Ideas To Make Money From Home.

 

All my life I have always looked into making money from home and online. What started out as just some simple ways to earn some extra cash have over the years taken me on a long journey of learning and hidden gems. 

 

Some of my earliest memories are to do with making money, such as…

 

• Renting out my action figures at school to other kids (I actually got into trouble for this one as some parents found out there children missed lunch because they had spent the money, but in my deference, I was only 8 years old)
• Delivering Papers – I had one-morning paper round before school, two after school and three on a weekend.
• Dog walking – After school, I would walk a lovely older ladies dog for 50p a time.
• Washing cars – In the summertime, this was a favorite pastime.
• Making our own perfume with flower petals.

 

All of the above I did whilst in primary school (Under 11)

 

As I got older I moved into various other things and some of these I still do today to earn money from home.

 

These include:

1. Selling products on eBay.
2. Dropshipping.
3. Flipping Products.
4. Mystery Shopping.
5. Selling T-Shirts Online.
6. Offering my services on social media.
7. Matched Betting & Many More.

Proofreading is the process of reviewing the final draft of a piece of writing to ensure consistency and accuracy in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting.

 

If you love words and reading, proofreading could be a perfect home based job for you.

 

As mentioned above proofreaders work as freelancers which means you can work to your own schedule.

You can take on as many or as few clients as you like. Plus there a number of free online tools you can use to help you with proofreading.

Flipping Products.

 

This is a great way to make money from home and something I have done since the age of 13.

 

You would be truly astounded at the number of things you can buy and then flip for a profit within the same day!

 

I have bought so many items over the years starting with small things and eventually working my way up to buying customer return pallets from Argos, Nike and many more places.

 

You can even find items in the Facebook market place, charity shops and car boots that you can flip for HUGE PROFITS.

 

I have even bought items in the local £1 shop and sold them on eBay for £8+.

 

Other methods for flipping items include finding a product on eBay and then flipping the item on Amazon.

 

This is very simple to do and if you do some quick research using your phone you can make money very quickly.

 

In the past, I have sold a tent on Amazon for £140 which cost me £85 on eBay. (In fact, this would be classed as dropshipping which we will cover next for you.)

 

How Much Can You Make With Flipping Products?

 

The amount you can earn is unlimited, it will all come down to time, effort, research and money available.

 

I have made over £50,000 flipping products, I started small flipping items from car boots, charity shops and then moved onto buying customer pallet returns.

 

Another person I know called Rob made over $40,000 in the US using this exact method, when he started putting more time into this he quickly tripled his income to over $130,000.

Rob over at market flipper has created a free workshop to share how you can set up a profitable reselling business – in as little as 14 days.

Dropshipping.

This was one of the first methods I came across to earn money online nearly 16 years ago now.

 

When I first discovered dropshipping I couldn't believe it and I jumped in straight away without doing much research.

 

What Is Dropshipping?

 

Dropshipping is where you sell a product online without ever physically touching the product.

 

Dropshipping lets you sell hundreds of products at any given time by working with a supplier that holds all the inventory and then they also ship the product for you.

 

When a customer places an order, you then purchase the product or products from the supplier and they ship the product directly to your customer.

 

You don't need to hold any inventory or ship items yourself.

 

See below image to illustrate this.

 

 

With this method to make money, you are basically acting as a middleman/woman, that is selling a product.

 

You can sell products in many places including:

 

• eBay
• Amazon
• Etsy
• Shopify
• Facebook
• Your own website.

 

 

Once you receive an order, you send this over to your dropshipping company for them to send the product to your customer.

 

The profit you make on every item is the difference between what you charge your customer and what the dropshipping company charges you.

 

How Much Can You Make With Dropshipping?

 

This will depend on a number of factors and how much time you put into this. When we first started with dropshipping we made just over £500 in the first 4 weeks and this was selling over on eBay.

 

The money you can earn can be big or small, some people start out selling on eBay or Etsy and others start with their own websites and then drive traffic to it in a number of ways.

 

Resources for Dropshipping.

 

As I have done dropshipping for a number of years and still do, I have a few different resources available for you.

