I must let you know that there’s nothing like making money without paying anything or without making investment (I’ll explain more about this soon).

Over the years, I realized that many people (especially beginners) still don’t get the idea of how it all works online.

To make a dime on the internet you’ll have to do things under these 3 broad departments:

• Provide a service to people or companies
• Sell a product(s), either a digital product or tangible items
• Provide information

The question is; would you profit just for some days and the money stops coming in?

Definitely not, but that’s the part that many have chosen. Simply put, they’ve chosen to spend time and effort on online opportunities and not online business.

What’s the difference?

In one of my top articles about the real truth behind earning money on the internet, I gave the difference.

I also talked about the truth that no one wants to share with you when it comes to making this internet money.

The truth is, if you really want to make money on the net and keep making it, you must understand the fact that internet opportunities come and go but your online business stays.

In fact, starting a blog has made it to my list of profitable small businesses in Nigeria that makes you money.

Blogs have been rated as the 5th most trusted source for accurate online information. Most times, what blogging really costs you is your time.

There are more insightful reasons to consider owning a blog and you should try as much as possible not to make these blogging errors.

When many hear the word blog/blogging they just assume its about copying and pasting news to the web, well, you must rise above that thinking, it’s something more!

According to Lifewire, a vlog stands for a video blog or video log and refers to a type of blog where most or all of the content is in video form.

So what’s the idea?

You can choose a niche (lifestyle, food, music covers, smartphone unboxing, comedy skits, prank videos, etc.) and produce video contents continuously.

You get subscribers, and you make money through adverts, sponsorship, affiliate marketing, or the sales of your own products, and more.

Ways to Make Money Online With Google

Google is not just a business owned by Alphabet Inc, It’s a business that’s successfully created more millionaires.

Google Adsense on YouTube and on hundreds of millions of websites is how Google help publishers make money online.

You can make as high as $40 to $80 a day and in 30 days you’ll be in money! But this depends on your site traffic or views that your videos get.

Many businesses and companies want to advertise on the world’s leading advertising Network, they pay Google for displaying their ads on blogs/sites that apply for Adsense, and Google pay these site owners from what advertisers have bid.

I still call that some sort of advanced affiliate marketing in that, you earn by allowing google recommend ads to your site visitors.

Google Doesn’t own the products or services advertised by advertisers, you also do not own these products/services, but you’ll get paid because these ads are simply displayed on website/blog, apps or YouTube videos.

Now you see that this is just so cool. Now tell me, if you don’t have a platform, will you be able to benefit from this?

I’ve created an in-depth Google Adsense Guide, and you’ll find EVERYTHING YOU NEED to know about Making money with Adsense.
