I've "been on" BHW for at least 6 months as in just browsing but finally got around to making an account and posting this thread. I am so intregued with this community that I browse it daily and read all methods/journeys/random threads that have been posted. I am currently a college student who's dream career is eCommerce and Marketing. I am so indulged in the thought of making a good profit on the internet world and being able to do it by even putting your own passion into your niche. It is my dream job and I want to get started immediately. To this day, I have made an honest total of $400 in sales in the past 2 years from the internet (most from just selling my old stuff on eBay, $40 from a small dropshipping business I started then closed when I started this semester back up.) I have a solid $1500 coming in this coming friday that can be used towards anything. I have been putting heavy thought into starting my own microniche website/blogsite and using the traffic there to gain income (not sure how yet, maybe affiliate links or advertisements?). I have also considered many instagram methods that are posted on here and even moving back to dropshipping items on shopify from aliexpress again. My question for the whole forum here to answer is, in your own opinions, what is the most dependable solution to the famous question of "How to make money online"? It's such a generic question and I'm most certain it gets asked every single day and there is no true answer, but if you guys could spread your opinions in this thread it may spark some ideas for not only me but fellow noobies on this forum. My thoughts on this are that nobody is going to share their ideas with the world because that only gives more competition to deal with. I'm guessing the people who have made it are the ones that aren't wasting their time on forums helping others but instead out in the bahama's watching their bank accounts grow as they ride dolphins LOL. But I figure why not give it a shot and maybe there are some good people out there to give honest answers to the noobs on this forum. Thanks for reading if you made it this far, and be looking out for my journey thread in the next couple weeks after I make the decision on where to put this $1500 and what I am going to be executing. Peace and love to everyone!
Whoa! Just kidding, welcome to BHW! There's really no way one-size-fits-all answer to that question; what works for one person won't always work for another people. For example, I sell online marketing services locally because I'm in a position where this is easy for me to do. However, some people prefer to only offer those services to people outside of their area. Then you have other people who prefer to use marketing tactics on their own websites rather than on other business websites. These people will monetise their websites and make money that way. You also have people who prefer to make money using methods that don't even require them to have a website. It all comes down to what works for you.
