- Money isn't everything but I think we can all agree
that being broke just sucks.
So here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna pull out my phone and I'm gonna tell you
about 10 websites that you can use to make money online.
None of this is a scam, all of this is legit,
most of these I've used at some point.
As a person who's been online for forever
and I think that some of you really need this
because right now you might need a little bit of extra cash
in the next 30 days, next 90 days, tomorrow,
so let's go ahead and jump into it.
Hey everybody, this is Roberto Blake
helping you create something awesome today.
Welcome back to the channel.
If you have absolutely no idea who I am
and you just happen to click on this video,
first of all, thank you so much for watching.
Welcome, my name is Roberto Blake,
I'm a creative entrepreneur,
I have a social media coaching business
and today I'm not selling you my courses or my coaching.
Today I'm just gotta tell you about 10 websites
you can use to make money online because guess what?
Before I did any of the things
that I do in my current business,
before I did public speaking,
the reality is I was using the internet
to make some extra money
because everybody just needs a little bit of extra money.
And when I was doing freelancing,
you know, sometimes in between clients,
things get tight and you need a way to be able
to have consistent money coming in from somewhere
and in this case, there's a couple of websites
you can use to do that.
So first of all all these websites
gonna be linked down below for you.
You do need to know some information
on these websites before you get started
so stick around throughout the video
and also just a disclaimer,
I don't think I have affiliate links
for any of these websites but just in case I do,
affiliate links are down below in the description.
Alright now that we got disclaimers out of the way,
let's start with something really simple.
Let's start with teespring.com.
For those of you who don't know,
Teespring is a website where you can make shirts.
If you have a social media presence,
you can make merchandise.
Guess what?
If you don't have any followers, it's still okay.
They have a marketplace and you can have people
find your cool T-shirt in the marketplace
and usually depending on how you priced,
you get four to $7 commissions on your T-shirts
which isn't bad.
Even if you have a small audience and social media
or you're just able to make really dope T-shirts,
it doesn't matter how many people are following you,
what matters is getting the sale.
So how do you make shirts for Teespring?
Well for any of these things,
you probably need some design software.
If you don't have Photoshop, no worries,
you can go to a website called photopea.com
and you can make Photoshop files,
you can open up Photoshop files
and you can make cool graphics and T-shirts.
They also have a built-in design tool
that you can use, it's a little bit more generic,
I would recommend doing something custom.
Using photopea.com and that's spelled photopea as in P-E-A,
peas in a pod, so you know that's linked
down below for you in the description.
Also you could use GIMP as a software.
You also could use Pixlr so you have options
when it comes to designing this stuff.
Now obviously, it's easier to sell things
that you make if you have a following in social media
so do not neglect building an audience in social media
even if you have a day job, it's still a good idea.
Especially if you intend to sell anything digitally
and make a few extra dollars.
Now if you've watched any of my videos before
you know that I talk a lot about freelancing.
Freelancing is something that helped me
you know break out of the nine-to-five
and be able to make independent income
before I built the coaching business.
Freelancing is awesome.
The gig economy is growing and there are more
entrepreneurs out there like me
who hire people for freelancing gigs.
I hire people all the time to do little things for me
especially when it comes to digital artwork or assets.
Sometimes I hire people to do things
that are audio related so there's a great opportunity there.
I'm gonna recommend two websites for you.
Upwork where I hire a lot of my freelancers
if I don't already have a personal relationship with them.
And then also even though I don't love this website,
I have my own history with it, why I don't like it,
you can watch a video about that but it's fiverr.com.
Fiverr.com is probably the most popular
freelancing marketplace right now.
They do good marketing I will say that
as far as how they promote their brand.
There are services that I think are good to get from Fiverr
like voice actors or on-screen video talent
and then there are things that I don't love in Fiverr
such as web design, social media marketing
or graphic design so just kind of take that
with a grain of salt but if you are looking
to make extra money, freelancing is a great opportunity
and you can make money so if you want to make upfront money,
freelancing is usually the fastest way
to get paid in my opinion and I would say
Upwork and fiverr.com are two options for you.
So now you have three websites so far
out of the 10 for making money online.
Let's move on.
Let's get something obvious out of the way.
Website number four, YouTube.
YouTube is a website where I make decent money
and I use it to promote and sell other things
whether it's affiliate marketing which I'll get to
and my own products and services,
YouTube has been very good to me in that regard
but it's not for everybody
and to monetize a YouTube channel and get ad revenue,
it's not like it was a couple of years ago.
You have to meet qualifications
and they have to approve you,
they don't let everybody in the program anymore.
That has changed, I made a video about it.
If you want, you can watch that video up here
in the info card, I'll also link it down below for you.
But to make money on YouTube is not a simple thing,
it does require work but if you do it right
and if you're patient, you can make a lot of money with it
if you know how to navigate the YouTube system
and the YouTube culture.
That being said, it's not something
that you're gonna make money off of really easily
in the next 30 days.
