10 ways to make money online in 2021

Wow! What a rollercoaster of a year! 

Making some extra money online is all the rage now that the majority of the population is trapped at home due to the worldwide pandemic!

In this article, we'll look at ten self-sufficient ways to remain afloat in 2021 (and much more!):

1. Teaching English

Do you have a degree in online teaching? Check it out. What is TEFL? Check it out. Do you need to motivate others to learn? If you answered yes to all three, online teaching might be the perfect way for you to supplement your income in 2021. In 2020, with the world in shambles as a result of CoVid19, the online teaching sector has exploded. 

Why not join the bandwagon and operate from the comfort of your own home, with so many modern and immersive platforms to choose from? Salary is determined by factors such as place, nationality, and qualifications.

2. Crafts/online shop

Do you enjoy crafting and are looking for a way to put your skills to use? Why not make money off it? You could make some extra money and show the world what you're capable of by opening an Etsy store, Shopify store, or personal Social Media page. T-shirts, jewelry, scented candles, custom branded home goods, clothes, magnets, stickers, and water bottles are all common crafts.

3. Drop shipping

Drop shipping is a common way to make some extra cash in your spare time. Drop shippers may provide an online shop for consumers to purchase their product, which is then sent on by a third party, eliminating additional brick and mortar costs and leaving the posting and packing to someone else, with low operating costs and no need for storage. Cellphone plushies and pet toys are among the most common products.

4. Cryptocurrency 

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. The Cryptocurrency Environment! Although Bitcoin has been on the rise for some time, there is a slew of other “cryptos” waiting for their big break!

Investing in Cryptocurrencies and watching stocks like Bitcoin, Ripple, and Ethereum grow, then selling for profit, is a simple (and exciting!) way to make money online, with investment starting at as little as the consumer wishes.

5. Copywriting

Copywriting is a multibillion-dollar business dependent on the ability to entice readers with phrases. Isn't it straightforward? Yes, it is! You can become a travelling salesman with just a laptop and your language skills if you are a professional writer with spare time. Copywriters can create content for websites, blogs, goods, and ad boards, among other things.

6. Blogging

Do you have anything insightful to tell about something or somewhere you enjoy (or despise!)? Why don't you start a blog about it? 

Blogging will help you supplement your income by endorsing goods or showing advertisements (possibly the most financially rewarding method) that readers are likely to click on. The more people who click on your link, the more money you can make. Finance, travel, and health and fitness are among the most popular blogs.

7. Affiliate marketing

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Hmm, I should sell that product!"? Get on the affiliate marketing bandwagon, if you haven't already. Affiliate marketing is a common way to earn money on the internet. Affiliate marketers benefit from each sale they make by promoting someone else's product.

8. Amazon sales page

There are many ways to profit from online retailers such as Amazon. They range from private label products (find a product, have it manufactured, and market it under your brand) to retail arbitrage (find a product, have it manufactured, and sell it under your brand) (basically buying up a discounted product at another store and selling it online). The options are (almost) limitless!

9. Build an Educational Course

Websites such as Udemy are inspiring people all over the world to educate themselves on a variety of topics. It also empowers those who have the talent to share. Creating an online course is a perfect way to make money! By reading feedback from other courses, you will get a sense of what people want to learn about and build content that is in high demand. It's simple to promote your course on a platform like Udemy or your profile.

10. Blockchain Marketing

Selling your data to businesses is a fresh and creative way to make extra money through blockchain marketing. It essentially eliminates a third-party company (you know, all those annoying corporations trying to get their hands on your personal information to make money!)

Blockchain Marketing allows you to operate through a Peer-to-Peer network, blocking out big corporations like Google and connecting the advertiser and the user in a more direct way by allowing you to own your data.
