If you are interested in making money online or online business
Then I really recommend watching this video because today I'm going to be sharing with you the top 10 online
Businesses that I highly recommend for beginners. Hi everyone. I hope you're all having a great day if you're new here
My name is Greg and I like to talk about online entrepreneurship
So if you're interested in making money online
Feel free to look around the channel and you might find some stuff that you like in today's video
I'm going to cut right to the chase and share with you guys the top 10 online businesses that I recommend for beginners
first things first
If you are new to making money online or starting an online business, then I highly recommend watching this video as well
I'll link it down in the description
And that is the top 10 businesses that I recommend not starting if you are a beginner to online income there are quite a few
Very popular ways to make money online and there's reasons why I don't recommend them for beginners
So take the time to watch that one
You can watch it after this one if you like now all ten of the ways in this video
I personally have experience with I can highly recommend to you as an online business
Beginner and the biggest part is these are all based around passive income not active income
The number one thing you have to keep in mind with making money online is it's based around two things
It has to be passive not active and it has to be scalable
That's how you make real money online what I mean by that is answering surveys and things like that
You have to actively put in time to make money now something that's passive you put an upfront work and then it keeps selling over
And over again when you've already left it out of your mind
You're not doing anything else or lifting a finger and you're still making money from it
Then you add in the power of the Internet where it can scale and now you can do this around the world
Not just your local area. So with that said all 10 of my recommendations in this video both are passive and scalable
So two more really quick housekeeping things before we get into this list of ten first being that these are in no specific order
I highly recommend all ten of these and second being I have a lot of resources already on YouTube related to these ten things
So I'm going to link them all in the description
So after you watch this video take a look in the description
You can choose what you want to start and I'll have videos linked up for you
So with all that being said, let's get into the top 10 list here
Okay
Number one and this comes by no surprise if you've been following this channel for a while and that is teespring
Now many of you probably already know about teespring, but for those of you who don't briefly what it is is considered print-on-demand
So all you have to do to make money with this is create designs
Upload them to teespring and they go on to virtual listings
These will be on t-shirts sweatshirts
tank tops mugs all different pieces of art even pillows or wall art and people can buy that design if they like it on a
Specific piece of clothing in a color and a size and then what happens is teespring
receives that order and prints exactly what that person ordered
So if it's your design on a red shirt in size medium teespring prints one of those and then ships it out to the customer
Takes care of all customer service and even returns if they're already now
The beauty of this is as a seller. There is completely no risk. You can do everything here completely for free
Essentially you upload the designs
They do the marketing because once they get a sale, they take a little bit of the profit and you get the rest added
Right into your account
And again, this is entirely passive after you've uploaded your design to teespring and you've created that virtual listing
You don't have to do anything else that listing will be there forever
And as people find it and they buy something custom teespring takes care of everything else
And they just add your profit right into your account now in a nutshell the strategy here is to add a lot of really good
designs to teespring and that way you have a lot of lines in the water and that's how you can scale once you've uploaded all
These designs you don't have to do anything else and you'll be getting more sales
Passively just from teespring doing marketing
Now a quick thing here is a lot of people think you have to be a graphic designer
You have to have experience creating designs
However, their smartphone apps and different websites that I'll recommend in links in the description
But you can use to create all these designs. So basically you just come up with ideas. Use these apps
It creates a good design upload at the teespring. They take care of the rest
I know people often say there's no such thing as passive income online where you can go sit on a beach and make money
but this is a perfect example of that and you'll see as I go through these 10 they all prove that statement wrong you really
Can do the work upfront and then go sit on the beach and just collect as you make money. So that's number one
That's teespring print-on-demand. Now, let's move into number two number two builds right off of number one and that is merch by Amazon
Now what's really cool about this is teespring is not the only player in the print-on-demand space Amazon is actually in on this too
They have a program called merch by Amazon and it's the only one where you actually have to apply and get accepted
however with that said the application only takes about five minutes and most people get accepted and again
It's completely free to use but the absolute best part of this is that merch by Amazon and teespring are non-exclusive
So those designs that you added on teespring?
