Section 1: Blogging & Website Ownership
A blog is like a personal website, with the sole aim of providing information to its readers, about a specific type of niche or variety of niches which is updated from time to time. This is one of the most common ways of getting money.
I know right, you are asking how you can get money from people just reading things you post? Well, that is where traffic comes in.
The goal is to get traffic and loyal readers who can be digesting your daily weekly or monthly contents. From getting the traffics, there is a whole lot of different ways you can make money.
We are going to look into this with the following list in this category.
-
Affiliate Marketing and PPC Ads
This is the easiest way you can make money online, a matter of fact, this is the most common way of making money online. First of all, you need to start your own blog; sounds hard right? Well sorry to disagree with you, it is actually very easy.
You can take less than 30 minutes to create an excellent blog; you can read about it in one of your previous posts: “How to Start & Create A Blog – 20 Min Step-By-Step Guide to Make Yours”. But before that, you have to choose a topic you like.
Choosing a topic is the tricky part, you have to decide if you want an evergreen niche or a micro niche. You also have to go for something that is trending.
Well like I said earlier, everything about starting your own blog is on our previous post so you can check it out. But then again you ask, how can I make money with my blog with affiliate marketing and PPC.
Affiliate marketing is simply a way you can earn cash while promoting someone’s product. There are so many websites you can sign up for; those include ClickPromise, ClickBank etc.
Making money through PPC is no different from the later; the most common way is through Google’s AdSense.
PPC means Pay Per Click meaning if I opt-in and monetize my blog with AdSense when the adverts show on my page, I earn a commission for people who see or click on it.

Selling Courses on Your Authority Site
Making money online while selling online courses is one of the easy ways to make extra money with your blog site. Well, not just any site but an authority site.
An authority site is a website that has so much valuable information, which it is respected and recognized by knowledgeable people in your area of interest.
So if you want to make extra cash here, you should be able to build your website up to a reputation. Everything still boils down to starting your own blog first, so when that is done you, you would also want to raise the standard of your blog.
This is done by always thoroughly researching and producing extremely high-quality contents on your desired niche.
When your authority site stands, you can now decide to sell online courses related to that niche.
For example, I have an authority website on stock trading tips or skills; I do give out ordinary useful tips on stock trading on site, but not the sensitive or prominent ones that can be able to rake more funds.
So what I do is I give out tips and instructions which can help for free, and I charge for the ones which are prominent and can make money. I can put it in the form of courses to make it more formal then advertise to people to pay for it.
-
Selling an Ad Space
This is just like using Google AdSense, but there is more to this than that. If you have already started a blog and it has gotten enough traffic, or you want to start a blog and grow it up, you can make quick money by directly advertising companies and product on your site.
If your blog site is making waves in your topic of choice, most times companies come to meet with you directly to ask I you can advertise for them. Most especially, you can also walk up to or email companies with proof that your website traffic is reasonable.
This all boils down to you growing your reader base, this is because most companies only accept some sites with a certain amount of traffic, and also sites who’s niche are very much related to their products.
If you can have an agreement with them, they pay, and you add their source code t your site or banners or however they want you to do it for them.
-
Advertising on Your Forum Site
Opening a blog as I said earlier is easy, but in this case, a forum site. A forum site is an online discussion site in which people can hold conversations in the form of a posted message and talk on a particular thread or topic.
Most popular forum sites are Reddit, Quora, Nairaland, etc. Theses forum site tends to bring in traffic, especially stable traffic and people who regularly visit back the website to view the responses given by other forum members.
With this amount of traffic, you can be able to sell banner ads to companies or individuals. Most of the time, it is advisable to approach companies or people with similar products to your forum’s niche. Or better yet, just make the forum an evergreen one.

