1
Writing
This, while not the easiest way to make money, offers great benefits to other jobs online. One of these being, you don't have to always be online to accomplish this. You can write your projects and edit them, then you can send them to be published or whatever your plans our.
In some cases, however you must be online, if you are a free lance writer trying to find people to work for. In this case, as it should make sense by the name of this blog post, you need to be online.

Website Monetization
Website ad revenue is used by almost every website out there these days. Does this mean that it lowers the chances of becoming successful at this because of all the competition. No, not at all. In fact, it raises your chances.
Internet explorers are now used to having ads all over their browser when shopping, browsing, entertaining themselves, or whatever the case may be. It isn't something new to them. People will not leave your site because of ads. They might even see a site without ads as unprofessional.
Making a living off of this is totally achievable if you generate enough traffic to your site. All you need is at least 10,000 views a day, a domain name, and a website, of course. Then from there you need to hook up your account with google ad sense.
It may be a good idea to know the basic knowledge of HTML and CSS in order to be able to maintain your website.

I think you should find this method quite fulfilling, in the long run and with some work, a possible financial aid to your career.

YouTube Monetization
This, in my mind is the best way to make money. That is only because it is what i enjoy doing. While lower YouTuber's don't make much ad revenue off of this plan, those who are higher up can make thousands! Channels like Smosh, Film Riot, Corridor Digital, Freddie W, and others can be making large sums of money from their hard work.
This brings up another point. This isn't the easiest way to make money either. Just like most of these examples as well as most jobs, it requires hard work to be made possible. You don't just make a YouTube account and all of a sudden have thousands of subscribers following your videos. You have to grow your audience then work towards becoming great, all the while making high quality content for the people you are recruiting.
So no the easiest, but still has potential as a career.

Instagram Sponsorship's
Instagram is a place to post pictures and that is about it, right? Wrong. While that is Instagram's main purpose you can also become a sponsored user.
How do you do this? It is easy, first you need to gain at least 5,000 dedicated followers that view and like your content. Next you sign with a business that wants advertisement.
Here are a couple to look for:
Share Sale
This website will help you find companies that will sponsor you.
Like To know
In most cases this is for people with fashion content on their Instagrams
Tap Influence
Tap Influence is another great place to go when looking for companies
IFluenz
A handy website for getting sponsors.

Selling your Products
Selling your projects can be a great a way to increase your finances. It all starts with a product that you want to sell.
Pick something you would like to sell that you can make or obtain relatively cheaply. If you know you can make profit off of it without it being cheap then you will need to start with a bigger budget.
There are places such as:
Amazon
Etsy
Ebay
Your Website (If you have one)
You can become a seller on one of these platforms and work your way to the top. Then you can be making upwards of two thousand dollars a month. This, however will take a lot of work and will need to patience before it can happen. If you would like more details on this in the future I will do a more detailed blog or an update dealing with each one individually.

Blogging
Blogging is one of the best ways to make money. I would rank it in the top three because of how much fun it is in ratio with the amount of work that will be needed to get successful.
If you like sitting on your computer for hours on end then this job might be for you.
When doing this you will need to first gain an audience. Pick what you will be blogging about. When you find your content then you can become known on social media.
Twitter-Post daily updates
Instagram-Post daily pictures of your status Facebook-Make a Facebook page and start advertising yourself
When you make a fan base you will be able to grow your blog extremely quickly. You will, however, need to have a consistent blog post schedule as you would have on YouTube. Try something around weekly or if this is all you are working on, make daily content. Because you must realize chances of being noticed are slim until you reach around ninety blog posts.

Build up a company or small business
Making a small business can be a difficult task. You need to plan what it will be about, how you are going to get noticed, and many other stressful things.
This, if implemented right can become a career. If you find out something people want or need and make a business revolving around it then you can build a website and start selling your product.
This can be:
Stock footage
Random trinkets
Tech
Toys
Music
Movies
Sound FX
Whatever it may be, make a site, advertise your product, make money. Sounds simple right? But it really is tricky trying to find that perfect nitch for selling.

Programming
Something that is really useful to know right now is coding.
JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are the most critical languages to know if you are doing something online. But, knowing other languages can also get you jobs elsewhere.
Places to learn code:
9
Take paid surveys
Taking surveys can be a little boring, but what if you can make some profit off of it? Of course, it wont make much, but it can get you a little extras pocket change. It can help you with gas money. And all you need is a connection to the internet, a cheap computer or phone and some free time.
Take some boring surveys and make some extra cash!
Another thing you can do is survey someones website who wants to see how people are navigating the website. You can get up to $15 a site.

Make The Next big App
The last thing on the list of great strategies to greatness. Make a game. If you create the next great game you would have the opportunity to either monetize or sell your game.
There are a couple of things that you need to know before doing this though. Like how much it will cost to put it on each platform and what engine you will be using to make it.
Game Engines
Unity-Used to be only for indie game devs starting out but now it has increased its possibilities and become better. Now there are actual studios that are using its uses. I would rate the new unity experience a 4/5.
Unreal Engine 4 Development Kit-Unreal engine has always been at the top of game development. Lately, though they have been getting even better. Updating their features was only part of the action. They have upgraded their graphic quality to overthrow Unity in the long run. I would rate this as 4/5. It is easy to use along with it fantastic graphics. The unfortunate thing is that they will ask for a portion of profits.
Cry Engine Development Kit-This game engine has been used to create the cry engine series as the name suggests. It has fantastic graphics and supports most languages used for coding. In my opinion it is one of the best. Overall I would rate it a 4/5. The unfortunate thing is that they will ask for a portion of profits.
LumberYard
"Amazon Lumberyard is a free, cross-platform, 3D game engine for you to create the highest-quality games, connect your games to the vast compute and storage of the AWS Cloud, and engage fans on Twitch. Includes full source." -Amazon
As you read above it is a free game engine that is amazing! It is completely free, which is unbelievable. It has fantastic graphic quality and gives you the ability to create a fully functional game. Amazon will not ask for a portion of profits and will give you everything that is ever needed. I am truly excited to make my next game on here and can't wait to delve into the awesomeness!!! i would rate this a 5/5 because of all of the features it offers. It is completely free, offering all your needs. This engine is fully functional and takes no royalty.
You will also need to know where and how to publish your game...
