| How can I make money right now instantly? |
One of the most common questions is how to make money, especially the extra one that would push us to a higher financial level and allow us some things that are unavailable to us.
Many people do their job 9-17 h and after that, they no longer have the energy to do something else, especially if they are parents, so they are expected to engage around the child, dinner and the like. I understand that someone died at 7-8 pm when everything is done, the children are ready for bed… And now you should still do something?
You don’t have to do anything extra. But then don't expect anything extra. But I don’t have a tub next to the kids.
But it is not impossible to work with children and a husband, you will only be more tired.
But how to make money from the couch?
of course not. Sit at the table, open your laptop and dedicate yourself to earning serious money, easy to leave on the couch and you've checked.
As I don't know how to make money in a garage or anything offline, this article is part of the answer to the question How to make money online from Croatia? I will reveal to you some of the ways that work, and it has been proven, whether I make money that way or that I made money, or that some of my friends or colleagues do that.
I have written this text for card media before, but many years have passed since then and I see that I have to update, delete and add a lot because times have changed. Today, it is quite difficult to earn statically, without having to change some things, learn, find new channels.
So I also earned money first in one way online, then in another, then in the third, so now who knows what change is in the market, and I already have a completely new online business in my head.
If you have any of the talents that include writing, photography, counseling, education, or an eye for fashion and a finger for cooking, you have a chance to sit in front of a monitor most of the time and earn a living most of the time.
Don't expect to start making a lot of money now. Some things take between 6 months and 2 years to see the first results.
It takes time to establish yourself as an expert in a particular field. Some of the businesses bring in a small income, but more such small incomes can generate ok income. You will often have to work hard, you will often not see a penny of it at first, so you must do something you normally like so that it is not difficult for you and you do not give up.
1. Work on social networks
The most common fuss on the Internet is to ruin someone's social media profile or to be a community manager. It is also the most sought-after job, along with running Google and Facebook ads.
A community manager is a person in charge of designing and managing communication on social networks for the needs of a brand, but also a famous person.
There is almost no formal education, but specialized workshops can train you in a short time to work on social networks. I've been going with them again since the fall, just to finish my maternity leave, so you can call me for a women's discount.
I suggest that you join some groups of community managers in Croatia, where you can follow the news, but also ads for jobs in this area. As a CM (short name for community manager) you can also work as a freelancer, from home, through a contract or e.g. trades, in which case you have a lot more responsibilities and potential responsibilities as you do not work in a team that can cover you or creates visuals.
Read foreign blogs, watch YouTube tutorials, follow the Content Marketing Institute and download ready-made e-tutorials, follow influencers and try to figure out why they are popular by analyzing their last 50 posts, open test pages, profiles, groups, and don't be ashamed to ask for help.
It is best to practice everything first in your business or from a small entrepreneur who will not be charged for the work, but you will also gain experience and references.
What is extremely important is to be active in the community of other community managers such as the Social Media group, but also digital experts, because now and then an ad appears. If you did something good yourself, brag in the group with a specific explanation, others must see that you know how to work. Be active on LinkedIn as well. I hope you haven’t rolled over now and thought whoever got some work over it? I am, and I am great, in the strongest corporation.
It is important to know the basics of Photoshop, and how larger clients will ask you to create social media plans and reports in Microsoft programs such as Excel and Powerpoint, so MS Office is a must-know software.
Part of the community manager also deals with advertising on Facebook and Instagram and, although as a rule this part is always done by specialized experts, it is good to know at least the basics of advertising, since most of your posts must be advertised in some way. It’s not hard to learn, and without advertising today, anything digital is hard to come by.
Earnings this way can vary, depending on where or for whom you work, what level of knowledge you have, what the client’s budget is, how many clients you have at all, and so on. For example, if you get a job in a large digital agency with a lot of CMs, your salary as a beginner will be quite small (I think now juniors are paid around 4,000 km), while you will receive all the earnings on your own. On the other hand, when you are employed, you have certain security in the form of salary, lack of care for new clients, keeping records, and more.
