- Here's 21 money-making websites
which you can use to make some extra cash on the side.
All of these websites need no money
or any prior experience to get started.
Now, although you may not become a millionaire
with these websites,
but you can definitely make enough
to save up for a good trip with your friends or family.
There are so many videos similar to this video on YouTube,
but unlike them, I'm not gonna give you 21 websites
where all you have to do is surveys.
I've decided to categorize these 21 websites
into seven money making categories
where each category will contain three websites,
and just because you'll hit that like button just right now
there's gonna be a bonus category
with three more money-making websites.
I'm waiting for you to like it.
We all have this filmmaker within us that everywhere we go
we wanna take good pictures, good videos,
and then they just stay in our gallery and get forgotten.
Well, what if I told you you can actually use them
to make some money on the side?
As of 2022, there are more than 51 million
YouTube channels out there,
and the number of channels grew by 36% just last year.
The first thing a YouTuber wants to add in their videos
to make it look better is music, audio, and B-rolls.
B-roll is simply an overlaid video while I'm talking.
So for example, me talking about pizza,
and you can see pizza on the screen, that's a B-roll.
Now, the reason why we YouTubers add it
because it makes the video a lot more engaging
and it looks a lot better.
I myself have a subscription with a platform
where I can get copyright-free videos, audios, and images.
Now making a video,
I sometimes don't have enough time
to get a certain type of B-roll,
for example, a cat walking on the street.
So I use a platform where I have a subscription
where I can get copyright-free content
of other people who have uploaded a video
of a cat walking on the road,
which I can simply download and use in my videos.
And this is what you can do.
There are plenty of websites out there
which you can use to upload your videos and images,
but the top three, in my opinion,
is Storyblocks, shutterstock, and foap.
All you have to do simply get on these websites,
create an account, and then upload your video or images.
And every time someone buys it,
(cash register chimes) you will make a commission.
And the best way to do this is actually,
first get on these websites and search for things
which you cannot find,
so for example, a walking cat.
If you wrote a video of a walking cat
on any of these platforms and you can't find anything,
then simply go out there,
try and find a cat which is walking,
make a good video, and simply upload it.
This is a method where you're more likely to make money
as the video is not already out there
and you are the only one.
Now the big question
most of you guys must have right now is,
Jatz, but how much do these websites pay me?
Shutterstock pays you
anywhere from 10 cents to $6 per image,
and $1.25 to $48 for every video.
So the more you sell,
the more money you'll make on Shutterstock.
For foap, the cost for each photo is around $10,
and they usually charge 50% commission,
so in return you'll get 50% commission,
which is $5 per every photo.
And the last one is Storyblocks,
which pays you in a slightly different way.
To explain it better, here's a quick diagram
of how it works.
So Storyblocks have a certain amount of subscribers
and every subscriber pays a certain amount of fee.
From that fee, a certain amount is set aside for a pool,
which is what is paid out to the people or to the sellers
on Storyblocks who get the money through commission.
So the more you sell on Storyblocks,
the more money you'll make via the pool.
Now in terms of effort and time required for this category
is really low because whenever you go out
with your friends or family,
you can literally take pictures of certain things,
and then simply come back home and upload it.
However, if you wanna take this more seriously,
then obviously you're gonna do some research
of what videos are not on this platform
and then spend a few hours in a week
taking some good shots, good videos, good images,
and then simply upload it.
Website category number 6 to 9, transcribing.
Website category number two, transcribing.
If you notice the mistake I made just a few seconds ago,
then you're a good listener,
which also means you can be a good transcriber.
It is really one of the easiest way to make money
because all you'll be doing is converting audio into text.
As I already mentioned,
there's a huge rise in content creators,
and whenever we make a video,
we want our videos to be transcribed into text
so that we can post as an article, as a blog,
or even my YouTube captions,
which you see right here, if you have your captions enabled.
This is something I paid for to be transcribed.
Now the quickest way you can start making money
as a transcriber is by signing up
with Rev, Scribe, or TranscribeMe.
Out of these three websites, Rev is the most popular one.
So if you do sign up with Rev,
you might just have to wait for a bit
before they get back to you.
