Hey guys,
I've seen a fair amount of threads lately, usually late at night in my timezone, asking about if their money making method is worth it or if they should try something else. The answer to that question is very simple; multiple income streams.
I'm sure you've all heard the old adage: "Don't put all of your eggs in one basket". That rings true with internet marketing more than anything else. So, below I'm gonna list multiple areas of online marketing and a very brief description of how to make money within that area.
Disclaimer: This is in no way a guide to make money, but rather me leading anyone reading this to water. It's your own responsibility to drink said water.
Meaning: These are just ideas to point you in the right direction.
Here are a few ideas/suggestions for those of you still reading:
1. Website Design
Web design is fairly easy to learn. In today's market of content management systems, you can install a Wordpress theme, write some CSS, and get a cheap logo design from Fiverr, and be considered an average website designer. Hint: Even average website designers still make decent money online. Here is a basic Wordpress tutorial and another one on basic CSS.
2. Start a blog with an eCommerce shop attached
More that ever, consumers purchase most of their products online. With that knowledge, a person who is looking to make money online can search for what niches are currently trending. You can use Google Trends, Twitter Trends, & Facebook Trends to find popular categories to write on, and attach an eCommerce shop to an easy Wordpress installation, and you're on your way. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.
3. Become a freelance content writer
"Content is king". I'm sure you've seen that phrase uttered around SEO threads and Google threads alike. Content writers are ALWAYS needed. It is without a doubt one of the most important factors in regards to SEO. Even poorly written content still sells. I know that sounds like a half-assed comment, however it's the truth. Here is one video on how to improve your writing and here is another.
You can start on Freelancer.com, UpWork, and Remote.co but make sure to have writing samples.
4. Social Media
This is a very broad market with multiple ways you can earn money from it. You can sell social media accounts. With that, you will need multiple computers, proxies, and a good proxy supplier. There are several here on BHW. This includes: Facebook, instagram, Twitter, etc.
You can also sell views, likes, retweets and other social media metrics once you build those accounts up. Here are a few threads to point you in the right direction: Top Instagram Threads and Botting on Instagram.
Bonus thread: Here is a small guide on proxies that had some useful information in the original post and in the comments and here is another guide on proxies. Also, @proxygo is our resident proxy specialist. Note: Jarvee is also one of the best tools currently on the market.
5. Dropshipping
Never before has dropshipping been made more convenient for online marketers than when Oberlo was made. Get a free trial with Shopify, get Oberlo, and start your journey. Here is a small guide about the basics of Oberlo and here is another one with a bit more facts. There is also a website that has quick, small video tutorials on Facebook Marketing. I suggest you watch them, just to be informed. Jon Loomer's video tutorials.
If you're not very familar with Shopify and would still like to start dropshipping, you can do this with Wordpress & Aliexpress. This is Code Canyon's Aliexpress/Wordpress plugin that would assist you.
There is also a thread on some of this here on BHW, but for now, this is the only one I could find.
Whether or not you make money depends ENTIRELY on you. Nothing in internet marketing is easy. Sometimes you'll make money and sometimes you'll lose money. But if you're constantly working on things and persevering, you will succeed. God speed, fellow blackhatters.
Disclaimer: I KNOW that the majority of this information is basic and can be found easily. However, these still work. Some of us still forget the basics and this thread is only to be used as a reminder to have multiple income streams.
