In this video I'm going to be going over seven freelance ideas that you can start right now
from home and these are ways you can start making money all with the skills and the knowledge that
you already have. The beautiful part about this is you don't need to leave your house, you don't need
to commute to another job, you don't need to be a gig worker such as an Uber driver or a delivery
driver. I'm telling you that is one way you can go but if you learn to utilize the tools you have
such as a computer an internet connection and the skills you already have you can start making money
from home right now so let's get into it the first way you can start making money as a freelancer is
by creating your own blog. Having a blog is a very beneficial thing that I started a couple years ago
and what you want to do is you want to focus in on a niche which is a specialty. You don't want
to just have a blog that talks about everything because then you're not going to be able to really
build a following but when you find a specialty let's say you're interested in cars for example
create a blog all about cars and eventually you're going to build an audience and eventually
you're going to be able to make money by having advertisers run ads on your site or you can run
your own ads promotions whatever it is so that's the first way to make money online as a freelancer
right now is by starting a blog. And you can do this on websites such as Wordpress,
there's a lot of ways you can start a blog that are free and paid different ways you can do it
so I encourage you if you are interested in writing, you enjoy it, and you have a
specialty that you know you can expand upon go ahead and start that right now. The second way
you can start making money online as a freelancer is by creating YouTube videos. Creating YouTube
videos is something that not everyone has the courage to do but once you start doing it and
once you start having some momentum and some progress you will be happy you started because
creating YouTube videos is something that can pay you for years and years to come. Whenever people
find one of your popular videos and you get to run ads on that video you can make money from it so
it's a long term game with creating YouTube videos that anyone can start as a great side hustle and
the most important thing I can tell you about this is to just start now the sooner you start
the sooner you can start making money from that. And there are a lot of different ways and a lot
of different channel categories and types that you can go after on YouTube when you're making
videos and some of those don't need to have your face in it and a lot of people have that
fear of getting on camera and it's something that a lot of creators have to get over
but if you just want to get started look up how to start a YouTube channel without showing your face
and that's a great way you can start making money. Let's get right on to the third way
you can make money online as a freelancer and that is by becoming a virtual assistant.
When you're a virtual assistant you are helping a business owner and you're their assistant, you're
helping them with day-to-day tasks, admin tasks, answering phone calls for them, emails for them,
booking trips, booking things, deliveries, etc. The beautiful part about this is as opposed to
being an in-person assistant where you have to show up to an office you have to drive all around
town do all these chores a virtual assistant only focuses on the virtual aspect so wherever you are
you can start making money online as a virtual assistant you don't need to be in person these
days to be an assistant and there are dozens and dozens of jobs every single day just posted
looking for freelance virtual assistants in every single industry you can imagine
and this is a beautiful way you can start to gain more experience so let's say you want to
move into let's say the digital marketing space, you can be a virtual assistant for a digital
marketing manager or a company and that can get you behind the scenes access to experience you
wouldn't have had previously and the best part is you can get paid while you're doing it. Now
on to the fourth way you can start making money online as a freelancer, that is by providing
email marketing services. Email marketing is applicable to every single business out there
if there's a business that's not doing it they're missing out on money and all the businesses who
are already established they know that one of the most important things any business has is
their database their database of customers, of prospective customers, of past purchasers,
everything. That is what you need to do as an email marketer is tap into those databases that
the businesses already have and create ongoing value with them through email marketing,
and email marketing is a beautiful skill set to learn I highly encourage you to go about this
if you're looking for a freelance idea because it kind of combines writing and marketing and using
a software like an email marketing platform such as Active Campaign and when you're able to start
to combine different skills that's when you can start to make the most amount of money.
