1. This is one of my favorite topics “Earn Money Online”, and who would not love it.
Everyone wants to earn money.
Okay, look.
Let me give you a disclaimer, I am not going to share my income and earning. I am not here
to make you feel “HOPEFUL” for 3 mins and get you lost in the sea of bombarded content.
Now, if you are thinking.
Why should you be reading this?
What are you going to get out of it?
So, let me tell you this.
Here, you are going to know about 9 things that you can do to earn money online.
So let's see them one by one.
----------------- Content Writing ----------------
This always remains my favorite. I have been writing something or the other for the last 8
years. Majorly;
=> Business plan.
=> Sales plan.
=> Marketing Plan.
2. => Blog.
=> Articles.
=> Newsletters.
=> Stories.
And, if you are someone with knowledge in any specific topic or area, I would recommend
you to start writing and publishing it.
You can publish your write ups in the form of
=> Blog post.
=> Article.
=> Case study.
=> Research paper.
=> Journals.
And publish it on;
=> Quora.
=> Medium.
=> Blog.
=> Websites.
How to make money out of it?
Do this;
{A}. Write a sample content on any topic (Maximum of 300 words).
{B}. Send it to 10 people on linkedin. These people should be a digital marketer and/or
content marketer, working with some company who may need your work.
{C}. You can charge as little as 10 paise/word to any amount.
In the beginning, I would suggest you write some free stuff and get feedback. People will
give you a job based on the quality of content and your pricing. But hey, do not underprice
yourself.
3. ----------------------- Quora -----------------------
There are 2 ways you can make money from Quora.

have a quora account and ask questions. Quora pays you money for the
engagements that you bring to quora through your questions. Quora now has also
started paying money to space owners as well. This is one of the easiest ways to
make money.

more than 300 Million plus monthly active users. You can be a seller for both B2B
and B2C. I am generating leads for content writing, social media marketing and
website development services. Quora has a very rich organic reach and it helps you
in reaching a wider audience. Quora has a far more mature audience as against
other platforms.
