You know money USN't the key to happiness, , but it dozen't hurt , Hey everybody, this is Roberto Blake , of Roberto Blake.com, helping you create , something awesome today , Having a little bit of extra money , and being able to monetize your personal brand , or things online is amazing and it can actually , relieve a lot of anxiety and stress , I know it's made a significant difference in my life, , so today I wanna tell you W ways to make money online , If you'vie watched my content before, , you know that my preference is to usually focus , on things that I'vie actually done , and have experience with, and in this case , that's gonna also be true , I'm gonna be focusing on W ways , that I'vie either made money online, , or services that I'vie paid for from other people , So it's literally how I helped other people , make money online because I hired them , So we're gonna go ahead and jump into my top W , ways to make money online , This will be a mix of both passive , and active income activities, so if you're more , interested in ways to make passive income online, , I have a couple of videos about that, , I will link to them in the description down below, , and also in the info card wherever that is, , I have no idea, but let's go ahead , and jump into the first way that I want to help , you make money online , One of the first ways I ever learned to make money , online was when I was much younger , and I was focused more on digital art and graphic design, , and it was with on print on demand products , Print on demand products are pretty straightforward , It's things like posters and mugs and tote bags , and things like that, that you can put , either characters or artwork or graphics on, , typography, those kind of things , And as somebody who had a background in Photo shop , and digital illustration and Adobe, , that was a lot of my focus at the time, , and I actually was able to make some decent money doing that , with sites like Deviant Art and Dazzle and Cafe Press , So these are websites that let you make these , print on demand products, they cost you nothing upfront, , and you make what's called royalties , Royalties are a form of passive income, , and again, once you'vie done the initial work, , you continue to reap the benefits long after that , So making products in as many of these digital , websites as possible is actually really lucrative , In fact, most You Tubers, myself included, , still do that with merchandise , I do that with my create awesome , and always be creating t-shirts, and my other March , So that's definitely a route you can go , For that I use Spread shirt.com and that is a place , where you could actually do that if you are an , online content creator or a digital artist , So it's definitely one I'd recommend , Another option is Tee spring, and even Amazon , has something called Amazon March , So again, these are all places , where you can sell things in terms of print on demand , products online, and it's just one of the ways , you can make money if you happen to have that skill set , As you guys know, I'm a creative entrepreneur, , so a lot of these are gonna focus around creative skills, , but not all of them will , But this next one does too, and it's selling stock , artwork and photography , One of the things that I do constantly for this , YouTube channel is I wanna improve the visual branding , and the aesthetics, and what that means is , sometimes I have to get stock photography , or even stop motion graphics or stock audio , So there's a great opportunity if you are a musician, , an illustrator, a designer, a photographer, , to make money from marketers and content creators , who just need more assets for their brand , And so you can sell on places like Adobe Stock, , Can Stock Photo, stock Photo, or the Enervate Marketplace, , or Creative Market , These are all great websites that will let you , sell stock resources to people who need them, , people like me , And so this is one of the ways that you can make , money online , I used to do some of this , I don't do it as much now, as I just spend money on it , and put money in other people's pockets , Actually I have a great success story , that I wanna tell at some point about someone , in this community who in four months , did like $W,W by selling resources , and stock templates in the Enervate Marketplace , I will save that story for later though , Maybe you're not a creative type like me , That's okay, tip number three is for you then , One of the ways you can make money online , is by being a virtual assistant , By being a virtual assistant, you don't necessarily , have to be a great photographer or a great illustrator , or artist, you could actually be doing some data entry , You could be doing copy writing, you could be doing , any number of tasks , You could be doing social media, you could be doing , productivity, there are so many things , that we hire virtual assistants to do , It could be literally managing someone's inbox , for them, I know that's something that causes , me stress and anxiety , It could be taking appointments, it could be scheduling , people for podcast interviews , There are so many opportunities in sites like Up work , for example, to be a virtual assistant , and to just take on some of those tasks , that a business or an entrepreneur might need , So I would look into that and see what skills you have , that might be in demand , I know that a lot of people don't feel , that the rates in these freelance sites are that great, , but if you're needing a few extra bucks , or you're not making any money right now, , I don't see the harm , It's something that I go to, to hire out for, , so I use Up work for that, and I think that for , non-creative, skilled task that there's actually , a really great opportunity there , For creative skills, often I usually hire people , directly as freelancers, but when I need something , that's not necessarily that complicated or technical, , then I'll go to a place like Up work and I'll hire , somebody to do virtual work for me remotely, , and it works out pretty good , So if you're somebody who has the skills , that