10 Profitable Ways to Make Money Online For Beginners in 2023
Are you looking to start making money online but not sure where to begin? There are hundreds of methods available but choosing the right one can be challenging. As an online business expert, I have identified some proven ways that can help beginners start earning money online and reach $100 per day in profits.
In this blog post, I will share 10 recommendations for beginners to start making money online. These methods have low barriers to entry, require little initial investment, and have the potential to generate a good source of passive income.
1. Start a Branded eBay Store
Many believe that eBay is a dying business model but that is not the case. There are many successful businesses generating tens of thousands of dollars in profits every week by selling physical products on eBay.
I was able to quit my job and build a successful online business by selling on eBay. The process is simple - find winning products that people are actively buying, source them at a lower cost, build a branded eBay store, and start selling. The key is to do thorough product research to find trending items and use a tool like Zeke Analytics to spy on top eBay sellers.
Once you build a successful eBay store, the profits can be reinvested to scale the business further. The best part is you don’t need to worry about storing any inventory since the items are shipped directly from the suppliers to the customers.
2. Start a Faceless YouTube Channel
YouTube is one of the best platforms to build a passive income source. A faceless YouTube channel is where you create and upload videos without showing your face. You can use video editing tools to compile stock images and footage to create content on a specific niche.
As the channel starts getting views and subscribers, you can make money through ads, brand deals, affiliate marketing, and more. The key is choosing a profitable niche, creating useful content, and optimizing your videos to rank in YouTube search.
Once the channel starts making money, you can invest in resources to create higher quality and engaging content to boost growth. YouTube has the potential to generate six figures in income if you are consistent in uploading quality videos.
3. Start an On-Camera YouTube Channel
In addition to faceless channels, you can also start a YouTube channel where you appear on camera to share useful content with your viewers. Even though YouTube seems saturated, there are still opportunities to build a successful channel if you commit to consistency and quality.
I was able to build my channel from scratch to over 200,000 subscribers by regularly uploading content that provides value to my audiences.
Starting a YouTube channel allows you to build a community, share your thoughts, and earn a passive income source that can last for years. However, it does require diligence and the ability to come up with engaging ideas and content.

4. Selling Low Content Books
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing or KDP allows you to upload and sell low content books like notebooks, journals, puzzle books, logbooks, and more. These books require little content creation but have the potential to generate passive income.
The process is simple - choose a type of low content book, design it using a tool like Canva, upload to KDP, optimize for relevant keywords, and make sales. You don’t need to worry about printing or shipping as Amazon handles fulfillment. Many people are earning thousands per month just from uploading lots of low content books.
Since the books require little maintenance once uploaded, it is a great source of residual income. You can continue uploading more books to increase your earnings over time.
5. Ranking Articles on Google
Building a blog and ranking articles on Google search is one of the best ways to create a digital asset that can generate income for years. You need to start a blog on a specific niche, optimize it for search engines, write useful articles targeting key search terms, and get them ranked on Google.
Once your articles start appearing in the search results and bringing in traffic, you can make money through ads, affiliate links, selling products, and more. I was able to build SuccessfulBusiness.com and get many articles ranked on Google, bringing in thousands of visitors each month.
The key is to choose a profitable niche, buy a domain name, get quality hosting, design your blog, do keyword research to find search terms, and write useful content around those terms. It does require work upfront but can pay off greatly in the long run through the passive income potential.

6. Uploading YouTube Shorts
YouTube Shorts is a new feature from YouTube focused on short-form vertical videos. It is a great way for beginners to start making money on YouTube without needing expensive equipment or showing their face.
The process involves creating a YouTube channel focused on a specific niche, repurposing existing popular content into short clips, adding text and effects, and uploading them as YouTube Shorts. Include affiliate links, promote your products, or ads to monetize the channel.
The key is uploading Shorts consistently around topics people are interested in. You can use tools like Opusclip to identify sections of longer videos to turn into Shorts. YouTube Shorts has the potential to go viral and get millions of views which translates into more money making opportunities.
While YouTube Shorts is still gaining traction, the platform sees it as the future of short-form content. Getting in early and building an audience can pay off greatly in the coming years. Let me know if you have any other questions about starting a YouTube Shorts channel.
7. Google Ads and Shopify
One of the most profitable ways to make money online is by building a Shopify store selling in-demand products and driving traffic through Google Ads. You do need some capital to get started but has the potential to scale into a very successful business.
The process involves finding a popular product to sell, building a Shopify store, and creating Google Ads to promote your products. Since Google is the biggest search engine, your ads have a high chance of appearing on page 1 of search results based on the keywords. And when people are searching to buy a product, the conversion rates can be very high.
Once your ads start bringing in sales, you can reinvest the profits to increase your advertising budget and reach more potential customers. The key is optimizing your ads and store to provide a seamless buying experience. I was able to build a 7-figure business with this model by testing different products and honing in on what sells best.

8. Selling Digital AI Art on Shopify
In addition to physical products, you can build a business selling digital art using artificial intelligence. AI tools like Midjourney can generate unique images that you can sell on t-shirts, mugs, canvases, phone cases, and other products using a service like Printify.
Many stores are finding success with this model. They are using AI to create eye-catching digital designs and selling them on their Shopify store. Then, they drive traffic to the store using Google Ads to make sales. Once an order comes in, Printify handles printing and shipping the product with the digital design straight to the customer.
Since everything is automated and printed on demand, it is a very scalable business with high profit margins. The initial startup costs are low and you can continue feeding the AI new styles and designs to generate more products to sell without much additional work required.

9. Amazon Affiliate Marketing
Amazon Associate is one of the most popular affiliate programs. It allows you to earn commissions by promoting products available on Amazon.com. The process is simple - sign up for the affiliate program, get links to products you want to promote, and share them on your traffic sources like blogs, YouTube, email newsletters, and more.
When someone clicks your link and buys an item, you earn a small percentage commission. While the commissions on Amazon are low, around 5% on average, the huge selection of products and brand trust make up for it. Many people earn thousands per month using the Amazon Associates program.
The key is building audiences focused on topics that match products available on Amazon. I would recommend starting with Amazon but then also exploring higher paying affiliate programs once you get the hang of it. Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to generate passive income if done right. Let me know if you have any other questions about the Amazon Associates program.
10. ClickBank Affiliate Marketing with YouTube Ads
ClickBank is one of the leading affiliate networks with higher commissions than Amazon, around 50-75% on average. One of the best ways to make money with ClickBank is by promoting offers through YouTube Ads. You can create videos promoting ClickBank products without showing your face using AI tools and voices.
The process involves signing up as a ClickBank affiliate, finding high-converting offers to promote in your niche, creating ads directing people to those offers, and optimizing to get the best results. Since people are already interested in the offer, conversion rates can be very high. And earning 50-75% commissions on each sale translates into high profits.
The key is targeting your ads to people most likely to be interested in the offers you are promoting. With YouTube Ads, you only pay when someone clicks your ad or watches for at least 30 seconds. Start with a small daily budget of $10-$20 and scale up as you optimize and see results.
While ClickBank affiliate marketing does require an initial investment in advertising costs, the high commissions and potential to scale make up for it. Many affiliates are earning high five figures to six figures per month promoting ClickBank products through YouTube Ads and other traffic sources.
