today. Now, before I start, I need to be clear. These are not jobs per se. These

ways that you can be successful by sharing services or doing freelance work
and even setting up some passive income options. If you're new to this channel,

seven different ways to make money from home.
It is estimated that there are over 4 billion users on the internet right now.
Many people are in their homes right now wondering about alternative ways to make
money. So I decided to talk about projects that give you a good amount of
money, not just a few bucks or a little bit to pay a few extra bills, but things
that you can actually make a real living with. You've got all this kind of cheap
stuff and I talk about this stuff too cause everybody has different goals, but
those are things like taking surveys, selling your old clothes on eBay. This
video though, we're talking about projects that can range from $20 an
hour to start the possibly even $10,000 a month or more. Please listen
carefully. I'm going to be covering a number of different business models
here. Make sure you watch the whole video. There is something here for
everyone. First on the list we have proofreading and with the explosion of
content published on the internet, I'm talking billions of webpages between
social media, blogs, other types of websites and even videos and
transcriptions. There is a high demand for proofreading and editing content
before it goes live on the web. So if you're the type of person that spots
every typo and grammar mistake in any article that you read, you might
consider a business in proofreading. This is a freelance opportunity. It
needs no certification and you can use your Eagle eyes to make really
surprisingly good money. This is a great option to get started with because
you're not having to come up with any content for the articles and it's
really, really diverse. You can proofread not only articles and blogs
but things like restaurant menus, student essays, court transcripts, user
manuals, even novels from professional writers, and the average rate is around
$20 per hour on sites such as proofreading services.com and number two
on the list of ways to earn good money from home is writing content and if you
love writing and you want to earn way more than just proofreading other
people's content, then why not create your own content or freelance
to write content for other companies? There are plenty of companies now that
have their own blogs or their own newsletters or email marketing and so
forth and you can be the person writing that content for them. Usually a piece
of published content is around a thousand words and you're actually paid
per word or sometimes per a hundred words or per thousand words and
typically the range is around 30 to $70 per thousand words depending on your
expertise, your experience and your credentials. To get started, you just
join a site like freelancer.com and you start bidding on projects and you can
also post this type of service for hire on fiverr.com that's Fiverr with two R's
or upwork.com and the third option is to actually create your own blog. So if you
wanted to make writing content your full time gig and earn passive income as
well, which I'm a huge fan of, you can start your own blog. A blog is just a
website that gives valuable information about a certain topic or what we call on
the internet a niche, and there are millions of niches and the topics to
write about in all these different niches are endless and you don't even
have to be the best blog out there. I take it from me as a, as a content
creator, being perfect is not the goal. Just be yourself. There's always going
to be a group of people that like the way
that you present information better than someone else, and you can create really
dense informational blog articles, hopefully on topics that you're actually
interested in. Help answer people's questions and then you can monetize that
content, the different articles in many different ways. A few of those ways are
through affiliate links, paid partnerships, and even hosting banner
ads of other advertisers on your log. And you can make anywhere from a few
hundred dollars a month kind of, I would consider entry level blog marketing up
to literally $1 million a year with a really successful blog if you take it
seriously. And another great thing about blogging is that you're building a
sellable asset because blog content tends to get indexed by the search
engines, which means it starts to generate predictable traffic back to the
same articles over and over. People are willing to pay because they can forecast
the traffic and the revenue to that website. And a quality blog will
generally sell for around 30 times its monthly revenue. So if you have a blog
that's making, let's say around 13 $1,400 per month, then you have roughly
a $40,000 asset. And number four on the list is social media marketing with
almost 3 billion people hear that number 3 billion with a B people per month
checking social media platforms, most of them daily. It's no surprise that
businesses are looking for social media managers. It's pretty much the biggest
way in human history to get in front of people.
But most business owners do not have the time to make consistent updates to their
social media profiles or to respond promptly to customer requests that come
in through social media. And frankly, most businesses don't really know what
to do with social media and that's where you come into the picture. You can earn
around 20 to $100 per hour. As a competent social media manager, I know I
pay people to help me manage my social media and a solid approach is to market
yourself as a specialist on just one platform. For example, let's Tay. Let's
say Instagram. Instagram has its own style. The each platform tends to have
its own style, its idiom, you might say an Instagram's all about really pretty
images and storytelling through clever branding. Basically, Instagram is like a
first impression platform. It's very visual, it's very glossy. So first of
all, to get started, if you want to go out and sell your service of marketing,
Instagram or or managing Instagram for businesses, make sure your own Instagram
profile looks really good. I consider it like a work of art and don't just
consider each post, but consider the totality, what I called the mosaic,
where when you see your posts kind of all stacked up, what's the visual
aesthetic of your posts all clustered together on the screen? You have to
really understand how whatever platform you're going to focus on works and
obviously with Instagram it's very visual. It's
not so much engagement, it's not so much or it's a certain type of engagement.
