Now, let's talk about making money online, especially while sleeping. Obviously a friend of mine sent me a message yesterday, asking me to direct him to the best business to do online to enable him make money online.
At first, I wasn't shocked, because the world is changing and lots of things are expected to change, including the ways to make money, and to be careful about being in debt because interest never stopped charging us, interest never slept, never took a day off, never took a holiday.
But, is your money making money while you sleep? Does it sound too good to be true? Since we still live in the age of the interest, it’s not that difficult to earn extra money on the side.
Here are some of the best ways that you can actually earn money while you sleep.
Start a blog
Perhaps the most popular way to earn a passive income is by launching your own blog. It only takes a couple of minutes to setup and is cheap to start – just purchase your domain name and pay for hosting.
After that, start creating amazing content that people would be interested in reading or sharing. For example, if you’re an accountant that has helped small business owners with their taxes, then that could be your blog. I personally have my invoicing blog to help customers know everything there is to know about invoicing. This draws thousands of signups a month.
Make sure the topics you write about are popular. If you still love your pet rock, I doubt there would be enough people visiting your our site to monetize it. But, you never know.
Once you’ve gained a following, you can start making money from of your blog by:
Earning commissions as an affiliate
This is where you push other people’s products or services on your site. Make sure these products or services are relevant to your blog. For example, that accounting blog could become an affiliate for accounting or invoicing software. Once you find an affiliate partner you’ll be given a unique code so that whenever a visitor clicks that link on your site you’ll earn your commission.
Sell-advertising
If you’re site has the traffic to become an affiliate, then it may also be good enough for advertisers to purchase ads on your site. You may start off small, like making under $20 per ad. But, you may eventually be able to charge triple digits. Again, you site must be quality.
Find sponsors
This is slightly different than just selling ads on your site. Sponsorships may be a one-off piece of sponsored content or permanent logo embedded in your footer.
Sell your own information product
If you’re knowledgeable in a certain area, then you can start creating products, such as eBooks or videos, and selling them on your blog. It may take a lot of work to create and market your products, but once all the leg work is over, you can just set back and collect the proceeds.
Create a membership community
If you’ve proven yourself to be an authority figure, then you can create a membership community where you pay a monthly fee to receive additional high-quality content and information that’s not available to non-members. One of my favorite examples is Timothy Sykes who makes more than $100,000 per month in passive income through his membership community which discusses how people can make money in trading penny stocks.
Sell physical products
Just like with a blogging site, there are several ways to earn a passive income by selling physical products. Probably one of the best known ways is by selling your old junk on eBay. But even if you don’t have anything left to sell you can start drop shopping.
This is where you sell products for a company on eBay or Amazon and they’ll take care of the rest – including shipping. You can also launch your own eCommerce store by using Shopify.
They literally give you everything you need to sell products online from a complete online shop to including buy buttons on your social media channels.
