Sell Your Photos
You no longer need to open a studio to make some extra cash as a photographer. There are plenty of sites looking to buy digital photos. Of course, the better you are at it, the more money you will make, but it can be nice passive income. I have friends who have earned a few hundred dollars for a single photograph! Here are some of the more popular photo buying sites to check out:

Affiliate Programs
Did you know that you don’t even need to have your own products or services to earn a hefty paycheck? This is the beauty of affiliate marketing. You promote other people’s stuff and when someone buys, you collect a cut of the sale price! That’s it. No need to carry an inventory, deliver the product, or provide support to the customers! Where do you promote affiliate products? On your blog, social media, articles you write… pretty much anywhere! Here are some popular networks that offer ad links to earn some cash from:
Clickbank – Their online marketplace contains tens of thousands of products to choose from, and you can earn commissions as high as 75%!
Amazon – They’re tied with Linkshare as my favorite network. You can promote books, audio books, video games, clothing, kitchen tools, even car parts! You can earn up to 10% commission on majority of what’s being sold on their website! They pay their associates like clockwork, which I love.
JVZoo – Huge variety of products to promote; from business, cooking, and education, to foreign language, gambling, and travel!
Make Money With Email Marketing
It’s somewhat easier to induce the existing prospect to buy your product rather than by selling it to the new one. If you’ve developed good relationships with the existing customers and the trust is already established then you can drive sales in a matter of days. Just take out the list of buyer addresses and there you go!
Make Money With YouTube Videos
Making money on YouTube entirely depends on the level of people’s engagement with the advertisement. Here I refer to engagement as ‘ to click or watch a video for 30 seconds.’ As a matter of fact, the Adwords platform manages the YouTube advertising. For this, advertisers must have to select from a CPC (Cost Per Click) or CPV (Cost Per Video) model.
Offer Gigs on Fiverr
Look back at your previous experience to see if there are any skills you can trade. If you can provide experience in financial consulting, translation or market research, you can offer your services on Fiverr. You can either start at $5 per job or up-sell your gig to make more money. Fiverr is one of the largest providers of freelancers and caters to a wide variety of businesses. The platform helps talent thrive, but your success can take time and effort. However, brilliant reviews and testimonials from previous customers can help you steadily grow your income.
Build A Blog
Starting a blog is a tedious and most demanding task. It might take you a year to rein in a reasonable income from it, and then only if you rack up a lot of hours. Nevertheless, building and running a blog is one the surest ways to make money online. Start by picking a domain name; it should be something short and sticky. Make it memorable.
Use WordPress to build a clutter-free and easy-to-use site with clear navigation and a responsive theme from BYLT. Pick a reliable and inexpensive hosting provider like Hostinger with dedicated support and high speed.
Use Grammarly for writing quality content, and most importantly, help people find answers to their problems. Once you get the hang of being a blogger, the progress will be much faster and the income much larger.
Sell Audiobooks with Audible
In the age of content fatigue, people are looking to find answers in a manner that will require the least amount of effort. Video content blew up overnight, and we also have seen a growing demand for audiobooks, so seize this opportunity to make some cash.
