The internet continues to be a great hub for people looking to start their own businesses or side hustles.
How can you get in on this? Even though a lot of us still follow the conventional path of graduating university then proceeding to look for office jobs, there are those who have discovered the magic of the internet. Building a business isn’t easy and entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone but there are a few things that can generate an income for the youth online. If you have a talent or any skill, then the internet is a great place for you to build yourself.
1.Instagram for Fitness
A lot of fitness gurus have found that sharing 1-minute videos of their workout routines can garner huge followings. Because it is visually appealing and the 1 minute limit on videos ensures you keep people’s attention from beginning to end. You can use posts on Instagram stories to bring your passion for healthy living to the masses and make some money while you’re at it. Followers can eventually be converted into bookings for personal training sessions or could grow one’s website as a hub for meal plans and routines.
2.Etsy for Crafts
Esty is a great site where people who are crafty can sell their unique handmade items to people all over the world. If you love making jewelry, mats, clothes and things like that, then you can add Etsy to your repertoire. Using sites like these can help you broaden your reach to audiences that wouldn’t ordinarily see your items on Facebook or Instagram. Widening your target demographic could increase the number of sales you make which means more money in the bank.
3.Upwork for Writing
If working out or making things with your hands doesn’t seem appealing, then maybe creating written content is something that’s more up your alley. Upwork isn’t just for writers though – it’s for freelancers of all kinds. All you have to do is select your areas of expertise and begin bidding for jobs.
4. Shutterstock
This online imaging hub is a great platform for any photographer hoping to make an extra coin. The website allows photographers to upload their images and license them for use by different users. Bought at different rates, depending on the image, a photographer can make up to $120. There are other similar sites including SmugBug Pro and iStock Photo.
