Here Peter Hanley looks at how to earn money at home online with several of many ways in this part of a series of real ideas using minimal funds.
Working from home has real value
There are many but most of them provide extra hours in the day. No travel time, no getting dressed up and looking great, no water cooler gossip, and best of all choosing your work hours around a life.
The common question is what can you do to make some money without mortgaging the house or bending the bank?
By now you have probably searched the Net for great ideas and it all seems a bit confusing
and beyond your abilities and most of them are asking for money.
There are many traps, tricks, and scammers waiting for new players to emerge and get them in with wonderful promises of instant wealth and good fortune.
Unfortunately, it is not really like that in your life. There is no big pile of money waiting to be picked up without effort. If there was I would have already picked it up and most likely never share it with you.
That is sad news but then again it is not all bad news, People do make money and the difference is they plan and work toward it so when it comes it looks instant but the background is long forgotten with a show of wealth.
Blogging up your wealth
This is not going to be one of my recommendations but many have made a success of it and gathered a big income from sponsorship and advertising revenue.
Gaming gathers a huge following from the young and not-so-young so if you are into gaming look here.
Then, Food, medical, reviews, and being rich and famous help to get a base.
The problem with this is that the top is very small so you really need to do something different to break through the barrier.
The real pursuit is finding followers
You may be the best blogger ever but if no one reads or follows you then you are lost in the ocean drifting along without any support.
The answer, of course, is to gather followers and we will come to that.
YouTube is a product waiting for the masses.
It can be called bogging by video and is fast becoming a search engine to equal google.
Video stats by Merchdope
The total number of people who use YouTube – 1,300,000,000 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute! Almost 5 billion videos are watched on Youtube every single day. In an average month, 8 out of 10 18-49 year-olds watch YouTube.
Can you see a position for you inside all those video watchers wanting to follow what you have to say or present?
In the USA, however, only a small percentage of businesses contribute to a channel.
What do people look for?
Well, music, comedy, famous or even keyword of the day.
When the movie A Star is Born with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was released there was one song that captured the moment. The song “Shallow” has now had 510,216,233 views
(April 2019) which is a bundle of traffic. Before the movie it had been done before but not like this.
When you open this on Facebook you will be hit with different advertisements that help people make money. That is what it is all about.
I just googled a random thought on “How to make a bed” One of the many that you could choose from had 406,804 views. It's a bundle of traffic and opportunities.
How to earn money at home online making a video
Is it hard to make a video for YouTube?
In days past you did need a lot of equipment and expertise plus a bundle of money but now you can use your I IPhone or computer and be on air in a short time, however, it will be without a following because you have not done the work that comes before.
It is all about keywords
Keywords are what people will use to find your product. Let's look deeper
A star is Born
Lady Gaga
Bradley Cooper
Shallow
Any search using these words will all take you to a song by this pair that is popular Shallow.
Before the movie, Gaga would be a search but the others not so much.
How to earn money at home online with YouTube
So how will YouTube help you?
Sell your services to businesses near you by doing how-to Videos for them.
First of all, you need to learn about how to set all this up and to have an understanding of what you should do and what you are likely to achieve.
I always recommend you start with free training with Wealthy affiliate to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. There you can find a bit about affiliate marketing as well and this is my next subject.
The next is making a few videos. also for free,
that will give you an inside run for a lot more adventure and a new money earner at Wealthy Connect
Here you will get 7 days to fully understand the procedure to make a video, sell it and earn from it working in your Jarmas.
The biggest thing on the internet is affiliate selling
It's about selling other people's products and getting paid a commission to do it. If you think Amazon you will understand what I mean. A large percentage of their sales are via affiliates. This is probably the easiest thing to do but a lower commission rate and tight rules.
Millions of businesses have affiliates working with them. If you google any subject and add the word affiliate you will see all the opportunities available.
The problem is that, in most cases, to be accepted you need to present a case that will suit what they want to achieve.
Generally a selling website and a following which is hard when you are on day one.
Where do you start your training and learning experience?
One site set up to do this for you is the one I mentioned before Wealthy Affiliate.
Trying this costs you nothing and doing a lot of the training is included.
Even as a free member, you automatically become an affiliate with ongoing income from them.
Yes, I push them often because they are a genuine concern without up-sells and other money grabs. You can chat with members and learn all the skills to start a business and then do whatever takes your fancy from home.
So many offers such a hard decision.
Not really. The one thing you should do is choose something and learn all about it so you become an expert. People will then pay you for your experience and knowledge.
On this page, you will see where we explore social media, and other money-making ideas if this blog does not suit you.
However, I implore you to do your basic training where you start to have a chance of success.
If you want to run 100 meters in 10 seconds it will take you a couple of years of effort to get near that result.
The internet is no different, there are opportunities everywhere but concentrate and consolidate into an area that suits your needs and get that working before moving on
