How to earn money online

Today I'm going to tell you about 3 major ways to earn money online.


1. Affiliate Marketing






What is affiliate marketing?


With the advent of technology, came new marketing trends that have gained popularity. Affiliate marketing is a relatively new form of marketing where businesses pay a commission on conversions through links provided by the brand.
Affiliates are freelancers who don’t own stock, they don’t have to deal with customer complaints or have a fixed number of customers to meet in order to get paid. Affiliates get paid every time a customer clicks on their link and buys a product or service that they advertised.

How does affiliate marketing work?


Unlike conventional marketing methods where there are many processes that you need to undergo before going public with your brand, here there are only 2 parties involved these are :

  • Affiliate - Affiliates are marketers who promote brand content on various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter which then ultimately drives potential customers to the product. Affiliates get paid in commission when their advertisement is turned into a sale.
  • Merchant - Merchants are the ones who own the brand, product, or platform an affiliate chooses to promote. Affiliates get paid the commission by the merchant.

What are the various affiliate marketing tools?


  • Social Media – Suggestive of the name, social media refers to various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, etc to market a product. This is one of the most popular tools that’s used by marketers these days.

  • PPC – If you’ve ever made a search online, you must’ve noticed the first 2-3 links that pop up, more often than not, a brand pays the search engine platform to buy that ad space. Every time you click on an advertisement that you see online, the advertiser pays for that click. This is a way for advertisers to advertise their products when someone organically searches for a product that’s relatable.

  • SEO – SEO or Search Engine Optimization refers to the practice of increasing both the quality and quantity of your product and increasing your website traffic to gain more customers through both paid and non-paid organic or inorganic search engine results.

  • Content Marketing – Content Marketing is focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant content that’s consistent to attract and retain a clearly defined audience who will then ultimately drive your customers towards making a purchase or a profitable customer action.

 How to find affiliate marketing campaigns?



There are many affiliate networks on the internet.







When talking about crypto majorly there are 2 ways to earn.

  1. Crypto Mining
  2. Crypto Trading

  • Crypto Mining

You can mine crypto with your pc or a miner. Read this for more details.


  • Crypto Trading

Cryptocurrency trading is the act of speculating on cryptocurrency price movements via a CFD trading account, or buying and selling the underlying coins via an exchange.

For trading, there are many trading platforms. For me I use Binance.





3. Freelancing






Freelancing means to work as an independent company rather than be employed by someone else. Freelancers are self-employed and often referred to as independent contractors.

Freelancers are hired by other companies on a part-time or short-term basis, but they do not receive the same compensation as full-time employees or have the same level of commitment to any particular company.

How much can I get paid to freelance?

According to that same 2019 study, the median freelance income is $20-28 per hour. Of course with so many different freelance jobs available, that number can vary quite a bit. Transcription services may only earn $5-10 per hour, while software engineering roles may earn $75 or even hundreds of dollars per hour. It’s best to compare the freelance rates of your particular skill set to get a good estimate of the expected income you could earn as a freelancer.

What type of work can I do by freelancing?

  • Admin Support Jobs
  • Design and Creative Jobs
  • Writing Jobs
  • Web, Mobile, and Software Development Jobs
  • Accounting and Consulting Jobs
  • Legal Jobs
  • Data Science and Analytics Jobs
  • Sales and Marketing Jobs
  • Customer Service Jobs
  • IT and Networking Jobs
  • Engineering and Architecture Jobs
  • Translation Jobs

How do I start freelancing?

You can start freelancing any time by simply accepting payment to complete a job for someone else.

Most freelancers will want to go a step further though and formally incorporate their company, open a bank account, and create an online presence for their freelance business.

A popular method for finding client work is through a freelance marketplace like 



















These marketplaces serve as the middleman by aggregating freelance jobs on one side of the marketplace and freelance talent on the other.

This can be really efficient for finding new work but come with their own tradeoffs.

Marketplaces like Upwork and Fiverr have a lot of competition, and it may be tough to build an initial profile or get paid what you’re worth. And they will keep a small percentage of each job as a transaction fee.

But over time, if you build a strong reputation, you can reliably find work without having to prospect too hard.

I really like FlexJobs and SolidGigs because they provide a smaller, more curated list of vetted freelance positions. There is less time spent with proposals and generally very high-quality work.
