45 Side Hustle Ideas to Make Money Quickly

This post is about the best side hustle ideas to make money quickly!

With job security a thing of the past having some side hustles are probably the best way to earn more money and quickly too!

Here is a list of the 45 best side hustle ideas you can start asap to make more money fast!

#1 – Sell on eBay

Look around your home and you will see money everywhere you look. I am dead serious because your trash/junk could be somebody else’s treasure. Start selling things you no longer need on eBay today, and you will be amazed how much people will pay for your unwanted items!

#2 – Delivery Services

If you like driving why not consider being a delivery person? You can deliver for Amazon, or a local business or whoever is seeking drivers! It does not have to be just packages, you can deliver food, flowers, furniture whatever people are ordering!

#3 – Teach People How to Use Smart Phones

Unlike yourself sadly most people have not got the slightest idea how to use their smart phones properly and effectively. That is where you can come in and show them how to use their phones the right way, and if you are really tech savvy you can show them how to use a tablet or their computers too!

#4 – Web Design

As you may be aware everything is online these days, and most brands and businesses need to have some form of web presence in terms of a website. If you are good with WordPress or Wix you can earn a lot of money being a web designer. And if you are good, people will start recommending you and you will have regular gigs to design websites!

#5 – Drive for Uber or Lyft

If you have a car just sitting there on your days off, why not use it to your advantage and earn money by driving for Uber or Lyft. I remember one driver I had in an Uber was a college student paying off his debt by doing the gig on the side. Don’t waste your car, and start driving and earning money today!

#6 – Blogging

Is there a subject or topic you find a lot of passion in? It has never been a better time to start a blog! Look at SCGSHOW.com as an example, I built it up from scratch and now I am getting organic visitors every day. You can make money from your blog by putting adverts on there or placing affiliate links or even your own products to sell! Start blogging today and you will see the benefit in 6-12 months of that hard work really pay off passively!

#7 – Photography

Are you handy with a camera? People will pay surprisingly good money for photographers for all sorts of events from weddings, ceremonies, personal reasons and more. Take your passion for photography and start earning good money offering your services today!

#8 – Virtual Assistant

If you do not fancy leaving your home to go out to work, you can always work remotely and being a virtual assistant is a fantastic way of doing so. A virtual assistant normally handles all the administrative work a company or individual just has not got the time to do. So, you can log on and do a few hours a day answering emails, doing spreadsheets for some rather good money!

#9 – Rent Your Space on AirBnB

People are earning great passive income renting out any space they can on AirBnB! You can rent out an entire flat or house to even just a private spare room in your property. This phenomenon has gone global, and people are earning a fortune even just renting out their pool houses alone.

Do you know who needs to invest in digital security?

Anyone with something worth protecting.

And if you’re reading this post, I’m guessing that is you.

Because, like most Americans, you’ve spent a good part of your life building a life worth protecting.

That’s why I am excited to partner with Aura, who is sponsoring The SCG SHOW.

So, if you want a secure your online presence from hackers, scammers and noisy advertising companies go to Aura and when you use my link , you’ll get up to 40% off all plans!

#10 – Chauffeuring

Unlike Uber, being a chauffeur or a personal driver is a bit more of a luxury and private service. I know a guy who earns a cool $50 a day driving a very wealthy old lady to and from her friends’ home because she has grown to trust the driver. That is $1000 a month extra from just one customer! Make sure your car is nice and clean though and remember to be professional!

#11 – Tutor

If you are a teacher or a lecturer, you can make terrific money by tutoring students outside of work hours. I know a woman who earnt more money from her private students than she did teaching! You do not have to be a teacher, and if you are an expert in a subject start tutoring today!

#12 – Walk Dogs

One of the most difficult things about owning a dog is finding the time to walk the poor thing, especially if you are a busy person. But a dog walker I know earns a good side income by walking several at a time for some very wealthy people. If you love dogs offer your time to walk them and you will be amazed how many people will need your services!

#13 – Personal Chefs

If you love cooking being a personal chef is a great side hustle! I know a guy personally who does BBQs for some wealthy people on a regular weekly basis and charges them $30 a head! Once you are in with these people, they will recommend you to all their friends and family. Therefore, if you fancy yourself at cooking, become a personal chef today!

