INTRODUCTION
I have always wanted to write a book on these ideas. The ideas mentioned in this book have been tested and proven either by myself, or by others I know.
People say that ideas rule the world, and theyre not kidding.
There is always that million dollar idea lurking in the shadows. We have in this dot com age seen a lot of businesses starting out in garages and going on to become multi-billion dollar corporations, all in less than 20 years. Most great things started with an idea, virtually everything around us started with an idea. All the inventors did was ask the right questions and push towards achieving their set objectives. My goal is to unleash the creativity inside of you, to get you out of that comfort zone to that place where you can change things. It is my earnest desire that when you read through this guide, you will find your own idea!
I also know that sometimes, there is always that need for a little extra to get you going and thats why I have put together this guide on 40 ideas to help you generate income.
Some of the ideas listed here are passive, while others will require a greater amount of time and dedication to see them through. However, all of them can eventually become passive through outsourcing. Some will require skills you already possess and for others, you will have to take a few courses and work at it to gain mastery before setting up a business in that niche.
In this guide, I will show you in simple steps how to generate income online in a wide variety of businesses, and all of them from the comfort of your home. The language is intentionally conversational and easy to follow.
Happy reading!
CHAPTER 1 - BLOGGING
While blogs are now so commonplace that its near impossible not to have come across one yet, for the purpose of this guide, we shall be discussing: 1) what blogs are, 2) how you can make money from blogging, and 3) how you can setup your own blog and be on your way to financial freedom in 2017.
So what exactly is a blog?
A weblog, shortened to blog, though similar to a website, is a journal/diary that is usually maintained by one person called the blogger. Usually, blogs can be categorized into niches (fashion, travel, entertainment etc.). The particular niche determines the content and this reflects the passion of the blogger. Bloggers are usually very passionate about the niche they write about.
Quality content (blog posts) is the fundamental piece of every blog. To ensure your blog gets lots of visitorsbecause you need to have people visiting and reading your blog posts to make it popular and in turn make moneyyou have to regularly create content (blog posts). Depending on the niche, your content should be trendy, catchy (you can use lots of pictures) and engaging. You are expected to update your blogs often to maintain readership.
Getting Started
Here are the definitions of a few words that will appear regularly in the course of this guide.
Blog (n.) A blog is an online journal or diary that is available on the Internet.
Blogger (n.) A blogger is an individual who is the blog owner or a person who is responsible for creating content or posts.
Blog Post (n.) An article or writing that is inside the blog. This is content that keeps the readers coming back again.
Blogging (v.) Is the act of maintaining or writing a blog
Blogging is quite an engaging venture. In a featured article the Billionaire Bloggers on forbes.com, it is stated that more than 112 million people in the world blog regularly and there are 13 billionaires out of the 1,125 on the list who are true bloggers. Even billionaires are bloggersso why not you?
Blogging, as a profession, has proven to be very lucrative. However, not many people have the knowledge and understanding to make a successful career out of blogging. Although creating a very successful blog is no easy feat, as the blogosphere is quite competitive, with a good measure of passion, talent, dedication and good business sense, you can become very successful.
There is a need for bloggers to have a drive, passion and expertise in their respective niches to be successful.
However, most of the money made by bloggers doesnt usually come directly from just blogging. A blog mostly serves as a platform or springboard to launch other products and services that bring in income. There is no method of making money that is better than the other; they all provide endless possibilities for the blogger. All you have to do is to find a combination that works for you, or create your own. The key to making good money from blogging is to have multiple streams of income from your blog. For instance, if you blog about travelling, then try selling your service as a booking agent or create an affiliate with travel agencies, hotels or Airbnb.
How to Make Money from Blogging
There are lots of ways you can make money from blogging. The ways listed below are just a few. Your reach and readership are the major things that will determine how much you can make, as your window of opportunity is endless when your blog becomes very popular.
Google AdSense : Google AdSense is the most popular way of creating income through blogging. Google AdSense is the ad network powered by Google and it is probably the most popular ad network in the world. Most of the ads you come across when you surf the web are placed on the website or blogs by Google AdSense.
Google AdSense ads come in various shapes and forms; some can be images and others text. They are placed in headers, footers or within posts, and anywhere else the blog owner chooses to display them. AdSense is a good place to start for new bloggers because it is easy to set up. Advertisers pay money for clicks on their ads that are displayed on your blog. The key here to reaping lots of benefit from Google AdSense is to create good content and drive as much traffic as you can to your blog. The more people who visit your blog, the greater the likelihood is of them clicking on the ads.
