What ways of making money are there left online? [affiliate, dropshipping]

Hey guys,

I have been trying to niche blog for 2 and a half years, but couldn't generate considerable income. Especially this year has been brutal.
I had tried before that to make money with Dropshipping but wasn't successful either.

I am turning to you guys to see if there are still some legit ways to make money. I don't mind spending a few hundred dollars and weekends to make it happen, I don't feel like there is something that is worth pursuing after years of failing and failing in any field that I try.

I don't also want to sound pessimistic, it's just that I feel like making money online is been getting harder and harder each year.

What would you recommend?

Don't spend any money on courses or what not. It's just people selling shovels for gold that's long gone.

You probably know how to write good content since you've been running a blog for a few years, have you tried to find work in that field, as a content writer in your niche?

You probably already know your competition and could show them your website as a portfolio.

Hey Eternalman, I could spend hours talking about ways of making money online. Of course you are completely right, nowadays it's a lot harder to make good money online than it was 15 years ago for example. But there are still ways. I personally know solo affiliates and teams that are making 1 million per month with Facebook Ads and nutra offers for example.

Maybe you just tried and failed in the wrong niches. To run a blog requires a lot of work as Google got more and more sophisticated so you need really good content to stand out and gain positions in the serp.

I'd suggest you to switch to media buying because you can see results faster. Of course that really depends on how much money you have to test offers.

As I already said there are plenty of ways to make money online:

- I once read a post on another forum about a guy making around 6k per month with dating on tiktok. He ripped some porn videos and posted on tiktok just non naked parts. He created lots of accounts and videos and eventually some of his videos went viral. He put a smartlink in his bio and made 6k in a month. (so keep in mind this was all organic)

- Dating is still a good niche if you know what you're doing. Also if you have good seo skills can be pretty profitable once you get a website up and running smoothly, but that might take some time.

- At the end of the day affiliates try lots of different traffic source, but the place where the big bucks are, is still Facebook, so I'd try to focus on that

- There are people makin xx.xxx€ per day with sweeps and push traffic

- Native like taboola, outbrain and mgid are pretty nice as well. ROI is definitely lower than fb but they have less restrictions and bans almost never happen.

I could go on for hours but I gotta go back to work!
Feel free to ask anything if you have any questions

Affiliate marketing is still out there. Target digital products. Don't waste time and money on promoting clickbank stuff. You may find success but if you are new, better work on established brands and their affiliate programs

"What ways............are LEFT online"
Feels so tragic on the day when Google launched AI results xD

yes you are right, it is getting harder and harder the reason for that is that barrier of entry is getting lower and lower. I would suggest building your own brand / company instead of bothering with affiliate. Aim to get an army of affiliates pushing your product otherwise you are probably just building a business for someone else

CPA content locking seem to be the easiest method so far. It’s easier than affiliate marketing and dropshipping

Day trading. If you can learn how to manage risk, you can stay profitable

Services focused on OnlyFans and the adult niche are working great right now. And by services I mean onlyfans manager, onlyfans traffic provider, onlyfans chatters and so on.

Hey, I understand how frustrating it can be to put in so much effort and not see the desired results. It's important to remember that making money online takes time and persistence. Have you considered exploring affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing can be a great way to earn passive income. You can promote products or services and earn a commission for each sale or referral you generate. It might be worth researching reputable affiliate programs like bk8 that align with your niche and give it a try.

Remember, success takes time and effort. Don't give up just because you haven't found the right thing yet. Keep trying and learning from your mistakes. You'll get there eventually!

You could also try selling digital products like eBooks or courses. This could take some time to build up, but once you have a solid product, you can generate passive income.

Bit more generalised but I'd advise *almost* total disregard for the "niche" market you enter.

See so many people jumping from 1 thing to another without ever actually getting good at anything. They bank (or fail) for a short amount of time then move onto the next shiny thing. If you look at these people objectively what are they actually earning in a year, what have they earned over the last 10? It's an extremely inefficient way to operate and realistically it's not very profitable.

The trick to earning proper money, whether it be online or offline, is to get really fucking good at something.

Pick something your interested in, get extremely good at it, then bank for the next 15 years.
