There are several forms of opening an online store:

Utilize Instagram/Facebook

If you want to start with a platform that you are familiar with and simple, you can use Instagram first, because many people use IG to search for products such as clothes, accessories, etc. You have to make good use of the Hashtag feature so that guests can find you.

 E-commerce platform (e-commerce platform) or set up your own website to open a store

The entire sales process is the responsibility of the seller - that is, you are responsible, including finding sources, buying goods, setting up an e-commerce store / setting up a website, placing products on the e-commerce / website, customer ordering, shipping, customer service Wait, in short, the whole process is handled by one hand.

Affiliate Marketing**

Affiliate Marketing - Affiliates Marketing is a very popular method of making money online in foreign countries. Simply put, you recommend a product in an article, and if someone buys the product with the link, you will get a commission. It sounds simple, but it brings a lot of potential benefits and also has a lot of knowledge. It is recommended to learn more and understand affiliate marketing first!

Substantially how?

In fact, you don't need to have a very good camera or film editing skills to start. As long as you are interested, you can shoot with a mobile phone and then use the software built into the computer. It is not too late to get familiar with the skills and then improve the hardware. Start editing and uploading videos to Youtube!

Another very similar method is to operate podcasts. Many creators will share content on online platforms such as Spotify and Anchor, but unlike Youtube, Podcasters will not have platform advertising revenue, mainly through industry cooperation or affiliate marketing. Earning income is difficult.

8. Setting up a personal blog/blog

If you don't like to be on camera, running a blog is for you. In fact, the way to make money is similar to that of Youtube, except that Youtube is video and blog is text. So how can you make money from blogging?

The author has also participated in an online course, if you are interested, you can refer to the experience.

9. Sell eBooks

With the development of the Internet, more and more people will buy e-books, and it is always lighter to carry only a phone than to carry a physical book, which is convenient to read at any time. So if you are interested in writing, whether it is novels, teaching books, essays, etc. can be sold, but generally teaching/information is easier to promote and sell.

Substantially how?

Write a book and convert the text into EPUB → put it on the e-book platform, the platforms for Chinese books include Readmoo, Book Walker, Google Play, KOBO, remember to choose your region (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc.)

10. Create an online course

Roughly the same as selling e-books, share the knowledge resources you have with others through video teaching , Although the preparation of the teaching materials in the early stage will take a lot of time, the time required to be invested will be greatly reduced after the production is completed. As long as you have proper publicity, this can become a long-term income.

If you want to make a small amount of teaching videos at the beginning, you can use Udemy or HAHOW good schools, which are relatively simple but have a high commission rate, but if you want to earn more, you can use Teachable, the commission is only about 0-10%, and the degrees of freedom are all higher.

So how should I start?

Regardless of whether you have a full-time job or not, you are encouraged to engage in "quick money" and "long-term business" at the same time. You can choose 1-2 "quick money" methods, so that you can start online in a relatively short period of time. Although the amount will not be enough for you to quit your regular job, you can use your spare time to make money to improve your quality of life. At the same time, I encourage you to choose a “long-term career” method as soon as possible and start to build it. These five methods may take an average of 6-12 months to establish, but they have great potential. Many people rely on these methods to develop Earn $100,000 a year in 3-5 years, and it can be turned into passive income.

Time is the fairest thing in the world. Whether you use time to watch Netflix or use time to make money, you may not see the difference in the short term, but in 1, 2, and 5 years, you will find a huge difference. come on!