#14 – Manage Social Media for Businesses

Most local businesses do not know how to log onto their social media let alone manage it! Social media can have an enormous impact on building more exposure for businesses, and they will often pay handsome fees to people to manage their social media on their behalf. So, if you are good at social media and use it often, then you really need to sell your services to businesses!

#15 – Write and Sell Your eBook on Amazon

I earn a passive income from books I had published ages ago on Amazon. The best thing is it is free to do! So, if you fancy yourself a bit of a writer, start writing your book and get it published on Kindle for free! Then every time somebody purchases your book you will receive a royalty for all the hard work you had done previously! Also, your book does not need to be fiction, it can be a how to book, but make sure you write about what you are passionate and interested in!

#16 – Start a YouTube Channel

I started SCG SHOW on YouTube in late 2019 and in 6 months I got over 1000 subscribers and approved on the YouTube partnership programme! Meaning I earn money from advertisers for all my videos! So if you are passionate about a certain topic, pick your niche and start creating content today, and when you hit the threshold of 1000 subs and 4000 watch hours you may get approved to earn money from your videos!

#17 – Graphic Design

Are you good with photoshop? Do you fancy yourself a bit of an artist? Well people will pay you exceptionally good money for you to design their logos, their signs, their invitations you name it! Also, pro tip here = if you do not fancy using photoshop check out Canva.com as they are fantastic and are free to use!

#18 – Baking

Thanks to Instagram baking has become more popular than ever before! So, if you love baking, you can start catering for people’s parties, birthdays, and weddings! Simply start a social media page with pictures of your wonderful cake creations and if people like what you do, they will pay you incredibly good money for personalized desserts! A girl I know who is an amazing baker is and has now signed a TV deal just from being so popular with her cakes!

#19 – Print on Demand

I earn particularly good money from selling my merchandise on Teespring.com which is a print on demand service. Basically, when somebody buys a t-shirt with my logo on it, I earn a commission and Teespring print it and ship it to the customer! No stock, no expenses, just pure profits! Please be advised however that any designs must be original and not copywritten so do not get any funny ideas of ripping people off!

#20 – Babysitting

The average babysitter earns $16 per hour! And all they do is sit in a house with some kids and watch Netflix. I could not think of an easier gig! Plus, if the parents really trust you, they will start recommending you to other people! I know a babysitter who earns $100s a week watching multiple kids and she loves it!

#21 – Wash Cars

A friend of mine started a huge side business cleaning footballer’s luxury cars! What he would do is go to the training ground and offer to clean one car, and in a couple of weeks he became the exclusive cleaner of all their cars! People are lazy and hardly clean their cars, that is where you come in to soak their motors and if they like you, they will ask you to do it regularly! All you need is a bucket, soap, a sponge, and a hose, and you are good to go!

#22 – Flip Products

When people are selling products, they are usually doing no research on what the actual value is. That is why if you do a little research you can flip things for big profits online. A great idea is to go to a store that is having a huge clearance sale or is closing and pick up items for a massive discount and flip it online at a higher premium. People do this full time and earn six figures annually, by storing loads of products in their garages ready to flip!

#23 – Create on Online Course

Are you an expert in a specific field? Create an online course or a digital product that people can buy so they can learn whatever it is you have to offer. This in fact is how some of the top internet marketers all around the world are earning a fortune! Make sure your course is genuine and offers good value however!

#24 – Bookkeeping

A woman I know who does bookkeeping and earns $300 a week just by doing one days’ worth of bookkeeping. Most people need a bookkeeper to help them with their accounts, so if you have a keen interest in balance sheets and breakeven analysis, offer your bookkeeping services today! If you are trustworthy and reliable this could be regular work for you too!

#25 – Tour Guide

Do you know your local area well? Are you a bit of a historian? Start offering tour guides to people and you can earn a regular income from this if you start getting good reviews. A guy I know retired to Greece and offered tours in a remote yet historic part of the country and earns thousands a year off the tourists!

#26 – Pet Grooming

People take better care of their pets than themselves, and if you love animals you should consider offering grooming for them! You can also charge whatever you like as most pet owners are willing to pay for the convenience of a local groomer too! And if you set up at home, you eliminate most of your expenses already!