You can also upload the exact same designs on merch by Amazon and get double
The exposure merch by Amazon takes the designs that you upload and puts it on standard pieces of clothing and adds it into the Amazon
Marketplace
when people go through Amazon and they find your design on that article of clothing they can select their size and the color of the
Shirt, and it looks just like you're buying a normal shirt with prime shipping
So once someone purchases that on Amazon again Amazon takes care of the printing the shipping customer service and even returns
So it's completely hands-off after you've uploaded your design to merch by Amazon Amazon pays you in royalties
So as you're creating the designs both on teespring and on merch by amazon
You'll know how much you're going to make for each sale
and then once the sale happens
They put that amount right into your account and merch by Amazon pays out monthly
So you'll get paid out every month with your profits on those sales
Now again, one of the best parts of this is that it's passive and scalable Amazon gets so much traffic to their marketplace
So once you upload these designs, you don't have to do anything else
So all you're responsible for doing is coming up with more designs and adding them so you can build your business bigger
So that's number two. That's merch by Amazon again print-on-demand now, let's move into number three
all right number three and I had to put this in here because it builds off of number one and number two and this is
Red bubble red bubble is another big reputable print on demand website and non-exclusive again
So you can add the same designs from teespring and merch by Amazon right onto your red. Bubble
I promise this is going to be the last print on demand site in this top 10 list
But I have to put them in here because they are such big players and you can get triple the exposure from creating one design
So with that set it's the exact same process for teespring and merch by Amazon
You just use that design upload it to red bubble create the virtual listing and move on
You don't have to do anything actively once you upload them you're done
So that is 1 2 & 3 that's teespring merch by Amazon and red bubble
They're all print on demand and they're all non-exclusive. So the same design you can upload to all three
So right off the bat, those are three really good passive online income streams that you can scale as big as you want
All right. Number four. This is a niche affiliate marketing website
This is another really reliable way to make money online that's passive and you can scale it through the roof
It does take a few months to really get this started and start seeing substantial income from this
But essentially what you're doing is creating a website around a specific topic or niche and then creating blog posts on that website
Answering common questions and reviewing popular products or services in that niche
And then the way that this works is people will search for things related to this topic or niche
Asking those common questions that you have answers to or looking for
Views of products in that niche and your website will start to come up in the Google search results
Now the reason that this takes a while to start making money is because it takes a while to start showing up in the Google
Search results
But once you're in the Google search results
People will continue to search those questions to find those answers and look for reviews of those products
So they will start clicking on your website as you start to show up now
That's where you'll get your traffic and once they're on your site
they'll read your blog article where you can put in affiliate links to those products or those services or you can even recommend
Products when you're answering a question and have your affiliate link there
It's so easy to do this, especially because of the Amazon Associates affiliate program, which is the world's biggest affiliate program
It's right through Amazon and it allows you to create an affiliate link for any product on Amazon
so chances are the products that you're reviewing or
Recommending are on Amazon and that allows you to easily get an affiliate link to put into your blog article
Now this works for products that aren't on Amazon either
So if it's a product or a service that's not on Amazon you just join their affiliate program and that will allow you to create
An affiliate link there and you put those in the blog articles now again
I'll put more detailed tutorials down in the description on how to do this and a lot more detail about it
but
essentially
You're just creating a niche
Affiliate marketing website that people will find on Google search results and they'll click your affiliate links as they read through
This one definitely takes a few months and it's more of a long-term play
But once you start getting that traffic from Google, this is a really good business moving right along to number five
This is doing affiliate marketing on YouTube. This is very similar to number four but instead of writing blog articles about it
we create videos about it so we can answer common questions in a niche or we can review popular products or services and make a
youtube video about it
Now the best part about this is that you don't need any subscribers to start this
You don't even need any video experience
If you don't want to be on camera
You can screen record your computer and just talk about the product or service or answer that question
You can even create a PowerPoint presentation answering that question and then just talk through it as you screen record your computer
So you really don't have to be on camera if you don't want to but the best part about this one is Google owns YouTube
And YouTube is a search engine on its own
so as people type in those questions on Google it may show video results and
Additionally people will be going just to YouTube looking for video reviews
They'll be looking for
Videos to answer those questions and people will start to watch your videos as you show up in the youtube search results
I know it's easy to think that you need a big following and subscribers to get views
however
Your views will be coming from search results not from subscribers
So you don't need any
Subscribers to start with this and then the last thing about this is once you make that video review you put your affiliate link in
The description and in your video just mention that the link to this product or the service or whatever it is
will be down in the description and that is effectively how you do affiliate marketing on YouTube and again
You don't need a website for this and it's completely free to start now time for number six
And this is making an information product or a course now don't be discouraged by all the thousand-dollar
courses and fake gurus and all the hype around online courses
you can actually put together a low ticket course over on udemy or Skillshare just sharing knowledge that you have from your daily job or
Some kind of hobby that you have and then putting together a prepackaged easy to follow along step-by-step course
That's only ten or fifteen dollars
Now a lot of people don't do this because they think that you have to have a certification or you have to be an expert
Or have some kind of credentials to make an online course. The reality is online courses are based around results and not credentials
typically
We've been taught to learn from someone that has credentials however with the rise of the internet and online
courses for a lot less money
You can start to learn from someone who can give you
Results doesn't matter if they have the credentials if they can show you how to do it and do it. Well, that's worth it
So with that said there's two platforms that I recommend you use and that is skill share and udemy
both of them are very beginner friendly and it allows you to create and host your entire course now before we go any further you're
Probably thinking well, I don't know what to teach. I'm not an expert. So you just write off this one entirely
I really challenge you to sit down and think what are some skills that you have that other people have asked in the past what?