It's not gonna be something you can make money off of
the next 30 days, a week, it may not even make you money
the first year that you do it.
It's a long-term game.
If you need money upfront, freelancing and selling T-shirts
is a lot faster for you to make that money
and to cashout than it is to build a YouTube channel.
Which also brings us to number five.
Number five is building a Twitch channel
and becoming a Twitch affiliate.
Twitch has a system called bits
where people buy their digital currency
and then they spend it with you.
Twitch also has subscriptions for people
who are Twitch affiliates so for you to be able
to get donations from people and to be able
to make money in the subscriptions,
it's probably in some cases a little easier to do that
than to become a YouTuber and start making money.
However, Twitch is a completely different culture,
it's primarily focused on gaming and nerd culture
so there's you know less opportunity
depending on what you are an expert
or what you're entertaining in whatever
so I don't think Twitch is for everybody,
I don't think YouTube is for everybody.
Still think freelancing or selling something
is the way to go and again it's a long game
just like YouTube so take that with a grain of salt.
If you have your own website or blog
or any social media presence at all,
then number six and number seven
are going to be relevant to you.
And that is Amazon's Affiliate Program over at amazon.com.
You become an Amazon Associate, sell Amazon products,
you can sell literally almost anything that exists
because Amazon has like all of it
and you can get a small commission on that.
There are some things that are better than others.
Flat rate commissions on things like Audible
as a membership or Amazon Prime delivery or Amazon Video,
these bounties are actually the better way to go
because you get five and $10 straight up commissions
and I like that a little bit better
because if you sell a book, you're gonna make pennies.
If you sell a laptop, it does cap you out at $25 usually
so just take that with a grain of salt,
it might be easier to sell things
like their Amazon Prime membership as an affiliate
or Audible or Amazon Direct Video or Amazon Fresh
or any of those things with the Bounty Program
so I would encourage you to maybe go in that direction.
As for kit.com, if for whatever reason you're not able
to be an Amazon Affiliate, this is not nearly as lucrative
but you will get a commission from those Amazon sales
so let's say you can't become an Amazon Affiliate,
you can become a kit.com affiliate
and you can at least make some money
so I would just look at those options.
You know, it's something.
Website number eight,
if you are a halfway-decent photographer
and have a good camera, and at least one good lens,
I would recommend making stock photography
and selling stock photography
and stock video with Adobe Stock.
So if you go to stock.adobe.com,
you sign up to be a contributor,
then you can go ahead and you could actually
start making money off of your photography.
If you already have photography,
you have photos and videos just sitting around
your hard drive, submit them.
See if you get approved and try and make money
off of that existing inventory
that you've already created with your camera.
I think a lot of people are underestimating this,
I think that it's actually a really good way
for people to make more money.
I'm looking at it a lot harder than I used to
because I have so much photos of just even little things
and it's so easy to go to the dollar store,
get a bunch of stuff and then just
take really good photos of it on a white background
or on a wooden table and then all of a sudden,
you have things that marketers like me,
advertisers might buy to use
for one reason or another on their website.
So something to think about.
Again links in the description below.
Number nine, here's something that almost anybody can do,
freelance writing.
Freelance writing is not the easiest thing in the world
but if you're talking about short blog posts
or even short Facebook posts,
there's a website that's actually really good for that.
It's called hirewriters.com.
And Hire Writers is not gonna pay you a ton of money
but you can earn your way up into brackets
and start making you know money for these very short posts,
it won't take you an hour to write these things
but you'll make some money
and so if you need to be able to like
make a few extra bucks every week, scrape that together,
Hire Writers could be a good option for you.
So I'm gonna link that down below as well
and then that brings us to number 10.
The final website in this top 10 roundup
and that is going to be usertesting.com.
People like me who make websites
that sell their products and services
like to test things that we're doing
and make sure that they're up to par
and that they work the way that they're intended to.
And that means we need people to take a look at it,
tell us what's wrong.
Usertesting.com is a website service that provides that.
You can sign up to be a tester
and as long as you have a webcam and a microphone,
it's gonna help you.
If you have a better webcam and microphone,
then it might be worth more
because you can get a higher you know payout.
Usually between 10 and $20
is what I think I'm used to from people
who use User Testing.
I haven't used this in quite a while
but people I know who are still on it,
they make decent money every week,
sometimes up to $100 or more a week
for very little of their free time.
Most user tests take between five and 10 minutes tops.
So I mean, it's pretty good considering
that you get the equivalent of an hourly wage in most cases
for just a few minutes of work.
So if you can find enough user tests
that you're qualified to take,
then that can add up pretty regularly.
So definitely make sure you're checking that out,
I think it's a good website for some of you
that are trying to make a little bit of extra money
and it's a little easier to use some of these things,
then maybe find clients on your own
and a lot of you, you haven't developed a business yet
so I feel like these websites,
if you need to scrape together some extra cash,
these are great options to explore.
