With that said, let’s dig in and get started.

What Does A Real Way To Make Money Online Mean?

For many, you can’t imagine the number of ways that you can make money online.

But, the bottom line is, to make real money online, you will need the right process/website/tools and a payment processor of some type to get started.

What making real money online means is to offer a product or service that will result in a transaction that will produce a sale of a product or service that you get paid for.

There are several ways to earn real money online that range from creating your own products and selling them to selling other people’s products to earn money.

There are many legitimate ways to make money online, you just need to stay away from the scams.

If a program pays you for the sales that you make, then it is not a scam.

If a program does not pay you for your sales, then it is a scam.

Some people make the misconception that just by joining any program, it will pay you.

This is not the case, there are things that you are required to do as an affiliate for those products or services like selling them so that you get paid.

Selling online is different than selling over the phone or face to face.

Selling online requires websites and/or videos that do all of the selling for you.

I have included a list of the ways that I personally tested that are real ways to make money online below.

I will be sharing with you a breakdown from my least favorite way to my best favorite way to make money online.

They all work, it’s just a matter of my opinion and experience on the order that I have them listed.

My #1 way to make money online is best suited for almost everyone because everything is all set up for you including the training and the websites you would need to make a really great monthly income online with.

Top 10 Real Ways To Make Money Online (proven and tested)

Below I’ve included my top 10 proven and personally tested ways to make real money online starting from my least favorite way to make money online to my best and most current recommended way.

10. Using Smart Phone Apps To Make Money

Using Apps to make real money online is at the bottom of the list because it pays the least amount.

Many of the apps are fun to use and usually have some kind of useful function like counting your steps for fitness to playing games, but only pay out pennies.

What many people like about many of these apps is that some of them run in the background like the step counters and before you know it, you can earn $10 to $15 dollars in a couple of months that you can redeem for a gift card.

I don’t personally make money with apps myself anymore, however, I did have one of the step counting apps running for a few months and I did cash out a gift card for $20, so I know they do work.

Update: I just turned it back on, and I am using it again… (need to get into better shape)

9. Using Instagram To Make Money Online

I’ve had my Instagram account for a while now, and when it was very popular for marketers a few years ago, that is when it was helping to build me a list to earn some sales with.

Today, I noticed that I do still get leads through Instagram, it is not as powerful and easy as it was to make money with the methods that used to work.

Instagram used to be easy to build a following and easy to get people to see your posts so that they can check out your profile with your link, but Instagram made it much harder for the average person to get any traction and engagement with the current algorithm changes that they made.

You will have to spend a TON of time and focus on just building your Instagram account to earn any money.

However, if you are in a niche that many people normally visit Instagram for, like traveling and food there are still big money opportunities there.

Also, being creative with your images and video posts are a big advantage.

Some people with bigger followings use their profile to promote other profiles for a fee.

This would be another way to make money with Instagram.

I believe there is an opportunity for success in this platform, but it is not for me anymore.

8. Using Pinterest To Make Money Online

If you have a DIY or are in a niche that uses images to really highlight the products that you are selling, then Pinterest might be a great option for you.

Even those that are creative with there marketing and create images that would highlight a niche that is not so image-driven like blogging, or how-to guides on digital marketing can really drive some great traffic to their sales pages.

However, some of the most successful people that use Pinterest are the ones that market to people that are frequent Pinterest visitors which are people that are looking for ideas like:

• recipes
• make-up tips
• gardening tips
• weight loss ideas
• etc…

There are also people that use creative images to break into several niches to sell through their Amazon business affiliate links to make sales with Pinterest.

Some people that really utilize Pinterest in there marketing make $1,000’s per month and more.

I personally only use Pinterest to highlight my latest blog posts and to share any videos that I produce.

I do generate a decent amount of traffic from Pinterest when I do this but it is not mind-blowing.

But hey, everything adds up which is the point and the more you post, the more it will add up.

7. Using Existing Websites To Make Money Online

Using existing websites is a great way to make real money online.

The only disadvantage is that you don’t get any training or advice on how to promote these pre-existing websites that you can earn money with.

Here is a list of some existing website that you can make money online with:

• ClickBank
• WarriorPlus
• JVZoo
• ShareASale
• and many more…

You will have to learn how to market online before you can really take advantage of making money with this method in my opinion.

First, you will have to join any or all of these websites for free, then set up your profile and payment details, then you can choose one of the thousands of pre-existing products (mostly eBooks, and software except for ShareASale) in their marketplace to promote and make sales with.

This is a great way to make money online, but only after you get more marketing experience in generating targetted traffic.

Once you gain more experience, you can add some of these products from existing websites to make even more money from your existing marketing.

For example, if you are blogging in a weight loss niche, you can add a “how to lose belly fat” eBook from ClickBank to your blog with some banner ads.

People will click on your banner ad and some people will purchase the eBook that will result in a commission for you.

You can even have a free simple guide to give away to help build your list and then offer a related product that you can get paid for when someone buys a copy.

6. Using Facebook To Make Money Online

There are a few ways to make money on Facebook.