#27 – Home Maintenance

Sadly, I am not a handyman, but the guy I use regularly is. He has earnt hundreds off me from doing odd jobs such as fitting in light fixtures, repairing tiles, fixing leaks and so on. So, if you are good with your hands and like using tools once you start doing work like this most people will be using you on a regular basis.

#28 – Mystery Shopping

A mystery shopper is a paid consumer who is hired to shop in stores and collect important information. Think of mystery shoppers as “undercover customers” sent in to observe, interact, and report on other customers and store employees. Mystery shoppers are typically employed by a third-party rather than the store or company itself. If you love to shop this side hustle is for you!

#29 – Proofreading

Are you an avid reader? Are you a bit of a Grammar Nazi? Well proofreading is the perfect side hustle for you! You can read legal documents, books, transcripts, and charge either per word or per hour!

#30 – Translating

If you are bilingual, you can translate important information for people on the side. My friends’ mother was so good and successful at this that she ended up doing this as a full-time business. All because she could speak two languages = Spanish and English. You can charge by the hour or per document you need to translate.

#31 – Clean Houses

You will be amazed how much money cleaners can make. In fact, my friend started a cleaning company and became so busy that they outsourced all the cleaners for all their clients. Homeowners only trust certain people to clean their homes, so once you build a rapport you will have a regular gig with them for sure!

#32 – Pick up Trash

I know a guy who does this full time! He clears driveways, and peoples yards and then takes them to the local dumps. He literally bought a truck for cheap and just drives about offering his services as well as people calling him up. He earns $500 a day, and on a good day $1000!

#33 – Iron and Dry Clean Clothes

Most people are lazy and do not like to wash their clothes. Therefore, if you are good or interested in that build relationships with people and you can charge good money to regularly clean, iron and wash their clothing!

#34 – Ghost-writing

Most novelist and writers do not write their own books. They hire ghost-writers to do all the hard work for them and take all the credit. However, in return they can get paid well for doing so! Therefore, if you are good at writing, reach out to authors and such offering your services to them!

#35 – Teach a Language

If you are bilingual, you can earn excellent money teaching a language to somebody. Like tutoring you can charge by the hour, or better yet get people to sign up for a couple of weeks and pay you up front!

#36 – Personal Training

Are you a fan of fitness? People are more likely to spend money on a personal trainer they like than a gym membership. So, design a fitness programme on what your client’s goals and desires are and go from there! I know a guy who does personal training on the side and earns $80,000 a year!

#37 – IT Support

I am useless with my computer, but I got a guy who is based remotely always helps me with my computer problems. If you are good with IT you can earn good money putting computers together, removing viruses, or just setting up people’s office or home computer systems!

#38 – Music Lessons

I was taught guitar by a great guy who did it as a side hustle for 20 years! He was such a good teacher and so likeable I recommended him to all my friends who wanted to learn to play as well. If you are good at an instrument and love music start offering lessons and charge by the hour!

#39 – DJ

Do you love to DJ? Let me blow your mind, you can DJ for parties, weddings, functions, BBQ’s, graduations, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, festivals and so much more! One of my best friends does this as his full-time job and earns a staggering $100,000 a year! Also that does not even count the tips he makes on his gigs too! Love music? Start DJing today!

#40 – Car Repairs

Near my house is a guy who absolutely loves cars, so much so whenever something goes wrong, we always pay him for his services with our cars. If you are good with cars, you can be the handyman for people’s cars. Most mechanics are scam artists and charge too much, therefore people will be more inclined to pay someone they trust for minor repair jobs than be ripped off!

#41 – Extra in Movies

Want to star in a movie? Well you can by becoming an extra! In terms of how much do extras get paid; it will depend on the project. Obviously, bigger productions pay more, and low-budget films will pay less if anything. The standard pay is usually about 100-150 per day!

#42 – Modelling

Are you good in front of a camera? Consider offering your services as a model! Depending on how big the gig is, you can earn a fortune from this on the side! By the way models are needed for almost everything. I know a hand model who just takes photos for watch companies who earns $50,000 a year!

#43 – Consulting

I offer consulting services for businesses, brands and individuals looking to grow their social media and make more of an impact online. If you are an expert in any field, you can become a consultant. Just as an example, I once got paid $500 for half a day’s work discussing SEO with a client!

