It takes time to grow a blog, but if you stick with it, you have the opportunity to earn money through several different methods.

#2 Freelancing

I freelanced for over 3 years and found some great gigs on Upwork, which is a legit popular freelancing website. You can join for free and start searching for your first freelancing side gig. If you have a skill that you can offer, you can literally start working at home with or without a lot of experience. The hardest part is finding your first paying customer, once you do, they seem to come a lot easier.

#6 Sell Unused Items

We all have items that we no longer use or just don’t want anymore. Go around your house looking for any unused items you no longer use and then sell it on Craigslist or eBay.

I’ve sold items on both sites and I personally prefer to sell on Craigslist because you don’t have to pay a listing fee. The downside is that you will have to meet the buyer to complete the sale. I always make sure that I meet them in a public place.

#7 Be An Amazon FBA Seller

Becoming an Amazon FBA Seller may require an upfront investment, but if you do it correctly, you can make a lot of money. Amazon is one of the top-selling companies in the United States.

If you have a website that is making some money right now, you’ll make more money than a website that doesn’t make anything. There are several people who have used this method to get rich or have turned it into a business.

#15 Create An Online Course

Online courses seem to be the thing nowadays. Whether you want to learn how to sew, how to become a virtual assistant or just want to learn how to do something new, you can literally find an online course that will teach you how to do it.

When I started my WordPress freelance business, I really had no clue what I was doing. Yet that didn’t stop me from finding paying clients who were willing to pay me for my knowledge and experience.

#21 Become a Proofreader

There are some business owners who would be willing to pay you for your time and effort to proofread their blog posts. The cool thing is that you can use tools like Grammarly or WhiteSmoke to help you out, even if you’re grammar is not that great.

It All Depends

If you start a blog in hopes of earning financial freedom, it’s going to take you a longer than someone who gets started completing surveys.

A blog opens up a world of opportunities and you can literally make six figures from a blog, depending on how you monetize it. The downside is that it doesn’t happen overnight.

You’re going to have to work hard at it and treat it like a business if you want to scale your income to a level that will provide the freedom you desire.

All I can say is that all these ideas really work if you’re willing to put in the effort. Make sure that you set realistic expectations when you get started, otherwise, you’ll be disappointed with your results.

Final Take Away

Regardless of which method you choose to start, it’s important to realize that you won’t get rich overnight. Some of the methods will earn you more than others.

The best piece of advice I can give is to choose something that you’ll actually enjoy. If you don’t enjoy it, you can’t expect to continue putting forth the effort if you’re not getting the results you want.
