Hey, you! Yes you, do you know that you can start making money now? The world is not only evolving, especially with the coming of the internet, but more jobs are also available, jobs that would have been thought to be obsolete in the past. Various legit jobs are available if you are willing to put in your time and your skills, and there’s no how you will not make money from it if you tread well.
Would you prefer to sit on that couch playing video games, watching K-drama, or you just decide to wait till you graduate from school, why not make some cash? Well, it all depends on you. Here's the first:
CREATE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Creating a YouTube channel doesn’t require tedious tasks, just having stable internet connections, your smartphone or pc, and a few clicks will land you your own YouTube channel. Top YouTubers make millions each year, children are inclusive. But the thing is, you don’t need to have millions of views to be able to start earning from this platform. All you need to do is to pick a specific niche and offer quality contents that your viewers will appreciate. Some ideas for your YouTube videos include food and travel reviews, storytelling, unboxing, how-tos, DIYs, and so on.
Here are a few steps you can take to monetize your YouTube channel:
Set up your YouTube channel
Upload videos, and be consistent with them. You don’t need an expensive camera, or all those cool and expensive gadgets too to create a quality video that gives useful information. You can use your phone camera, making sure the camera quality is still appealing to the eyes (editing too is useful).
Put yourself out on social media platforms, and be sure to share your videos.
Respond to comments by your viewers, to ensure engagement, activeness, and loyal subscribers.
Monetize your channel (be sure to check out the requirements to have your channel monetized), this includes allowing ads to your videos. The higher your views are, the more your revenue.
SELLING E-BOOKS
Well, people, the internet has made a massive impact on the traditional publishing world. These days e-readers are everywhere.You don’t need to be a renowned publisher to get into the game. You can sell e-books directly from your website. You can sell your work or sell a public domain work. All you have to do is upload it to your website (or seller account on Amazon), and you can begin publicizing it on your various social media outlets.
TRY CONTENT WRITING JOBS
If your passion is writing, you can as well make money from it. A lot of companies these days require content writers and outsource them. You can register yourself on websites that offer this online work, such as Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, etc. There, you can specify your preferences as a writer, like guest blogging, proofreading, article writing, scriptwriting, and so on. Another thing you can do is send email to companies who are hiring freelance writers, some tests will be given to see if you are a good fit, and from there you can get hired; this is for those hoping to work for just one company (since it is focus-based, these companies even pay higher).
LOOK FOR FREELANCING JOBS
Another famous way to make money online is by being a freelancer. If you are good at video editing, photoshop, programming, editing, voice-acting, writing, graphics design, and so on, you can venture into websites like Fiverr, Upwork, Truelancer, etc, to find work with clients/companies seeking to hire freelance workers. You just need to register on one or more of these websites (some don’t even cost a dime), and based on the work you offer, you can gradually work your way towards high-paying gigs.
START BLOGGING
Blogging is also another avenue to consider if you enjoy writing, or just want to be able to share useful content with people. This can be considered if you do not want to work under others. If you provide valuable content regularly, you attract like-minded people interested in the information your niche covers.You can monetize your site via ads or affiliate links in your posts, or if you get influential, you can incorporate your products for sale. Also, make your site attractive in the eyes of Google by regularly putting in useful information in the form of articles, audio, videos, etc. This will result in higher rankings in Google’s search engine.
So people, who's in it to start making legit money? No certificates, just skills.