Are things that you know better than the general public these are things that are really good for course content
Because even if you're only on a scale of one as a beginner ten to an expert
even if you're only somewhere around a seven all the people that are six and below don't know as much as you so if you
Can help them get to your position as a seven that is an effective online course and then as you become more of an expert
On the topic moving into an eight and nine and a ten the market of people that can learn from you are more
So just keep that in mind
You don't have to be a ten to teach people six and below you can be right at a seven and share how to get
Them to a seven
I hope that makes sense and just know that if you can deliver results in an easy step-by-step way
You can create an online course. Okay number seven and this one is extremely easy to start
So I recommend everyone starting this one if you can and that
taking advantage of the Ebates
Referral program now Ebates is a plugin that you can put on your computer and essentially saves you money by giving you cash back
Wherever you shop
however
They have a referral program where if you send someone the link and they signup
Completely for free to use Ebates as soon as they buy things online
I think it's twenty-five dollars worth of spending that they use they're going to get cash back and they're going to save money
But it gives you $25 for referring them and credits them an additional ten dollars just for signing up through your link
So essentially this is like small-scale affiliate marketing where you have your referral link and you can send it out to people
Completely free to join. There's no fee to sign up or anything
And then once they spend the money that they normally would have spent on Amazon on Best Buy on Walmart
There's a million different sites that participate in the Ebates program build the earning cashback and then as soon as I spend twenty five bucks
You'll get twenty five and they'll get ten. It's a win-win now
I don't want this to be confused with multi-level marketing or network marketing. This is not a pyramid structure at all
You don't make money on their referrals if they ever refer someone to the program and there is no fee associated with signing up
It's just the $25 spend that they spend on Amazon or whatever online shopping. They're already doing in the future now
What's really cool about this is you can do a huge marketing burst of this in the beginning
So as soon as you sign up for the Ebates referral program
You can blast this out to family and friends on facebook on instagram all social media and then as they sign up
Even if they don't spend $25 for the next year or two years once they do
Then you will get your 25 and they will get their 10
So if you do a huge marketing burst in the beginning and then forget about it
You'll just wait for all those to convert and then you'll see twenty-five dollars coming in here and there and then in day-to-day life you
Can always continue to share your link with people you can just text it to them if it comes up in
Conversation easy as that now the only catch to this one is that it's not available in all countries and regions
So I recommend going to Ebates again. I'll put my link down in the description
So if you want to sign up with my referral link, it's actually kind of cool
I'll get twenty-five if you end up spending money online and you'll get ten back for free
But once you sign up, it'll tell you if your country or region is supported
This is mostly because of the gdpr laws
If you're in Europe, you probably already know about this and Ebates has told me directly that they're working on this gdpr thing
So hopefully it will be available everywhere in the world soon
But just try it out and see if it allows you to go through or if your country or region is not supported yet
but that's the Ebates referral program and I highly recommend that one for beginners because it's so easy to get started in and you can
That link with family and friends and make a couple hundred dollars very quickly
Okay number eight and this one again is a little bit of a long-term play
But this is creating a YouTube channel now first things first
I wanted to include this one in here to encourage people to do it
Some people will say it's too late to get started with YouTube
But I want to tell you that I just recommend getting involved and trying to get something started
It typically takes a year or two years until you start to see substantial growth
But once you do that from then on out, it can be a great long-term addition to your online businesses
Now YouTube is all based around value. So whatever kind of videos you're creating whether that's educational or entertainment videos
Just make sure that you're delivering value to people and adding value into their lives by watching the videos now a perfect
Example of this is if you create entertainment videos or vlog videos as long as your videos create a viewing experience
