How to make money online?

28 replies
I am an American expat living in Southeast Asia and pretty much the only way I am going to be able to make money is online, as doing business locally here can be pretty dangerous if you're a westerner.

My skills:
I am very knowledgeable in yoga, spirituality, the Vedic scriptures of India, etc
I spent my 20s living in India and doing yoga and spiritual practices

I have zero knowledge or experience in computer related stuff like software writing, website design, etc.

How can I take my skills and put them to use in a way that I can make money online? And to do it with the least amount of effort, as I cannot be spending 10 hours a day doing work online, as my health is not that good, and I also try to have at least 3 or 4 hours a day of free time so that I can do yoga and read the Hindu scriptures.

    It sounds like you would qualify as an expert in yoga and other spiritually based fields. You can create digital products like ebooks, audios and videos that you can sell online through places like click bank, amazon, etc…

    Once the courses are made, your responsibility is either to market them or hire someone to do the marketing for you.

    Baba Ramdev is too busy running a multi-million enterprise to help you out( Trust me on this, I am from India). If you want you can move to India and try teaching Yoga to people there, Indians are always excited when a foreigner does something.

    To make money online with Yoga, you may need to package everything into videos or even create a membership site which bills people monthly. It will add up pretty soon. There are tons of guides out there on creating membership sites, creating blogs etc which should help you out.

        I think that's pretty harsh to a person who was trying to help you. Fine, don't go back, start a membership site instead,

    Since you are skilled on yoga and spirituality, then I suggest starting a website/blog and provide helpful and valuable information about these topics. Then you can promote it and one it is successful and has a good amount of visitors, you can try adsense.

    I agree with setting up a website on your topic, and build a list from that website. You can create an ebook on the topic and sell it to your list.

    You could also consider creating a product and sell it as PLR on this forum. This would definitely not be my top choice though.

    I like what you wrote. It shows you’ve recognized your weakness and strengths. That’s the first step to making money online. Unfortunately so many people won’t admit that so they keep on pushing…pushing to the wrong side and continue failing.

    Let me give you few suggestions I believe will let succeed within a short time.

    Now, you’ve got those skills. What do you do with them? How do you market them?

    Simple!

    Write about your experiences…maybe set-up a personal development blog. Because most people that will be reading your contents are people who aren’t happy with the direction their life is heading…or maybe they needed to discard some bad habits and become new individuals. These people will want you to give them hope.

    Another thing you can talk about is health related issues. According to what you said above (your health is bad which I pray everything gets right), talk about it and give people like you hope. People who are also trying to make money online. People like you.

    Coming up with contents shouldn’t be hard at all since you’ll be writing off topics you already know a ton about.


    The technical side like website design, softwares and others should be taken care of by the experts. I mean people who know how to do those things and I’ve been doing it for long…

    Hope this helps.

    1. Create the blog
    2. Create some videos
    3. Post videos on blog (YouTube is great too)
    4. Get followers
    5. Get followers in an email list (you can give away something for free for them joining your list)
    6. Send emails
    7. Give good advice in these emails
    8. Sell yoga related products to your list, but don't constantly sell to them

    There are plenty of other ways, but this is how I would do it.

      I quite agree with TonyAG. This should be one of the fastest ways of building an online reputation and carving a niche for your self since yoga is visual oriented, this approach is a sure way to go.

      What you can also do is to include an optin form on your site from the beginning promising your site visitors that they will get more when they opt into your list or better still you can offer a free report as a bait in exchange for their emails.

      After deciding on the model to adopt, which inevitably will include building a site ( there are tutorials on youtube on how to build wordpress sites), then you need to start thinking of the traffic aspect. You will definitely need traffic.

      Hope this helps

    As others have mentioned, starting a blog and/or creating your own digital products, can make you a decent income. However, that could take a while before your start seeing any significant results.

    For a more immediate income, at least until your blog and/or digital products kick off, you may want to consider looking into Google Helpouts. You can give online session on how to do yoga. There are people on there charging anywhere from $20 - $50 per hour to teach yoga.

    Something to think about..

    Since you're new to blogging and Internet marketing, start a WordPress blog. This is a good way to showcase your skills and make money online. WordPress blogs are easy to create and manage. Once you install a theme, you can write your first post right way.

    There are some sites online that allow you to sell your fitness/yoga services as an instructor to students. They pay a set fee and you get a percentage and the instructions are carried out via webcam, so the person receiving the yoga instruction can do their exercise in privacy and comfort. This is just one option. Do a basic search of Google and you can find such sites online.

      If you need money to live on now then I would search for websites where you can hire yourself out as a teacher for now - you'll pay a little commission but what the heck - money coming in right?

      For the longer term - As most above suggested the way to go is start a Wordpress blog and write about your stuff. Link it to Twitter, Youtube, Facebook etc and get people interested in what you have to say, build from there and eventually you could be selling to your list and also visitors to your blog (this will become easier when you move to your own self-hosted blog. To learn this stuff isn't difficult (there are thousands of free articles all over the web) - it just takes a little time and application that's why the first paragraph is probably the way to go initially for some cash...

    You can become an affiliate marketer. Sell other people's products and services for a percentage from the sale.

    I would suggest you to create and build a blog on relevant niches of the passions you have in your life.

    For example you can build a blog about your favorite topics; 'yoga, spirituality, the Vedic scriptures of India, etc'

    Learn internet marketing strategies and just work on building up the daily traffic flow to your niche blog.

    Then look for relevant affiliate programs. You want to monetize your niche blog with relevant products and services. You can promote a Yoga Training eBook for an instance.

    Go to Clickbank.com and find affiliate products to promote. I highly recommend you to purchase the product first, try out yourself first, and then promote it online.

    Affiliate Marketing + Internet Marketing = $$ Online

    You just have to learn the right knowledge and take massive action with it!

    I hope this helps!

    I wish you the best of the best!

    Cheers!
