8 Ways On How To Earn A Passive Income Online For Yourself

Hi Folks, today I am going to show you 8 of the best ways to make passive income online. This post is strictly related to online methods.Best ways to make passive income online

There are popular ways on how to go about building a passive income portfolio offline, but I chose to just chat with you on the online ways. Mainly to illustrate to you, of the various options available.

I personally, would recommend a diversified portfolio. A little bit of “offline” and “online” money generating vehicles. The point of this article is to give one a guide to these online options.

Yes, some of you are already aware of these and have already started. I am happy for you and wish you every success, and prosperity for the future.

For those of you who haven’t  DONE much, Don’t Stress,confused emoji It’s never TOO late!

Once you start, then you begin to build one thing up. From here it will become easier to diversify. Not only will you be able to look at other online ventures, but then you are in the playing field to tackle some offline stuff too.

Just get started somewhere and have a plan…It will be slow initially, but certainly worth it in the end.

Let’s get right into it!

  1. Make Your Own YouTube Videos


How many views do you think take place on the YouTube Channel daily?

Take a Guess, I’ll waitBest ways to make passive income online

1 Million? 5 MILLION? what about 10 Million? The correct answer is 4 Billion views a day!

That my friends is the reason why it can be the second largest search engine after Google. Because so many people are watching YouTube videos, don’t you think it makes sense to get yourself in on the action?

So how exactly can you make money from making your Own YouTube video?

  • Assume you have a website of your own. You could make a YouTube video, embed it on your site, and upload it onto YouTube. Anyone searching for the topic, will check out your video and then be directed to your site and you can monetize your site from there( more about this later).
  • Or the other way, is make money from the advertising profits that your Video generates.

Ever heard of Adwords?

Adwords is the advertising service that Google offers to enterprises that are interested in placing ads on Google and any of its advertising networks, one of them being YouTube.

These ads get placed on your “masterpiece” YouTube video and put you at the forefront of earning money.

The advertiser will pick one of two types of ads. Either it will be a Cost Per Click ad(CPC), whereby they pay you according to the number of clicks the ad generates, or Cost Per View(CPV), whereby you get paid by views. This is NOT the number of views, but if someone watches an ad for half a minute or half the ad, you get paid.

So, though your video can become very popular and have tons of people watching it, it may not be enough. It all boils down to how much time they are spending engaging in viewing the ads, that will determine the profit you earn.

The pay is not mega bucks and it takes some hard work initially, but at the end of the day, its a passive income source nonetheless. One of the best things about these videos is, that unlike ads on TV or within a magazine that is short-lived, your video will be there for a while.

So, get your acting skills sharpened up and let the camera start rolling!!

2. Earn Royalties For Taking Photographs


Did you know?

On average, around 51 million websites are created every year. That’s around 140 000 or so every day!!!

So what has this got to do with taking photographs?

Fancy yourself to be a good photographer? Why not put your skills to good use? Take some awesome photos, of landscaping, scenery, people, and animals. cats, dogs, cars, waterfalls, etc. whatever your passion is, and get paid for those precious images.

Everyone building a website needs images to brighten up their articles, and get them to be more attractive, engaging, and interactive. Best ways to make passive income onlineSo whilst webmasters may opt for free images, a lot of them will buy licensed images. This is where you come in.

Register with stock photo companies such as Shutter stock, to get them to add those lovely images to their database. Whenever a prospective client wants to use your photo, you can either earn a set amount or a percentage of the license fee that the client pays.

The best part is that one photo can be used multiple times and you earn every time it is used. All the procedures are handled by these platforms.

You’ve just got to have a lot of photos, as you can imagine the competition is not a walk in the park. It’s still a good way to earn money.this a very happy smiling emoji

3. Domain Flipping


Website domains are the  “real estate” within the online world. Let me explain to you why. There can only be one howtodealwithtinnitus.com or one passiveincomeforall.com.Best ways to make passive income online

You will never be able to buy these domains, once someone else owns them. This is where domain flipping can be lucrative and a good way of earning passive income.

This is the process of buying, building, or selling ‘online website properties’. As you can imagine, it takes some knowledge, practice, and time to do this.

You can approach flipping in two ways

  1. You can buy a website, tweak it then optimize it to receive some traffic and then sell it,  or
  2. Build up a new website(learn now right here), and then sell it off for a fee.

