Create An Online Business

It’s no surprise that more Generation Z’s are creating and building businesses through the Internet. An average person uses 4.8hours on the phone in a day, 2hour of it is spent on social media. However, Internet business is no simple task of just writing a blog, making a video, or selling merch. Online businesses require owners to learn multiple skills. Take this blogging channel for example. To start my blogging channel, I had to learn how to build a website from scratch, create social media presence to drive viewers to the website, and create blogs that have high SEO (Search Engine Optimisation).

Even though starting an online business can be tough, it can be a lot easier to educate oneself through research with the help of the Internet. Don’t like to read? Watch online videos or attend courses that can help you learn relative topics faster. Still don’t know how to do it, pay experts in the relative field from Fiverr to do it for you.

Why I love to do online business is that there is no limit to the number of customers coming in, your customer can literally be on the other side of the world. The limit in online business is not creating enough value for people. Here are some easy ways to start creating an online business.

Youtube

On average, most Singaporeans spend about 2 hours every day on one social media platform or another. The most used social media are Youtube and Whatsapp. With 4.4 million Singaporean users, YouTube has the largest number of users among all social media sites. Facebook falls behind by a small margin with 4.06 million users. Youtuber makes a lot of their money through Ad revenue. They can also make money through sponsorship, online stall, courses, and plenty more. If you love making video content, Youtube is the best platform to showcase your skills and talent.

Blogging

Blogging is still one of the best ways to make money online because there is a need for more information to be online. By making valuable informative content, the search engine will promote the best quality content to the most viewable page and this creates traffic (people viewing your page means more money). There is always new information needed for people to understand, and through blogging, information can be easily found and read.

Income in blogging is mainly made through affiliate marketing, which is sharing links to other company websites or products to earn a commission. The most amount of money to be made through blogging is selling courses as people will need to use your webpage to view your courses, along the way having to scroll through some ads for you.

Blogging is my favorite when it comes to making money because I love sharing informative information and don’t really like talking to a camera to make a video. Blogging takes a lot of hard work. Average blogging only sees results in 6 months and most blogging only starts making money after a year. Once you are able to gain the attention of multiple search engines, that’s where the fun begins. The compounding effect on blogging is a lot better than other platforms as the algorithm is able to showcase more of your older works, which makes a better outreach for you.

Influencer Social Media

With the rise of the social media age, many people begin to market themselves as product user. There is multiple social media platform on the Internet such as Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and LinkedIn. By influencers others around you to purchase a product or view it from your social media, these influencers are able to cash in on content interaction. if they do not wish to market to others, they can start their own product or course and sell it on their social media platform.

Ease of use, low fees, and a nice selection of coins make up some of the best cryptocurrency exchanges. Although Crypto.com has a slight learning curve, the website and app are user-friendly and easy to navigate. Additionally, the costs are lower than Coinbase, and there’s a broader range of currencies.

Learn to Sell High Commission Ticket Items

Fixed-income jobs have great job security, this means there is a fixed income to earn. Whereas commission base jobs, the income you make is the amount you sell.

Some of the common commission-based jobs out there are Real Estate agents or Financial Advisors.

High Income, Low Expenses

Having a lot of money does not make you rich. If you make $100,000 a year but spend $100,000, you are left with zero dollars to show. Learning to control your saving is important.