2. Become a blogger
The Internet has allowed everyone to become writers, journalists, poets, researchers … to create content they know and love to write about. In Croatia, bloggers appeared more than 10 years ago on blogs. hr, and today you can see the then blogging stars as authors of printed books, columnists in leading magazines, famous journalists, editors, presenters, web experts…
Some have successfully sold their blog to large corporations, others have reached the desired audience and contacts through it, and still, others have decided to set up a blog on their domain so that they can make money from ads. The author of this text also had a very popular blog, and through it, she got a great job in the media about 15 years ago. In short, many local bloggers have cashed in on their writing, and with the advent of the trend of gastro, travel, and fashion bloggers, the scene has simply exploded.
We can freely conclude that nowadays the most profitable are gastro and fashion bloggers (together with travel influencers who will have to wait a while for their business to start their business due to the coronavirus situation) through whose pages famous brands and companies place their products and services.
Sometimes it is not even necessary to have a website, for these 3 groups, Instagram is often enough.
For most bloggers, nothing is accidental - because they make a living by posting their sponsor, even if it seemed spontaneous, like a Novalac food box in a seemingly ordinary photo from Elle Dvornik's kitchen with her daughter.
Simply put, companies need objective sources according to their target groups, and bloggers/influencers need money to continue living their dream. The situation is quite mathematically pure and the only one who may be damaged in that mixture is the naive reader who believes in the objectivity of what is seen.
How to become a blogger or influencer?
Open a blog on the blog.hr, blogger.hr, tumblr, blogspot, medium, quori, on your domain. Open a Facebook page and post-travel photos or recipes or something, just find some of your authentic styles, look and post as much as possible, especially stories. Be active every day, comment on others on profiles, and not just by leaving your heart, participate in the community of which you want to be a part.
To make sure you persevere and work well, write and create content about what you love and live. Turn some hobby into an online exhibition. Passion and knowledge are recognized.
Make yourself a star without copying anyone. Do not take other people's photos, do not copy other people's texts or writing style. In addition to punishing you with bad rank for copying other people's texts, and potentially suing someone for stealing a photo, you risk tarnishing your reputation. Why? Just start writing.
3. Become a YouTube star
Do you have any specific knowledge such as programming, make-up, or running online advertising campaigns? How skilled are you in teaching? In addition to offering your knowledge through Udemy, an online teaching platform, you can also earn money through YouTube.
So if you know how to sing well, talk, teach or make people laugh, consider shooting shorter YouTube videos because you can monetize. Become a YouTuber and try to earn a few million something like the Serbian Grandma Pig or hundreds of thousands like our Nika Ilčić.
Earnings on YouTube are made through advertisements, but mostly through sponsors who pay for someone popular in the video to use their product.
The first recommendation is: Record and post only original content so as not to run into copyright issues. Take special care not to use music that you have not paid to use for these purposes.
Second recommendation: Video tutorials are one of the most popular (after music videos) so record video guides explaining how to do something. For example, a lady who initially posted a video of how to make homemade yeast at the beginning of the corona quarantine virus received 250,000 views in a month.
Or watch our regional young Youtube stars do it in a completely different direction. One of the current hits is ASMR video content, so spend some time studying it.
Third recommendation: Do not take pictures with a mobile phone, invest in a camera or a camera that can record video. Make sure the microphone is of good quality and the background is relatively clean. Also, no additional background sounds. Close the windows when shooting, do not turn the washing machine and the like. You don't want to upset the user.
YouTube included Croatia in the list of countries of its partner video earnings program a few years ago, but that doesn't mean that everyone can start making money right away. To find out if your channel is a candidate for an affiliate program, you will need to check a few things.
YouTube has posted a detailed procedure and everything you need to do.
You can earn between $ 100 and $ 100,000, depending on the content of the video and the number of views. For a million views you will get around 10,000 kunas, but the more videos you have and the longer the video is online, the better your chances of views and relatively easy earnings.
4. Make money through a website
It is said that you need to write about 1000 short articles to start ranking well on the Google search engine and thus get more traffic to your website.
The higher the turnover, the potentially higher earnings. Businesses want to collaborate with the websites they visit, and Google ads placed on such a site have a much higher chance of being clicked, and therefore you have a better chance of making money. You won’t get rich on Google ads, but there may be queries for PR posts, banner placement, and the like.
If you are good at math, the formula is as follows: 143 blog posts/articles per month, or 4 blog posts per day, 7 days a week. Go.
It is optimal to write about niche things, for which there is not too much competition on the Internet, because that will make it easier for you to get to the first page of the search engine, which is extremely important. They say you can hide the dead man on another page of Google search engine because no one will look for him there.
