3. Dropshipping

Although dropshipping (at least in terms of term) is not so well known in Romania, it is a very good way to make quick money online, without much effort. According to Google Trends, the popularity of this business is growing every day.

But what is dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a business model in which you promote a product and "clap" with the customer, but do not stress about stockpiling or even delivery. The supplier is the one who stores, packs and delivers the product on your behalf. You can use amazon, ebay, wish, aliexpress (as external platforms) and even olx, lajumate and other internal platforms. Oberlo is again a good option.

The best way to do dropshipping is through advertising on Facebook, or through influencers. The latter can send direct messages to potential customers on social media.

4. Affiliate Marketing

Speaking of dropshipping, find out that affiliate marketing is very close in principle. The difference is that you include organically (or not) in your blog or on any frequently used social media channel, an affiliate link to a product of an affiliate customer. There are platforms like profitshare or 2performant that help you a lot in this regard. There you will also learn how to make money online by promoting the products of others.

The more you get involved and have a bigger and more active community, the better your chances of winning!

5. Take an online course

If you have knowledge in a field and want to offer value, then you need to take a course that you can sell online. It is much easier for your clients to set their own schedule (time and space) in which to learn. The Internet gives us such great mobility!

And don't think that it's mandatory to invest in a particular platform. You can easily use the sites that host such courses and are willing to give you a good percentage of the revenue.

Your only concern is to deliver the most valuable content for the student!

6. Make a blog!

If you have a blog, you automatically have a lot of monetization tools at hand: from becoming a personal brand to affiliate marketing.

Of course you don't have to expect results overnight. And in the case of a blog, you need to think carefully before choosing your niche. Moreover, you need a community, and for that you need to be able to do a little quality online marketing.

The most common ways to make money online through blogging are:

- Affiliate marketing

- Blogger contests

- Blogging for niche freelancing

- Selling e-books

- Selling courses online

- Coaching and consulting activities

- SPONSORSHIP

- Paid membership plans

- Sponsored reviews

- Donations

7. Freelancing

If you know how to do something that would be useful to others, then you can offer "microbubbles" online. In fact, what you do by freelancing is to sell your services directly to the interested entity, without being employed anymore. The most popular jobs are content / copywriting, interior design, online graphics, coding, material editing, and more.

There are many sites for every freelancing industry. For example, if you want to earn from writing or web graphics, you can use platforms like Fiverr, Freelancer or Upwork.

To earn money online as a freelancer you need to start by building a strong portfolio. This can often mean offering free services to certain reputable companies.

Once you form this portfolio you can start contacting older clients to increase your revenue.

8. Online translations

You do not need to be a certified translator to do this. What you will need, however, is to know at least one advanced language at an advanced level. The less popular it is, the better. Mandarin, Japanese and Swedish are some examples of languages ​​that can bring you substantial income if you know them.

You cannot use tools like google translate for this job because you will lose customers quickly. What you can do, though, is use applications to improve your knowledge.

9. Sell things online

If you need quick money, then you can do a good job of emptying your house a little. You'd be surprised how many people could need your stuff.

You can use well-known platforms, such as olx or lajumate, or you can even use the tools provided by Facebook (marketplace).

What's more, Facebook's sales groups have become more and more popular! Just make sure you take some photos that are as successful as possible and that you don't post anything bad or that you present a false description.

10. Sell photos or videos online

Everyone has a high-performance camera (at least on the phone). Of course, if you have a DSLR, this business idea is even more suitable for you.

However, you don't need too much to make money online with photos and videos. Most of all, you should enjoy photographing various things and have minimal editing skills. You can then upload them to certain platforms, such as iStockPhoto.

The more interesting the photos, the better!

11. Develop an application

If you are not an IT specialist then you probably feel the need to skip this point. Nothing worse! Find out that today there are a lot of independent platforms that teach you step by step how to make an application, without the need for who knows what coding skills.

When it comes to making money with your app, it's best to add it to the App Store and Google Play. You can start with a free application, for a start, until you learn how to develop it further. Then you can add certain paid options, after you have seen exactly what volume of people it attracts.

12. Trade online

More and more people are investing online. If you feel that you have a good intuition and you like to follow trends and figures, then this may be the best option for you.

However, if you want fast results and you tend to be impulsive, then maybe you should focus on something else because if you throw your head forward without documenting yourself well in advance, then you risk losing not only time but and money.

When making online transactions, it is good to be patient and to carefully analyze the performance of various markets.

13. Make money online from surveys

Although they don't necessarily earn much, there are people who enjoy the money from the polls.

There are many applications and online platforms that offer money to complete opinion polls. The most popular questions are about consumption and shopping habits. Generally from here you can get about 100$ / month and some discount vouchers.

However, since you do not invest more than a few minutes, you can get your coffee money!

14. Sell domains and sites online

If we were talking about trading, here's another, more unconventional trading idea. If you have SEO knowledge and good intuition, you can be very successful in selling domains and sites online. This technique can bring you thousands of euros a month.

What you have to do is buy domains online that would have a good chance of being bought at some point, in terms of name. Large companies are willing to pay a lot for an area they especially want.

There are also portals on which you can sell such sites and domains. An example is Sedo.com

15. Test products and perform tasks

Another effective way to make money online is through user testing platforms. Example: usertesting.com

These platforms pay you to check out various sites and express your opinion on ease of operation. You also get various things to look out for when you visit their sites.

You don't make much money from this activity, but you don't have to have any skills either.

16. Sell on Pinterest

Few people know that you can make money from Pinterest. Most people use this app to find interesting photos and get inspired. However, Pinterest is a huge e-commerce site.

How do you make money online from Pinterest? Simple: testing products that you later present there, associating a link. It's also a kind of affiliate marketing, but with a very high success rate!

17. Sell greeting cards online

If you have the ability to choose the perfect greeting cards for various occasions, then you may be able to make good money online from greeting cards.

19. Personalized gifts
