How to make money online 2022

This Is both a “make easy money online” article and not. All the methods I write about are all tested by me and if not am I telling that. There are so many make-money articles on medium and online with almost the same topics about the subject. I have sometimes a feeling that the writer doesn't always have worked with what they are writing about.

And yes this could be another one but I will try to make it my way and not use any AI writing tool. I use them sometimes but feel a bit split about it, it is not writing in my opinion. It is article making, and that’s ok for those who have it as a living but I am not, I write as a hobby and relaxing. And I am still learning about writing, especially in English, it is not my native language so I have to struggle a bit and learn. Hope you can read the article without misunderstanding, I sometimes probably use the wrong words and my grammar is not the best all the time. But happy reading anyway.

Making money online is both easy and hard, most of the effort you do will show up after about 5–6 months. You will not make money at once, those who write about short time money have probably had had a bit of luck or a lot of knowledge. It is not fast money for most of us, first of all, you have to have an audience. A lot of visitors have to visit your blog, website, or you have to have a large email list. And that takes time. 

It is possible to buy an email list but I have not seen anyone with a good experience from that. They are often old emails and are not in use anymore. I have not tried that so I don’t know, it is only what I read about.

So the first you have to do is grow an audience if you don’t have any. That’s your first goal. And there is a large problem. How to grow an audience in a blog. The only thing I could suggest, and know, is to write, write and write again. You can use an AI tool for writing, but that is probably boring when you use it for a long time. I think it is better to write about things you love and know.

I use blogger and of course, medium for my writing and haven’t written for so long, so my audience isn’t anything to talk about. One good thing with blogger is that you can connect to Google Adsence directly and have advertisements on the blog. But only if you have many readers. As I wrote before that takes a while to grow. 

A mail list is possible to grow a bit faster if you use tools like GrowMeOrganic, KENDO, and others. To affiliate with email is not forbidden and isn’t equivalent to spam. But you can't only have affiliate links in the mail, you have to have a more personal touch. A quiz, a story, or something like that.

GrowMeOrganic 

GrowMeOrganic is, I think, one of the best if you can afford it, it costs $49/month and above. I have only tried it but what I saw was good. You can grow an email list with 100000 names quite fast. It also can create email marketing campaigns like Mailchimp. It can create chatbots. Find email addresses from a list of websites. Extract email from LinkedIn and more.

KENDO

KENDO is for making a mail list with LinkedIn contacts and people you visit at LinkedIn. It is not so expensive, from $14/month (600 credits) and above. You have to install an extension in Chrome and visit LinkedIn in the web browser. And you can export your mail list and email verification. It works fine for me, I think it's okay.

 Snov.io

Snov.io is also a Chrome extension. With Snov.io you can collect email from any site you visit. I haven’t used it so much, mostly tried it. But it seems to work fine. It is free for two months with 50 credits per month. It is possible to copy and paste emails, to export a mail list you have to upgrade and it costs from $33/month.

Twiends

Twiends makes it possible to grow your Twitter account, they have an ethical sight and help you slowly grow your Twitter account. It has a very nice UI and is easy to use. Recommend it. The cost is $9/week. You can stop the subscription from one week to another. You can also pause the subscription for up to three months.

Affiliate programs 

There are a lot of affiliate marketplaces online. Those I have listed here are those I am using and have experience with. Some of them are easy to connect to, others have a higher requirement from you. It could be how you are going to advertise, to whom your, for example, website or blog are directed. Or how many subscribers you have.

Clickbank

Clickbank is one of the oldest affiliate program distributors, it started around 1993 in a garage and has grown to one of the largest. It is easy to connect to and easy to connect to companies. You don’t have to wait for their okay to use their affiliate program. Most of the companies have good affiliate tools. But there is a lot of, in my eye, non-serious products. So you have to search a lot for products with quality if you care about that. You often have direct contact with companies and they often offer help for your affiliate work. Many companies give “selling” courses for you to do a better job.

Awin

Awin affiliate programs is a very well-working site. It is a bit easier to work with and they have an affiliate program for the whole world. Most companies have good tools for your affiliate work. It is a bit harder to connect to companies, they have to okay you before you can connect to them. They have a large catalog of companies so it isn’t hard to make some connections. The response time from companies could sometimes be long, but it is mostly from them who don’t want to work with you. I like it and have many contacts there.

Amazon Associates

Since 1996, Amazon Associates has been one of the best affiliate programs for beginners. In reality, it was the world's first internet affiliate marketing program. And, with a lot of firms learning how to sell on Amazon, the potential for affiliates to develop appears limitless. The commissions are low but you have around 1,5 million products to choose from.

CJ

I am a bit new on CJ, but what I have glimpsed seems alright. It isn't the best UI but it is okay. It has a lot of companies engaged, most of them are doing a review of you before you get connected to them.

Fiverr

Fiverr is one of the best sites for affiliates. They have a large number of promotion tools. From videos to banners to ebooks. There is no problem finding stuff for your interests and audience. 

Bluehost

Bluehost is a web hosting company, they have been around for a while as web hoster. They have a great resource of affiliate tools and are easy to connect to.

Many web hosting companies have an affiliate program, search for a web host at google and you will find a lot of opportunities for affiliating.

Moosend

Moosend is an email marketing website. They have very good help for your affiliate work. Many tools to work with. Banners, email, video, and much more gadgets. They have a nice affiliate program to make you have a good start.

Lemonads

Lemonads has a very serious approach and wants to work with you like teamwork and help you as an affiliate. They want to discuss with you before you connect to them, and help you in the right direction. They don't leave you alone in your way into the affiliate marketing business.

Knoji

At Knoji you can find affiliate links to more established companies like Apple, H&M, etc I haven't tried to connect to any of them yet and I think many of the larger companies have high demands on your ways to affiliate with them. But do you already have a working blog, for example, is it worth a try.

Dropshipping

Dropshipping is fun but a slow way to make money and a lot of work. I have two e-commerce websites. One in EU, Print on any thing, and one in the USA, Print on any thing USA, if you live in Europe and click on Print on any thing USA, you will be redirected to my European site and the other way around if you live in the USA. 

You have to work a lot with SEO to make a good ranking in Google for your site. It takes a while. I have been working on them for about one year and haven't sold so much to talk about. But my goal is to make them work and sell in about 2-3 more years.

I am using Shopify, it costs me $29/month for each site, there is a lot of other shop hostings you can use, like Woocommerce or Bigcommerce.

I decided to use Shopify because it is the oldest and I think it best to work with for me and my purpose. It has a lot of apps to integrate with the shop. There are also a lot of users to get help from and their support is good. The other ones are probably good too but I have not worked with them so I have no experience of how they are.

I think the shipping time is one important issue for dropshipping, I have searched a lot to find good suppliers with short shipping time. Many drop shipping companies have a monthly charge to use them and I wanted my costs low so I had to search a lot to find some with short delivery time and low prices on their products and low or no monthly cost.

Hope this article had been a help for you and an inspiration for your further business, keep on working and don't give up to early. It can take time, let it do so, you will learn a lot on your way.