 

The first one is this article – How To Make Money Dropshipping Products. It walks you through the whole process in a lot more detail.

 

The second resource is AlidropShip.

 

This is a website dedicated to dropshipping and offers several resources to help you get started.

 

What I really like about AliDropShip is the simplicity of everything and the low cost.

 

You can build a store yourself, but not in the traditional way as this piece of software comes with many features including the following.

 

• Easy to install and customize your very own website
• One-click import of top-selling AliExpress products
• Set your profit margins exactly where you want them
• Easy management and marketing with automated solutions
• Choose from an array of add-ons to further boost your traffic & sales
• Fully-automated order fulfilment for 24/7 sales

 

Or you can get them to build a full website and dropshipping store for you.

 

 

Everything is done for you and the end results is just awesome!

 

Recently I set my son up (Who is 7) with his own dropshipping website, as he loves playing games online with his friends he wanted a store about gaming so that is what we ordered.

 

After a few days, the website came back ready and it looks brilliant.

 

Literally, everything is done, including images, product descriptions, customer reviews and much more.

 

Here is a screenshot from his website.

 

 

 

What I really like about this is that it takes minimal effort to maintain and keep up with orders, lots of the process is automated so it is just a case of copy and paste.

 

Click here to check out AliDropShip. 

 

 

The last resource I have for you is a step-by-step course.

 

I recently purchased a course on Dropshipping and I highly recommend it.

 

Not only does it come with step-by-step simple to follow videos and PDF'S, but it also comes with a software which builds your dropshipping website for you.

 

Plus it also comes with a facebook support group, case studies and lots more. The creator of this course is called Simon and he makes over 6 figures every month with this model whilst travelling the world. (Yes, he is living what some would call… the dream)

Sell Products On Amazon (FBA)

 

Amazon is, without doubt, the biggest online retailer at the moment and it shows no sign of stopping!

 

Did you know that you can actually leverage Amazon’s huge international audience to sell your own products?

 

One of the best ways to make money with Amazon is to start your very own private label brand.

 

How it works:

You find a manufacturer to either create a product with your own label and branding or simply agree on a price with them for a product.

 

Next, you get that product sent to Amazon’s own warehouses.

 

Finally, when a customer buys on Amazon they will fulfil the order and send the product to your customer.

 

This is a great way of making money at home because nearly all of the process is done for you.

 

As most of the work has been taken away from you it is very possible to run this business with limited hours and still make a decent income.

 

Sounds pretty awesome,  right?

 

How Much Can You Make With Amazon FBA?

 

This will depend on your niche and profit margins for each product, but anyway you look at this, the potential is huge.

 

Recently Jungle Scout surveyed thousands of Amazon sellers and the results are pretty awesome, to say the least.

 

Key points from this survey included:

 

Most Amazon sellers make at least $1,000 per month in sales, and some super-sellers make upwards of $250,000 each month in sales.

 

Whilst sales are good, we are more interested in profits.

 

 

A big number of sellers on Amazon (Over 40%) have seen lifetime profits of more than $25,000.

 

This isn't to bad considering many claims this to be a side hustle.

 

And not to forget 6% are currently millionaires from their Amazon “side hustle” businesses.

Resources for selling products on Amazon FBA.

 

I am very happy to share this FREE Amazon Masterclass with you.

 

This is run by Kevin who has made over $1,000,000 with this model to make money from home.

 

On this training, he shares the blueprint to repeatably sell simple everyday products on Amazon as a complete beginner.

Creative Way To Make Money Online – Sell Printables.

 

What do I mean by printables?

 

Printables are digital products that someone can download and then print out at home.

 

When it comes to printables there are thousands of products you can create and here a few different examples.

• Shopping checklists
• Baby shower games
• Printable quotes for walls
• Patterns
• Planners
• Labels
• Seasonal Placemats (Like Christmas / Easter ETC

 

This is one of the simplest and easiest ways to make money from home, plus this actually becomes a passive income because when someone buys one of your printables these can be delivered digitally.

 

Basically, your customer gets a download link to your printable after they have purchased, so once this is set up, it runs on autopilot.

