We all are affected by the pandemic, and it wouldn't hurt to make some extra cash online. A lot of these make money online/passive income articles repeat the same points — YouTube, Freelancing, Medium. Let’s take a step further.
Just remember that you will have to put in the work in these methods, and it does not guarantee success. These methods require a unique set of skill sets, so choose a few of them based on what you are comfortable with.
There are no ‘get rich quick’ schemes
If you put in the work, remain patient, and try 5–10 times, you can make a lot of money. There is no exact figure, but to keep you excited, let’s say between $10k — $200k.
I know the range is too vague, but you will see why.
You can create themes/templates for websites, broachers, social media posts, ebooks, and the list goes on.
It is one of the best ways to make passive money online. You can create a few themes and tweak them to make even more themes. You just need to be creative on how you can reuse your work.
You can sell your themes on websites such as Creative Market, Theme Forest, and Template Monster.
You can literally make over $1,000,000 from one theme — yup, that’s a million. People have done it, and it is rare, but there is no reason you can’t too.
Of course, you will have to market it, and at first, you will earn $0.00. But with enough patience and consistency, you can make a considerable amount of money. It is one of the best ways to make passive income.
Keep in mind, there is a learning curve to it. You can’t expect anything if you don’t deliver what customers want. You need to know about design, designing software, and HTML/CSS if you want to build websites.
3D printing is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry and now anyone can be a manufacturer. You just need a 3D printer, some technical knowledge, and you are good to go.
I believe everyone should own a 3D printer and this is because you can create products that not available in the market, you can make replacement parts the manufacturer of some products may not sell, and you can sell all of them without much hassle.
Once you have an idea, you can print-on-demand and sell it on Amazon, sell 3D designs online, sell these designs to a manufacturer, or provide 3D printing services to others.