might be more technical, or might be , something that's not that involved, , then maybe this is a good place for you , Tip number four is something that just about , anybody can do, probably at any age, , and that is sell Amazon and eBay stuff , If you go to Amazon and eBay, , you can sell used products , If there's something that you arena't using, , it's gathering dust on your bookshelf, , you have some old camera equipment , that you upgraded from, you can just sell it , on eBay or Amazon and you can make a few bucks , If you have a hobby that you quit, , you quit Magic the Gathering, you quit You-GI-Oh, , you quit Pokemon, guess what? , You can sell that stuff to people who are still , in the game, and you can make a few bucks , I did this even throughout high school and college, , and on occasion, whenever I'm doing spring cleaning, , it's something I still do , So I would just take a look at selling stuff online , with eBay or Amazon, even Grisliest if that's your thing, , just do it in a public place , Don't go to people's houses or anything , And I think that that's actually a good way , for you guys to be able to make some money , and requires no technical skill at all, , it just means you have to be willing to get rid , of stuff that you don't wanna use anymore , The next tip is using the YouTube partner program , Being a You Tuber is awesome, and there is an , opportunity for you to make some money online with this, , usually in the form of passive income , through YouTube ad revenue, but if you don't have , YouTube ad revenue enabled yet, , because it does take having at least W,W views , on your channel to do that, and your content , has to be advertiser friendly, , then you can make money off of YouTube Red, , which is basically a pool structure from their , subscription model, where based on watch time, , all of us get at least a little something , So you can make some money there , Also, if you have at least 1,W subscribers, , if you do live streaming, you can enable , what's called YouTube Super Chat, , and through that people can donate money to you , in any amount that they want, , and so there's an opportunity there , I actually do pretty okay whenever I do a live stream, , as far as Super Chats, and so it is , a lucrative opportunity , Not everybody gets rich being a You Tuber, , not everyone makes a living being a You Tuber , I make enough money off of YouTube directly , where I guess I could have a comfortable living , I prefer to build actual businesses, , that's just me though, and I like diversity , of revenue, I like diversity in a lot of things , I just feel less anxiety that way , So there's at least three ways for you to directly , make money from YouTube itself, , and obviously you can monetize with other things , So let me give you another way to make money online , that is kind of specific to YouTube, , but this'll work if you're a pod caster , or if you're on Instagram or Snap chat as well, , and that's take online sponsor ships , Online sponsor ships mean you have to have a little bit , of a following in a content or social media platform, , like YouTube, or host a podcast, or a popular blog, , or have a significant following in Instagram , or Snap chat, some platform where you are an , influence will allow you to be able to get , sponsorship opportunities with brands , that want to reach your audience, , and you can make a really decent living on sponsor ships , A lot of You Tubers and Instagram influence rs , and Snap chat influence rs make their majority , of their money in this way , One of the things I recommend you do , if you want to make money as an influence , is one, know your numbers cold, , know what to ask for, and maybe put together , a media kit of some kind , If you want more advice on this, , let me know your questions about influence marketing , in the comments section, and how to become , an influence, and how to work with sponsors , I'vie also done a couple of other videos on the channel , specifically about that if you are interested , If you're not an influence, but you are an expert, , there are plenty of ways for you to make money online, , especially if you're a practitioner of something , that is technical in nature or very difficult, , say social media or marketing, , or maybe something in the computer sciences field , There are a lot of things , It could be anything, even helping with personal development , or health, or fitness, those kind of things do very well , in a lot of areas , Obviously you can write books and you can sell , books online, especially through Amazon and Kindle, , and books , This is a very lucrative opportunity , Andy Weir who wrote The Martian had to go directly , to online Kindle publishing because he was , turned down by publishers who said no one , would buy the book , And apparently people wanted to buy the book, , in fact so many people that Mira max then decided , to buy the movie rights , So you know, you never know what happens there , You can go direct to market and the people will decide, , the market will decide , The gatekeepers don't really have the power anymore , So I would recommend you do that, , there's also the opportunity to publish audio books , directly to Amazon as well, and that's another , lucrative way to make money online , In fact, I think technically you can charge more , and get better margins on the audio book , than on both the print and the book , So just kind of keep in mind that audio books , are performing better than ever , In fact, a lot of my favorite books , for building online businesses or taking care , of finances or marketing, most of those are audio books , and I'll recommend a few of them , that might actually help you down in the description below , if you wanna check that out , I'll also link up to an offer for Audible, , where you can get two free books, , or sorry, two free audio books, , because audio books are what I listen to , when I'm traveling, and I just find that , that's more practical for my time , than reading the book most of the time, , or the physical book , So maybe that interests you , One of the books that I'm definitely gonna