 

People are making thousands with printables each month on many platforms.

 

You can sell printables on Amazon, Etsy, eBay, your own website or blog and many more places.

 

Selling printables is great because you can start making money without any experience, or design skills and it is very easy.

 

Plus, once you have created it, then you can sell it over and over again.

 

If you want more ideas for selling printables head over to this page on Etsy.

 

 

How Much Can You Make With Printables?

 

You can earn a very modest income and then you have people earning £30,000 every year with this method. 

 

After speaking to several people who create printables everyone has the same piece of advice, create and upload as many as you can.

 

As you add more and more listings to your online shop, you’re exponentially increasing your potential monthly income.

Steps for creating printables?

• Think of an idea for a printable.
• Create your printable – You can use sites like Canva.
• Open a store on Etsy and upload you're printable. (Or create your own store using wordpress)
• Once it is up for everyone too see, the next step is to share your link to the product.
• Then once someone buys your printable they get a download button to get access to it.

Resources for selling printables.

 

There are a number of courses available for selling printables and I have paid as much as $300 for one before.

 

The one I recommend to you today is by Ike who has been creating printables and profiting with them for years.

 

Plus the price of the course is ridiculously cheap for what you get.

 

Ike sells baby shower printables and over the years has built up a very nice passive income stream.

 

His course covers everything you could ever need to make money with printables. Also, it is updated regularly with new hints and tips. 

 

Below is just one of his printables that has made him over $3,000 (£2,600) in passive income and it took him less than 5 minutes to create this.

 

 

I have purchased this course/software combo myself and also shared a full review of everything included which you can see below.

Publish a Kindle Book.

 

Did you know that you can publish very simple to create eBooks and sell them on platforms like Amazon?

 

Also, you can do this using free tools and like printables above, once you have done the work and listed the book on Amazon you can start earning a passive income.

 

The great thing about this method is that you do not need any money or skills to get started with this.

 

You can use free tools like Canva to create your book.

 

Now, when I say book I do not mean a novel or a 20,000-word book.

 

I mean you can create low content books and publish them. You can even create a book with no content!

What are low content books?

 

This article over on wordcounter explains all about no content and low content books.

 

A low content book is one that contains some written content, but far less than one would find in a typical book. A journal that had inspirational quotes on each page would be considered a low content book. A day planner with the days of the week and months listed would be another example.

 

I have dabbled with this previously and moving forward it is something I will be focusing more time and effort into because of the potential.

 

You can create lots of books in many different categories and niches.

 

Some examples include:

• Puzzle Books
• Daily Planners
• Log Books
• Dot Grid Journals
• Guest Books
• Bullet journals
• Coloring books

 

Creating low content books is an excellent way to start generating a passive income because.

1. They take very little time to create.
2. You can start with zero technical knowledge, writing or design skills.
3. They require little to no up-front investment.
4. You don't need to be making trips to the post office every time one sells.

How Much Can You Make With Low Content Books?

 

How many books can you create?

 

From a few interviews, I have done and seeing people share results in several facebook groups it comes down to numbers, the more books you put out the more you can earn.

 

Realistically this can be a nice side income or a full-time gig.

Resources for creating low content books.

 

Something I recently purchased is a software called Designnr and it is incredibly cheap!

 

This makes the whole process of creating these eBooks incredibly simple.

• Create Ebooks in Minutes
• 100 Project Templates Included
• 720 Google Fonts
• Unlimited Copyright Free Images
• Publish Unlimited Ebooks
• FREE Commercial license
• Incredibly Easy To Use

 

The below video shows you the software creating an eBook and just how simple it is to use.

Finally, here is a video I shared on YouTube showing you how to get started with creating puzzle books.

 

These are also low content books and sell very well.

Affiliate Marketing.

 

This is without a doubt (In my opinion) one of if not the best ways to make money from home and online.

 

Affiliate marketing is where you can earn money by simply recommending a product or service.

 

Have you bought something lately that you love and then told your friends or family about it?

 

Did you know that it is very likely you could be earning money from recommending this product or service?