It's not like these long drawn out conversations with these extensive
message message threads back and forth like Facebook. Again, Instagram is
mostly about the visual aesthetic and kind of the immediate consumer reaction
and it's not rocket science. You just have to have basic online marketing
skills and sort of develop your eye to understand what's really happening in
the exchange on each individual platform. But one of the biggest things
I see and as somebody again who's hired social media managers is you have people
walking around town saying their social media managers, but when you ask them
basic questions, they don't understand the differences between the platforms
and they have really no clue how the algorithm works inside of each platform
to basically predict how much exposure content is going to get and how to
manage the content in such a way that it leverages the algorithm to get the most
exposure. The bottom line is if you're going to market services on a social
media platform, you have to know your stuff and this video is in a place for
me to teach you that for each platform, but there's plenty of videos out there
that will teach you. This is just to tell you the opportunity exists and
suggest that you pick a platform, you become proficient at it, you get your
own act together in regards to that platform
and then you can start reaching out to businesses who need social media
managers and use your own profile frankly as all the resume that you need
to get the work. That's the nice thing about it is you understand the platform.
You just get it in shape for yourself and now you can go out. You don't have
to have this extensive history of other others that you served. If your profile
looks really good, a lot of times that's all you need. Check out the business
profiles in your area. If it's Facebook, look at the Facebook pages. If it's
Instagram, look at the Instagram business profiles and so forth. If it's
YouTube, looking at the channels and see if they could use your help with better
branding, better storytelling, or getting more engagement from their
viewers or from consumers. And a lot of companies will actually put you on a
monthly retainer for you to manage their profiles. That's one of the reasons I
love digital services. It's one of the reasons I had a digital agency for six
years. We had over a quarter million dollars a month of basically
subscription income people that had us on retainer to manage some aspect of
their digital marketing. This is an extremely lucrative skill to have, and
with just a few clients a month, you can easily get up to six figures a year.
This is a very, very powerful way to work from home. And also, many
businesses
don't just need better visuals, need the actual response of customer, of
generating customer leads. So they don't just need engagement, they don't just
need people leaving comments, they don't just need people liking their posts,
they need actual leads for their business. So if you effectively learn
how to deploy paid advertising on these platforms, for example, geo-targeted,
Facebook lead ads, like for let's say a plumber or a roofer or an attorney, then
you can easily scale this social media management into a multi-service agency
where you're doing social media management and you're also doing social
media lead generation. You're managing paid ads. You're not only getting paid
retainer fees, you're even getting paid a percentage of the ad spend. Once
you've trained yourself and you become confident in your skills, you can start
reaching out to bigger companies and literally build a full career or even a
full big business. I had my agency had almost 50 employees at one point just
off of a few big clients. Very, very powerful. Moving onto number five way to
make money from home on the internet. It's graphic design. There are tons of
businesses that need logos, business cards, they need Facebook banners, other
banners for other types of advertising. They need cover art for their Facebook
pages. They need cover art for their YouTube channels. Just anything you can
think of. They need product design, so if they're showing like a certain
product they need like a mockup
to show on their website. So many different things that need to be
designed. If you enjoy playing around with visuals and you're willing to learn
software such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe illustrator and graphic design
could definitely be for you if you want to make really good money with graphic
design, I'll tell you this, the highest paid graphic designers combine multiple
skills into their design, so they aren't just good at the imagery. Having
knowledge of branding, sales, direct response, marketing, powerful words and
copywriting allows some graphic designers to charge well over a hundred
dollars per hour. In fact, I can tell you that the graphic designer that I use
for entre my education company, we pay him well over 10 times the average for
freelance graphic design services because he's good at copy, he's good at
design, he understands direct response. He understands how to design sales
funnels, he knows how to design landing pages. He understands the marketing as
well as the design. He understands the marketing as well as I do, but he
understands the design a million times better than I do and by hiring him it
means I don't have to have a marketing guy and a design guy and try to get them
to work together and lose the time. I just have one brain that can do it all,
which is why he's able to charge me 10 times what most designers would and I'm
happy to pay it. Getting really good at these
skills, especially when you get the multiple facets of marketing and design
is extremely lucrative, but even with just design, just basic design skills,
you can easily land a client on Fiverr for around 25 to $40 per hour to start.
