Ways To Make Money Online

Can You Make Money Online Without Any Starting Investment?

You sure can! If you have an internet connection and want to earn money online, it’s possible to do so without having an airtight business model or your own online store from day one. Whether you’re offering a service, selling a product, or publishing content on social media, there’s a slice of the internet that will be a perfect fit for you to generate extra cash.

Zeroing in on a problem you can solve is more important than fancy logos or expensive software, says Satya Purna, a cognitive behavioral money coach and founder of Infinite Minds, LLC.

“There are many low and no-cost opportunities that make money online, especially in the professional services industry,” she says, citing examples such as web design, digital marketing, search engine optimization, video editing, and social media consulting.

“The most important thing to consider is: ‘What problem can I solve?’ Then go find people who need to solve that problem. Whether you find them on freelancing websites like Upwork, or engage in networking events, all you need is (1) a problem you can solve, (2) a process you can use with your clients, and (3) a way to send invoices or contracts and collect cash.”

A simple website can be a low-cost way to put your best foot forward and start making money online from day one, says Neha Gupta, founder of College Shortcuts, a college admissions consulting company for families.