 

Well, you absolutely could and there are literally thousands of companies who will pay you to send them customers.

 

This includes some of the following companies (But also thousands more)

• Amazon
• eBay
• Etsy
• Udemy
• Tesco
• Argos

 

This amount of money you can earn from recommending or sharing a product can range anywhere from £1 all the way up to £10,000 and more.

 

The whole concept is very simple.

 

You join an affiliate website or platform and then share products or services to earn commissions.

 

Once you have joined one of these affiliate networks how do you share the products?

 

This can be done in a number of ways and here are a few examples for you.

1. Blogging
2. Niche websites
3. YouTube
4. Sharing on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
5. Answering questions on Quora
6. Creating a pin on Pinterest.
7. Sending an email
8. Advertisements

 

The best thing about affiliate marketing is that you can earn very good money for sharing products or services you like and use.

 

Also, commissions you can earn become a passive income if you set this up correctly.

 

How Much Can You Make With Affiliate Marketing?

 

Genuinely life-changing amounts of money.

 

I recently shared this in my facebook group…..

 

 

This was from just one affiliate platform, there are many more I am a member of.

 

The above was from a few months ago now so let me share some recent earnings with you.

 

Like this morning, I managed to earn $145.32 in 16 minutes and I was having breakfast while this dropped into my account…..

 

 

Here are a few more which came in shortly after the above…..

 

 

Please know, I am not sharing this with you to gloat or brag, but instead, show you what is achievable with affiliate marketing.

 

If anyone would have told me before that you could earn over $1,000 (£770) in a single day I would have thought they were completely crazy.

 

Yet you absolutely can do and in affiliate marketing circles this is classed as very low end, I personally know people who are earning $5,000 per day (I know, ridiculous amounts of money isn't it)

 

Resources for Affiliate Marketing.

 

If you want to learn how to make money with affiliate marketing then I highly recommend this for you.

YouTube.

 

YouTube is a great way to make money from home. And please don't freak out if the idea of being on camera puts you off because you can earn money from YouTube without……

 

• Being on camera
• Having to speak
• Lighting equipment
• Expensive cameras
• Experience

 

The key to making money on YouTube is knowing how to get your videos ranking but also getting YouTube to share your videos for you. Lots of people fail with both of these and give up.

 

But the good news is that both of these are very simple to do.

 

I grew my YouTube channel to over 50,000 subscribers in a little over a year.

 

This article shares my journey on YouTube and some tips for you.

 

How to get more YouTube subscribers fast.

 

How Much Can You Make With A YouTube Channel?

 

First, it is worth noting there are several ways you can earn money from a channel.

 

This includes some of them below.

• Paid advertisements
• Sponsored videos
• Product reviews
• Affiliate marketing
• Merchandise & lots more.

 

The first way to earn is with paid advertisements, however, you can only start running adverts on your videos once you have hit the YouTube partner programme requirements. 

 

This can take some time as you need 1,000 subscribers and also 4,000 hours of your videos being watched. So before you achieve this it is a good plan to start monetizing from day 1.

 

A good place to start is with affiliate marketing.

 

You can find thousands of products that you can start sharing, making videos about and make money from.

 

This can be done is so many different ways.

 

I remember the first time I earned over $1,000 in a day from my YouTube channel, it was just crazy and I kept checking my earnings every hour.

 

At the end of the day, I shared this post in my facebook group.

 

 

At the start of my YouTube journey, I was learning daily and also purchasing many different courses to understand the platform better and learn how to grow quicker.

Knowing what I do now, earning money with the channel and growing could have happened a lot quicker.

I very nearly quit YouTube through frustration but I kept learning and implementing what I learnt, fast forward to today YouTube brings in a very passive income.

Lots of the videos I uploaded over a year ago are still bringing in money from paid adverts running on them and also affiliate marketing.

Resources for YouTube.

 

I have a few different options for you including, how to get started without ever recording a video yourself which is pretty cool.

 

First, you can find all my articles here >>>> How To Make Money On YouTube.

 

Next, I have my very own course.