Once you're signed up with any of these websites,
they will send you jobs which you need to complete
in order to get paid. (cash register chimes)
Now, as a bigener, you're not gonna get the most
or the biggest paying jobs because you're still learning,
and your speed that you will complete jobs
is gonna be really slow,
which is why as you become more experienced,
you will get higher paying jobs.
All three websites I have mentioned pay a similar amount,
which is anywhere from 50 cents to $1 per video minute.
Now, there's one thing I would like to tell you
about transcribing is that if you are transcribing
a 30-minute video and you're getting paid $12,
then don't think that if I do two 30-minute videos,
that's one hour and I can make $24,
so you're making $24 per hour.
It doesn't work like that,
because one 30-minute video
can take you probably around two hours,
or, according to this chart which you see on the screen,
as a beginning it can take you up to two hours
to do a 30-minute video.
So technically, if you finish transcribing
two 30-minute videos,
it will take you four hours for $24.
Yeah, but the great part is
that as you become more experienced,
the time which you're completing the jobs will decrease,
and then your amount per hour will be different
as you will be faster.
Website category number three, surveys.
When I was in year 10,
I didn't have a lot of money to spend,
and that's why I was always looking for ways to make money,
and that's when I came across surveys which pay you.
At first I thought they were a scam,
because every time I'd done a survey,
I would just get disqualified and make nothing.
But I didn't give up and I kept trying,
and eventually I started
(cash register chimes) to make some money.
Now, it didn't make me enough to drop out
and become the next millionaire or a billionaire,
but it definitely helped me
make some extra Amazon gift cards,
which I was able to spend on Amazon and buy stuff,
which I really wanted to.
So if you're looking for something
that can make you some extra cash
which can pay your gym membership or your weekly groceries,
then surveys is something which you can try out.
The website I used to do my surveys was swaggbucks
because they have so many ways you can make points,
but the other two is Google Rewards and Branded Surveys.
The process for all these three websites,
which I've just mentioned, is pretty much similar.
All you have to do is create an account
and then they will send you daily surveys,
new daily surveys,
which you can complete and make points and get points.
Every website roughly gives you $1 for every hundred points.
In the start, you will definitely need to put
a lot of effort to become good at surveys
because you'll get disqualified.
But once you know how to do surveys,
then you can spend one to two hours a day
to reach that withdrawal limit,
so then you can redeem your PayPal or Amazon voucher.
Website category number four, teaching English.
If you're listening to this video,
then I'm assuming you know English,
and you probably know how to speak English,
and if so, you can make money by teaching others
how to speak English.
English is the most popular language in the whole world,
and according to this news article from Global Newswire,
this market is expected to be worth
almost 70 billion dollars by 2022.
(hands smack)
And it mentions how, "English language learning nowadays
has become a necessity to sustain a competitive world."
This clearly shows how much demand there is
for people to learn English.
The top three websites you can use to start teaching English
is Cambly, (indistinct), no, preply, and italki.
Now, some of you might be saying Jatz,
but I don't have any qualifications to teach English.
Well, the best part about these websites
is that you need no experience
or any qualifications in order to sign up.
You can literally sign up right now
and once you have your account ready,
you can start making money.
On average, English tutors charge anywhere from $15 to $25,
which is the amount you can set
on your preply or italki account.
However, on Cambly, you earn on every minute
you spend chatting.
So if you spend 60 minutes chatting on camera,
you will make $10 and 20 cents.
The most time consuming part of this category
is the application process
when you sign up with either of these websites.
It will take a while for your account to get open,
but once it's open,
then honestly it depends on how much time you wanna spend.
Because the more time you will spend teaching,
the more money you will make.
If you're watching this video,
then you probably have a mobile phone or a laptop
where you're always browsing
through different apps and websites.
So you definitely know what makes a good app
and what makes a bad website.
This is why you can try out software testing.
As we all know, that new technology is always coming out,
and before it goes live to the public
it has to be tested for any issues or any bugs.
According to these stats, there are 250,000 new websites
made every single day,
and most of these websites needs to be tested
before they actually go live to the public.
And that's why software testing is going to be here
for a long time.
The top three websites which you can use to get started
with software testing is use userlytics, userfeel,
and Userbrain.
The process for a software test on all three websites
is pretty much similar.
Once you have your account ready,
then you'll be given tasks,
such as, "Go to the Contact Us page
and you have to record your screen," and literally do that,
and then you have to give any improvements they could make.
