We now live in a time when everything is on the phone and online buying of anything is available with just a click of a button! Opportunities to earn money online where people click on something you offer then pay you is just as plenty as well. Just don't go buy courses or ads to get the click and traffic unless you want to add it to the cost of your product. There are a lot of available blogs and youtube videos that will walk you through with what you want to know without asking for your credit card number.
There are websites where you search for what merchandize are trending. Then, you can start sourcing to get a better price to sell it cheaper on Amazon or you can sell it yourself on your own website or other platforms. You can do dropshipping too where you don't even need inventory of the stocks. You just get money from the customer. Customers will just go to AliExpress, Alibaba, DHgate and other wholesale suppliers and have them ship the product to them. One example a Youtuber mentioned is a Valentine's gnome sold in Alibaba for $3 while amazon sellers are selling it for $15 to $20. You can have it dropshipped or you can buy in bulk and ship the product yourself. They will charge customers a shipping fee of $3 which is non-refundable that covers the price of the gnome already. So if there is a problem like it's returned, lost or damaged, they are already being paid in full. If no problem arises with the transactions, then you may get a profit $15 to $20 just for one gnome.
You can make our own products to sell if you find something you really like making. You can create or invent something, apply for trademark, and earn royalty fees when others want to copy your idea. Then go to another country to mass produce your product at a cheaper price, sell your products on Etsy, Amazon, and many other marketplaces available.
There are also a lot of e-commerce website builders like Squarespace, GoDaddy, Wix, Shopify, Paypal and others that have free basic plans that can generate money for you right away if you find the right products to sell.
Home-based businesses like Pampered Chef, MaryKay, Zyia and others now offer websites to their sellers as well as parties online.
The trick is to find the right product that people are looking for. Then make the right video to put in your social media (especially TikTok and Instagram) where most young buyers are glued into these days. Make that video go viral. Subsequently, source the product cheaper than the Amazon Sellers. Remember most people look at pretty ads then click to buy right away without checking for price comparison most of the time.
Check out Isabella and her youtube channel Baddie in Business talk about online businesses. She is not selling any "how to" courses or apps, etc. She emphasized in all her videos I watched that it is 25% product and 75% marketing. That is what I need to learn. I haven't been active on TikTok or instagram that is why my videos and reels are not going viral yet. Here's something she said that stuck with me though: "It's not about money, it's about sustaining a business for long term."
I also like watching Santrelmedia. These young six figure online entrepreneurs are just amazing to watch. He explains in detail the different Amazon seller programs and other online businesses available as well.
Just be sure if you decide to give them bank details like your credit card number for their courses or other enticing products/services and when you buy or join "you will get rich" lessons or apps, etc. that you really want to spend money. As for me, I don't mind sticking with slow and prodding along. I may not reach six figures yet but I am having fun with the process and not risking or wasting any resources. Plus, these kids are so entertaining to watch and most are pleasing to the eyes too.
Thank you for stopping by.