Previously I offered one on one coaching but because of time and the number of people applying I just couldn't keep up with demand.

So I spent 6 weeks putting everything I know into this course and it shares the EXACT strategies and SEO growth hacks I used in the last 12 months to build and grow several YouTube channels which generate over 6 figures a year.

Also, I have several student testimonials which include Youri whose channel has just passed 100,00 subscribers.

The course is broken down step by step and it includes everything I know about earning money from YouTube.

In the last two years I have spent over $2,600 on several YouTube courses and inside my course not only do I share the learning from these courses but also my own techniques, several case studies, test channels and even my son's channel.

We also cover lots of very important things which people overlook when looking to make money on YouTube.

Here are just a few things covered inside the course.

• The Basics To Start Properly.
• The Fast Method.
• Keyword Research.
• Creating Videos (Even without being on camera)
• What you MUST do after you upload a video.
• The Perfect Video Formula.
• Money Funnels.

Blogging.

 

Blogging is another great way to make money at home and online.

 

It does take and time and effort in the beginning but once your blog is up and running it gets easier over time.

 

You can start a blog very quickly and have it up on the internet for everyone to see in the next hour.

 

I have written a full guide on How To Start A Blog.

 

A question I get asked all the time is this….what do I blog about?

 

Many people love the idea of creating a blog but they are unsure about what to write.

 

When it comes to blogging the best questions to ask yourself are….

• What are you interested in?
• Do you have a hobby?
• Do you have a particular skill?
• Are you knowledgeable about a certain subject or topic?

 

Once you narrow this down you can start to get an outline for your blog and understand what niche or category you are going into.

 

This is very important so you understand who your target audience will be and another couple of questions to ask yourself are these.

• How passionate are other people about your topic?
• Can you make money from the topic you plan to cover?

 

There are thousands of blogs out there in so many different categories and niches, if you are struggling to think of a niche or topic that you could write about then have a look at this image which I found other at Blogging Wizard.

 

 

Once you have decided what your blog will be about the next thing is writing the articles.

 

But not in any old way, you need to structure your blog content in a way search engines (Google, Bing etc) like, so they can understand exactly what the article is about and how to bring it up in search listings.

 

This is known as search engine optimization or SEO.

 

The best explanation for SEO I found over at Search Engine Land.

 

SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” In simple terms, it means the process of improving your site to increase its visibility for relevant searches. The better visibility your pages have in search results, the more likely you are to garner attention and attract prospective and existing customers to your business.

 

 

So you need to structure your blog articles correctly and include your chosen keywords to try and get them ranking in the search engines.

 

Think of Google or Bing as a reader who is skimming your blog post to understand what it is all about.

 

An example for you.

 

Let's say we are writing an article about “how to lose weight quickly “, we would look to answer this question within the post.

 

We would start with “How to lose weight quickly” as the header or title, we would then include variations and answers to this question in the post with something like 5 quick tips to start losing weight, other ways to lose weight fast etc

 

Some quick tips for you to include in your blog post would be.

1. Keyword in the URL of the blog post
2. Include headings and subtitles with your chosen keywords.
3. Answer questions within your blog post.
4. When adding images to your post include the keyword in the file name for the photo and also use the “alt text”
5. Use tools like Google Trends to find other keywords related to your original search term.
6. Include these keywords in your article.
7. Always include keywords in the meta description for each blog post (This is basically where you sum up your blog post)

 

How Much Can You Make With Blogging?

 

The amount you can earn is unlimited, there are blogs out there earning over $100,000 a month. Some of these started as little as 4 years ago.

 

Some examples include Making sense of cents, create and go and many more.

 

 

 

All of these blogs earning ridiculous amounts of money have one thing in common.

 

They started the blog (obviously) and once they started getting some traction they all then created online courses showing others what they were doing.

 

These courses sell ranging from $200 all the way up to $1,000.

 

How can you make money with a blog?

