Welcome to Make Money Online. We’re going to teach you how to make money off blogging, freelancing, and passive income. This is going to be a crash course on various online money-making ideas. In this course, you’re going to learn all about:
The Basics Of Blogging
Blogging is a fantastic way to make money online. The basic premise behind blogging is to create content that other people come back to time and time again to read. If you can establish a niche, then you can very easily become a go-to source for information on your topic of choice. When people come back to your blog to read your content, they are typically doing so because they are interested in your subject matter. Establishing a blog today is easy and cheap. You can very easily set one up using WordPress.org. Once you’ve got your blog platform established, the next step is to start creating content for it.
Passive Income
If you’re looking for an easy way to make money from home, then passive income might be the answer. With passive income, you’re essentially setting yourself up for success by getting a job that doesn’t require much effort (hence why most of these jobs are available online). Once you’re established, all you have to do is sit back and watch the money come in. There are a variety of ways that you can generate passive income. You could start an online store that sells goods similar to what you blog about. You could establish yourself as an online freelancer and start getting contracts from businesses around the world. Or, you could become a travel agent and start taking bookings for vacations.
The Different Ways To Get Paid
Once you’ve got your passive income stream established, you have a variety of ways to get paid. You could get paid monthly, weekly, or even daily depending on the work you’ve done. You’ll need to look into each method and see what kind of payout you can expect. As you get paid electronically, you’ll need an account to receive your money. Keep in mind that if you exceed certain thresholds, you’ll need to report this to the IRS (the tax agency).
To give you an example, let’s say that you’re a travel agent and you’ve just booked a vacation for a family of five. When the vacation is over, the family members want to know how much money they’ve earned. You tell them that their earnings would depend on whether or not they used a travel agent. If they did, then they would have earned $500. If they didn’t, then they would have earned $300 because they managed the trip themselves. At this point, the IRS comes calling. The family members have to file a tax return and if they are unable to, then you are required to file as well. The IRS needs to be able to trace back how much you’ve earned so they can determine how much tax you owe. It’s no wonder why many people choose to work remotely. You have your pick of jobs from anywhere in the world and you don’t have to be physically present to do the job. This is why many employers prefer to hire freelancers rather than full-time employees. It’s all about the paperwork and the hassle factor. The more you can get away from dealing with the government the better. As a freelancer, you’re not just limited to online work. You could become a virtual assistant, sell your photos on stock photography sites, or become a social media influencer if you can drum up enough followers. The opportunities are endless. All you need is a computer, a reliable internet connection, and a talent for creating content that interests people.
How To Monetise Your Blog & Establish Your Niche
Once you’ve got your blog up and running with a few posts, it’s time to start looking for ways to monetise it. The first step is to simply figure out what you’re going to put in the blog. This is where your expertise and experience in the subject matter come in handy. Once you’ve established yourself as an expert in your niche, it’s time to start attracting potential customers. One of the best things that you can do for your blog is to establish yourself as a source of authoritative information on your subject matter. When people come back to your blog looking for information, they are typically seeking an answer to a question that they already have in their minds but can’t seem to find the answer to. If you can provide them with an answer to their question, then you’ve potentially established yourself as an authoritative source on their subject matter. In many cases, people will click through to your website from a blog post that they’ve just read. When they do, they are often finding themselves on a webpage that’s educational and/or entertaining. If you can keep the user engaged, then you’re going to have a much easier time monetising your blog. Let’s say that you’ve established yourself as an expert on green living and you’ve got a blog post that’s generated a lot of interest. When a potential customer comes back to your blog to look for more information, you can steer them to one of your other blogs or websites that you’ve built that are relevant to the topic at hand. For example, if you’ve got a travel blog, then you could direct them to a blog that discusses luxury travel or a blog that gives advice on visiting national parks in luxury. If you can establish yourself as an expert in your niche, then you can have complete confidence that you are going to be able to provide them with useful information that’s going to help them make better decisions about their lives. When people come back to your site looking for information, there’s a good chance that they’re either already interested in or consider themselves to be experts on the subject matter at hand. The information that you provide on your blog is typically going to be of use and value to them. Once you’ve got a few successful blogs under your belt, it’s time to start thinking about establishing yourself as a thought leader in your niche. A thought leader is someone who is perceived as an expert in their industry. When people believe that you’ve got valuable knowledge and experience in your niche, then it’s time to start profiting from it. The best way to establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry is to actively participate in the conversation. If you’re able to add value to the conversation, then you’re going to have an excellent opportunity to positively impact people’s lives for the better. If you can become a thought leader in any niche, then you can have great opportunities to make a lot of money online. Just make sure that you establish yourself as an expert in your industry before you get too deep into the conversation.
Content Is King
Another important thing to consider when establishing yourself as an expert in your industry is to ensure that you constantly put out new content. People want to come back to a blog and find something new that interests them. If you can keep up with the content creation, then you’re going to be able to keep up with the interest in your niche. If you can establish yourself as an expert in your industry, then people are going to come back to your site time and time again to read what you’ve got to say. Keep up with the content creation even when you don’t have new material to publish and you’ll be able to reap the benefits of having an established blog. Let’s say that you’ve got a travel blog and you’ve just returned from a vacation. You write a blog post about your experience and how you got so many incredible memories. You could potentially choose to keep the blog post on your site or publish it on social media. However, if you decide to keep the post on your site, then it’s important to update it with new information. For example, if you learned something new about the destinations that you visited or how to make the most of your time there, then you could add this to your blog post. This is important because even though the post was originally written in 2017, it still contains valuable information for today’s travelers. Having content that’s still relevant a year or more after you first published it shows that you’re an expert in your industry and it will hopefully land you some new customers. Even better, if you can establish yourself as an expert in your industry, then you’re going to find it easy to get work. People are actively looking for experts in their industries now more than ever and it’s your chance to put your talents to use.
Build A Following
Once you’ve got your blog established and generating some income, it’s time to expand your audience. The best way to do this is to build a following. A following is someone who has actually heard of or is interested in your blog. If someone is reading your blog but doesn’t know who you are or what you’re talking about, then this person isn’t going to be very engaged with your content. On the other hand, if someone is reading your blog and thinking that you’re an expert in your field, then this person is likely to engage with your content, share it with their friends, and possibly even become a fan of yours.