#44 – Personal Shopping

Love shopping? Become a personal shopper today! Believe it or not some personal shopper services charge a percentage of what the merchandise costs, or they may charge by the hour. If you become good at it, you can earn a total yearly pay ranging from $23,000 to $76,000!

#45 – Pet Sitting

Do you love pets? People who travel a lot need someone to look after their dogs and cats all the time. So, like a babysitter you can pet sit and earn a really good income! You can charge by the hour, by the day or however you like! People will more likely leave their pets with people they trust over kennels etc.

Why Should I Start a Podcast

Why Should I Start a Podcast

When I first discovered radio as a kid, I always wanted to be a radio host.

It still is a dream of mine, however I would love to be a radio host for either a talk radio station or even a jazz music station.

I always thought I had the perfect voice for radio, and I just found it way less intimidating than being a television host.

But I digress.

My point is, Radio is more popular than ever before.

And with that the podcast has grown in popularity.

For those who do not know, what exactly is a podcast?

A podcast is a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new instalments of which can be received by subscribers automatically.

Originally starting on just iTunes, Podcasts are now readily available on Spotify, YouTube and even people’s personal blogs and websites.

When we think of Podcast we think of Joe Rogan, who is somewhat of a podcasting pioneer.

By initially interviewing people over skype, Rogan has now grown to millions of subscribers and listeners to the point where he has now signed a rumoured $100 million exclusive contract to host his show on Spotify.

Now whilst we all want to be as successful as Joe Rogan, everybody is different.

We are not all comedians, or perhaps we do not have the same studio access that he does.

Yet, it really has never been a better time to start a podcast.

I started mine during the lockdown in April 2020.

I always wanted to start one, just I just never had the confidence.

Now I look back and am so glad that I started it, and if you want to check out my podcast I will leave a link to them or search “The Lockdown Show Podcast,” and you’ll be able to find it.

So, if you are reading this and thinking “I want to start a podcast,” my answer to you is you absolutely should!

You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Podcasting changed my life for my brand and of course for me personally.

And if you are willing to go all in on it, you will be amazed by what you can achieve!

Here are 5 reasons why you should start a podcast today:

#1 – It Is Simple to Do!

If you don’t want to get into the full technical side of doing a podcast, re converting files into an mp3 so they appear on iTunes I got the easiest system for you!

Step one set up a YouTube channel, its free and easy to do.

Step two name your podcast lets call it the “Simple Podcast.”

Step three get yourself an affordable microphone and a webcam.

Step four write what your show will be about.

Step five hit record, and you got yourself a show!

Hold on if you want to have a guest on your show?

And what if they live far away?

Easy, first sign up to skype.

Either do a video call or a skype audio call.

And there is a button where you can press named “start recording.”

And skype will record the entire conversation for as long as you want and then you save the video as a desktop.

And boom you got yourself a video for your podcast.

Then upload it to YouTube and you got episode one of your podcast!

It could not be easier!

#2 – It Does not Cost Much!

All you are going to really need is a microphone.

And sorry I am not one of those guys who recommends microphones and uses amazon affiliates.

My recommendation is to go onto the web and search for the most affordable and effective one to suit your needs.

You will obviously need a laptop or computer too.

Most of these also come with a webcam if you want to record yourself on the podcast.

But other then that and the Wi-Fi, you are not paying for much else!

So imagine being able to have effectively your own radio show where you can discuss and do whatever you want, and its cost you hardly anything!

Therefore people all over the globe are doing podcasts because the set-up costs were minimal.

And for me, I already had all the stuff I needed from my YouTube channel.

You do NOT need the top of the range gear, and you do not need to spend loads of money.

Please do not spend over the odds!

Just learn and research the essentials you need and go from there!

#3 – To Build an Audience

My podcast is called “The Lockdown Show,” and while we talk about so many different subjects my initial hook was to ask how people reacted to the lockdown and the virus.

And with that the guests I had on my shows all had large and different audiences from all over the world.

Basically, I was building an audience without realizing it!

That is exactly what will happen to you and your podcast.

You will build and expand an audience, and with that more people from all walks of life if they like you and your show will subscribe and suddenly you got yourself an admirer of your content!

