- Make Money Blogging
I have been earning money with blogging for almost 11 years. I have made more than 2 million dollars with blogging.
But I was a little confused when I started my career in blogging.
I had zero ideas about blogging when I started my first blog in 2009. I worked very hard for blogging but made no money for almost one year.
But I did not give up! I researched topics on Google like:
how to create a blog
how to write content
how to promote your blog on the internet
how to make money from your blog
I learned a lot of things about blogging during that 12 months.
And things were getting started in my favor after some time. I made my first $100+ (from Google AdSense) from blogging in 2011. Then there was no looking back. Today, I make almost $25,000 (Rs 15 Lacs+) monthly from blogging.

- Become a YouTuber
YouTube is the hot craze in 2022. Everyone wants to become a YouTuber. Everyone wants to make a lot of money & fame through YouTube.
If you want high motivation, you can see the list of these famous and highest subscribed YouTubers here on SureJob who are making millions from YouTube.
You don't need to live your job, studies, or other things to be a YouTuber. You can even do it part-time and make sufficient money.
Here are the exact steps if you want to be a successful YouTuber:-
Step 1: Decide your niche.
Like I create videos on digital marketing in my channel Pritam Nagrale, you need to decide the topics you want to choose for your videos.
You can choose a niche like comedy videos, motivation, self-help, vlogs, interview series, kitchen recipes, health, how-to-do videos, travel tips, news channels, sports, gaming, or similar on YouTube.
Step 2: Create your Channel
Create a YouTube channel in your name. Add an attractive profile pic and banner image. Edit your bio section and add some quality information about you as I have added in my channel Pritam Nagrale.
Step 3: Create videos
It's good if you have a professional camera, but you can also use your smartphone camera. Check a proper silent place and suitable lights to shoot good quality videos.
Step 4: Promote your videos.
Though YouTube tries to promote your videos, you can get views, and subscribers fast if you take some effort. You can start promoting by sending it to your friends and list on social platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
A good title, description, and thumbnail will also help you get more views on your videos.
Step 5: Monetize your videos
Once your channel completes 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of videos views within 12 months, you can apply for the YouTube partner program. YouTube plays ads in your videos and pays you for the number of views your video receives.
Once you reach 5000 or 10000 subscribers, companies will approach you for sponsorship.
They pay Rs.5000 to Rs. 10,000 to the micro publishers and more than a lacs to mega influencers for sponsoring one video. I have sponsored videos for my channel, Pritam Nagrale and DMatic Digital.
- Affiliate Marketing

- Online Selling
Last year, I published an interview video (which went viral) of an online seller, Mr. Nimit Lodha, on my channel Pritam Nagrale. Mr. Nimit is a seller with Amazon & Flipkart and has an annual turnover of Rs. 50 Crore.
That is the power of online selling.
Online selling is very much different than traditional selling. In the traditional way, there is not much scope for selling your products or services outside your local area, but in online selling, you can sell your products and services all over the country and even globally.
There are 2 best ways to sell your products online.
The first way is to create an e-commerce website for your business and sell your products from your online store. Second is, you can become a seller with Amazon, Flipkart, or other top online shopping sites.
The second option is much better and simple. You don't need to hunt for the customers. You can get millions of existing customers from these reputed online stores.
Are you thinking what if I don't have any product?
Many Amazon and Flipkart sellers don't own any product, but still, they are selling various products on these platforms and making a profit from this business.
What you can do is, go to your local market & try to find some exclusive products that you can sell on Amazon or Flipkart. E.g., if you go to the Manish Market in Mumbai, you can find many best products at a much cheaper rate than Amazon.
Another option is to import cheap products from other neighboring countries.
There is a lot of competition on Amazon and other shopping portals. You need to make a balance between your price and profit margin to become a successful seller.
- Domain Trading
Domain trading is one of the most profitable business if you have good research skills in buying domain names that may fetch an excellent amount in the future but are still available to grab.
Last year, I was doing casual research for domain name availability, and I found a good name. Though I don't deal in domain trading, I booked it.
A few days later, I got a message from someone asking me to sell this domain name. I had no experience in this, so I started the conversation.
Initially, he offered me $500, but I refused; he then sent a follow-up email asking for my selling price.
I asked him $4000, but after some negotiation, I sold the domain for $2000.
I bought it just for $17 for sold for $2000—almost 115 times profit.
And that's the reason domain traders make thousands of dollars every month selling domain names.
If you actively search for quality domains and buy, you can sell them for the very high amount to companies in the future.
When a company finds that the domain he is looking for is available with you, they will send you a message to buy it. Now you need to set the price according to the demand and negotiate with the company as I did in my case.
You can even sell these domains on Flippa or GoDaddy auction so that you can fetch more than your desired price.
- Website Flipping
Website flipping is also a good business to earn money online. It's similar to domain trading but here with websites.
That means here you have to buy a website and sell it for a higher price in the future. There are various platforms like Flippa Empire Flippers, which you can use for website flipping.
You will find thousands of buyers on these platforms who are interested in buying your website for 40 times to 50 times the price of your average monthly profit.
For example, if you make a net profit of $500 from AdSense or affiliate programs or both from your website, you can sell it for $20,000 to $25,000.
There are two ways to sell a website on these platforms.
The first is – to start a new blog, work on it for 6 months to 1 year, monetize it with AdSense and affiliate programs for next 3 to 4 months and sell it.
The second way is – buy an existing website with some traffic and revenue from Flippa, work on it for next 3 months to 6 months, grow the profit and sell it again on Flippa.
This is much better way, as it's easier to grow the profit of an existing website with traffic as compared to a new website.
Many experienced flippers purchase such profitable websites from Flippa or other marketplaces and make a huge profit selling them again.
- Sell training & consultancy
Do you have some skills that people need badly? You may be an expert in the stock market, some subjects, meditation, motivation, managing finances, nutrition, entrepreneurship, etc.
There is a tremendous scope if you create training or course around your skill and sell it online. People are earning in lacs selling these courses through Facebook or Instagram.
You can create a landing page for your business where you can describe your product and how it can benefit people who buy it.
Just drive traffic from Facebook or Instagram to your product page and sell it in India and other countries.
You an also drive free traffic from YouTube, Google search and many other social platforms.
- Stock & Forex Trading
Stock trading & forex trading is a another profitable way to earn money. But if you are just a beginner, I will recommend you to get a basic training in this before you invest your money.
Several free and paid training and courses are available on Google and YouTube to get the training in the stock market. You should be careful before buying any course because there are so-called gurus who have not made any single penny, but they claim to be a millionaire.
You can even start reading newspapers like Economic times or watch TV channels like CNBC, subscribe to YouTube channels to get more idea on stock market. It may be risky for you to invest into stocks, forex, cryptos or NFTs without enough knowledge.