 

There are lots of ways to monetize your blog and some examples include:

 

• Affiliate marketing – where you promote or share other people’s products and receive a commission every time someone purchases.
• Banners or advertisements – Companies will pay you to share these on your blog.
• Sponsored content and articles – These are normally adverts in the form of a paid-for article or guest blog post.
• Sponsored social media posts – Once you have a strong social media presence attached to your blog then you will be very attractive to brands and companies who will pay you to share content on your Facebook page, Instagram account, YouTube, Pinterest etc

Make Money Selling Gigs on Fiverr.

 

Fiverr is a marketplace where many people offer their services or knowledge to earn some extra money.

 

It is also available worldwide so anyone can sign up.

 

How it works.

 

Once you have created an account, you then put up “gigs” which are basically listings for your services.

 

Here are just a handful of examples for which you could list on Fiverr to make money at home

 

• Logo design
• Social media assistant
• Writing articles
• Proofreading
• Voice overwork
• Data entry
• Virtual assistant
• Relationship advice
• Career advice
• PA
• Cover letters
• Photography

 

As you can see, there are a lot of different services that you can offer on Fiverr, and the above list is just a small example.

 

The below image is taken from Fiverr and shows you lots of different categories where people are listing their gigs.

 

 

Have a look through the categories to see if you could offer any of these services, and then look at what the people are charging to give you a rough idea.

 

Then sign up, and get your services listed and you’re good to go.

 

Retail Arbitrage with Fiverr.

 

Another way you can make some money using Fiverr is with something called retail arbitrage.

 

Anyone can do this and its a very simple method.

 

You put up a listing on Fiverr and when it sells you purchase from another site.

 

Your profit is the difference between the listing you put up on Fiverr and how much it costs you to buy the same service from another website.

 

Actual Example of this…

 

This listing is on Fiverr (today) and selling for £16.32

 

 

Below is a very similar listing which you can buy on another website for just $1.00, which is currently 78p.

 

 

That means if you were to list a similar gig on Fiverr you could expect to earn £15.54 less the Fiverr fees for every order you receive.

 

I think you will agree that is a pretty decent return for less than a few minutes work!

 

There are thousands of these opportunities available.

 

So just to recap this method for making money with Fiverr.

 

1 – List a gig on Fiverr for xxx amount.

2 – Once the gig sells head over to another website and purchase a similar gig.

3 – Send all the info you receive over to your buyer on Fiverr.

4 – Pocket the difference between how much you are paid and how much you pay.

 

I used this method years ago when I was first starting to make money online.

 

This video I shared on YouTube shows you the entire method step-by-step.

 

 

Resources for Fiverr.

 

You can check out the Fiverr website.

 

If you want to learn step-by-step how to make money with Fiverr I recommend this course by Bobby.

 

Bobby works 50+ hours each week in the UK police force and he also has 6 kids.

 

Yet he managed to earn over $6,400 in just a few months using the Fiverr retail arbitrage method mentioned above.

Buy and Sell Domain Names.

 

 

This is something you don’t really hear about until you are in the world of earning online.

 

Anyone looking to start a website or blog will need a domain name (the name of the blog). My domain on this site is nottaughtatschool.co.uk

 

Some website names will cost more than others, especially those with a .com, .net at the end.

 

People are always looking for very specific names for their websites or blogs and this is where you can make money.

 

You can buy domain names very cheaply and everyday new domains are coming up for sale.

 

People buy them and for whatever reason, they either don't renew them each year or they have given up on their website.

 

A great way to make money with this method is to buy expired domains and either just sell them straight away or increase the value of the domain. 

 

Selling the domain is by far the quickest and easiest way to make money with this method but you can also try to increase the value of the domain if you like. 

 

How do you increase the value?

 

A great way of increasing the price of any domain name that you purchase is to make the website successful – and therefore appealing to potential website buyers.

 

You could make it successful by driving lots of traffic to it and increasing the Domain Authority, this can be done with SEO, social websites like Pinterest and Facebook.

 

There are lots of domain auction sites that you can sell your improved domain on, examples include Go Daddy, Flippa and more.

 

Resources for flipping domains.

 

I have written a very simple to follow along with blog article about flipping domains, the free websites to use and much more. you can have a read of it here. Earn Money Online Flipping Domains [4 Simple Steps]