recommend , you listen to is Crush It by Gary Anarchic , and I'm also gonna recommend Awaken the Giant Within , by Tony Robbins, these are probably just two , of my favorite books and they're the kind of thing , that motivates me to, well, work harder , than I'vie ever worked , If you're an expert in something or a practitioner, , another opportunity for you to make money online , is through paid membership groups , This is something that has been very beneficial , for me on multiple levels, and you can do this , in a lot of different ways , I talked about specifically how to do paid membership , groups in a previous video, you'll definitely wanna , check that out, I'll link it up in an info card , and in the description down below, , but what I used to build my membership group , is a website platform called Jacobi, , that is one of the more expensive ones, , but I like it for the features, , I like it for the ease of use, , I like it for the speed, but there are other options , out there like Teachable and Thankful , if you need something that is free , You could also use any of these platforms , to develop online courses around the thing , that you're an expert in , I really think that fitness entrepreneurs , have a really great opportunity , when it comes to developing both membership groups , and online courses, and it's definitely something , that I think more people should explore , I think it could be great for a lot of different people, , I think that even people who are experts in coding , and web development and app development , could help teach a whole new group of people , if they actually pursued doing it in this way, , and I think it's a great alternative , for people who may not be able to afford , to go get this information in college , or don't have the patience to hunt through , a million YouTube videos , I think that these things are very practical, , and I'vie seen that people are willing to pay for them , They're things that even I have paid for in the past , So that's just something that I would recommend , you look at as another way of making money online , if you have something that you're a practitioner in, , or that you feel that you have a level of expertise in , One of the last things I'll talk about for , the experts out there is, ultimately, , you should look at consulting and online training , I think you should look at doing potentially , free and paid webinars, and try and use those things, , grow your email list, obviously , But I also think paid one-on-one consulting , could be very lucrative for you , Many of you may not realize this, , but paid one-on-one coaching consulting , is actually one of the biggest, ultimate parts , of my revenue stream in my online business ventures , It's probably the thing that I think, , more or less consistently every month, , probably makes me more revenue than anything else, , whether it's YouTube advertising, , whether it's sponsor deals, in terms of a single source , of revenue, I think it outperforms everything , However, it is a harder thing to be successful at, , because you actually have to be able to prove , your results, your body of work, , have great recommendations, have a strong brand behind you, , and you have to know how to price the things , that you're doing appropriately , You also have to be able to put together , the right presentation materials, , you have to have a system, and there's a lot of , cost intimately in terms of what it takes to keep , that business up and running , There are a lot of online services , and things you have to do, there's accounting, , there's invoicing, so it's not necessarily for everybody , and it may not be practical for the far majority of you, , but I thought it was important to highlight it , because it is an active income stream , that is service based, that is very challenging for some, , but very lucrative, and it could be , the thing that is best suited to some of you out there, , that will make you the most money , So, just putting it out there , Another great opportunity, especially for those of you , who work from home is to do online copy writing , for publications, and also for what are called , content mills , Essentially these are websites where you do ghost writing , and that one's not nearly as lucrative sometimes, , but again, if you're looking for some extra money, , it's better than zero, and if you get the opportunity , to write for publications that you like , and that you enjoy that fit a niche or a thing , that you're good at, then it's actually really good , I have had this kind of relationship , with a few great publications, and it's done very well , for me, and it's also helped me with exposure , for my own personal brand, so I think it has , multiple benefits to it , I don't necessarily know that all of you could , make a living at it, but if your passion is writing, , I'm sure you could find a way to do it, , and I think beyond writing for other platforms, , I think that blogging and doing online advertising , and building your personal brand around that , could have multiple opportunities for you to use , some of the other ways we talked about making money , and loop it back to your content , I know that there are several great blogs out there , that do six figures in revenue by doing these methods, , so it's something I would look at , I actually did okay with my blogging stuff , in terms of making some ad revenue, , the better part of that later came from doing , sponsorship stuff related to that , and bundling it with other things , I'm also exploring those opportunities with my podcast now, , so beyond copy writing, I would say online content , creation as a whole has a lot of different opportunities , for you to monetize , One of my favorites is one of the last things , we'll talk about, which is affiliate marketing , Affiliate marketing is something I'vie managed to do , very well across multiple affiliate websites , and deals and platforms , It's not just Amazon guys, there are so many opportunities , out there for you to do affiliate marketing , Obviously you know affiliates that I'vie worked with , in the past, you