1. Blogging:
One of the best ways to make money online is through a blog, you can create one for basically free using blogger.com and start writing articles about an specific niche that you like the key is writing high quality content so that people keep coming back for more. You can generate income by placing google ads on the blog which is very easy to set up because blogger belongs to google or by doing affiliate marketing which is the best way to make money online for beginners almost no skills required. Blogger is a very simple web development platform that's why is free therefore it has some limitations so as your blog grows you should consider switching to Wordpress to create a new blog similar to the one you already had or maybe even wix if you're on a budget, you can even higher someone to create the website or blog thanks to one of the other entries on this list fiverr, affiliate marketing applies to websites too so you can create an online business and direct your traffic towards that website where you have the affiliate links. Note: It takes time to build a following on your blog but once you have an large audience the potential is limitless. Best part is you can work from anywhere.
2. Writing an Ebook:
This one obviously requires some amount of skill as writing isn't for everyone but if you have something you want to talk about or there is a specific niche where you feel you are very knowledgeable then similar to the blog what you can do is write short ebooks which stands for electronic book it can be a printed book converted to an digital format or a book written specifically to be read on a computer or mobile device. It can be 5, 10, 20 pages long as long as you provide good quality it can sell. After finishing it you can hire people to edit, create a cover and convert it to kindle format so you can then proceed to the publishing part. Probably the best platform to publish your ebook is on Amazon Kindle they have a 30 day free trial so you can check it out and see what I'm talking about.
3. Uber
I used to do uber, I did it for about 4 months and I can say it is a really good way to make money is fast and easy the only thing you need is a car from 2009 onwards and that's it. The registration can be done through the uber driver's app or you can go directly to one of their customer service offices near you I personally recommend the latter as this might make the process a lot faster, they do a background check so considering the high demand depending on your location it can take almost a month to finalize the registration. I calculated the per hour income to be around 9 to 11 dollars depending on the day at least in Puerto Rico and that's without taking tips into account, best part is you can work whenever you want and for whatever time you want, no boss required. Keep in mind you're going to be dealing directly with customers all the time so if you don't like dealing with people this isn't for you. If you want to sign up you can use this referral link to start the process uber referral.
4. Fiverr
This is another fairly simple way to make money online, first thing you need to do is find a skill that you have that you know it can be useful for a bunch of other people like for example logo design if you're good at this then you can go to fiverr, which is a freelancing website/app, sign up and start providing people with your service you can charge whatever amount you want starting at 5$. As you get more and more clients your consumer reviews will start piling on so make sure you provide a good service so you get positive reviews this will lead to increased sales. Other services you can provide are:
Writing ebooks or books
Translation and proofreading
Video editing
Website design
Marketing
Web traffic and more
You can sign up for free here fiverr sign up.
5. Robinhood(market trading)
Out of all the options this one probably is the one that requires the most attention to detail as you can lose money by making risky decisions you need to start with a small amount of money so you can learn the ins and outs, also if you want to make a lot of money in the stock market business you need to invest a fairly substantial amount to get a big return. I recommend you go to youtube for free tutorials or buy online courses. Luckily the Robinhood app/website lets you get into stock trading for free I believe this is the only platform doing this right now and all this from the comfort of your phone, other financial service companies can charge up to 15$ dollars per trade it even gifts you one free stock just for signing up, you can refer friends and family so both you and the person you referred get a free stock, you can earn up to 500$ worth of free stocks. Like blogger this is limited platform. Get the free app here: Robinhood download
Conclusion
I've personally tested all this methods so I can tell you it is possible to make money from them you just have to commit to one of them and invest your time and effort, some of them will yield long term results and some of them will earn you some cash immediately pick and choose whichever one suits your set of skills best. Keep in mind in some cases you may have to spend some money on marketing before starting to see any revenue but you can start by marketing the product through your social media, ask your friends and see if they can help you promote the product too. There are tons of other ways to make money you just have to be open minded and make the most important investment which is in yourself. Hope this article was helpful.
