How to start making money for non English speaker

65 replies
My English is not good, so I can't write unique seo optimization articles for the adsense site. And i havn`t money for buy articles. So how I can earn some money for example 50-100$ in a month?
I have some technics skills in wordpress, seo (in my native language), but English is poor, so I don't feel better to go on Odesk as a freelancer, where is a high competition.
So I think about to create sites which have non unique content and to promote it in social networks. But i dont know is this good idea.
So what I can to do for making money in such condition? Sorry for my stupid question.

    Create sites for people that speak your native language. Not all websites have to be in English in order to make money. If you can write fluently in your native language, then you can earn money. Sure the traffic may not be as much as English sites but you should be able to make a little side income with a site in a different language.

    Also, you can teach others how to speak your home language on Fiverr or by starting your own membership course. Teach others how to speak fluently in your language and you could be making some decent money.

      Nobody interesting in Ukranian or especially Russian, today. Besides, I think where are a lot people who doing like this. So competition is high.

          No - he didn't mean (or say) that at all.

          Presumably, as a Ukrainian speaker, yourself, you also have fluent or almost-fluent Russian, too? I appreciate that they're two languages, not one, but very similar, I think? That's an enormous online market for affiliate marketing (and various other things as well). Have you thought about doing something in Russian rather than in English?

          .

            i am russian speaker and also speak ukranian very well. Online market in such languages is very poor, so PPC is low, so maybe is better and easy to get some $ from english market + it is an opportunity to learn English well. You don`t know that in a few months this Russia or Ukraine will be like Africa or worse. Because there are stupid, foolish government!
            I have some adsense sites on russian but PPC is very low. So i just want to know which better direction for me:
            1) autobloging - creating sites with non unique articles
            2) social networking
            3) freelance but i don`t know how

        Maybe you could try to write some articles in English and then pay someone to proof read them (correct them) You can find people on fiverr who will proof read your articles for a lot less than if you ask someone to write the whole article.

        Good luck - It's terrible what's happening in Ukraine at the moment.

          It has spent a lot of time to write articles + time to rank in google for long tail keywords. So to earn 50-100$ in a month from adsense it will take 6 months in good case.

    Have a look on fiverr.com and see what services are there that you could also offer - I'm thinking things like graphics, coding, or even something like quirky like "I'll sing Happy Birthday to You in Russian or Ukrainian for $5". or "I'll do a graphic of your name in Cyrillic script for $5" I know $4 (which is what you'll get after fiverr take their cut) isn't much, but you'd only need to do 3 or 4 a week to make $50 a month.

    Good luck, and stay safe!

    I guess this what makes internet marketing "discriminational" - it must be terribly hard for you to get global attention and earn some $$ unless you focus on your region. Try to find some niche in Russian/Slavic speaking world (you mentioned you are from Ukraine) ? Or get somebody at fiverr or cheap outsourcing website for content?

    What have you been doing until now? Did you try to make some money online or is this your first time you want to try this out?
    If you have wordpress skills, and you can at least understand some English, then why not try Odesk or other websites? There are so many non-English speakers on these websites, offering their services, even in other languages.

    Also, I suggest you start learning English now! It will take you a while, but you are already conversing with us on this forum, in English! So, it's not like you're starting from nothing

      My level of English is not enough for write or rewrite text for long tail keywords on blog. I have doubt that those articles will be good ranke in us google.

        People are trying to helpful but truth is - you can't work effectively selling to market of people if you can't speak their language reasonably well.

        If you have sufficient technical skills you might try Fiverr or freelance sites but you seem reluctant to do that. I think perhaps your technical skills are not that high but that's a guess from what you've posted. If you have a service that is well priced and well done - competition isn't such a big issue.

        No matter what you try, it may not work. Someone has to say it. Working online is not magic. You must be prepared for the market you choose to work in - and a grasp of the language is basic.

          Find the money to pay for ads instead of focusing your attention on article marketing. That way, you will get results faster with paid ads.

    So what if I`ll create a site with stolen content from other sites? Put a nice looking theme, change title and images. And promote this site in fb, twitter, forgetting about google. If I can get traffic from social networks so can monetize with some PPC. So it doesn`t require a good knowing english.

      I'm well aware of that - I've done a lot of writing for several of them. I wasn't being rude - just being honest. Someone posting "I think your English is good enough" doesn't make it true.

      The most useful post in this thread is from Michael Fuentes. Did the OP follow up on that?

      What no one has mentioned is the potential for using his own native language to target the Ukrainian and Russian people in other parts of the world. I don't know the size of that market but I see Vietnamese people reading Vietnamese language papers printed in the US. Why not a blog in his own language?

      Wouldn't ex-pats from russia and Ukraine be interested in what's going on there - especially now?

        Today, many Russian webmasters run to the English IM. Because russian economics began collapsing. Ukranian worse. In Ukraine stupid government (which 99.9% are rich bad guys) wants that poor people go to war. So I do not want to fight with the Russian. I want to leave the country. I want to get some passive income which helps me to settle in another country in the beginning.

          Judging from your answers to suggestions, your English comprehension isn't that good, either.

          But then we get this:

          Right - you can steal what you want - and fake it...and since that appears to be the plan, I'm done here.

        That must be golden advise. There are HUGE Russian speaking minorities all over the world. 1 million in Germany alone, even more in Israel, 1.6 m in the US. Besides, Moscow used to be the most expensive city in the world. It has neighborhoods where house prices start at $20 million... Just find the right stuff to sell to these people.