One of my guests was the fantastic author Tom Evans, and he told me about a phrase called “narrowcasting.”

BBC and CNN are broadcasters, but Podcasters are narrowcasters.

Basically, although you do not have millions of listeners, your listeners and audience love you for your work and the content and value you provide.

And once you build up a tribe of followers, you will see enormous growth!

Building an audience who love what you do is one of the most rewarding things in life.

#4 – Networking

I have spoken to the most incredible people on my Podcast.

Professors, Doctors, Actors, Comedians, Scientists you name it!

All amazing people who had the time to dedicate to speak to little old me.

And if it were not for my podcast, I would have had no chance to ever speak to them at all.

One of my favourite shows is HBOs “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and in Season 3 there was a hilarious character called “Krazee Eyez Killa,” played by the versatile actor Chris Williams.

Long story short I reached out Chris Williams (I had never met him or spoken to him before), and asked if he would consider appearing on my podcast.

To my amazement he said yes, and suddenly I am talking to a guy I never thought in a million years I would have ever spoken to.

My point being is podcasting opened so many doors for me, and if you work hard on building a following and are patient, you will be amazed with who you will speak to!

#5 – It’s Fun!

I have learnt so much from the guests on my podcast, and I have even laughed a fair deal.

But also, in what was a difficult time during the lockdown, the podcast I started was a shining light for me.

Podcasting is SO much fun, honestly, I absolutely love it.

From the interviews, to the conversations to the learning, the stories the information, all of it!

It has been truly one of the greatest experiences of my life, and one of the best decisions I ever made starting it.

Also use me as your inspiration, if you always wanted to start a podcast do it today!

There is nothing stopping you, and who knows where it may take you in the long run!

How to Get 100 Subscribers on YouTube 2021

How to Get 100 Subscribers on YouTube 2021

This post is about how to get 100 subscribers on YouTube in 2021

Starting on YouTube is not easy, and getting your first 100 subs can be really daunting, however I show you legit ways in how I achieved this!

“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”

You may or may not know this but SCG SHOW is my 6th YouTube channel I’ve attempted to make in the last 5 years.

And the previous ones I have failed so badly with them all.

Why?

Because I didn’t know what I was doing, or how I was doing it.

It is really easy to get swept up in the whole YouTube channel dream.

You think that you are going to become this millionaire with 1 million subs to go with it.

But then all of a sudden you upload what YOU believe to be great content, and nobody views it or even cares what you are doing!

What is worse is you keep looking at your subscriber number, and it drives you bloody crazy!

Suddenly those far of dreams of being a millionaire and a huge YouTube star seem very far away.

Instead your goals become way more realistic, aka “I just want 100 subs!

Well I am here to tell you it is entirely possible to hit that number, and smaller goals often lead to bigger ones.

Focus on these type of targets instead.

It will also give you the confidence and belief that you are in fact on the right track if you think this way instead.

Also, I want to make a disclaimer, I grew to over 100 subs in 28 days ENTIRELY ORGANICALLY.

So if you are looking for a black hat or dodgy service this post and advice is NOT for you.

DON’T BUY SUBS

DON’T BUY VIEWS

This will I guarantee HURT your YouTube channel in the long run.

Google is not fond of any dodgy services coming your way, so I suggest you stay as far away from it as possible!

Here is a screen shot of my results.

As you can see over the last 28 days of January 2020 I have grown over 111 subscribers!

Also my views are massively up as well.

The following tips may go against what many other YouTubers may stress, however this is what worked for me and at such rapid speed.

In fact I was monitoring another YouTube channel since the first week of January 2020, and they have over 1,000 subs!

So whoever is telling you it’s hard to grow on YouTube or takes too much time;

DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM!

The first tip I would strongly suggest you do is to upload daily for at least 30 days.

Let us work out a simple equation;

30 videos = 30 more possible views a day.

30 views a day x 30 days in a month = 900 views.

900 views x 10% of viewers subscribe = 90 more subs.

New YouTubers are often so lazy, they upload 2-3 views in their first month and are bummed out that they have no activity on their channel.

In December 2019, YouTube channels grew a whopping 20% on average more so than in any other year beforehand.

Why you ask?

Because of a little thing called Vlogmas.