Check out places such as flippa.com that specialize in this kind of service.

4. Create Your Online Course


If you have a talent or any expertise that you would like to share and think people would enjoy doing it or gaining something from it, then why not create your online mini-course or program?

It does involve a lot of your effort in designing the modules or lessons and may be expensive in terms of getting you off the ground. You will also need to get accustomed to producing audio and video parts. However, even though this takes time no doubt, in the end, it can be worth it.

It can be an exciting venture. Once the courses and a payment gateway have been set up, you can earn from recurring membership fees. Once in a while, you’ve got to keep a check on new updates, but hey it’s what you love to do and that’s the best part, you are helping others.

How’s that for a passive income idea?

5. Earning From Google Ads

Very similar to the You tube videos. The only difference here, is that you need to have a website of your own. It needs to have some decent traffic coming into it, as this is how you leverage to profit from the ads.

You apply to Google AdSense. OBest ways to make passive income onlinence they are happy with your site, your site will be able to have ads placed within certain areas. Such places include the side bar, within the article, top, or at the bottom of the article.

It costs you nothing to apply, as it’s free. However, your site may not always get accepted the first time around. I got rejected initially, and 6 months down the line I had to re-apply for one of my sites.

If you are interested in learning more, check this article out, “How to properly add Google Adsense to your Site.”

The great part is that you don’t have to find advertisers, and you don’t have to source the ads. You can easily trace the links using the analytics and once someone clicks on the ads, a portion of the revenue goes straight into your bank account.

6. Making Money Selling Your Ebook


Try your hand at writing and selling your ebook on Amazon. If you select merchant marketplaces to sell your ebook, you can earn up to 70% royalty if your books are between $2.99 and $10.00. If your price deviates from this margin, then the royalty goes down to around 30%.Best ways to make passive income online

How else can you sell your e-book?

By building your website and marketing it from there.

Doing it this way offers you much more advantages, such as:

  • Less competition – as compared to your listing within a marketplace environment.
  • Increase the social awareness of your ebook- More marketing power for you.
  • You can sell it at your price and 100% profit is yours.

7. Bitcoin Trading


I am sure at one point or another, you have heard some news about this form of “crypto currency.” Ways to make passive income online

This virtual money has been taken as an alternative to conventional forms of payment by big brands out there. These include car companies such as Lamborghini, Jeep and McLaren. Even Billionaire Tycoon, Sir Richard Branson, accepts this as payment for his Virgin Galactic brand if you are interested in flying into Space!!

It’s important to bring to your attention, that this currency has also come to be used by the hands of drug dealers as well. Whenever it makes the news, there are fluctuations in its value.

There is, however, no stopping this currency from doing its rounds within the online world. Companies are building huge computers to “mine” these bitcoins by solving complex mathematical problems so that more will be released into circulation.

Only limited quantities will be available and by 2040, no more can be mined.

So, here is an option for you to learn how to get into the trading of bitcoins.

8. Affiliate Marketing


In my opinion, this is by far the most definitive way to earn a passive income online.

Why??

1. Because it’s a simple concept to understand. It does take some hard work, effort, and lots of patience, but once you get the “hang of it”,  the sky is your limit.

2. Because you can then set up multiple streams of affiliate marketing sources(or websites) and earn exponentially. It’s truly an exciting and rewarding experience. I have written an entire post on affiliate marketing if you would like to learn more.

⇒Check out my article, “What is Affiliate Marketing?”⇐

This is the process of earning commission from products that you promote on your website. The great part is that you don’t have to stock any of these products. You just register with affiliate programs(it’s usually free by the way) and then provide lots of engaging content for your reader.

Once your site is built up, you can start to monetize it and add affiliate links. When your loyal readers are interested in products that you have reviewed for them, they will click on the affiliate link, and should they buy, you earn your lovely commission.awesome smiling smile

How does the commission work within the affiliate marketing industry?

Commission structure will differ from one program to the next, so shop around here. Honestly, don’t lock yourself in with just Amazon. There are so many companies out there, with the likes of Shareasale, Commission Junction, and Target.

These days, you can also do high-ticket affiliate marketing. You sell higher-priced digital products. Your commissions are higher! That means you do not need to concentrate on selling volume.
