#1 Launch your blog
Starting
your own blog (like the one you're currently on) is both a fun and rewarding
way to make money online but also one of the most time-consuming.
If
you love to write or have a passion that you would like to share with the
world, launching a website is a great way to turn your hobby into a real paid
activity. The start-up costs are relatively low, with the main expense usually
being hosting your website.
You
can also very well start building your blog as a hobby and then gradually grow
your business and brand over the months. This will allow you to take advantage
of a small additional salary before you start full-time.
#2 Create your Etsy Shop
Do
you like art, DIY, creating with your own hands? If so, you should take
advantage of Etsy, an online platform dedicated to selling handmade or vintage
items (even prefabricated ones).
Whether
you're making art, jewelry, clothing, decorations, or just about any other
handcrafted item, building your Etsy store will allow you to showcase your work
and earn quick cash from fond shoppers of your original creations.
Starting
an Etsy store is completely free.
#3 Become an Amazon seller
Amazon
commerce has exploded over the past few years, and it's easier than ever to
make money using this platform.
For
example, what is called Amazon Arbitrage involves buying local products at a
discount from a store and reselling them for a profit on Amazon. For example,
by purchasing items at 75% or more off, then billing at the normal price or
with a lower discount on the platform.
This
technique, however, takes a lot of time spent finding the latest deals around
you, which can be quite time consuming.
#4 Create and market your box
You
have surely already heard of it: Birchbox,
Gambettes Box, My Little Box, CrateJoy...
At
present, this monthly subscription box market is particularly active, and new
ideas are constantly emerging. If you are passionate about a particular area
(beauty, food, sport, wine...), now is the time to get started!
#5 Buy and resell items on eBay
If
you've ever watched the Girlboss series, you know what I'm talking about. Based
on a true story, this Netflix original tells the story of how Sophia Amoruso
started the Nasty Gal Company by first reselling collectibles on eBay that she
found at thrift stores in San Francisco.
But
this scenario does not exist only in the series. With the development of online
commerce, there are more opportunities than ever to buy and resell products on
the internet.
If
you have a good sense of value and commerce, selling things on eBay is an
online business idea that can save you a lot of money. As with everything else,
you will first need to find your niche, know what to sell and at what price -
but also promote your business.
#6 Coaching Online
Online
coaching is also a profitable business. To be honest, some entrepreneurs even
manage to generate millions in turnover with this activity.
Whether you want to be a life coach, as a couple, in a business, or in a specific niche, your passion and your expertise will allow you to offer advice and concrete measures to those who wish to evolve in the field you are targeting.
#7 Open an online store
Selling
products, without even having to manage stock, is precisely what dropshipping
allows. In fact, it is the supplier who sends the orders directly to the
customer. Convenient, isn't it?
Once
you have found your supplier, you must open an online store . To do this, you
can help yourself from many platforms such as Shopify or PrestaShop, for
example.
