Thanks to tech for the ease it has given to humanity especially our generation.

My dad for one, is learning to use WhatsApp to manage his customers.

I’m happy to see it.

But one major question alot of people ask is this, how can I make money online?

The beauty of the online space is visibility and nothing more. Everything you can sell offline can be sold online if you find the right way.

In this post, I’ll share the four major ways people make money online.

There are basically four major ways we make money online:

• Sell your product
• Sell other people’s products
• Offering services
• Trading currencies

Sell your product

This is where it starts.

If you have a physical or electronic product that is yours, then you can make money online by selling it.

This me as you’re not listed to the physical world.

And it’s so interesting that people can stay anywhere around the world, see your products, order for it and pay you.

It’s one of the most exciting experiences I’ve had, waking you at 1am to see credit alert on your phone.

So, how do you do this?

I’ll show you but before then read up the other three methods.

Sell other people’s products

In simple terms, this means that even when you don’t have a product of your own, you can still sell other people’s products.

This is called Affiliate Marketing. You get paid commission for each time you sell someone’s product.

Offer services

This third method is done by offering services with the skills you have. You can do this as a business owner (someone who has a registered business) or as a freelancer (no registered business but you have the skill needed to perform what is needed).

So the question here is what skills do you have? What competence can you give to someone and they’ll pay you for it?

Here are some of the best platforms you can use as a freelancers are these: FlexJobs, Fiverr, UpWork, TopTal, SimplyHired…

The next distinct way to make money online is by…

Trading currencies

From Forex to the latest Cryptocurrency passion, you can spend time online and trade local and international currencies.

These platforms are amongst the best you can use to trade currencies and these for cryptocurrencies.

But before you start trading, take specific courses – free and paid.

Have you travelled out of your country?

Making money online is like travelling out of your country to another country.

Is it possible? Yes.

What are the best means for that?

Aeroplane, ship, maybe car, train and other means.

Now, these means are what I have mentioned.

What is left now is this: what agencies can help you travel?

Virgin can help you fly. In my country, ABC Transport can take you by road. China has one of the fastest train transport system.

So also, making money online uses various agencies and that’s what I will share now.

This means that for all the four methods of making money online, these agencies can make it happen.