That's as good as Netflix or something else that they could be watching on TV. Then you're delivering value
And that's what's going to keep people watching and coming back for more
So just keep that in mind if you're thinking about getting started with YouTube and just know that it is a longer term play
but it doesn't hurt to start getting videos out on a channel and seeing what happens now if we go back to number five we
Were talking about doing affiliate marketing on YouTube. This can be a great introduction to creating a youtube channel
You may start to get subscribers by putting out your review videos and answering questions and then you can build off of that
following ask what they would like to see more and then create more of that content and then just keep that snowball going but the
Way that your youtube channel will make money passively is what's called YouTube ad revenue
so other companies putting ads on your videos and then you see a split of that money that
Advertisers paid for that ad on your video and the last thing I want to add into creating a YouTube channel
Is that to be monetized currently it takes one thousand subscribers and four thousand watch hours in the last year
So those are the two requirements and again that may take some time until your channel to that point
But once you are at that point, you'll start making money from the YouTube ad revenue
Okay
number nine and this is another really good one and this is
Kindle ebooks if you can see there's kind of a trend a lot of these happen on Amazon and that's because Amazon is so big
In their marketplace is so powerful
So essentially what this is is you can turn an information product course into an information product
Ebook and you essentially type out what your online course of videos are
Into chapters in an e-book and then upload it through Kindle on the Amazon Marketplace
this is another great way to make an information product because if people aren't aware of Skillshare or you
They're not familiar with buying online course of videos
Then there's a great chance that they are familiar with Amazon and no Kindle or ebooks so they can purchase it in a text format
And that way they can read through the chapters as opposed to watching videos
Both of these are designed to give people the same result
So whether they're watching the videos in an online course, or if they're buying it in text in an e-book
You'll be walking them through the same steps in the same process
so again
That one's completely passive. And once you go onto Kindle you can use their software to format it
so you can just type it all in a word document and then use Kindles free software to format it into an e-book and then
completely for free you can upload that onto the Amazon Marketplace and all of Amazon's traffic will now be seeing your eBook and again this
Is completely passive once you upload it
There's nothing else to do now one tip on this one
if you do want to do some marketing for your eBook you can actually do a
Five-day free promotion once a month on Kindle and that will get people to buy your book
It's free and then you can get reviews that way which will move you up in the Amazon Marketplace get more traffic seeing your book
So creating a Kindle eBook and having that on the Amazon Marketplace is another great online business. That's very passive
And this may be a better option for you
If you don't want to be on camera or creating a video course rather
You can type out all the steps and upload that into an e-book. Okay number 10
This is the last one and I really like this one as well. And that is an Instagram affiliate
So just like we were doing affiliate marketing on YouTube and our own niche affiliate marketing website
You can create a free Instagram profile and do the same affiliate marketing there. Now. There's two reasons why this is really good first
It's completely free to do you don't have to have a website or anything?
You can just create the page and start and second because you can use the power of hashtags
So even if you don't have any followers in the beginning when you create posts on your Instagram page, you can use niche hashtags
So whatever you want to show up for you can put in those hashtags on that post and even if you don't have followers
People in that niche will start to see your posts
So there is more to this on how to build an Instagram page to do affiliate marketing with it
And again, I'll put links in the description so you can watch a full tutorial on it
But just know that that's a great way to get into affiliate marketing and you don't need a website to do it
So it's completely free to get started
So just like that guys that is the top 10 list of online businesses that I recommend starting for beginners again
I have experience in all of these and there will be a ton of links down in the description to give you more
Information about these I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you have any questions at all, let me know down in the comments
Otherwise, I'll see you guys in the next video
You
