People are making serious cash right now
by doing very simple things online but
i'm sure, you already know that truth is.
It's very easy to make money now than it
was a decade ago, so i'm gonna share with
you very realistic ways that you can
start making money online based on my
own experiences these business ideas or
side hustles are super low cost and very
easy to start, so let's dive into it the
first one is youtube content creation
now hear me out i used to resent
youtubers.Big time i never even watched
youtube videos because as a career
person i was extremely busy with my day
job and still doing transcription on the
side to make some extra coins ,i used to
think i'm the most successful young
person on earth not because i was making
that much money, but because of the pride
that comes with being employed and
calling yourself a career person.So you
see youtube was a big joke to me or
rather seemed like a big joke to me and
content creation was simply attention
seeking fast forward to the present i
have been on youtube for almost two
years now, i started making money or
earning properly on youtube in november
2021 and in those nine months that is
november 20 21 to july 2022 i have made
a total of 27
308 dollars from youtube adsense alone
this is around 3 million kenya shillings
just think about that now let's compare
and contrast my last employment lasted
for a year and i was being paid very
well above average actually in fact i
think i was one of the most earning
graduates in kenya if you ask me i
really hope most is a correct english
phrase anyway in that one year i earned
a total of seven thousand five hundred
dollars which is about nine hundred
thousand kenya shillings now imagine me
with my seven thousand five hundred
dollars presenting someone who's making
over twenty seven thousand dollars quite
pathetic actually
it makes no sense does it now this is
not me saying that this is the amount of
money you'll be making on youtube but
what if it is even if it's just a
thousand dollars a month isn't that
better than struggling at a job you
don't even like and no i'm not telling
you to quit your day job for youtube i'm
telling you to give youtube a try in
fact
personally i was doing youtube and
transcription while still employed now i
get to make money doing what i love that
is helping people by sharing knowledge
and opportunities about something i'm
very passionate about which is
transcription now creating videos
doesn't have to be complicated and
costly i never really spent any money on
my youtube channel when i started i had
no microphone no camera no video editor
and i didn't spend any money learning a
so that i can start making videos about
it like learning how to transcribe so
that i can come here and tell you about
transcription like that never happened
transcription was something i was
already doing so it was easy to talk
about it and i knew a lot of people
didn't know about it so i decided to
create awareness now here's the funny
thing before creating my first video
video editing was a mystery to me like i
didn't know anything about it to sleep
magic but i had to edit the video
somehow so i went on youtube and looked
for editing tutorials and look at my
videos now very well edited i'm very
proud of myself i didn't pay for any
editing classes or get a trainer to
teach me how to edit i learned on
youtube for free i bought my first
microphone ever a few months ago so most
of my videos were created without a
microphone and not forgetting that i
used the same phone to record my videos
until i hit a hundred thousand
subscribers which was actually last
month that is when i decided to buy a
new phone so you can imagine i have been
creating videos with the same phone for
almost two years now and it was not a
high-end phone it was a huawei y9 that i
bought in 2019 so you see nothing is
stopping you from starting a youtube
channel and sharing your life or your
brilliance with the world now if you
decide to give it a try that is start a
youtube channel you have to treat it as
a business not a hobby you have to
sacrifice time to create videos
consistently create videos that add
value to people's lives and don't focus
on views and subscribers focus on making
your audience happy and that you will do
by giving them what they are looking for
you also have to commit to learning all
you can about youtube how it works the
algorithm best practices and all that
don't do youtube blindly learn learn
learn and implement what you learn every
video should be an improvement from the
last one and most importantly put in the
work and be patient it took me a year to
start a new on youtube so it will take
time maybe a few months a year a few
years either way keep creating and keep
improving your videos now please let me
know if this video has been useful so
far or if it's being useful by hitting
the like button down below i would
really appreciate it the second business
idea is selling services online now can
you imagine that when i quit my job i
survived on transcription alone for like
eight months before my other streams of
income picked up so i myself taught
transcriber who learned the skill out of
necessity because i was struggling
financially and i needed cash for years
