Hey everyone,
welcome back to another video.
If you are someone who is looking for a work-from-home job
that is real, legitimate,
and you don't need any special skills
or experience to start,
then this is going to be the video for you.
My name is Greg Gottfried,
and I have been officially working from home
for over seven years now.
I've tried all of the popular work-from-home jobs
or business ideas,
and I figured out which ones actually work.
So over the course of the next couple of minutes here,
I'm going to share the four online businesses
that you can start to work from home
that you don't need any experience or skills to do,
and you can literally start making money today.
So the first work-from-home business idea
that I highly recommend is print-on-demand.
If you haven't heard of print-on-demand,
essentially what you do is create T-shirt designs.
You upload them to a couple print-on-demand websites.
They will automatically sell
because those websites get their own traffic,
and then each month you simply get paid
with your split of the profit from all of those sales.
Starting a print-on-demand business is 100% free.
You don't have to invest anything
to start making money here,
and you can start this business today.
All you have to do to start this business
is create T-shirt designs
and upload them to print-on-demand websites.
First, let's talk about the design.
When it comes to creating designs,
if you don't have graphic design experience,
that's no problem.
You can use T-shirt design tools
and they have templates that you can customize,
change out the graphics, change out the sayings,
and they are totally copyright free.
Essentially, you come up with ideas
that you think would be good on shirts,
you go look at these templates,
and you customize them to fit that design,
and then you download it directly to your computer.
Now, once those designs are downloaded to your computer,
the next step is to upload them to print-on-demand websites.
Now, one of the biggest print-on-demand websites
is actually Amazon.
Amazon has a feature called Amazon Merch on Demand.
It used to be called Merch by Amazon,
so you may have heard it that way,
but essentially, you can create a totally free account
with Amazon this way, and then you can upload your designs
and they actually get listed on Amazon
as a physical listing.
Now, Amazon gets nearly 2 billion people
to their website every month,
so people will find your designs
as they're searching for things,
and if they decide to purchase it,
they can select what color, what size,
and they can order the product directly through Amazon.
Now, the best part of print-on-demand
is that you don't have to lift a finger.
Once that order is placed, Amazon receives the order,
they print the exact shirt the customer ordered,
they ship it out to them,
and they deal with all of the returns, exchanges,
any customer service that comes after that.
This is a really good business model,
and I'll link a full tutorial down in the description
if you're interested in trying it out for yourself.
The second way to make money online
that I highly recommend is creating a YouTube channel.
Now, I know a lot of people don't consider doing this
because it seems like a lot of upfront work
and you have to physically be on camera.
However, if you are watching YouTube right now,
then you likely already have the equipment you need
to start a successful YouTube channel.
Most smartphones have really good cameras
and really good microphones built right into them.
That's all you need to start a successful YouTube channel.
If you can simply find something
that you are passionate about
or you know a lot of information about,
that could be your topic of your YouTube channel,
and then simply set a goal of creating 100 videos
that are about topics that you would find interesting.
When I was starting my YouTube channel,
I set a goal to create 50 videos in 50 days.
These specific videos
were filmed right on my smartphone as well.
That goes to show proof
that you can start a successful YouTube channel
just by recording videos on your smartphone.
Now, the third way that I highly recommend
to make money working from home
is to take part in Skillshare and Udemy.
Skillshare and Udemy are two separate websites
that are essentially marketplaces
that are laid out similarly to YouTube.
The way that they work is content creators
create long-form videos,
more in the format of a course,
and I would call this a much more professional
YouTube video, and then people pay to access those videos.
Now, this is not your traditional selling courses route
that you typically see courses sold for $1,000
this is a totally passive version of that
on a much cheaper scale.
Now, Udemy and Skillshare,
they both take care of all the pricing for you.
They set the price, they run sales,
they do all the marketing, and they get the traffic for you.
All you have to do is use your smartphone or computer
to put together a course about a certain topic
that you know a lot about.
Think of it as teaching someone how to do something
or teaching someone to understand a concept.
Now, as far as how long these courses should be,
think somewhere along 30 minutes up to an hour
or two hours long depending on how complex that topic is.
Now, once you have this video content recorded,
you can upload it directly to Skillshare
and you can upload it directly to Udemy.
From there, everything will be done for you
and you'll simply just receive your paycheck every month.
This is a really solid way
to start making income for yourself,
and the income starts almost immediately
once you upload those courses.
And that brings us right into number four,
this is creating a niche affiliate marketing website.
Now essentially, all this is is creating a website
for yourself.
There are website builders out there
that make this very easy,
and then writing blog posts on your website
about a certain topic or niche.
Now, the types of blog posts that you should be writing
on your website are educational reviews
and even news or trends that are going on in that topic
or niche.
Now, the way that this works
is once you write those articles
and you publish them onto your website,
Google automatically finds those articles
and puts them into Google search results.
Then when the billions of people that go to Google
every month search for something related to that topic,
your article will come up in the search results,
then they'll click on your article,
and now they're reading it on your website.
By having someone on your website
reading through your articles,
you can show them advertising space in your sidebar
or throughout your article.
This is similar to how the advertising works on YouTube
except it's over on your website.
It's very easy in a few clicks
to partner with an ad provider
that basically sells the advertising space
on your website for you.
Now, as a bonus here,
since you wrote the website about a topic or a niche,
this is where the affiliate part of this website comes in.
As you're writing those articles,
you can partner with other brands,
you can even partner with Amazon,
and they will give you a unique referral link
to the products that that company sells.
Now, what you can do is when you're writing an article,
if it mentions a product that solves a problem
that would be helpful to the reader
of that specific article,
you can mention that product
with your specific referral link.
Now, if that reader decides to click the link
and purchase the product,
that company or brand will send you a commission
for referring them a buyer.
So the more people that come to your website,
the more you will ultimately be paid,
both by the advertising space
and from the affiliate links throughout your article.
Now, a really important piece of advice
if you're going to start any of these businesses
is to do just one of them at a time.
You only have so much energy and focus
that you can spend on building a business
and making money for yourself,
and if you try to divide that
among multiple different businesses at the same time,
you're likely not going to see success.
Focus on just one at a time.
Build that up until it's successful and making money,
then you can move on to another one of these.
I personally started with print-on-demand
because it is free to get started
and very easy to start making money early on,
that's what I would recommend to you.
However, if one of these other ones seems like a better fit
and you're more passionate about,
go for one of them first.
I'll put a bunch of helpful links down in the description
that'll link you to helpful videos
if you're going to start any of these businesses.
Guys, I hope this video has been helpful.
If you have any questions, let me know down in the comments.
Otherwise, I will see you all in the next video.
