketing. List building is a critical component of internet marketing and every online marketer must have one.

So, what is a list? It’s a group of people who are INTERESTED in what you offer. A list is could be phone numbers, email address, or followers on social media.

Let’s stop for now.

Thanks for reading and following this thread.

Peradventure you’re not aware, we’re in the information age. Today, information is very PRECIOUS and PROFITABLE. Knowledge has so much increased at a rate that you and I can’t fully quantify. In fact, one of the things we’re suffering from in this digital era is information overload.

Just imagine the amount of Whatsapp messages you get every day? Imagine the amount of information on Nairaland today.

Social networks like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, even Nairaland have contributed massively to this knowledge explosion and the prosperity of this digital age. The borderless and seamless transmission capability of the internet has ensured that distance is no longer a barrier. Now, you can connect and transact business with persons in far flung places.


What Is Digital Publishing

Digital Publishing is simply the creation and publishing of information products with the aim of making money. Information products are usually packaged in digital formats like ebook (pdf), video, audio, or images. It can be a course or tutorial on a specific subject. They can be created using your PC, Smartphone, or cloud computing platforms.

The beauty of digital products is that it’s not restricted as a lot people from far flung places can access them which makes it very profitable. An information product duplicates itself; once you create it, you don’t have to produce another one. Except you wish to update it.


How To Do Digital Publishing

1. Find a Topic / Niche: When doing this, make sure it’s a niche you’re passionate
about and possess a certain degree of knowledge / expertise. Also, if a lot of
people aren’t interested in the topic, it is not profitable. Stay away from it.

2. Research the Topic: Identify the problems people encounter in that niche. Find
out what works and isn’t working with respect to the pains people experience
in the niche.

3. Create a Solution: Produce a solution for the problem you’ve identified. Your solution will of course be
information on how to go about solving the earlier defined problems.

4. Publish Your Solution: Make your product available on trusted platforms (Google Drive, Dropbox, Udemy,
Teachable), or your website. Your digi-product can be domiciled on your PC or mobile device, if you’re
willing to take the headache that comes with it.

5. Provide Access: Your prospects need to know how to access your product, so give them a link to your
digital solution.

6. Payment Options: Make it easy for your prospect to pay you by offering them several payment channels.
Using online payment platforms will ensure you don’t miss any sale.

So, there you have it.

Create a digital product today, your finance will thank you for it.

E-COMMERCE

This is one of the BIG guns in this making money online thing.

In a layman’s language, Electronic Commerce (ecom for short) is simply the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet.

Buying and selling is no longer a local and geographically restricted type of business. It has gone digital and global, thanks to the internet. You can sit right in your house with your internet enabled PC or Smartphone and showcase your goods and services to the whole world, and make money from persons who you don’t know and might never meet in real life.

Isn’t that amazing?

The biggest benefit of trading on the internet is, wait for it…

… Leverage.

With millions of people on the internet, you’re sure of making a lot of sales, because your customer base isn’t limited to the traffic in the locality where your business is situated.

Today, Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world as a result of e-commerce. His company, Amazon is one of the big, globally recognized players in the industry. Many global operators of shopping malls and big supermarkets / departmental stores closed shop due to the super stiff competition from e-commerce giants like Amazon and Walmart.

In Nigeria, we’re all familiar with Jumia and Konga. You can testify to the in-road and impact they’ve made.

With e-commerce availability of products is 24/7, and consumers have a wide range of products to choose from. Consumers also make better buying decisions as a result of product reviews which makes buying decisions faster and easier.

So, what can you sell?

You can sell anything you wish to sell, as long as it’s not prohibited by the laws of the land. If there are people who need and desire what you intend to trade, go ahead and set up your online shop.

Starting an e-commerce business these days isn’t too hard. It can be as easy as setting up a blog.

1. You’ve got to find or create a product that you can sell online. You really don’t have to manufacture a product, as you can source for products online. Then, you ship it, and resell to Nigerian consumers.

2. Make sure there are people who are willing to part with their money to purchase what you’re selling. Else, you’re on your own.

3. Set up your online store. You can hire a web designer to do that, or you can use online platforms like Shopify to create your store. Your store should also have a payment processor to help customers make payment for products on your store.

4. Advertise your products on social media (facebook, instagram, etc).

5. When you receive orders, package them and use local courier / logistics service providers to them to your customer’s location.

I believe with this insightful information, you’ve understood what an e-commerce business looks like.