I have included these 3 things:

• Building a social following
• Building a Facebook business page to sell products
• Advertising on Facebook

Building a Social Following

Some of the people that are building a social following and really being active doing it are making a decent income online.

If you are very dedicated to this method and share your experience and success using the product/program/service that you are promoting can really increase your engagement with people.

The more engagement you have, the more people will see your posts, and by doing so, more people will tend to know you a little better.

People that get to know you better tend to trust what you have to say, and when you are recommending a product/service/program, people will be more interested in checking out what you have to offer.

When more people take a look at your offer from people that like and trust you, you will start to make sales that will result in making real money online for you.

Facebook Business Page

Others build out a Facebook business page, and by doing the same things that you do to promote yourself in the social following section, the same great results will start happening.

You can also tie in Facebook paid advertising to track down targetted people that would be interested in what you have to offer.

Advertising On Facebook

You can also make money on Facebook by joining their advertising portal.

When you can create ads to serve people that are interested in what you have to offer, the amount of people that you can show your ad to is immense.

You can literally get 100’s of people per minute to your website if you have the budget for it which leads me into the downside of Facebook ads.

If you don’t know what you are doing, and if you don’t understand how to niche down to find your target audience of people that would be interested in what you are offering, then you can really lose a TON of money just testing things out to try to figure the platform out.

There are many courses online to help you out in this aspect, and I would highly recommend you get your hands on some before even trying to advertise with Facebook.

However, if you can figure a lot of it out, there is a TON OF MONEY that you can make from the Facebook advertising platform because there are so many people on Facebook to advertise to.

5. Using PPC To Make Money Online

Using PPC advertising (pay-per-click) is one of the most known ways that people learn about the subject of how to make money online which is still very popular today.

The first thing that people will think of is Google PPC, but there are also other platforms that offer this same style of PPC advertising.

Some of the other platforms include:

• Bing
• Facebook
• DuckDuckGo
• and more…

The concept is all the same which includes creating a relevant webpage, then creating a compelling ad, adding the targetted keywords, and sending the clicks produced by your ads to your webpage.

Your webpage is what is doing the selling for you, so hopefully, your target audience and your website sales message copy and call to action produce enough sales to get you a positive ROI (return on investment).

People that are good at using PPC make a ton of real money online.

In many cases like using Bing, you don’t even need to use your own website, the ad platform lets you use your affiliate website which I wouldn’t recommend since what you will want to do is build a list so that you can follow-up with people to earn more sales.

The Bing platform is a good PPC platform to start with to get your feet wet, If you are going to start somewhere, this is a great platform to start with.

4. Using Youtube To Earn Money Online

Youtube is another great way to make real money online.

There are a few ways that you can utilize Youtube to earn money which are:

• Publishing videos and get them viewed to drive traffic to your offers
• Build a following by publishing more videos that get a ton of views and earn from Adsense revenue from Google.
• Publish live videos and earn from live donations

The way that I use Youtube is by publishing videos that target certain keywords for offers that relate to the videos that I create.

This way I know that the viewers are interested in what I have to offer which will increase my opt-in rate and will increase my sales.

This is one of those platforms where you can create content that can produce targetted traffic for you for years unless Youtube suspends your video or account.

Youtube is one of the best ways right now to generate targetted and the most engaged traffic that can make you sales.

If you are not using Youtube as part of your marketing strategy right now, then you are leaving a TON of money on the table!

3. Using Email Marketing To Make Money Online

Email Marketing to make real money online is one of the most effective ways to make a sustainable recurring income online.

You can either pay for what is called “Solo Ads” that are basically “other people’s email list” so that you can get an email sent to other peoples list to get a certain amount of clicks to your link that you pay for.

The link that you want to provide is a link to a capture page that will collect emails.

When you find some great solo ad providers that will provide you with a targetted list in the offer that you are promoting, you can make a ton of money by using this method.

In turn, you are building your own list so that you can follow-up with to present the same offer and other related offers so that you can earn passive and even more money online.

The trick to getting a higher sales ratio with your email list is to take care of your subscribers by mixing in value in the form of video tutorials from you, and free training or guides on the niche that you are promoting along with promotional emails.

2. Blogging To Earn Money Online

One of the biggest foundational methods that I preach about is to create a blogging website that covers topics and reviews on the niche that you are wanting to make money in.

This is another method of making real money online that will create long-term traffic from one piece of content just like making money with Youtube.

This beats out Youtube in my opinion (for a long-term strategy) because you actually own your website and content, unlike Youtube where for whatever reason, they can take down your video and channel at any time (which happened to me many times in the past).

Youtube is better now, but still, you need to be careful with what you promote and what you say in your videos.

The downside to blogging is that it takes a TON of time to get your blog established in Google so that Google will see it as an authority site.

When your blog becomes an authority site, it will result in much better rankings.

However, if you have the patience and don’t mind writing a ton of content, then this method really can stand out among the rest for the methods of building a long-term and sustainable online money-making business for you.

I use my blogs to earn real money online by adding ads that drive my visitors to capture pages to build my list where I promote offers and value.

I also ass Adsense ads to earn Adsense revenue from Google and other places to some of my blogs.