Speaking as A High-Profile Blog Authority

Building Review Affiliate Sites
This one is a little bit tricky, but with much research and skills, you can definitely pull it off. The aim here is to build about 20 review sites then link them to an affiliate link. This can be a permanent site that does not need to be, and it doesn’t also have to be a huge site.
You can choose a niche or specific niches to base on, but all of them have to be connected to an affiliate link.
The goal here is when someone reads your posts or visits the review site, after reading they are directed to click the link taking them to where they can buy the products, and you can get a commission.
For example, I can create different sites for car parts home tools or kitchen tiles. Then I find an affiliate link from ClickBank or ClickPromise. I add it to my site about reviewing car parts while giving very tangible information about car parts.
If done well, each site can bring at least $50 per month, and make about 20 of those review sites can bring in a whole lot of fortune.

Creating A Modern News Site
Creating modern news sites has its tricks up its sleeves too. The main idea for creating this type of website is to try as much as possible not only to engage users with daily new published posts but also to link the old posts so they can get more views.
This type of website drives in a lot of traffic and can force readers to be hooked with its contents.
Things are arranged in a way that it shows recent posts, or posts having a similar topic or keywords with the previous posts.
On WordPress, templates, and plugins to help you achieve this goal are available. The home page of that template is arranged in a way that it has multiple news links, both old and new appearing instead of only the new ones appearing.
For example, you recently wrote something about a riot in a town. While you had a previous article or articles talking about another similar topic on either the riot or the city, it then displays in the recommended tab or the similar post tab. Also, recent articles published online will appear under recent post tab.

Every author that wants to be recognized in that niche can go as far as paying you money just to have his or her posts uploaded and them getting a rep in that niche.
Most successful blogs that practiced this method have been able to also produce experts and professionals, and have also made them more recognizable. It is like publicity for writers so they can prove their worth in the niche community.

Creating Simple AdSense Sites
Creating an AdSense account can be a huge deal, looking at the new rules Google has laid out to limit unnecessary activities on their Google AdSense platform. You can refer to our previous post on how to make money with AdSense on your blog. But after that, you can still be making few bucks with this.
Well here, the idea is to be making close to $200 a day so what you have to do here is creating about 100 simple AdSense sites including Amazon links and affiliate links.
This generates multiple streams of incomes, and each site can be able to get at least $2 per day.
Yeah, I know it is not easy, but hard work pays off. When doing all these, you have to link it to a single AdSense account where all your money would be channeled to.
Section 2: Low Capital Online Businesses
Running a low capital online business is the best option for most people on a budget.
Less money is used to start-up, but it can be turned into a reasonable amount of cash flowing in.
Think of it as a pawn shop, most of the stuff in it was useless or were bought for a very low price, but when they are being sold again, they are sold at a very high reasonable price.
Let’s take a quick jump on what we can be able to do in this category.

Your contents should follow the precise guidelines of the successful contents. The reason is that there is a high chance that websites like that can also be sold for a high amount of money.

Reselling A Website
This method is similar to the first method. The idea here is to look for sites with already generated revenues, then buy them and work on them.
Most people do get bored of their website while some just create a website and sell for a living, others just want to sell off their website because it is dying so you can take advantage of these and buy a website which already has generated revenues.
When you purchase these kinds of website, the next step you take is to optimize and improve on it. This can give you a head-on especially when you want to resell the website for a high amount of money.
When that is done, you can resell your site on platforms like flippa.com. Matter of fact, you can buy websites like this on flippa.com improve on it then sell it again on flippa.com for a higher rate.

Drop Shipping with Shopify
Drop shipping is a supply chain management process in which the retailer does not hold the products with him, but rather transfers to customers’ orders and shipment details to a manufacturer, wholesaler or retailer, who then does the shipping directly to the customer, and you as the merchant does not see the product.
The idea here is creating a dropshipping store on Shopify, but first of all, you need to find distributors or retailers. You can find that easily on Alibaba, but you have to be careful of scams. I advise you order a sample for yourself first before making decisions. Once that is done, you can start trading at once on your Shopify site.
