10 ways to make money online from home.

But do I have the opportunity to earn income online?

Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals. Just because you can work from home means that you have either hard skills or soft skills.

Hard skill refers to skills that can be applied to specific tasks and can be accurately assessed. Generally, technical skills are included in this category. Such as: skills in digital marketing, being able to do motion graphics or writing a programming language.

Soft skills are skills that are related to your personality and cannot be measured or evaluated in a specific way. Such as: Ability to handle stress, team management, project supervision.

The funny thing is that we all have some kind of skill that we can use to start earning income online. For example, you can write very well on Facebook, a lot of people like and comment on your writing. You can start earning money from freelance marketplaces by doing this writing. I assume you don't have a hand in writing, but you watch a lot of movies or keep abreast of the entertainment business. I would say you start making videos on YouTube. There are many people watching this video on how much money Shah Rukh Khan donated to this corona, and you can make this video beautifully without copyright and earn it from YouTube.

During my 6-year career, I have been able to earn money from jobs and business, as well as freelancing on Fiber, Adsense on YouTube videos, Amazon's affiliate program, digital products on Invato Marketplace, and selling online courses to generate my income.

And so I want to share my experience through this blog with the idea that you can keep yourself and your family safe from the upcoming economic downturn.

What are the ways to earn income online?

As many of us are involved in many professions offline, so is the online marketplace. Considering the real field of work, we have now become one through both online and offline. Just like a graphic designer works for an organization offline, he can also do the same kind of work online in the freelance marketplace. Even before we hired an AC repair mechanic or truck we had to research the offline media. But now we are able to order this kind of service through the online app. This means that if we can do a job, the field of work is both offline and online. So let's take a look at what other online sources of income are possible besides the conventional work areas.

1. Earnings from Freelancing:

There are two ways you can work on a freelancing platform. Upwork, Freelancer platform, you need to get the job by looking at the client's project and bid, and on sites like Fiverr and People Per Hour, you can see the project and bid, as well as set the price of your services. If any client likes your service, they will send you a message or order directly. If the order is well delivered on time, the client will close the order as complete with a review of your service. Within 15 days of closing the work, you can transfer the money to complete your work to the account in Bangladesh through Pioneer or other payment method.

Freelancing is something you can start with:

- Any hard or soft skills like graphics design, animation, website development, virtual assistance, team management

- Professional completed profiles in marketplaces

- Bidding for marketplaces guidelines, or enlisting services

- Pioneer or other account for receiving payment

2. Earnings from YouTube

YouTube currently has 2 billion or 200 crore monthly active users. These 200 crore active users watch YouTube videos on an average of 11 minutes and 24 seconds every day. And these videos are watched by the users according to the suggestion of YouTube's recommendation algorithm. I mean, I started watching a video on YouTube and then I started watching another video from the suggested video below that video. This means that if you can create quality videos for YouTube with any topic, then YouTube's algorithm will deliver your video to the target audience of that video. You don't have to take any extra hassle except making quality videos.

And the income from YouTube will come through Google Adsense. Once your YouTube account is selected for the Google AdSense Partner Program, Google will start displaying ads as banners in certain places, next to the video, below the video. Much like showing Ed on TV. The more the audience of your YouTube channel interacts with these ads, the more you will earn from AdSense.

 

Earnings from YouTube videos that can be started with:

- Find unique topics by target audience

- Experience creating video records, editing footage, or creating motion graphics

- Understand the YouTube Community Guidelines, publish video content in compliance

- Basic idea about Google AdSense Partnership Program

- AdSense Partnership Approval (after 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of watchtime)

AdSense is a partner program of Google. Adsense works a lot like an advertising agency, meaning that those who want to earn money by showing ads on their YouTube, website, app or game can open an account in Google AdSense and show ads in their content according to their guidelines. You get paid to show ads on two topics, one, how many people saw the ad, two, how many people clicked on the ad.

3.Earnings from blog sites

If you can't make videos but you can write a lot, then you can make a blog site and earn from it. However, it is not the case that ‘chalachalaiya’ money will keep coming as soon as you write about any topic. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. The more users you have, the more Google will value you. And Google giving you importance means that when someone searches the topic related to your topic from Google search engine, the link of your blog site will appear on the first page of Google search results.

And you can generate income from the time your blog site gets approval for the Google AdSense program. Once approved, your audience will occasionally see ads on your blog page, or in the sidebar next to the site, depending on the placement of the Google AdSense code on the blog site. And just like YouTube, depending on the impressions and clicks, it will start accumulating in your AdSense.

 

Blog sites that can be started with:

- Experience creating basic website sites with WordPress

- Experience writing SEO friendly content by doing keyword research

- Basic graphics design and video editing experience for publishing images and videos related to the blog

- Rapid distribution of the published content to the target audience through digital marketing

4. Earnings from website subscriptions

Suppose you are a good cook. You are also maintaining a YouTube channel about your cooking. Allready fan followers are being created on Facebook, or YouTube from these videos. Now you can start earning from some of your premium cooking recipe content by ‘membership subscription’. That means you have to pay your audience to view the premium cooking recipe content on your site. If 1000 people see a recipe with 50 rupees in 1 month, then you earn 50 thousand rupees only from a premium recipe content!

Now think about it, if you publish more than 50 premium recipe content on your recipe site in 1 year, then how much money can you earn per month?

With this subscription, you can charge for showing a specific blog or website page as well as arrange for members to subscribe to your daily, weekly, or monthly model if they wish.

There are some pretty good platforms including Image Market, Shutterstock, Envato Graphic River, FreePic, where you can become a contributor and upload such images. Whenever someone buys your picture from these platforms, you get commission for every sale. However, such platforms do not accept all types of images. Your image quality, resolution should be good. Then the chances of approval will increase a lot.

Is it not possible to sell digital products without pictures?

Possible. In addition to pictures, if you can work in graphics design, such as banner design, Facebook post design, motion graphics animated video, or 3D modeling… you can sell all these products in these types of marketplaces.

6. By affiliate marketing

In Bengali, affiliate marketing is about earning money by working as a sales agent. Just as brokerage houses act as agents in the stock market, there are many companies whose products, if someone orders through you, can get you a commission of up to 4-6% of that order. Suppose you are affiliated with Amazon or Alibaba's affiliate program. Now you have developed a website where there are only reviews of kids toys, and there are quite a few good visitors from all over the world who see toy reviews on your website, click on the link and order from Amazon and Alibaba. Amazon and Alibaba will send you a commission for each sale converted from your website to your bank account. You might be wondering, if someone buys through you, how will it track! Or if someone visits with the link of your shared product but buys it next time then how will they track that order!

The matter may seem complicated, but the tracking system of large affiliate programs is much more organized. For example, in the world's largest Amazon affiliate program, if someone buys a product with a link to your shared product, you will also get a commission if someone visits the Amazon site and buys another product.

The funny thing is, it's not just physical products that have affiliate marketing programs. Another big affiliate program in the world is Envato Marketplace, where you can earn money from affiliate marketing of digital products.