know that I'vie done affiliate stuff , with Blue host, and Wiz, and Host Gator, , and also with Tube Buddy and even for the sign up , for Jacobi, there's an affiliate link down there, , and it also gets you guys W% off if you wanna , build a membership site or build your online courses there , There's so many great affiliate programs out there, , there's Click Bank, there's Commission Junction, , there's Shareable, and I'm sure there are other , websites out there that have W and W% or better , affiliate deals for you , Even with things I'm doing with future online courses , will have affiliate deals, and so these are opportunities , where if you can't make a product of your own, , or you don't have the time for that, , if you use something and you wanna review it anyway, , and you believe in it, primary example, , all of my camera gear, all of the gear used , to make these YouTube videos and all of my content, , it's linked down in the description below , If any of you want to use the same gear I'm using , to produce the same results I'm getting, , then you guys have that opportunity , It costs you nothing extra, but I get a small commission , for that, and that's great for everybody involved , because it encourages more people to be honest , about what they're using and why they use it, , and give away a little bit of their secret sauce, , but they're getting something compensated in return, , and you guys as viewers are getting to know , a little bit of what's behind the curtain here , So I think that if you do it well, , and you do it from a place of authenticity, , that affiliate marketing can be great for you guys , for making money online , Just don't pedal crap that you don't actually use , or actually like , I think that that's really bad, , and that's scummy, and a lot of people try to do that, , but when I think it works the best , is when people know that, well this is what you use , every day for your work or your business , or your content, and so if you're using it, , yeah I kind of wanna use it because I want similar results , So I think that that's just the best way , to do affiliate marketing , One of the practical things I would say to do , is if you do affiliate marketing, , do reviews of what you're using , and then provide some actual use case , for how you used it, and I think that , that goes a long way to just demonstrating the thing , very well, representing the brand well, , and if you're smart, what you can do is, , you can do that and then you could actually promote , or tweet it and let the brands know, , and the best part is, maybe they become a sponsor later , So there's again, multiple opportunities here , I think you guys should explore all of these ways , of making money online and see which ones , work best for you , Again, me, I do a lot of the things here, , I diversify my income, and that ultimately has proven , to be the most successful , I brought up the Amazon Affiliate program, , but there's so many ways to make money on Amazon , and similar to Google Ad Words, , which also works for YouTube for the Ad Sense program, , I would say that you could do Amazon native ads , on your content and blogs, and I would especially look at , doing that if you're a pod caster , The reason is that you can actually kind of control , the CPM rates there a little bit, , and that's actually really interesting, , because it helps you kind of determine , how much money you can make , You can't raise it to something astronomical , and expect ads or things to show up, , but it actually, I think actually financially, , is better to have Amazon ads on your website or blog , than it is to have Google ads on your website , and blog at this point, and then I prefer to use , obviously Google for the YouTube advertising side , But between doing affiliate marketing , with image based banners from Amazon, , and also doing Amazon's native CPM ads, , I think that those are some of the best ways, , if you're gonna focus on written content and blogging, , for you to make money , I think later you combine that with some of these methods , like I talked about, you diversify as much as possible, , and then I think that's what ultimately helps you , to get a little bit more financial freedom, , make a little bit of extra money , There's no overnight success here, , there's no get rich quick , I'm just telling you the things that I did, , and that all of them combined added up really well, , and that there's something that you can explore , This stuff dozen't take a lot of money to invest in, , some of it costs zero to invest in , The main thing is just to educate yourself , about as much of it as possible, , and I provide you some of that information , here on the channel , Anyway guys, I know this was a long one, , but I wanted to give you W great ways , to make money online, and I wanted to give you some context , I did't want this to just be some stupid , list video where it's just, oh do this, , do that, with no actual practical way to apply it , and so I hope this was helpful to you , If you still have questions, definitely let me know , in the comments section down below, , let me know if you want more videos like this, , let me know if you want some dedicated videos , on how to use some of these methods of making money online , And so, maybe I can do those, or do like a tutorial , or a walk through , I just wanna see what would be the most helpful to you, , so let me know in the comments section , Remember, I'vie got links to a lot of the resources , I talked about down in the description below, , also some other videos that might help you link up , Remember if you specifically wanna focus on passive income, , I have a great video about W ways to make passive income , online, it's probably the best performing video , on this channel still , Anyway, like this video if you like it , Don't forget to subscribe , Check out the other awesome stuff on the channel , As always you guys, thanks so very much for watching , and don't forget, go out there, , create something awesome today, and maybe it's something , that you're able to monetize, get a few extra bucks , Take care .