You can scale it into a whole business and then you basically get to sit there
and say, how many clients do I want to take on and what rates do I want to set
per project? Very, very powerful. The sixth thing that you can do to earn good
money from home is creating an eCommerce store or allowing Amazon to power your
eCommerce store, basically through what's called their FBA program or
fulfillment by Amazon. Basically, this means setting up a store to sell
physical products online and you don't need to be creative. You don't have to
create a product, you don't have to stock a product, you don't have to
invent a product. You can find many ready to go products. You can buy them
directly from the manufacturer or wholesaler. You sell them online through
sites like Amazon or through systems like Shopify and in many cases they'll
just do what's called drop shipping and ship the project, the product for you so
you don't have to take possession of the product at any point. Anyone can do this
and there are tons of plugins, especially in the Shopify ecosystem that
will automate a lot of the process. In fact, e-commerce can become eventually
completely passive. I'll say this, I own an eCom store. It's not my main
business, but is by far my easiest business. It does about a quarter
million dollars a year in sales at about a 50% profit margin. So I make over a
hundred grand a year from this store. Most of the time I forget to log into it
because it's completely automated. I have one person that helps me run it and
they live in another city and the only time I really remember to check it is
when I take money out of it and I have to send some money to her. It's other
than that, it's completely automated, like literally six figure income with
that. I probably check twice a year. That's, and that one's built through
Shopify, but you also have Amazon, I'm sure you've heard of Amazon. Amazon is
the largest eCommerce platform on the planet, one of the largest companies in
the history of the world and it's only getting bigger, but a lot of people
don't realize that 70% of the product sold on Amazon are actually sold by
independent sellers and in fact there are over 100,000 people or independent
sellers doing over a million dollars a year in sales on Amazon. And it's done
through, like I said, the FBA program, fulfillment by Amazon, where they handle
all the warehousing and shipping for you. You can even have the manufacturer
ship the products directly to Amazon where they warehouse and store it, and
then fulfill the orders as they
come in and ship it to the customer so you never have to physically touch the
items. Now, once you've had experience with choosing which products sell well,
you can actually leverage that into starting your own product brands or
what's called a white label, where you basically take existing products and you
get to slap a brand on it, your brand, and build your own brand, which by the
way, you'll probably want to hire a designer for that, like I mentioned. And
in that case, not only are you creating a personal brand, which is a more
scalable business and higher value business, but you also tend to get
higher profit margins because you can set premium pricing when it's not just
an anonymous, faceless brand, but it's a brand that people feel like they can
connect to. There's actually what's called a secondary market for these
stores. Whether you're talking about an eCommerce store on the Shopify platform
or an Amazon store, you can actually go sell these stores. Your brand could be
sold for over six figures and then you can use that to leverage into any other
type of business. In fact, a lot of people that I know that run multiple
eight figure companies started out with a small eCommerce store, they were able
to sell it and you know they run it for a year or two, get a consistent history,
sell it on sites like empire flippers.com for example, get a multiple
of
their monthly revenue and then parlay that into a bigger business. And the
final thing on the list for ways to earn money from home is to become a
freelancer. And so far I have covered very specific opportunities that you can
do to work from home. But if none of these are what you are looking for, then
this may be the option for you. I mentioned Fiverr with two R's earlier in
this video and I want to come back to it. It is the place to be for
freelancing work and the projects you can do on there. The services that you
can sell are so diverse. It's almost hilarious. Like ask a kid to come up
with anything and be like, Oh, there's probably somebody paying for that on
fiber. I'm talking to anything from astrology, readings, astrology readings.
You can sell that as a service on Fiverr. Voiceovers, project management.
Let's say you're really organized and you're like, Hey, trying to do
something. I'll help you organize it. You can sell that as a service on
Fiverr. Fitness lessons, promoting music, translating. If you speak
multiple languages, you know, advertising, real estate for sale arts
and crafts, making necklaces, making jewelry, cooking, copywriting, coding,
writing, computer code, even reviewing other people's computer code or or going
through their software or beta testing apps. Like anything you can think of and
if you're new on Fiverr, you don't have experience. You just set your rate
lower,
you start getting jobs, you gain experience, you get reviews, and then
you can raise your prices and if you want to use your professional skills at
home as a freelancer, then you can sign up for Upwork, which connects
professionals with agencies. So specifically things like administrative
support, customer service, analytics, generating reports, writing design,
accounting, marketing. Upwork is a great platform. I personally use multiple
professionals on Upwork. In fact, my agency that I mentioned, which I sold a
couple of years ago, we had like four different service providers that we not
only hired through Upwork, but that we manage and paid directly through Upwork.
It is a great platform that can offer really good income, very PR,
professional relationships. It's fast and it's easy, so that covers the full
gamut. I wish you well with whatever home project you decide to choose. We
covered proofreading content, writing, blogging, social media, marketing,
social media, paid lead generation, graphic design, e-commerce on Shopify
and Amazon, FBA and freelancing through Fiverr and Upwork. Tons of different
options. Like I said, if you'd like further information about this whole
world of digital marketing or digital services to generate home-based income
websites, blogging, e-com agency, even creating courses, then let me encourage

videos, got involved, got trained, and have set up full blown six figure
businesses. If you want to learn more ways to earn money, more ways to build
