Want to start making money on the internet? Of course you do!

Entrepreneurship is one of the most sought after professions in the world today. However, just because you’ve seen others find success with a business of their own, in no way does it mean it’s going to be easy. The good news is that the internet has completely changed everything, and it’s also made the opportunities in entrepreneurship a whole lot easier.

Today we are going to skip the general banter and jump right into some of the easiest, most effective and best ways to get started with an online business of your own.

Best of all, each of these methods will apply to everyone — but also differently at the same time.

Browse through our five recommended methods below to start making money online, building a brand, or even growing your existing business to that next level.

Let’s get started.

1 – Advice, Blueprints, and Resources Galore!

If you’ve ever thought about starting an online business, then you’ve likely searched through Google to find a potential winner for you. However, at the same time, you probably got frustrated and lost in the process.

The good news is that there are plenty of great resources and expert interviews and case studies out there to choose from. As long as you stick with reputable articles and resources from well-known sites and brands, you are likely going to be in good hands.

A perfect example is this recent article on Forbes, from Russell Ruffino, which discusses how he was able to take his existing business model and multiple it’s effectiveness and earnings by several multiples, simply by adding automation into the mix. 

This article will be all too familiar for anyone who might already be running a business online, and a complete eye opener for anyone looking to get started.

2 – Blogging and Site Creation with No Tech Skills

Speaking of getting started, it’s now easier than ever before.

If you didn’t want to start an online business because you were afraid of the startup costs and the idea that you would need to be a site designer or programmer — we understand.

The great news is, all of those frustrations are gone out the window!

Thanks to free and easy to use CMS solutions like WordPress, and drag and drop site builders from GoDaddy or Wix, anyone can go live with a site of their own in just minutes… without ever needing to hire an expert or touching a line of code.

3 – Affiliate Marketing and Revenue Sharing

When it comes to making money online, you need to have a legitimate business model. This is one of the hardest parts in starting a business in the first place.

On the internet however, it’s a completely different story.

Say hello to ‘affiliate marketing‘. 

The concept here is simple. Connect with a brand, join their affiliate program, and earn a commission every time a new lead or sale is sent to their site.

Amazon was one of the first companies to use affiliate marketing in their business back in the 90s, and look at where they are today. Now almost every big name company and brand has an affiliate program, while also paying out millions to their site partners.

4 – Promotion Opportunities are Everywhere

No matter what type of business you have (online of offline), you need to attract new audience and customers. Without them, you are just going to be sitting there and accruing costs and wasting time.

In local and offline business, it’s tough to reach new audiences, as you would need to focus on paid advertising and word of mouth marketing. On the internet, it’s a completely different story.

Thanks to social media, news outlets, SEO, and content creation, anyone can launch a business online and start attracting new audiences and customers from around the world.

Not only are many of these traffic generating methods free, they are also working for your business 24/7.

5 – Turning Your Expertise into a Real Business

Of the many different ways to start making money online, one of the best and most attractive, has to be using your existing expertise and passion to generate revenue.

This is often done through the use of personal coaching, creating an information or resource site, or even launching your own digital product or membership course. Best of all, as we mentioned earlier, in most cases there are little to no technical or design skills required to set these up.

To get started, it’s best to figure out what you are best at and how you can provide a service to others. Then take some time to search through Google and social media to see how others are offering this same service.
