the top online business ideas that you can launch to start making money from home that's what we're
going to be going through today now some of these ideas will require no financial investment others
will require a small bit of money to get you started i'm also going to be running through
the models that you should avoid and the reasons why and also the exact business models that i'm
working on that generate me seven figures from the comfort of my own home so let's get into it
now as i mentioned in the intro i'm going to be going through the top business ideas right now
that you can launch to make money from home but i want to make something absolutely clear there is
no such thing as overnight success or a get rich quick scheme so if that's what you're looking for
skip past this video get rich quick schemes do not exist any kind of business promoting that you're
going to get rich quick or you're gonna make money fast it's probably a scam and you should
avoid it it's a massive red flag success whatever that word means to you is the product of drive
resilience and consistency over time it's the ability to work when everyone's watching tv to
wake up early and get [ __ ] done whilst people are asleep and to not take no for an answer or
to give up on the first hurdle that's what success is a product of and there is no such
thing as a get-rich-quit scheme as frustrating as that is to hear now of course i recognize
why people look for those schemes why they want to make money fast because i've been
in that position myself i was thousands of pounds in debt before i launched my digital
marketing agency both on credit cards and on payday loans it was a horrible position to be
in and i wanted to get out of it as quickly as possible so i forced myself into a sales job
to make as much commission as i possibly could i was useless i was terrified it took longer
than i wanted it to take but the only thing that got me there was drive resilience and
consistency over time now if you do want to make money as quickly as possible that's why you're
watching this video there are a couple of ways that you can do so and i would recommend a buy
sell type market for example if you go on a facebook marketplace there are so many people
giving away free items which you can further resell on something like ebay depop and you can
do this in fashion you can do this in furniture you look on craigslist you can look on gumtree d
pop reddit all of these places there are people giving away items for free or for very little
money because they want quick cash and that's an opportunity for you to resell refurbish and
make some cream off the top so if you want to make money fast it's probably the best way for you to
make a bit of quick buck but anyway enough about quick cash let's talk about some real business
models starting off with number one social media marketing or smma which is essentially the modern
day digital marketing agency this is what got me into entrepreneurship in the first place and to
this day is still my core business the affluent agency it's person a which is me approaching
person b which is a business owner and offering a service that's going to increase this business's
revenue per month in my instance that service is facebook ads but other agencies offer web design
seo instagram ads whatever they want to offer now i know what you may be thinking you don't have a
clue how to run ads for companies or provide any kind of revenue driving service and neither did
i when i first started i have no clue how to run facebook ads whatsoever but you will be surprised
how easy it is to learn new skills now because this is a revenue driving service business owners
are prepared to spend thousands on a monthly basis for it and they don't have the time to
do it themselves because they're busy running the daily operations of their company the beauty of
service-based businesses and why i think they're one of the best business models in the world
is once you master your craft and you can get great results you can then leverage those results
to sign up new clients and you'll barely have to sell whatsoever because your service will do
the talking for you and best of all this business model requires no financial investment whatsoever
just your time and you will have to put in a lot of time when you first get started as with all
of the business models that we're going to be going through today because they're real tangible
opportunities now once you establish your agency and you build a team you don't have to do any of
the work yourself and so you can claim back time and financial freedom within your life now if you
want to learn more about social media marketing and how you can get started click the link
somewhere around this video after you've finished watching this or in the description and you'll be
able to learn how to get started today and also if you want to learn more about my digital marketing
agency head over to affluent.co/agency so that's opportunity number one number two
is affiliate marketing now affiliate marketing is essentially taking a commission from a sale
of somebody else's product for example if we are on amazon and one of our friends wants to
buy a tv well if we send our friend an affiliate link of that tv from amazon we will get paid a
percentage of the sale once our friend buys that tv to say thank you for us generating the sale on
behalf of that company and this is the same for many products and services across the internet
if you head over to clickbank.com you'll be able to find a number of products or services which
have affiliate programs and lucrative ones at that now my opinion on affiliate marketing is you
should only become an affiliate for products you actually use or you have a genuine understanding
of i think it's unethical to sell products or be an affiliate of products that you don't
use or don't have a very solid understanding of because you're essentially selling something that
you have no interest in or no understanding of whatsoever and that's unethical as far as
i'm concerned but affiliate marketing can be a huge extra revenue stream for any business owner
that wants to make passive revenue from home for example about two years ago i realized i wasn't
making the most of affiliates and so we started becoming affiliates for multiple products that
we were using and now to this day we have stacked on an extra multiple six-figure profits onto our
total revenue just from affiliate products alone and that's without us having to do anything at all
apart from recommend products that we already use number three goes hand in hand with affiliate
marketing and that's launching a personal brand like the youtube channel you're watching right now
when i recorded my first ever youtube video i had no idea how many opportunities this would open up
youtube ad revenue is now a big revenue stream sponsorships from companies it's incredible how
much companies will spend for personal brands to endorse their products or their services and again
make sure that only products that you're actually using now i'm not talking about launching a
youtube channel or an instagram account and start monetizing everybody who follows you right away
launching an online course that's not the best way to do this the best way to launch a personal brand
is to provide more value than your competitors are making people pay for okay that's what i did when
i started my youtube channel i created content that other people weren't prepared to create
because they just wanted to monetize their audience right away and that's how we were able
to grow and to this date we still give away more for free than other people will have you pay for
so when you launch a personal brand make it authentic create content that you know people in
your industry want they're desiring and the best place to look is your competitors comment section
create the videos that your competitors audience are crying out for that your competitors can't
be bothered to make it's a good place to get you started and just document your business journey
