There’s a significant number of ways that you can make money on Amazon you can do it by publishing a simple Kindle eBook.

Start by identifying niches on the Kindle marketplace that have more demand than they have supply. Then write a short and simple concise kindle eBook and actually capitalize on that by selling it for $5 or $10 but once you start to get 50 or 100 sales a month, then you can make a significant amount of passive income with no additional work.

There are so many other ways to make money on Amazon; with Amazon wholesale, FBA, fulfillment by Amazon, creating your own private label brand.

You can make money through the Amazon Associates Program which is the largest affiliate program in the entire world.

Go to YouTube right now and type in ‘the top 10 best DSLR cameras’, you’ll see hundreds of videos and the reason that they’re doing that is because they’re actually linking their affiliate links and then every time somebody watches that YouTube video clicks one of their links Amazon will actually give them 8 to 15% of each of those sales.

 

Market Clickbank Products/Services

Clickbank is it’s one of the largest affiliate networks in the world what this means is there’s thousands of people out there who put their products or service or courses on to Clickbank and then affiliate marketers will promote those courses and then they get paid every single time somebody makes a sale.

You can still promote in a free way by creating Instagram pages or making YouTube videos about the products/software.

 

Creat a Course With Udemy

It is one of the largest digital course marketplaces. They have courses about everything; you can get courses about coding, how to speak a new language, Amazon and everything that you could possibly think of. Discover Udemy’s featured courses!

Walk Dogs with Rover

 

make money working dogs

Are you a dog lover? Rover gives you the opportunity of getting paid to do what you enjoy; taking care of people’s dogs while they go on vacation or work trip.

A lot of people don’t want to take their dogs to more expensive kennels where their dog is just with a bunch of other dogs and not necessarily treated that well so they’d rather take it to a specific person who loves dogs.

You can make an extra $200 just to babysit awesome cute cuddly dogs for a night and I would honestly do that for free in most cases, unfortunately, Rover is only available in the US and in Canada for now.

 

Teach anything with Take Lessons

 

Take lessons is a website where you give lessons to people about what you know how to do.

If you know how to play a musical instrument, you know how to do math really well, you know a lot about geography or English or any number of things you can get paid to tutor people in the skill sets that you personally have.

 

Online Flipping

Online flipping as we’ve talked about a number of times in a number of different articles I’ve written, but it’s a really good way to start making money with zero money to start right.

How this works is you go on websites like Craigslist and filter to the free section or Facebook marketplace and find highly valuable items like appliances or sporting equipment or things that you know you can actually sell.

Then you take better pictures and you relist those same products that you actually got for free for 40 bucks 50 bucks or even $100

You can also list them on sites like eBay, Etsy and Amazon and sell them.

You will start to earn a significant amount of money doing that because if you get those products for free when people are moving and just want to get rid of their stuff and you sell it for anything then it’s a 100% profit.

 You can then reinvest into more full-time income streams like Amazon or social media marketing

 

Upwork and Fiverr

You can sign up as a Virtual Assistant or a secretary or an executive assistant and do customer service or whichever duties the person who hires you needs you to do.

If you have more specialized skills like a software developer or you can create websites you can go ahead and create a gig on Fiverr or list those skills on Upwork and you can start to become a freelancer where you’re able to work from home doing the things that you want to do and have more financial freedom and time.