Another way I use my blogs is to establish myself as an authority in my niche that will establish a trust that will, in turn, result in a higher opt-in percentage and more sales.

If you are not blogging, then I would say that you are leaving a ton of money on the table just as if you are not using Youtube in your marketing strategy.

1. My #1 Real Way To Make Money Online (Become an Affiliate Reseller)

What an online reseller affiliate means is that you can gain access to an existing product or service that someone else created and maintains and sell it at the full retail cost to earn the full value of the product/service minus any admin fees.

There are both online options and offline options to become a reseller affiliate for existing products and services.

I personally go with the online option, because the sales process is completely automated.

This is also “by far” the fastest and easiest ways to start to generate a real income online.

When I say a “real income”, what I mean is that you can earn a realistic $1000 and more per week due to the higher commission level that these programs offer.

The only drawback or con that someone would have is that you will have to pay a one-time fee to be able to “resell” the product or service which in my point of view is not a big deal.

Pros

You are purchasing a reseller product or service that someone else created where the program owner maintains the product or service to the point of you not having to worry about customer support or any of the technical stuff.

It doesn’t take many sales to earn an extra $2,000 plus per month with these types of reseller programs.

Another pro to this online business model is that it also gives you the ability to receive your commissions directly to your bank account without having to go through a middle-man.

For those that are worried about training and how to get started to where it works (making money) for you, that is also included with my recommended solution below.

And the main pro is that everything, including support and maintenance, is set-up for you! (I guess I already covered that)

Cons

The only con that I found with these programs for people is that it requires a 1-time cost to become a reseller.

But as I mentioned above, when everything was created for you, including support for your customers, then I don’t see that as a con.

I see the cost to become a reseller for what it is. A business-in-a-box solution.

This is why I have this option as my #1 way to make real money online.

How Do I start Blogging?

Blogging has never been easier to start. Here is how to get started blogging today.

1. Choose A Strategic Niche

Niches like parenting, video games, movies, and sports are very hard to monetize. After all, we are here to make money online, not waste it.

From my experience, the most profitable niches are business, finance, education, and product reviews. Why? These niches are popular, large, and wildly profitable thanks to advertising, sponsored posts, and affiliate marketing.

2. Launch Your Blog

6. Write 2 – 3 Detailed Blog Posts

To showcase your writing, you need to write two to three kick ass blog posts, that help readers make decisions and learn something new.

The first thing you need to do is share your articles on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, & Linkedin. As a blogger, social media is a quick and cheap way to reach a new audience, and to start building up a loyal following.

Remember, starting a blog requires a long-term mindset. Next, compile a list of 10 – 20 blogs that are in your niche. Reach out to the owners of these blogs and ask to write an article or two on their blog.

In the blogging world, this is known as ‘guest posting,’ which is key to growing your blog. The more back links you have pointing to your website the better.

This sends signals to Google that you are a subject matter expert and an authority in your selected niche.

5. Open a High-Yield Savings Account

An online savings account pays nearly 20x more than an average savings account. In fact, the best high yield saving accounts yield anywhere from 1.70% – 2.10%.

Our favorite high yield saving account is through CIT Bank. This award winning high yield saving account will allow you to earn passive income monthly.

This is a low-risk and easy money move to make. What is better? Once you open your account you are done. There is no more work on your end, just sit back and watch your savings grow year after year.

6. Tap into Real Estate Crowdfunding

For years, real estate has been a sure shot way to earn passive income, increase you net-worth, and become financially free.

However, most people are afraid of this strategy and often believe you need a substantial amount of money to get started.

Fortunately, there is a new way to invest in real estate. Real Estate crowdfunding allows you to invest in certain properties with others. You no longer need to own an entire property.

Platforms like Fundrise or Realty Mogul carefully select properties on your behalf. You can invest in single family homes, apartments, or pre-built construction projects.

This is a great way to diversify your income stream, make money online, and requires little to no work on your end.

Luckily, there are a myriad of online tools and applications to make this straightforward and simple.

8. Create an Online Course

Are you a subject matter expert? Do you have a deep desire to inspire and educate others? If so, then creating an online course is the perfect fit for you.

Though creating an online course requires a significant time commitment, the potential to earn hundreds of thousands is there. In fact, there are some individuals who make millions from selling, producing, and successfully marketing their online courses.

According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc, the online education industry is on a path to exceed $241 billion by 2022. Fortunately – for you – this is an opportune time to launch and scale an online course.

Best Platforms to Sell an Online Course to Make Money

As a relatively new platform, Thinkific is carving out a name for themselves amongst online course creators. This platform touts 40,000+ course creators, 30+ million online courses taken, and has paid out over $200 million to its instructors.

Why we like thinkific:

• Complete customization of your course site
• Robust technological infrastructure to support your students
• Easy-to-use platform keeping you engaged and focused

Creating a course certainly requires upfront effort, but the earning potential is there. Furthermore, creating an online course requires you to engage with your audience and actively market yourself.

However, countless individuals everyday take a leap of faith and create an online course that drastically changes their financial situation for the better.