whatever industry you are based in just document it because people like following the journey
people like to be able to relate to somebody who is on the same path as they are and just realize
this is not going to happen overnight a personal brand can take a lot of time to build it really
does take consistency over time make sure you are producing content and releasing content at
least once a week to keep people engaged and don't miss weeks on end okay be consistent
with your audience give them the respect that they deserve because they're giving you their
time to watch your channel and also give them the respect not start charging for everything as soon
as you possibly can because that's one sure way to push your audience away first of all for everybody
watching this who is my existing audience shout out to all you guys i love you so much uh so yeah
that's starting a personal brand but believe me it's hard it's hard graft right it takes a long
time and i've seen so many people start and quit because it isn't overnight at all but a personal
brand is invaluable for everybody regardless of what business industry you're in because
you can start positioning yourself as a thought leader and that will open up huge opportunities
number four is amazon fba or fulfillment by amazon and this is how the majority of products
work on the amazon platform you may have noticed there are lots of products on amazon which look
exactly the same they just have different branding different packaging and that's because those
products are probably bought from the exact same factory so come from these find manufacturers in
countries like china they buy products cheap they rebrand them repackage them and then sell them for
a premium on amazon the best thing about this is they don't even have to handle the products once
they've found a product and they've found their brand they've designed everything themselves those
products get sent directly to amazon and then they're fulfilled by amazon so amazon store them
and they send them out for them and then send you a paycheck every couple of weeks to say thank you
for selling on the platform so it's a very passive revenue stream the tricky part is finding a good
product because it needs to be in demand with low competition and that part is tricky in fact
i'm not overqualified when it comes to amazon fba i haven't launched a product myself but i
have a very good friend called johnny bradley who has been very successful within amazon fba
so put a link in the description to his channel if you want to check out that business model
following on from this number five is shopify or ecoms now this is similar to amazon fba apart from
we're sacking off amazon and we're doing things ourselves we're going to find a manufacturer in
somewhere like china or elsewhere you can use websites like aliexpress or alibaba to find
different products find something that you want to sell rebrand it package it up design a website
on shopify which is a really easy drag and drop e-commerce website builder and then you can sell
these products yourself you can either store them yourself and ship them out or you can eat
into your profit margin send them to a fulfillment company for them to store them and ship them out
for you now the key here is you need to find the right product it needs to be on trend relevant and
not have too much competition and that's the hard part and you also need to invest adequate time
into your brand this is one of the biggest mistakes i see e-commerce brands making they don't
invest enough time into their website their logo and their overall company image especially their
packaging because that is what makes people strike interest straight away i've got a video on my
channel a company called lima they're a supplement company and their sales completely depend on their
brand if they didn't have a brand they wouldn't be having anywhere near the amount of sales that
they're having and that's so important when it comes to e-commerce investing time into design and
how your brand actually looks that's how you stand ahead of competitors who are selling the exact
same products of you as you essentially now there is another spin-off business here from shopify and
e-commerce and that's called drop shipping what we would essentially do is find a product and
a manufacturer build a website out and when we sell products that manufacturer will then send
the product straight through to the customer so we don't have to handle it sounds great right no
because they don't have very good profit margins whatsoever we're not buying those products in bulk
from the manufacture therefore we're not taking advantage of the really cheap rates so it eats
into our profit margin the shipping costs are also very high as well my opinion is if you want to get
into ecommerce build a real e-commerce brand buy products either ship them yourself or ship them
for a fulfillment company and avoid drop shipping model number six is creating custom products and
selling them on etsy or depop or any other website similar to that there is a huge trend right now
for bespoke items there are so many things in my house which are completely bespoke ordered from
etsy so if you're artsy you have a creative skill you know you have the potential to create
a product you've got ideas you should definitely do so it's a booming industry right now people
love bespoke creative pieces from furniture to art to printed canvases whatever that may be
commissioned pieces make good cash so if you're creative head over to etsy or depot finally i've
got a bonus one here for you that leads on from the last and that's selling services through
websites like fiverr and upwork.com there are many other websites similar so go have a look on google
now i'm not here to tell you what service you should offer there are thousands and thousands
of different services but that could be seo it could be website design it could be graphic design
whatever you are interested in whatever you have a passion for learn a new skill spend a couple of
weeks learning a new skill and then start offering it on websites like fiverr.com which provide a
source of traffic for you with those websites all you need to do is create an account and they will
provide the traffic people will search for your service and then they will hire you to do a job
for them then all you need to do is provide a good service get a great testimonial you'll build your
reputation on the platform and be recommended to more customers so yeah that's it i think i'm all
business modeled out these are the ones that come to mind for people starting businesses at home i'm
sure there are many other opportunities if i've missed any let me know down below what ones you
prefer now something i think you should avoid when you're first starting out is training a
lot of people talk about trading or forex forex in itself i can make a whole video about an absolute
minefield people make more money from selling forex as in selling how to do forex and signals
than they do from actually trading themselves so i would avoid forex and day trading when you first
start those kind of things should just be a hobby once you've already got success you've got some
money that you are prepared to lose that's not a quick way to make money um whatsoever unless you
really know what you're doing but yeah i think the most important thing is you pick something
you are genuinely passionate about you need to enjoy your work at the end of the day and don't
move from business model to business model yes multi streams of income is important when you
are already successful move on to something else when you have more time don't move on to something
else when you're first getting started out okay you're gonna spread yourself too finn you'll be
in the exact same position you're in right now looking for opportunities so pick a model that
you're interested in and stick with it be consistent and actually apply the knowledge
that you learn take action on everything you learn about that business model and just stick
with it consistency drive and resilience that's what gets you to where you want to be so yeah i
