Hey, I'm Dale L. Roberts, best-selling author
as well as a self-publishing advocate
who wants to show you how to publish books that sell,
and if you want that too,
of course subscribe to this channel,
and also join me on Twitch every Monday at 12 p.m.
Also, if you have Amazon Prime, you can subscribe to me
at Twitch.tv/SelfPublish,
and you'll get a few extra freebies in the process.
Stick around to the end, 'cause I'm gonna show you
the easiest way to stack all of these recommendations.
That's right, you don't have to choose one or the other.
You can utilize all five of these.
I've been an online entrepreneur since about 2014,
and I've been doing it full-time,
but I do know a few of these avenues,
even if you just chipped away at it a little bit every day,
or maybe once per week, you can start to see
some revenue trickling in,
so I can confidently recommend
these five ways to make money part-time at home in 2020.
Number one: freelancing work.
If you have a skill, or you have knowledge
that other people don't have,
then chances are pretty likely
some people might want to hire you for that.
Places like Fiverr, and UpWork,
and even places like Craigslist are just a treasure trove
when it comes to other online entrepreneurs
looking for your help, so if for instance
you're really good at cleaning up photos,
then chances are likely I might want to hire you.
I might send in some of my photos
that I have done through iPhone, and send it to you,
and have it cleaned up.
Let's just say for instance you're a great video editor.
Then chances are likely I might want to hire you.
Think about what you are good at.
Focus on your strengths,
and find the platform to set up shop,
and just slowly dabble at this.
Make a little bit of extra money online part-time.
Number two: affiliate marketing.
If you like a specific brand, product,
service, or company, then chances are pretty likely
they are going to pay you to refer people
over towards that direction.
It works like this: if you like a product,
then you probably are going to share it.
Now just imagine if a company paid you
for referring people over towards that direction.
As a very loose example, if I had a movie
I just got done watching, and I really enjoyed it,
and I told you about it, and you went and watched it,
the theater would then come back
and give me a portion of the ticket sale
for me sending you over to watch the movie.
Pretty cool, right?
Well you're probably saying,
"Well, how do I find these affiliate programs?"
Super simple: you're gonna open up Google,
and essentially type into the browser whatever it be,
the brand, the product, the service,
followed by affiliate program,
and chances are pretty likely it'll pull it on up there,
and each one of the affiliate programs are gonna vary
on how they pay you and when they pay you,
so just make sure that you're paying attention
to their terms of service.
I see sometimes as low as 20 cents per acquisition
to as much as say 20, 50, or even $100
for sending traffic towards them.
It's gonna be up to you to do your own due diligence
when it comes to affiliate marketing.
Number three: course creation.
Remember how I was saying if you had a specific skillset
or knowledge when it came to freelancing work?
What if someone wanted to learn that from you?
They didn't wanna hire you,
they wanna learn how you did it.
Well that's where courses come into play,
and between places like Gumroad, and Teachable,
and one of my preferred places, like Thinkific,
and Kajabi, and so on and so forth,
there are different course-hosting platforms
that you can set up shop.
Now this is going to require a little bit
more work up front, so if you're doing this part-time,
it might take a little longer
for you to start up a course.
The nice thing is, as soon as you've done a course,
and it remains evergreen, you can send traffic
over towards that direction, and people will pay a premium
to learn from you.
Number four: self-publishing.
I know: shocker, right?
You're on a channel that's called Self-Publishing with Dale,
that I'm gonna mention the fact that you can make money
part-time online with self-publishing.
Specifically what you're publishing are books,
and this could be eBooks, print books, and audio books,
and these three things, I'll tell you,
has made a substantial living for my wife and I
over the past six years now.
Don't get overwhelmed by it.
One of the things I'd recommend first of all
is to subscribe to this channel, of course,
make sure that you turn the bell notifications on
so you don't miss a single one of these videos,
and also, go through the back catalog
of the videos that I have here.
Very simply put, between Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing,
Barnes & Noble Press, IngramSpark, Lulu.com,
there's so many platforms you can utilize
to produce written content, so if you had a book
that's been remaining inside your shelf in your mind,
then I would really recommend you get it outta there,
and put it into any of the mediums of eBook,
print book, or audio book right away,
because you could start to make a part-time living.
The nice thing is, you don't need to be awake
in order to make a sale.
They'll do the sale for you,
and you go ahead and make money while you sleep.
And before I get to the number five solution,
I wanna let you know, stick around for the bonus tip,
'cause I'm gonna tell you
how to really put everything together.
Number five: email marketing.
Okay, so don't just go and take your email account,
say that you have through Gmail or Yahoo
and start to send off people, you know,
your freelancing work, and your affiliate marketing,
and your courses, and your books.
That's a no-go, that's what's called spam.
Actually, there's services out there,
including the likes of places like Mailchimp,
MailerLite, and my preferred place of SendFox
that you can do a lot of this,
and you know, get it to where you're not spamming people,
and essentially, what you're gonna do
is have people join your email newsletter
through one of these services
through what's called a landing page,
which is essentially like a micro-site
to where people can subscribe to your email newsletter.
And in that event,
when you get people to join that newsletter,
you can start to market them
all of the different affiliate products
that you're involved in,
as well as any freelancing work,
any books that you're publishing,
as well as any type of courses.
Here is the bonus tip, though:
the thing that's going to wrap everything together.
You're looking at it right now: video marketing.
Video is huge.
Actually, a couple years ago,
a good friend of mine, Owen Video,
actually shared at the Merch by Amazon conference in Seattle
how over 80% of online consumption will be in video by 2021.
That means eight out of every 10 people
are gonna be watching video,
so one of the things you need to do
is get yourself on video.
It could be on YouTube,
it can be on Facebook, it can be on Twitch.
There's so many other services
that you can take advantage of.
YouTube is probably the easiest ones in my opinion.
And now that you have all these tips put together,
and you know I told you a little bit about self-publishing,
believe it or not, there's a platform
called Kindle Direct Publishing.
In fact, I actually go through a full review of it
in this very next video down here.
Is KDP worth it in 2020?
Well, you'll find out when you join me in the next video.
See you then.