Learn how to write for the web, especially how to SEO optimize content (I can teach you that, feel free to apply for private lessons or wait for the fall for workshops).
Create niche-themed portals and place Google AdSense ads on them. If you have a questionnaire over your head How do you place these ads ?, I must refer you to the additional education, which my colleagues received. Or try to learn on your own.
5. Become an author for others
Fiverr service is an opportunity to earn money on everything, from writing and translating, through working in Photoshop to recording voice for various purposes.
Try that service, offer your service for a certain amount of money and you may have a lucky win. The default price is $ 5, but you can offer additional services for extra money.
Similarly, but at a slightly higher level and for larger amounts, you can (work) on Elance.
You can also earn by writing articles for the Examiner, where you will receive $ 5 for every 1000 clicks on your article. It may be profitable for some. Honestly, I didn't see myself there.
It is better to look for contributors in Croatia who need content for the web and agree on the price of writing articles, it will certainly be above $ 5, so it is more profitable in the beginning. How to look for them?
Have your project so good that everyone will want to collaborate with a person who writes so well. Or expose yourself by writing content for some web in exchange for visibility, but then don’t count on money. For example, I write for the portal ženeinovac.com for free, but I get visibility towards maybe some future clients. Give to get back.
6. Publish an e-book for the Kindle
On Amazon, anyone can become a publisher and make money. With the growing popularity of the Kindle (but also other e-readers), earnings are possible for anyone who hits a niche, title, and writes a book or guide that will get good ratings, reviews, and possibly word-of-mouth advertising.
Since the Kindle app is available on almost every e-device, your market is global. of course, do you know English well enough to write in it?
However, nothing prevents you from writing a book in Croatian and publishing it. Especially since the competition is extremely small and he may be the first one, his girlfriend…
If you put the price of the book up to $ 10, you’ll earn about 70% of the sale, which is a pretty good deal. Fiction is the weakest, so you better dedicate yourself to writing about the problems of ordinary people (eg Secrets of finding a job ), work on reviews, and, if sales do not start in a month, change the look of the book, but maybe the category. They couldn’t find you before or you weren’t visually attractive enough to click on a photo of your book.
7. Sell your photos or videos
Stock services are used by everyone who has a website and does not have their photo production. simply, theft, ie. free downloading of photos from Google is illegal and after many have been burned by fines from services like GettyImages, few today dare to steal photos. Many still do it for the needs of their Facebook pages, which is a gray area of copyright, but for websites, few will dare to post someone else's photo.
That's why stock services, but also their authors, can make good money selling photos.
The crowd at the services is big, but there are a lot of authors of photography. The highest value is a series of photos, with clean backgrounds, which are easy to use and customizable.
8. Selling unique / homemade / used items
The last crisis in Croatia has resulted in many creative people who make everything in their home business: from toys and pillows, through clothes and earrings to watches and lamps.
Creatives, in the absence of work, took matters into their own hands and sold what they made themselves. So it is with this crisis, which, however, invisibility has thrown out primarily family farms because the markets were closed and people eager for fresh fruits and vegetables.
But you may be doing some cool things for kids or pets (parents of young children and dog and cat owners are the categories of people from whom you will most easily make money - I’m both!) So offer something for sale online.
Moms are happy to buy handmade things for their little ones.
Creatives remained a bit short-sleeved during the coronavirus, although many influencers advertised small businesses for free through their channels and called for support from domestic producers.
It is best to join some existing groups on Facebook and offer your works there because the already well-known Etsy, which offers a global market, has somehow already gone into its glory. Even the domestic web for handicrafts woohoo. hr has been shut down because the trend has begun to wane over the years.
If this type of sale is your secondary business, I advise you not to sell things without an invoice - because you don't want stress if someone reports you or the inspector hits you.
How do you get started and what will you do? You have to find out for yourself.
9. Online seminars
Why not create a website that sells online courses or online counseling?
Let’s say you know all about how 3D photography is done or are you a psychologist who can put together some short relaxation program or a trainer who sells fitness programs?
I plan to start this specifically in the fall.
Other
There are still my opportunities to make money, from filling out some surveys to clicking on the web for a few kunas, as well as some other more complex jobs or things. I don't know anything about that, so let's not pretend to be omniscient. And I've been writing this article for a long time.
Let us know if you know anything else good for extra income so we can supplement this article for others.
