8 original ways to earn money online

Setting up an Internet business is the goal of many people who want to reconcile quality of life and good income. Working from home allows you to avoid wasting time when traveling, as well as being able to organize work time with greater flexibility. There are endless options to earn money online, but I thought it would be better to cite some original examples, beyond those that are usually cited.

I also want to insist on one thing: making money is never easy, be it online or otherwise. It is clear that there are many ways to earn a small income, such as filling out surveys or the like. But if you really want to start a business, you must spend a lot of time offering a good service and making yourself known. Appearing in the first results of the search engines or having an important base of followers in social networks requires effort and time. And the results are not guaranteed. But there are also very lucrative opportunities for those who have talent, creativity and perseverance.

Take advantage of bookmaker bonuses

Do not misunderstand. I'm not talking about making money with bets, but with bookmaker bonuses . The nuance is important, because taking advantage of the bonds is a risk-free technique, while betting in the traditional way is a waste of money.

The technique, known in English as matched betting , is to take advantage of welcome bonuses or special offers on betting pages. Specifically, what you do is bet on an event that only has two options with a similar probability, such as a tennis match between two players of similar level.

1. You are looking for two bookmakers that give away a welcome bonus and have that match with similar odds.
2. Betting by one player in the first house and by the other in the second.
3. The result of the bet is neutral, you lose the commission that the houses take, but you take a good part of the bonuses.

That's a very simplified version of the matched betting principle to make money online. Actually doing it by hand is a bit complicated, but there are specialized platforms, such as NinjaBet, that provide you with automated tools and tips to take advantage of those bonuses.

Online travel consultant

Today, traditional travel agencies are having a hard time, since everyone can organize their vacations and buy their tickets, their accommodation and even all-inclusive plans from the comfort of home, on the computer or with their mobile phone. However, organizing a trip is complicated, and takes time. Hence the idea of ​​setting up a travel consultant business, which simply uses clients' preferences to find the best options, and to propose them to them. The customer then buys the airline tickets and accommodation. Remuneration can be a fixed amount depending on the type of travel, or a flat monthly rate for clients who travel a lot.

Earn money doing online courses

If you know a lot about a subject, you can create online courses. The great advantage of this type of products is that once you have them prepared, the distribution costs are very low , and do not depend on the number of customers. Therefore, if you get interesting content in a niche with a sufficient audience, you can earn a great income. The originality in this case comes from the themes you can find. If you analyze it well, there are people willing to learn practically anything, not just about languages ​​or traditional academic training. Why not make money online doing courses on how to build your own drone? It all depends on your knowledge and the potential market.

Community Manager for Small Businesses

Online presence is essential for any business. Sharing interesting information on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter can publicize the company and get new customers. However, it is a task that requires time and some methodology to get good publications. Small business owners typically don't have the time for those tasks. Therefore, there is an interesting market for a service company that manages online business communication, in particular its social profiles. You can define a publication frequency (daily, twice a week, weekly, biweekly, etc.) and a type of content (product images, inspirational phrases, relevant news ...). The company can serve many small businesses, maximizing their online impact while they can dedicate themselves to other more strategic activities.

Consultant for meeting pages

Applications like Tinder are very successful, but many of their users are not satisfied with the experience. Sometimes they do not get compatibility, other times the conversation with the other person ends abruptly, the appointment does not work, etc. Hence, you can imagine a consultant business for meeting pages, a bit like what Will Smith did in that movie ( Hitch ). The consultant could earn money by having online Skype (or Zoom) sessions with his clients, giving them some tips and techniques to increase their chances of finding a partner. I would also review the profile to get more contacts, from people who match what the customer is looking for.

Make money online with the sale of domains

A new domain can be registered for very little money, but at this point it is often difficult to find one that is free. There are not a few people who register names in the hope of selling the domain later. It can be a very lucrative activity, as long as one is aware of some developments and trends. For example, a few years ago, domains related to electric scooters were likely to be fairly easy to register or cheap to buy. Today, with the boom in this type of mode of transport, associated domains are likely to be worth significantly more. It is just an example, but it illustrates how following trends allows you to get interesting income through the sale of domains.

Consultant for teachers

Teaching online or in person is one of the usual resources for many people. Language, music, cooking or even art classes are some of the most common examples. However, many of the people who launch into this type of activity have the knowledge in the subject but not the working methodology. The role of an education consultant is to help these people develop their lesson plan , adapting to each type of student (beginner, intermediate, expert). It is an activity perfectly compatible with working from home, using online methods such as videoconferencing.

Make money online with the preparation and editing of videos

There are three main types of content on all web pages: text, images, and videos. It is clear that third parties are the most complex to prepare technically. Recording a video is very easy, but it is much more difficult for it to look professional. Among institutional presentation videos, YouTube channels and others , it is clear that there is an important market for those who decide to start a video preparation and editing business. You can work online for any client in the country, and even the world.
