Hello ladies and gentlemen it’s Darrell the chief blogger here at the cash blog back at you today for a epic share.
It’s a rainy cool 60 degrees here in Iowa. I have been getting hundreds of questions and comments from my readers who are in college asking me “What are the best ways to make Money online ? ” “for them”.
My two kids are grown and long gone,guys I had my first kid at 18 so y’all get the picture. Now I do have two nieces and a nephew who are in college and they are included in the ones asking questions and the reason for this post.
The majority of the information out there regarding making money is mostly fluff. The fact of the matter is most make money online information is written by a writer who only writes for a living. Never by real entrepreneurs that actually make a living from online.
In internet marketing we would say “they don’t drink their own Koolaid.”
The last four years I’ve made a living working from online since Jan 2016 on a full-time basis. I’ve seen the good ,bad and ugly.
In this post guys I have provided you with well researched information you can use and have left out the bad and ugly. I have left out time-wasting programs that will earn you a candy bar and a coupon at the end of the month.

Digital Products

Video
There are several different platforms you can sell video products on and each will give you a different result. If you want to start a video classroom and teach consumers, the most popular video classroom site is Udemy.com.
It’s really a super site that is free to sign up with. I have used this site for both buying and selling video material.
The content and quality of material I have purchased as a customer has been top- notch. The user-friendly platform makes it easy to upload videos even for a non-techie like myself.
The beauty of Udemy and selling digital products online is that the income is passive. Yes, once you are finished making your videos and posting them to the site you no longer have to work on them again.
Think about it while you are in class or even at the soldout football game your income G-R-O-W-S !
Udemy has a flexible pricing structure. Classes can be free or you can charge in the hundreds based on the content.
It is important that the videos you make contain great content ,because customers will review your courses. As reviews go up so will your sales. Hey readers, I recommend you add this revenue stream to your life.
Skillfeed is another video teaching platform that is starting to gain popularity. Although not as popular as Udemy. You get paid based on how popular your content is,which is determined by the total monthly minutes played.
Stone River eLearning
If you are well-versed in computer technology,programming , software training or web design then StoneRiver eLearning might be the perfect place to upload your video classes.
The site allows customers to receive IT certifications. If you are an expert in the technology space, it won’t hurt to post your videos and allow them to grow with Stone River eLearning.

Zenva.com – This site is designed to teach students how to create games and apps. The site is diverse allowing users to create and sell games on the website itself. So far the site has received five-star ratings.

One way many people are making money online with no money down is by selling t-shirts. Yep t-shirts. Sites like cafepress.com and zazzle allow sellers to customize their own t-shirts on the website,open a store and start selling them on the spot.

This can work without spending a dime I started a Twitter page and began to build a following selling my own personal brand just goofing around and it turned into a few hundred dollars a month. Give it a shot y’all. What do you have to lose?
Affiliate Marketing
One of the most profitable and common ways to sell products for free online is through affiliate marketing. The idea and process of affiliate marketing will take three books to explain but I will simplify it so you start to make money today.
The easiest way to make money with affiliate marketing is to sell products that already exist online. By simply signing up for a site’s affiliate program you are given a special link to the website that you can post anywhere.
When someone clicks on the link and makes a purchase on the website you will receive a commission on the sales.
The Top Amazon Sellers Store and my Making Cash Online Bookstore are examples of Amazon affiliate stores. One of the most popular and easiest affiliates to sell items from is Amazon.
The program allows you to sell Amazon products from anywhere and keep 4-9% of all sales you make.