Vlogmas is uploading daily Vlogs for the whole of December aka 30/31 days.

By doing this the channels grow massively, and those who are indeed monetized earn some serious adsense revenue!

Now I don’t Vlog, but I upload daily my thoughts and opinions on the subjects I want to talk about on my show.

I would suggest you start Vlogging from today for 30 days straight, but before you do, make sure you have a plan.

So get a diary and a calendar out and write continuously all of the subjects and videos you are going to write about over the next month.

It is VERY important to have a plan, and to be disciplined.

On top of that, the more vidoes and content you create, the more over the next few months organically your stuff will be shown and suggested.

Luckily for me, I ranked halfway through January because YouTube recognized I was more active and the site favours those who work hard and provide more value.

So start vlogging ASAP!

The reason why I suggest Vlogging is because you don’t need to go buy expensive equipment to start filming.

All you need is your smart phone and you are good to go!

Now I don’t Vlog, but I upload daily my thoughts and opinions on the subjects I want to talk about on my show.

As you do this, remember you need an eye catching thumbnail for people to click on.

I will let you in on a secret here, the more click through you get on your videos, the higher YouTube will rank your video!

And the higher you rank the more views you get, and subs at the same time.

So work hard, find good images, create catchy titles and for god’s sake be clickbait!

It doesn’t matter if others don’t tell you to, I do, and please use Canva.com it’s free for you to create thumbnails!

The last suggestion is use SEO – Search Engine Optimization.

Remember your tags and titles are absolutely vital and of course you’re content too.

You do NOT want to make a video not related to the title and tags.

This will hurt your reach and subs, trust me on this you need to get this right.

And above all this is also so vital but be patient.

I am truly blessed and lucky to have had such quick growth, but frankly I have worked my butt off.

If you want to grow quickly on YouTube you need to have the guts and mental strength to be beyond patient.

Be prepared to see NO activity for quite some time.

But over time if you upload for 30 days, and with good thumbnails with excellent SEO attached, it is a mixture for success I guarantee you.

On top of that spread your content everywhere, start a Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook and even a blog like I did.

This is only going to help you with your exposure, and Google and YouTube likes good quality link building.

What’s more your content COULD go viral on YouTube, so what are you waiting for?

Good luck!

Legit Ways To Make Money Online 2021

In these uncertain times, this is how to earn a second income! All of these are legal, safe and just require some hard work!

“The more you learn, the more you earn”

There are plenty of internet gurus out there telling people how lavish their lifestyles are etc, but they are rarely actually giving helpful tips into how to make money online!

Making money online is easy for some but difficult for many.

They are lazy, lack the knowledge, or are trying to scam people into purchasing a course that just upsells them continuously.

I am here to let you know that there are actually legitimate ways for you to make money online and passively depending on how you set this up.

I have had personal experience in all I have suggested and have made money through all of the following methods.

So rest assured you are in good hands, and do not worry you will not be signing up to any course or any upsell.

These are all legitimate and established websites where you can start earning from within the hour.

But full disclosure here, I am not a financial advisor, if you are seeking more professional advice please reach out the right people.

I am just a guy who has made a living online for the last ten years, and will hopefully continue to do so.

There is no limit to what you can achieve online, the internet is constantly expanding and growing.

With hard work and determination you can earn money online, and the secret is to also have multiple sources of income.

“Do not put all your eggs into one basket.”

Let’s begin:

ETSY▶️

I have done a post on Etsy previously and simply put it is a fantastic way to make money online if you possess any artistic skill at all.

“Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and craft supplies.

These items fall under a wide range of categories, including jewellery, bags, clothing, home décor and furniture, toys, art, as well as craft supplies and tools.

eBay ▶️

Dropshippers on eBay in 2019 alone made over 6 figures selling such random stuff online!

But if you prefer going for a more legal and legit approach you have several options.

One is similar to Etsy and it is to create your own handmade goods, as eBay has millions of buyers every single day.

Another approach is to partner up with exclusive companies who do not sell online and act as their reseller.

This won’t count as dropshipping because you are the exclusive contact and these companies might sell high ticket items which you can make a huge profit off of!

Simply put their items on eBay and put a nice margin on top, then when orders come in use the money from the customer to pay for the item from the supplier and you’ve just made a tidy sum!

