The internet is an amazing way for us introverts to comfortably make money online. I joined the digital marketing band wagon back in 2010 when I was looking for a way to find leads for my MLM business without having to do those annoying home parties or trick people into coming to business meeting under the guise of “meeting for coffee”.

If you are in network marketing you know what I mean, lol

While I was learning how to make my money online I experience my fair share of scammer out there ready to your precious money.

Unfortunately, the internet can be a minefield of scammers. Because of this, many people who have dreamed of building a part time or full time income from home have just quit. Not only because of the scammers but, making money online takes a bit of skill that you must be willing to learn, and some people found it a challenge.

Don’t worry though, I’ve learned how to market my home biz online very successfully and I make it a point to teach people like you how to make it work… 😉

Any whooo…

If you’re dreaming of a way to supplement or even replace your income at home, there are quite a few things you can do to get started.

See if any of these resonate with you.

Try one or more of these ways to make money online:

 

 

Make Money Online #1 | Freelance your expertise.

If your specialty lends itself to freelancing remotely, take advantage of your scheduling flexibility and begin start looking to get paid for your work online. If possible, ask your current employer or existing clients if they’d be comfortable allowing you to work from home.

  • Careers that often work well with freelancing include writing and editing, consulting, marketing, transcription, medical coding, web/graphic designing, voiceover work, and programming.

 

  • Find clients by optimizing your website for the search engines, contacting local businesses, applying for gigs on Craigslist, and applying for freelance job openings on bidding sites.

 

 

Make Money Online #2 | Affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing! That’s the second thing I got into when I got online. I actually started liking affiliate marketing way more than building an MLM so I learned as much as I could.

The funny thing is, you actually need to have affiliate marketing tools and skills to build any business online so it’s to your benefit to learn this strategy no matter what.

So what is it?

It’s selling the products of others online for a commission. If you’re inconsistent and sporadic with your efforts, you’ll be lucky to make $100 in a year. But if you’re consistent and have a “never give up” attitude,  the sky’s the limit on your earnings.

 

  • Affiliate marketing is all about doing your research before you begin trying to make money and most of your money will come by planting seeds. In this industry, “seeds” are affiliate links. The more affiliate links you have on the net, the more money you’ll make, but there is a method to doing it right. You don’t want to be accused of being a spammer.

 

  • It can take months to see serious income as an affiliate marketer. It’s common to earn just $10 for the first few months of your affiliate marketing career, and then all of a sudden to start earning $2,000, $4,000, or more per month. It’s definitely an art but it’s worth it to learn.

 

Make Money Online #3 | Virtual assistant.

A virtual assistant is essentially an office or personal assistant that serves their clients from home rather than a traditional office setting. You’ll likely answer emails, set appointments, and spend time making various types of spreadsheets.

 

  • Essentially, being a virtual assistant is like being a freelancer. You can have multiple clients at once. Generally, the pay rate ranges from $10 per hour as an entry-level assistant, to about $40 per hour for highly experienced ones.

 

  • Like most freelancers, you can also find virtual assistant jobs on freelance websites and Craigslist.

 

  • Affiliate marketing skills come into play here when you are trying to promote your services online, btw. 

 

Make Money Online #4 | Blogging.

This is where I started! It was something I could do without having to talk to people! Lol! As a blogger, you’re totally your own boss. But with this freedom also comes great responsibility. You’re in charge of creating daily, weekly or monthly blog posts, driving traffic to your blog, and sourcing advertisers for your blog. For greater success, you’ll also want to build a list of targeted subscribers.

 

  • The income for a blogger varies widely. You’re paid by advertising revenue, rather than on a per project basis. Plus, you can make money from selling your products or the products of others for a commission through your blog and newsletter. Your income is directly correlated with your skills, efforts, and likeability.

 

  • Keep your day job for at least a year. It takes a while to build up income in a blog. Some blogs can take two years or more to build up revenue that’s equivalent to your current salary.

 

  • No matter what business you end up building you should ALWAYS have your own website/blog. Never build your business solely on social media. Why? Because you don’t own social media and they can literally shut you down at any time. Your website/ blog is your hub were people can find you and what you do no matter what happens to your social media pages.

 

Make Money Online 5 | Selling your own product.

Now this is my next step in my online journey and let me tell you it is a lot easier now to create and promote your own products now then it was when I first got started.

This is the classic method of making money online; selling your own product. Whether you make aprons, clothing, digital training products, or you’re selling manufactured cell phone accessories, there’s a place for your business on the internet.

 

  • To make money online by selling products, you must market your business persistently. This is where once again, affiliate marketing comes in. Employ search engine optimization tactics, start a blog for your business, ensure that your website is easy to navigate, and embark on an advertising campaign to attract buyers.

That’s it!

While there are still many scams on the internet, these 5 business building strategies are the main stays of the online industry. You can’t go wrong with these little gems, they are the most tried and proven ways to make money online from the comfort of your own home.

 

Your first step… 

Seek forums for like-minded people online that can guide you in the right direction and help you steer clear of scams.

 

Remember that no legitimate work at home opportunity asks you for money up front to work for them. Above all, use discretion and proceed with caution. Give the above opportunities a try for a legitimate way to put more mullah in your pocket and more freedom into your schedule!

"As an introvert entrepreneur I don't particularly enjoy chasing strangers online, networking events, talking about myself on social media or anything else you can think of that involves selling! But, because I learned how to market online the right way, I don't have to do those things."