Or if you think it was fine,
you basically have to give an honest review of how it is.
Now, userlytics pays you anywhere from $5 to $90
for every test successfully uploaded.
User Brain pays you $5 for every 5 to 20-minute test,
and userfeel pays you from $3 to $30 per test.
In my opinion, this is one of the easiest way to make money,
because all you're doing is simply recording your screen,
and telling what's good and bad about a website or an app.
So in terms of effort, I would say it's really minimal,
but in terms of time, obviously, the longer the test,
the more time you'll be spending.
Category number six, freelancing.
We all have a unique set of skills,
but we don't know how to monetize it,
and this is where freelancing comes in.
It allows you to find people who are willing to pay you
for the skill which you have.
It could be as simple as creating template designs
or even video editing.
It's literally any skill which you have.
Also, freelancing is not going anywhere anytime soon,
because we all know what happened in 2020,
and due to that businesses now prefer
to outsource the work to freelancers
rather than hiring new people and paying them,
because there's always this fear
that what if something happens,
and then they cannot afford to pay their employees.
Another reason why it's always gonna stay here
is because of the rise in content creators.
As content creators grow,
the first thing they need to hire is a video editor,
thumbnail editor, I don't know, Instagram crew,
designers, or stuff like that.
Basically, that's why there's always gonna be
a need of freelancers for people like us.
There are plenty of websites you can get started
doing freelancing,
but the top three which I prefer is Upwork,
fiverr, and Etsy.
Now, some of you might be shocked to hear Etsy,
because most people see Etsy as a website
where you can sell handmade stuff or you can sell templates,
or you can sell basically real physical products.
But the thing is that you can also post your services,
which is your freelancing services.
Now, the signup process for all these three websites
is pretty similar.
The difference is that on fiverr,
once you've created your account or your profile,
you need to post gigs which you are offering.
So for example, you post a gig on, "I can make thumbnails,"
or "I can edit videos," or "I can create this."
And then whenever people look for those things,
like, let's say, video editing,
then your gig will come up and they can pay you for that.
Whereas on Upwork, once you've created your profile,
and you added all the kind of description
and what your past experience is, this and that,
then whenever people search for, let's say, a video editor,
then your profile might come up,
and they can contact you for a job.
And lastly on Etsy, it's similar to fiverr.
You simply have to create your profile
and then start posting jobs
or post basically a product which you wanna offer.
And that could be a service.
You can sign up with all these three websites for free,
but whenever you make a sale,
they will charge you a fee on each sale.
On Upwork, the percentage of fees which they charge
actually decrease at the amount you make.
So the more amount you make, the smaller the fees,
which you can see on the screen.
Fiverr charges a 20% fee on every sale you make,
and Etsy charges you 6.5% on every sale,
which is the lowest from the other two websites.
Freelancing does require a lot of time in the start
because first you need to set up an account.
Once you're set up for your account,
you just optimize your account
by putting all the description,
all the experience, all the skills,
and then it's to get your first job.
Because if you have no reviews and any past work,
customers won't trust you easily.
And that is why to get your first order,
it can take you a while.
And also some jobs which you might get as a freelancer
won't be like one day or two days.
It could sometimes be one month or two months.
So the jobs you take on will take a lot of time, as well,
to complete,
which is the reason why freelancing is a skill
which can make you a lot of money,
but definitely requires you to put in the work as well.
You can definitely do this as a side thing,
along with your job,
but it does require a lot more work
compared to the other websites which I mentioned about.
Before we go on to the next category,
here's a word for my sponsor for today's video, osome.
If you're looking to start an online business
and you wanna be safe
in terms of your finances and taxes and accounting,
then you need to check out osome.
They're an e-commerce account company
who will help with all your taxes, bookkeeping,
and anything related to tax.
And they have a very easy to use online platform
where you can chat with your accountant,
as well as upload your invoices
so they can take care of your bookkeeping.
And the best part
is that you can actually register your company.
Wire them for one pound
and get two months worth of accounting for free.
If you're gonna use this offer and get started today,
then you can use the link in the description.
Now let's move on with the video.
Website category number seven, online teaching.
If you're good at teaching,
but you're shy doing it face to face by online tutoring,
then another way to make money
is by creating an online course.