It’s THAT easy!

I made several thousand doing this in Q4 2019, and I was selling handmade goods I was making for the Xmas rush!

Do not underestimate eBay!

Kindle ▶️

I first published my book in 2017 on Amazon here.

Easily one of the best achievements of my life, and if you consider yourself a writer you can publish your book on there too!

It can be about anything you want, just make sure it’s not too graphic and goes with Amazons policies and terms.

So when you publish your book onto Amazon, it can be either for Kindle or Paperback.

I strongly recommend you opting for both!

Since doing so, I receive a commission for every book I sell, it is so easy.

But I worked VERY hard on writing, editing and publishing, but depending on how quickly you can write, you can write several books a year!

3 years later people still buy my book and I earn commissions for it, so get your typewriter out and start writing!

Clickbank ▶️

Clickbank is very simply a marketplace of digital products from all sorts of niches and backgrounds.

It is totally legit, and safe.

Here is the best part, every time you make a commission from someone buying a product from your affiliate link provided by Clickbank, you get it paid into your bank account within the next week!

On top of that, some products have recurring programs, so if you get 10 people to sign up to a $100 program, you make $1000 a month literally by doing nothing.

Clickbank is fantastic and has made plenty of millionaires over the years.

I remember going to the movies with my girl, and coming out 2 hours later to login to Clickbank to find I had made $250 off a product I had linked weeks ago on a forum for weight loss.

That is the power of passive income!

Fiverr ▶️

Fiverr is a marketplace for online services such as make a logo design, provide a professional voiceover, and so much more.

Don’t be misled by the name, you can charge whatever you like for your services!

I used to make so much off of Fiverr when it first launched by just providing voiceover work because I had a British accent!

Do not waste time, if you have a specific skill check out Fiverr today!

Coaching ▶️

Online Coaching has made the likes of Sam Ovens and plenty more multi-millionaires.

Because people will pay top dollar for advice on things they do not know the answers too.

Now please be legit, do not say you are an expert on something and not provide value.

I provide Coaching on what I am an expert in, and I back it up with evidence and proof.

So perhaps you are great at giving advice on relationships, or marriage or health.

Get your brand name out there, build a following and people will eventually if they like what you are offering in terms of content will start to become regular clients of your Coaching services.

Shopify ▶️

Shopify is a subscription to a software service that offers you to create a website and use their shopping cart solution to sell, ship and manage your products.

Using their service, you can get an access to easy to use admin panel where you can add products, process orders and enter store data.

Shopify is an easy way to create your own online store and sell whatever it is you want.

Pick a niche, design it easily with Shopify, and start marketing it out there.

Be wary of gurus telling you how much they make from Shopify, do your own research.

Shopify is just a software service, you have to drive your own traffic to it and grow it yourself.

For a free trial to Shopify click here.

Print on Demand ▶️

Print on demand, as the word explains, these are sites where printing is done in small quantities based on the order.

Unlike publishing houses and garment companies which print books or apparels in bulk; print on demand sites & services are more customer need based.

Print on demand has made more millionaires in the last 24 months than almost any other making money online idea.

I sell my own merchandise on Teespring here.

There is no stock for me to hold, and I get a cut of every Print on demand product sold!

So if you fancy yourself a designer, start creating gear and on Teespring today, just make sure it’s nothing copy written!

Social Media Adspace ▶️

Now the last way is to sell Social Media Adspace on your accounts.

I know somebody who has over 50,000 followers on their Instagram page, and he charges $100 for companies or brands to place their url in his description.

So if you have a big following start selling your ad space!

People make over six figures annually by just doing this as they have huge followings to allow them to.

You can do the same, or if you don’t have a large amount of followers spend one year posting consistently every day and you will get results I swear!

How To Make Money on Etsy 2020

How to Make Money on Etsy (My Proof of Earnings!)

Exactly a year ago to the day, I decided to start selling on Etsy!

For those of you who do not know what Etsy is:

Etsy is an e-commerce website focused on handmade or vintage items and craft supplies. These items fall under a wide range of categories, including jewellery, bags, clothing, home décor and furniture, toys, art, as well as craft supplies and tools. All vintage items must be at least 20 years old.

