1. Affiliate Marketing
You probably already know affiliate marketing, as it is one of the most "veteran" known moneymakers out there.In a nutshell, here's how it works:
You create a Web site or a blog or profile on social networks or a newsletter by email or other. Basically you can use any of these or a combination... but you want to get your marketing message out there.
You choose a hot-affiliated niche market – a market with many potential customers. Look at the trends and what's hot on sites like Amazon, for example.
You provide useful content and marketing messages for your prospects.
When you are promoting products, you do not sell yours. Instead, you become an affiliate and market the products of others. When your site's customers click on a link to buy it, they are redirected to your affiliate partner's website to complete the transaction. You get a commission for each sale completed. You don't have to worry about shipping or customer service!
Be sure to check out and join the best affiliate sites like Amazon.com and CJ affiliate to discover all the different products you could sell as an affiliate.
2. Sell on Amazon, EBay and Etsy
One of the fastest ways to start selling online is to take advantage of the power of "third-party" sites. E-commerce giants like Amazon, EBay and Etsy are powerful sales and marketing platforms with an integrated lead base. Millions of people are already visiting these sites to make purchases. And they are willing to buy – that's why they visited the site after all.
On these sites, they make it easy to set up your own "shop" where customers can browse your proposed products – no need to create your own site or anything. And you'll find an integrated search feature so that interested prospects will find your online showcase in particular.
In addition, you use their shopping cart. In short, you avoid much of the expense and hassle of creating an "independent" e-commerce website.
And, with Amazon, you can even have them fill out your orders. No problem, no muss. Amazon reports that there are more than two million vendors on their site, accounting for 40% of all sales. So you'll be in good company.
With EBay, the procedure is very similar. You just become an eBay seller. Stay in order and make sure that PayPal is checked. Then you can sign up for your store. Once again, you'll benefit from EBay's reputation, scope, and sales and marketing infrastructure to sell your own products. For more info also read these articles

All these sites, as well as other third party sites, are really a very easy way to start selling online even if you have to pay a fee to the supplier.
Some tips Pro: Use clear and high quality photos of your products; Keep your product descriptions detailed and specific: and look at what your competitors are charging to help you determine the prices.
3. Blogging
Yes, the good old blog continues to grow in 2018. By consistently providing quality content, you attract prospects with similar views that are interested in information and products related to your niche. They want to keep reading to learn more and buy.
These are people willing to buy the products you offer either through ads, affiliate links in blog posts, or whatever. What for? Because you have provided useful free content. They come to know, love, and trust you. And that's exactly what you want to read on your blog and see your marketing posts too.
But, most importantly, you make your website, your storefront online, very attractive to Google when you frequently and regularly add useful information in forms, videos, etc. This means that you appear higher in the search engine rankings (most people do not go beyond the first page). And that means that more people – potential buyers – are coming to your site.
One thing to keep in mind with a blog: Make sure you focus on a specific niche and respect it. This will facilitate the creation of content, the search and ranking of your site by search engines and the loyalty of your prospects.
4. Niche E-commerce
As an Internet entrepreneur, you work alone most likely. At least at the beginning. And that means you won't be in direct competition with the e-commerce titans like Amazon or the online retail outlets of major retailers like Walmart.
You don't have the start-up capital, storage space or logistical system needed to set up an online store with thousands of different products anyway.
That's why, as a solopreneur, one of the best ways to succeed is to reduce your concentration. In other words, you have to find your specific niche. This way you can focus your marketing, your Web content... all about it. You become an expert, you figure high in the rankings of search engines for this topic... It's win-win all around.
In the ideal world, this niche will match one of your personal interests so you can enjoy your expertise and do a job that you really like.
But the most important factor is that there is a market for products in this niche. For example, you could really be in the French poetry of the 16th century. But not most people.
So you need to understand the current trends and markets that are underway.
Weight loss products are always big. So are natural health remedies, supplements, herbs, etc. There are a lot of markets out there. Be sure to pay attention to news, social media feeds, newspaper and magazine articles, and the most-sold items on Amazon and EBay to determine which markets you could enter.
5. Your own YouTube Channel
The top "YouTubers" can make millions every year. Take PewDiePie who made over 15 million million last year by filming among other things. But you don't need millions of views to make money on YouTube.
Some ideas for valuable videos: How-tos, unboxing (where you open a product for your viewers), reviews, Travels, music, Comedy... the list goes on. There are so many niches that the millions of people who visit YouTube every day are in.
So how do you make money with YouTube?
Set up your YouTube channel this is where your videos are going to live.
Download videos regularly. Keep a calendar so you can build an audience. Be sure to describe the content specifically in the description of your video. Make sure that your videos are of good quality and that they contain good content that your audience will appreciate. This is not to say that you need a sophisticated camera – a smartphone will do it at the beginning.
Put the word on Twitter, Facebook, to your email marketing list, and beyond. You can even share videos on social media or embed them in your blog or website. You want to build these views. Be sure to respond to viewers ' comments. Stay engaged to create fans.
Monetize by allowing YouTube to include ads on your videos. When users click on an ad, you get paid (you share this with Google). The more views = more income for you. READ also this article how to make money on YouTube (without a million subscribers)
6. Sell e-books (Ebook)

They can be purchased online and then downloaded instantly to a computer, tablet or ebook reader. ebooks in almost every genre are selling in the millions every year. and e-books account for about 20% of all book sales in the United States.

7. Develop applications
Smartphones... everyone has one these days, whether it's IPhone or Android. What are people used for? It's all in the applications. Social media, games, useful tools, fun stuff.
You can get into the action. Of course you will not compete with Pandora and Pinterest. But you can find a niche idea that responds to a need that people have and create an application that meets that need. It could be a tip calculator, better photo storage, a list – with illustrations – of yoga postures, podcast downloaders and organizers... the list goes on.
You don't need to be a programmer. You are the person of the idea, and you hire people to create it. With the availability of programmers available for very low rates that you can rent on sites like Upwork, this is not a problem. Of course, the exact amount you will pay to your developers depends on the complexity of the application.
One thing. You need to create your application so that it works on both Android smartphones and Apple iphones. This way you maximize your clientele.