As you can see, there's an increased number of students
learning online.
And it shows people are choosing to learn online
rather than going to universities.
And the main reason being is because uni fees are so high.
So people are choosing to learn online,
and that's why this market will always keep rising.
A great example of a person who has done really well
with online courses is Ali Abdaal.
He has multiple prerecorded courses which you can simply buy
and start learning directly from him.
And you don't even need your own website
to upload your course or bring any traffic,
because you can use platforms like Skillshare, udemy,
or Teachable where you can upload your course,
and whenever someone purchases it, you get money.
The process in all three websites is pretty much similar.
All you have to do is create a high-quality course,
upload it, and then wait for it to be approved.
Now in terms of how you make money,
for edemy and Teachable,
it's saying whenever someone buys your course,
you make money.
Whereas on Skillshare,
every time someone watches your video, you make money,
as well as every time you refer someone
to sign up to Skillshare, you also make money.
With udemy, if the person buying the course
uses your unique discount code,
then you make 97% of the actual sale.
However, if it's an organic sale from the website,
then you only make 37%.
And on Teachable, depending on what plan you are,
you are basically gonna be either paying 5% fee
or you're just gonna be paying transaction fees.
Now, the best thing about online teaching is that,
yes, in the start it takes a lot of time
as you're to record the videos,
make an account, upload it, get it approved.
But once it's done, then you can sit back
and simply make passive income,
because there is no effort you are gonna be putting in.
Once it's uploaded, there is nothing more you're doing.
Obviously you can reply to the students,
(indistinct) and that.
But other than that, you're basically sitting back
and making money.
Now because you have liked the video,
it's time for category 7.5, copywriting.
Persuading customers to buy something
is one of the most difficult skill to have.
And if you are good at it, then copywriting is for you.
If you go on Google and type in best freelancing jobs,
then copywriting is the number one job.
Or let's take this fiverr gig, for example,
where this person is charging 590 pounds for his basic plan
and he has got 81 reviews,
which means if he is made around 81 orders,
on just the basic plan, then that is almost 50,000 pounds.
Now, who wouldn't wanna make an extra 50,000 pounds,
on the side along with their job?
It's a life-changing number.
But by no means I'm saying it's easy.
It takes time, effort, and dedication.
And you should always know that there are new businesses
being built every single year,
and they will always need a copywriter
in order to start producing more sales for them.
There are many websites out there
where you can promote your copywriting skills,
but the top three reputable and the most well known ones
is fiverr, Upwork, and PeoplePerHour.
The process to make money on these websites
is pretty much similar.
On fiverr and Upwork, I already mentioned above,
and on PeoplePerHour, it's literally similar to Upwork,
where you have to sign up and put in your skills,
what are you good at,
do you have any past experience, and stuff like that.
And whenever people search for a certain skill,
like copywriting, in your case,
and then they will reach out to you for your service.
And similar to Upwork, PeoplePerHour charge you
depending on how much you make.
So the more money you make,
the less fees and percentage you'll be paying.
The amount of money you can make on these websites,
being a copywriter, differs from a person to person,
because there's a person who might be charging $10 per hour
and there might be a person charging $50 per hour
to do copywriting.
So it really depends on how much you wanna charge
and how much work are you really getting.
If you choose to sell with fiverr,
then you already know that they charge you 20% per sale
and Upwork and PeoplePerHour have a similar kind of system
of fees they take.
The more money you make on either of these platform,
the less fees in percentage they will charge you.
In terms of effort to make money using this category,
you will definitely need to spend a lot of time
enhancing and polishing your skill
because copywriting is not an easy skill.
You could definitely learn it, but it's definitely not easy.
And once you learn it,
then the time you'll be spending
will not be really too much,
because it's a skill you have developed over time
and the more experienced you will be,
the more quicker you will finish a job.
But once you have mastered this skill,
you'll be like a piece of cake. (chuckles)
Ah, it actually tastes good.
And by the way, when I went to get this cake,
there were so many options,
but I decided to stick with this one
and now I'm enjoying it.
Now, similar to this, make sure you choose one category,
and stick to it in order to become successful at it.
And if you enjoy this video,
don't forget to watch this video right here
and I will see you there.
Take care.
Have an amazing day and...