Email marketing is highly in demand and if you can get good at this you can become the go-to person
in whatever niche you want to be in for email marketing and that's a great way you can start
making money online. And the next idea you can use to start making money online as a freelancer
is by becoming a copywriter. Copywriting is one of the most in demand skills and I don't see
that changing anytime soon, and the reason for that is because copywriting is needed
in every single stage, in every single sales funnel, everything in business is copywriting
from websites to the advertisements they write from email marketing to product descriptions
to writing blogs on websites and articles and research papers, comparisons, reviews,
whatever it is all of that relates back to copywriting and if you have any skill
set whatsoever in writing whether you're a past English major or you just always liked writing
essays or let's just say you like reading and you love just written words you can turn that into
money and there's also things such as businesses hiring people to write ebooks for them so whatever
it is with copywriting I highly encourage you to start to look at how you can become a copywriter
and how you can go out there and start to just provide your written word to make money and
you'd be surprised how many jobs are posted for this because when you start to kind of reverse
engineer it, businesses don't only want to run advertisements, they also want to have organic
traffic come to them and the best way to do that, like we spoke about in the first freelancing idea,
is to start a blog. But in order to start a blog you need someone to write that content
and that's not easy it takes a lot of hours to continually produce content so when you're able to
be a copywriter for someone you're saving them time and when you're saving people time you're
going to get paid for that and the better you get the more experience you gain in the copywriting
space the more you can start to charge. And there was a freelance video I reacted to it
it's this girl who made over three hundred fifty thousand dollars on Fiverr and she creates ebooks
for over a thousand dollars each. So you can see that you know even if you might start out
and you're not making that much as a copywriter don't let that discourage you and remember down
the line you can really start to compound that all of your experience all of your expertise and start
making a lot of money as a freelance writer. Next let's get into the six freelance idea
you can use to start making money online and this is for all of those artistic folks out there
who like design, who like art, it is graphic design. Graphic design just like we spoke about
in copywriting graphic design is also used in every single area of digital marketing
from advertisements the way they're designed whether they're photos whether they're videos
also even down to the website the businesses logo and so much more than that marketing materials
there's so much that goes into graphic design that people need an expert in and the thing is
you might not think you're an expert but once you get your hands on these new tools such as Canva,
and I really highly encourage you get the paid version of Canva because it pretty much takes
Photoshop and puts it into an easy to use format and it's an online software so you don't need to
download anything you can start creating logos for businesses YouTube thumbnails, edit videos,
edit presentations, and all of that comes back to graphic design. So if you have that artistic bug
in you you want to make some money using your skills you know you don't want to do something
that's maybe writing or you know something that's analytical but you know you're more of
the creative type you want to be able to create things and make businesses ideas come to life,
I highly encourage you go down the graphic design route you will not be disappointed
because there's nothing better than waking up and doing something that you actually enjoy doing
and that you have passion for. And then rolling on from that we're gonna take it into the seventh
freelancing idea you can use to make money online and that is website design. Every
single business out there needs a website and if they already have a website chances are they
need it to be updated regularly so as a website designer you can use platforms such as Duda,
Wix, Click Funnels, Wordpress, etc. to build websites that get businesses more clients more
customers and more phone calls. Every single business needs a website and that is what
everything is linked to, their social media, their ads, all of the media they do outside of that,
it all leads back to the website and that's where you can come in as a website designer to start
making money as a freelancer. So there it is, the seven ways you can start making money right now as
a freelancer from home and I'd like to say that if you don't think you can go out there and do this,
remember that eighty percent of the battle is just showing up. You need to just make
the decision because that's more than half of all of the work it's just making the decision
I'm going to be doing this and I'm going to go do it. I'm going to be a web designer, let me go do
it and try it out. You have nothing to lose once you make that decision, you go out there you get
some experience you can always shift down the line but the problem that most people find themselves
in is they never take that first step. It's always in their head they always want to learn how to
make money online but there's always some excuse that gets in the way, there's always some other
priority that gets bumped up and then making money online and creating a better life for yourself
kind of gets pushed to the back burner but remember over 80% of the battle is just showing up
and included in that is just making the decision to pick one of these skills to learn a little bit,
watch a couple more videos on it and you can start to make money and once you start to make
your first couple hundred couple thousand dollars doing this, I guarantee you that will motivate you
to keep going to keep learning and to keep pushing forward and eventually one day if you want to you
can turn one of your side hustles into your main hustle and work for yourself, be your own boss,
be able to work when you want and where you want, create your own schedule, wear whatever you want,
and really you have so much more freedom and that's what I talk about on my channel all things