i worked for transcription companies
like rabbit kiwi world triple a
transcription transcribed me etc etc i
was making a few dollars a month
sometimes 350 dollars sometimes 200
sometimes even 70 dollars considering i
was a student so i was not working full
time but my life completely changed when
i started treating my transcription
hustle as a business rather than a job
where i needed to be employed remotely
by a transcription company obviously
transcription companies are the best
place to start but it gets better when
you do it as a business i got an
opportunity once to work on someone's
files directly without a middleman
because that's what transcription
companies are so they look for clients
get files and hire you to work on the
files now when the money comes in it has
to be split between you and the company
so i realized that you make so much
money when you work for a company or
individual directly so when i got fed up
with my day job and was planning to quit
i decided to source for more
transcription clients obviously i was
not going to quit my job without a solid
plan that's being stupid and by the way
my youtube channel did help because
sometimes people who need transcription
services reach out to me since i create
content about transcription this is me
telling you that if you need
transcription services just shoot me an
email however most of my direct clients
i got them through recommendations from
people i have worked with before or
people who know that i offer
transcription services and called
pitching mostly on linkedin so my income
tripled from making a few dollars a
month to earning over a thousand dollars
from a single transcription project
however the amount of money i earn from
transcription fluctuates because there
are months when there is so much to do
and there are times when there's barely
any work to do so if you worked online
you know how this goes and good
financial management by the way is
essential in this aspect because without
good financial management i will not be
able to stay afloat during those very
dry months okay this is what i'm trying
to say you can easily make money online
by selling a service like i do with
transcription getting clients is usually
the most difficult task but it's not
impossible i feel like people just fear
it before they even do it once you know
what you want to offer create a free
linkedin account optimize it that is
just add everything you should add your
experiences your skills and all that and
then start searching for potential
clients now if you're planning to offer
transcription as a service like me you
want to look for podcasts media houses
research companies that conduct
interviews research students churches
etc etc those are your potential clients
because these a probability
they have content video or audio content
that needs to be transcribed now if
transcription is not something you are
interested in there is still so much you
can do i have actually noticed that
these are rising demand for video
editors because companies and
individuals are now creating video
content left right and center there are
so many youtubers who don't know how to
edit videos there are also youtubers who
are looking to level up their content so
they are looking for video editors to
help them do that if you check my
community posts here on youtube you will
see that i was looking for experienced
video editors a few months ago so video
editing is one of the most profitable
online businesses right now and it's
something you can learn in less than a
month on youtube for free graphic
designers are also in high demand if you
can do product promotions design video
thumbnails logos video intros video
outros motion graphics etc you can sell
that as a service on fiverr upwork or
reach out to direct clients who you
think need these services personally i'm
looking for someone who can create a
very nice video intro for me don't be
afraid to reach out to potential clients
just craft a very nice email and make
sure to include your samples if you have
them just attach them if you have links
to those samples then attach the link be
nice to the person you're trying to work
for and just give them an offer they
cannot refuse feel free to even give
them like a one month bonus or 20
percent or for something like that just
make a very nice attractive offer and
send it obviously most people won't get
back to you but someone will get back to
you just have to keep doing it and do it
right now i would love to list all the
services that you can possibly offer but
this video will end up being longer than
i wish it to be the bottom line is
don't limit yourself when it comes to
starting an online business or a side
hustle anything goes as long as you are
not stealing from anyone or doing
something illegal for scamming people
which is actually legal i'm sure you've
seen this with people like moya david
the guy who was just dancing and now
it's dancing as a service aziad asama
jimbo if you're in kenya and if you're
not kenyan you've definitely seen this
in your own country these are ordinary
people just like you and me doing
ordinary things but getting extra
ordinary results and this should tell
you something about making money online
it's not as difficult as you think now
