Prerequisites to start making money online,

Before you start picking any of the options to make money online you have to get an idea of the following,

Know the basic requirements for you to start making money online,

2. Internet connection

4. Electronic gadgets/devices such as the computer, laptops, Tab or Mobile phones

6. At least 1-3 hrs. of your time per day or 5-10 hours on a weekly basis, without this minimum time you won’t be able to see much progress

Here are some of the most popular ways of earning money online:

Create a channel on YouTube:

For years many people are earning a hell lot by uploading their funny videos, recipes, knowledge, facts, and interesting stories, and happening around to their youtube channels and making decent money.

People make somewhere around 1 Lac to 20 lac per month easily, they just need to upload interesting videos which can grab the attention of people. If their video is interesting it will have millions of views and make a few thousand rupees or Lakhs based on the view count.

Update(Updating my article based on this information):

Sad News:

In recent times youtube has come up with very strict norms for the monetization of the channel and hence many YouTubers are struggling to earn from YouTube!

The New Era of Videostreme.com Begins:

Video uploaders Still earn much more than what they used to earn by uploading to YouTube. You too can give it a try, you can upload your videos both on Youtube and Videostreme and make money from both websites. Doubling income from same videos 🙂

Videostream has no norms in monetizing the channel, they just pay you from day one based on the views your video has got.

Another good thing is that videostreme accepts all kinds of content, you can upload any kind of content and you can make money. As simple as your recipe, your trip video, your funny videos, or anything, you can upload any video content and start making money from day 1.

This is one of the simple tricks that I have seen many people following in recent times to make money.

Note: Be careful, don’t upload content that’s against their policy, and you may get blacklisted. Go through their policy before you upload any content there.

Make money by registering on freelancing websites:

Freelance websites are the platforms that connect the skilled people who can deliver the work that falls under their skill vicinity and the people who are looking for skilled people so that they can assign it to them and get the work done at very fewer expenses as compared to the fulltime employee or service provider companies.

There are a good number of trustable freelance websites such as work, e-lance, freelance, pay per hour, and many more, on which you can register and provide the details of your expertise or skills or the work you can handle so that the people looking for freelancers of those skills would get in touch with you or you may have to find the projects those match your skills and bid your price if they like your profile, your past works, your price quote they would assign that work to you and on completion of the work you would receive the payment to your PayPal account or by cheque.

Some examples of the work that you can deliver through freelance portals,

• Can write an assignment for you at 100$
• Can help you creating you a WordPress website at 200$
• Can get 100 installs for your app at 100$
• Can get 10000 likes for your Facebook page at 100$

And many more.

See what you are capable of and definitely, there can be some work that you can find, bid, and deliver. You don’t have to learn any skill newly, just start delivering what you know by picking on the project that you can work on.

The good thing is it’s not limited to one business, you are allowed to promote any number of businesses based on the quality and quantity of traffic, based on the auction bidding by business owners, and based on the slots available on your website.

The amount that you receive by writing such articles or promotional content varies between Rs. 10000 to a Few Lakhs.

Note: You have to be very careful while endorsing some business on your portal, you cannot fool your website visitors by endorsing/recommending a random company, which may not be credible in terms of any of the perspectives, so make sure you always speak in perspective to help/benefit your website users

You can charge a flat amount that ranges between Rs. 10000 to a few lakhs a month, which again depends on the quantity and quality of the traffic.
