While we all look to find a job that we sustain us, some look to create business from the vast resources available.

Even if you just want to start a side business for extra income, this is for you too.

You may not know that there are so many ways you can increase your financial income by turning your interests and skills into real cash online; by just working from the comfort of your home, dedicating few hours each day.

The internet has created a lot of endless opportunities for anyone who’s ready to make use of them.

To some people, making money from the internet usually sounds like a complicated nightmare, but this is not. Well, I’ll be honest with you, starting an online based store and business of any kind is hard work. Few years ago, I started an e-commerce website that sell wristwatches in Nigeria and I could tell you that it wasn’t easy. The most difficult part of this is getting prospects to my website.

But luckily enough, a countless number of people from different parts of the world have already done it. You too can follow this footstep.

In this article, I’m not about to sell you any product. Neither will I tell you to buy any item or software; it is just an informative writing that will direct you in the right part of internet business ideas.

So, let’s get started.

1.     Start a Blog

You need to start writing. By starting a blog in a niche market, you open yourself to receiving income online.

For many years now, people have been making a living from blogging, primarily by delivering free, actionable, entertaining, informative, and educational content on a variety of topics to their audience.

Your blog topic can be about anything ranging from:

·       Food;

·       Information;

·       Technology;

·       Fashion;

·       Sport;

·       Travel;

·       Entertainment;

·       Nutrition; and many more

    By doing this, you can monetize your blog by:

·       Selling advert space;

·       Affiliate marketing;

·      Google Adsense; and more.

Remember, there is no limits to the ways you can monetize your blog

2.     Start a Dropshipping Business.

With Dropshipping, don’t need a warehouse filled with inventory to run your own business. All you need is to find companies to sell for. By this, I mean companies that you will be helping to sell their products and services.

Dropshipping is a good way to start your own business on a very low budget; in fact, you do not have to own a single product. You just need to get existing products from a supplier and let them take care of everything else. The manufacturer or supplier will take care of fulfillment, packaging, and shipping.

Like any other online business, Dropshipping gives you the opportunity to run your business from anywhere because you don’t need a warehouse. Your store doesn’t have to stock products in any physical location.

This is how Dropshipping works:

You set up an online web store, promote your website as much as you can. Once someone buys an item from your site, you make an order with the supplier on behalf of your customer, and the supplier handles everything else.

Today, many individuals are making thousands of dollars each month as a dropshipper

3.     Become a freelancer

As a freelancer, you have the freedom to choose the project you want to do. Most importantly, you have you time and freedom to work at your own convenience.

As new business springs up every day, these business owners look to recruit freelancers. This is not only true for new businesses; existing businesses also seek the services of freelancers. As a matter of fact, shown by Yokebay, new business creates new opportunities for freelancers.

To become a freelancer, you have these two decisions to make when starting:

·       Decide on the services you want to provide; and

·       Join a freelancing job provider.

There are lots of freelance job providers out there – websites like Fiverr, Upwork, Indeed and many more offer these services.

4.     Affiliate Marketing

I love affiliate marketing. It’s very easy to make money by just referring someone to a company. You earn a percentage of the sales price or fix commission. Although the amount you earn in commission depend on the program network provider.

As an online affiliate marketing, you are actually promoting someone else products and services on either your website or other platforms; such as social media platforms and earning huge commissions in return.

Most of the top brands usually pay between 10%-30% commissions to their affiliates. All you need is to find that hot product and make others buy it or click it.

To be successful as an affiliate marketer, you need to develop strong marketing skills. By doing so, you will be able to market the product you are promoting in a variety of ways.

5.     Social Media Management

What do you use your social media accounts for?

As you may know, social media managers are a relatively new occupation that has experienced incredible growth over the last few years. The immense post-millennial population that exists today in our country were essentially raised on social media. Keywords such as Myspace, Facebook, and Yahoo readily became part of a child’s lexicon at exceedingly early ages.

As those millennial have grown into teenagers and young adults, they have effectively joined the consumer base of the economy. Millennial consumers expect the businesses they deal with to not only have a robust social media presence but also to be able to partake in any customer service issues via a readily responsive social media avenue.

As a result, the use of social media among small-, medium-, and large-scale companies has veritably exploded in recent years. The employment of social media managers has become commonplace, with businesses actively seeking out individuals who are highly adept at various social media avenues and are able to facilitate and organize consumer communications in those avenues.

Social media managers command a relatively generous salary and can work comfortable hours doing what they enjoy. Crafting a job as a social media manager is as easy as being highly fluent in Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and LinkedIn, possessing a high degree of organizational management, and additionally having the ability to produce results on a fast basis.

While these are five of the best online business to start, just remember that they are just few other internet businesses you can start without too much capital. There are other ones out there, just look for few that are best for you.