As somebody who has a background in making money online, starting on Etsy still was no easy feat.

Yet I set myself a target of focusing in 2019 to build up my store and my brand on the platform.

What I did initially was research exactly what I could do to sell on there.

I had a tiny bit of experience previously with selling on eBay and Amazon, but Etsy seemed most intriguing to me.

My background was digital marketing and I considered myself a bit of an artist, so it looked like a lot of fun!

With that said, I decided to start selling art printables on Etsy.

Art printables are like pieces of artwork that I create on Photoshop or Canva and they are digital products that customers can download and print for themselves.

Take this for example:

So this delightful little fellow is a piece of art I created, and therefore, when somebody purchases this art printable through Etsy, they will immediately receive the PDF and PNG files.

That means, they will receive with no watermark the original print that they can get framed, enlarge, or place wherever they like!

That is why I worked hard to create over 1000 different types of prints, artwork, typography and similar digital products.

Here are the statistics for my first year:

So as you can see for the last 12 months or so I averaged over 29,000 visitors directly to my Etsy store!

I found that to be incredibly impressive, seeing that I was not established, and completely brand new with no reputation.

In that time frame I managed to make over 361 sales, but the actual figure is 375 sales!

This is because Etsy doesn’t factor in the stats people buying more than one product which a handful did.

My conversion rate was 1.2% which I believe again is excellent especially for a brand new store!

And finally my revenue was £2,982!

Not bad for year one, considering that art prints do not have any expenses!

That’s what I loved about creating them, is that they are pure profit.

Having said that, my biggest expense of course was the time and energy spent creating them all.

However, I was happy because I averaged a sale a day, and that was my target and the beautiful thing about Etsy is that it can be passive!

But remember you don’t have to just sell art printables, you can sell handmade jewellery, vintage clothing, bracelets, and stickers whatever you like!

Let’s have a look in a bit more detail my statistics!

So Etsy sent me 71% of my traffic over the past 12 months which is pretty awesome!

That means that through their search, their front page, and recommended, my products were ranking and getting a lot of traction!

In case you didn’t know as of December 2019, Etsy received almost 229 million visitors!

A large majority of Etsy’s users and customers are in fact female, with money to burn!

So if you create the right products for the right customers you will see some excellent returns indeed.

The remaining 29% of my traffic came from direct.

To this day I am not really too sure what direct traffic meant, seeing that I have only just created SCGSHOW.COM in early 2020, so who knows I am not complaining!

And the 1,384 came from social and that was mainly from my Pinterest.

I managed through hard work, patience and determination to build my Pinterest monthly impressions to over 50,000 per month in my first year!

That means 50,000 different people every month are seeing my pins, and products!

Pinterest is in fact the 3rd largest search engine on the web, after Google and YouTube.

And, Pinterest also has a large audience of female buyers who earn on average over $50,000 per year.

Shop owners and Etsy sellers have realized this and capitalized on this massively.

Do not worry it is not too late to start at all!

This is PlannerKate1 who sells sets of stickers on Etsy for around £4.80 per set.

She has been on Etsy for almost 6 years, and has made over a staggering 860,000 sales!

That means her turnover is easily over £4,000,000!

Just from selling stickers on Etsy!

Think about potentially what you can make if you work hard, market yourself and put out the best products you can!

Whilst my Etsy earnings are not massive right now, what I love about it the most is it purely passive.

So every time an art printable of mine is sold, the profit goes straight into my account.

I had sacrificed the blood, sweat and tears starting from absolutely zero to build a reputation.

But my goal doesn’t have to be the same as yours of course!

If you want, you can go full time on Etsy, but you got to be able to do the work.

You must network with the right people.

Be willing to advertise everywhere.

Become a master at SEO.

Understand that success takes a lot of time.

However as you can see from plannerkate or a complete beginner like me it IS possible to make money on Etsy!

What I love is having been able to create artwork and prints that I could be proud of, and I am happy to admit people were satisfied with the services I provided.

Yet there are people out there making over 1000 sales a day due to millions of visitors Etsy receives on a monthly basis!

Don’t wait until Etsy becomes the next Amazon, and it is beyond competitive to get your foot in the door!

Start now, and please feel free to share your stores below and good luck in your ecommerce journey!
