Today on Myke Educate, am sharing the five easiest side hustle to start with and if lucky, you could start a career with these businesses.
Lets begin;
Affiliate Marketing
When it comes to making a living using the internet, affiliate marketing is among the first top 10 ways of earning on the internet or making passive income online. When I say Affiliate Marketing, it simply means taking certain companies' products and promoting them on websites or social media. When anytime a product is bought from you or your affiliate links, you will get a commission.
You will only be given unique links to the product, so you can promote them on social media or websites to get buyers.
In The Start Of Affiliate Marketing.
- All you will need to do is join websites like Amazon affiliates, Adsterra, Clickdealer, CPALead, or Jumia affiliates. You can search Google for more.
- and locate their affiliate system. You can search for the website and include "affiliate system" to the keyword. e.g. "Amazon affiliate system".
- Once you have signed up you can continue with the process and get unique links to their products.
- Now, you can share their links to social media like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.
For TikTok and YouTube, you will need to make video reviews in order to get more buyers also. You don't need to test products before making reviews, you can do that on Google whilst you make the videos.
Whilst on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and Twitter, you can just make posts with catchy images and share them.
Create A Profitable Blog.
A blog is a platform you make stories, share experiences or write articles on, with the aim of assisting people on the internet. Most blogs are online stores, whilst some as I said would be used to share information.
Once you have started a blog, write more articles based on the Niche you chose and I would advise you to also work on your blog SEO(Search Engine Optimization) to get more traffic. Once you get enough traffic, you can apply for Adsterra or AdSense to monetize your blog and earn a commission or make passive income online.
Once you get approved for AdSense or Adsterra, you can promote your blog continuously to get more traffic(people who read your blog). The higher your traffic the more income you will make.
Apart from you obtaining your personal blog, you can also sell the blog especially when you have AdSense verified and connected to it. There are buyers on Facebook willing to pay a good sum of money to buy emails that have blogs associated with AdSense on them. This passive method can even become your career when you know strategies to get AdSense approved on a blog.
Create And Sell eBook.
Another way to make passive income on the internet is through eBook making and selling. Me personally, I would encourage you to create educative books with your computer, then use photo editing software like PhotoShop to edit the cover and other photos in the book.
Once you are done with the book, you can post them on Play Store, Apple Store or Amazon or create a personal blog or Shopify account to sell books online.
Buy And Run An App.
Currently, there are tons of apps on the internet, and its programmers or owners are making passive income from them, I tell you. If you go online to PlayStore and Apple Store, you will find apps that have real price tags on them.
Those apps are paid with money before they are downloaded, and once they are downloaded, they are created with ads from which the owner of the app will make money even though the app was bought.
You can locate programmers on the internet, especially Facebook and other social media, and negotiate with them telling them how you want your app to be. Once it is created you can sign up for Admob and start monetizing your app.
The key point here is to identify popular apps that people love to use, get a developer to create an app for you that can solve these people's problems, sign up for Admob to show ads on your app, and also add a price tag to it on PlayStore or Apple Store.
Become An Influencer On Social Media.
There are a lot of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Linkedin, and YouTube which are popular. An Influencer is simply someone who promotes products or creates content on social media for engagements.
Mostly, Influencers I see on social media buy products and make reviews of them. If you have ever used YouTube before, you might have seen what am talking about.
This method needs good credibility and you must have enough followers, and engagements to make this a success. Once you have built these qualities, you can buy products and affiliate them on your channel using your affiliate links. YOu can also sign up to monetize on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube once you meet the requirement that allows you to monetize on their platform to make passive income.