      Yikes...that is just ridicuous

      You have been given good advice here...take it or leave it but I hope you do not try this nonsense

      1) affiliate program
      2) sell graphic products - graphics, web design (if you know how)
      3) Kay suggested selling to ex-pats in your native language/s

      Honestly your English is not good - yes, I am not fluent in other languages but I am not trying to make money in other languages LOL

    Don't focus on adsense. It's really hard to earn something on adsense. Stick with you skills. I'm sure also reliable wordpress services are much appreciated. Use the money to grow your own business. But I think it's really hard to earn with adsense these days from the beginning! Hope they end the war soon!!

    good luck!

  • Actually to earn as your target $50 to $100 it is not a big amount. Anyone can earn this amount easily form the online sector. If you know the Wordpress & SEO, it is a good chance to earn the money. You will be able to earn by using the Wordpress & SEO. beside these, you should learn ENGLISH. because it is international Language.

        I am also on the same boat. I am non-native English speaking person.

        What I find out that creating video is the only way I find that helpful to you to earn some money, considering that English is second language for you. Nobody is going to pay you unless you are providing some value in return.

        You can use your technical expert in SEO, Wordpress or making video skills which require less English. Look for the skills where English is not a problem for you. Than go for learning about it. I know that you are desperate and does not have much time to learn and looking for fast money. But remember that your skills are only thing which can earn you money not the freating about problem. So focus on building skills and work as much as possible to learn more and more and than move yourself to fiverr. There you can learn about trade or polish your skills.

    I think the easiest way is to leverage other peoples systems, ie sales funnels, so that they can do all the telling and selling for you. All you should do is create a simple squeeze page, even using free squeeze page creators online and then send them to the affiliate link of the product you're promoting. Some affiliate programs also provide email swipes, which means you can simply copy and paste, no need to write emails.

    There's loads of places to find affiliate products with high converting sales funnels, one of the common place is clickbank.com, others include JVZoo. You simply signup with them Free and browse the marketplace to see the offers. Let me give you an example of a completely FREE way to get started, if you're on a budget:

    1)lets say you're into "Make Money Online" niche, you goto clickbank.com, signup for free. Then goto a site like cbsnooper.com where you can see hot clickbank products. Find one in the top 10 that is a biz opp program. Then go to click bank and search for it. Once you find, click "promote" button and your affiliate link will be created.

    2) next you go mailchimp.com, signup for autoresponder. its free for first 1000 subscribers I think - You need this to build your list so that you can collect subscribers, build relationship, help your subscribers with tips and also send promotional offers.

    3) Next you can go to a place like squeezepagecreator.com and create your free squeeze page thats going to be the front end page to your affiliate offer, so once a visitor subscribe to your squeeze page, it redirects to your affilate link page of the offer you're promoting. .

    You will need to learn how to add your mailchimp code into your squeeze page.

    4) Traffic - There probably thousands of ways to get free and paid traffic, you can start off with free traffic classified ads like backpage.com craigslist, create youtube videos even in your language, you can target your community of people as well like this.

    The above is a simple business model which many have used to make money online with a simple ONE page website, ie your squeeze page.

    If you want, send me a private message I can send you my free report on some cool free traffic methods.

    Honest answer - get a skill that is visual - graphic arts, web design, creating videos (not voice over).
    You can sell graphics, webdesign to us people - they will overlook your grammar skills.
    However, it is unrealistic to think that you will be able to write articles, content etc that would be acceptable to anyone whose first language is English.

    Make a very visual website. Respond quickly and simply....the more non Engish speakers add "flowery" stuff to their replies the worse it looks. (example : My dearest Madam, most excellent, blah blah blah)

    You can generate traffic without writing blogs, nearly all of my income comes from traffic where I don't need to write a single article through video marketing.

    Learn to generate traffic through YouTube, it is definitely possible to make more than $50 a month especially when you scale it up

    You can create a website with your native language. But it would be difficult to get Adsense. Why don't you try some data entry job on Freelance market place? You can also learn Photoshop.

    Can you write a blog with in your native language? If yes, target locally.

    Example:

    Write blogs about love advice in your own language, drive traffic into it (it's more easier to get traffic and to rank).

    Don't sell yet, gain exposure and trust first before selling. After you gained the two, you can now sell.

    What I'm gonna sell? Good question.

    You can create a store in your blogs like T-shirt, mugs, or an Ebooks etc... (based on your chosen niche).

    You can even call some local businesses to promote their business via your blogs(banners, adspace) via monthly subcription.

    Always remember these:

    * Your weakness can be an opportunity.
    * Language is not a barrier if you have the DESIRE.
    * Brainstorm, think of an idea and take action.
    * Why fish in the ocean, if you can fish on a lake.
    * Always do what you love to do.
    * Dig first, money later.

    Guys forget about the Russian traffic. It is not commercial. Not many will buy some stuff like it will be in English world. And russian is just 5% of world internet traffic then english is 55% of whole world. And eCommerce in US ES more developed like it is in Russia.

    Believe me, what you really need, is a new mindset. There are opportunities everywhere, you just do not see them. Your mind sees only obstacles and rejects opportunities. It's all in your subconscious mind.
    Your English could be fluent, you could live in NYC, and you would still struggle.

    The good news is, this can all be changed. There are hundreds of different methods, programs and books available, but for now I'd recommend you'd buy yourself just one, and stick to it. Commit yourself fully to the path of change, be engaged with it at least 2 hours each day for a month - no matter what. The book is I Can Make You Rich by Paul McKenna. I checked, this book is translated into Russian, so buy that translation. Of course, you could read the English version too, but Russian is far better for you - all the more that this book comes with a hypnosis CD that you better use too. The Russian title of the book is this: Я сделаю вас богатыми. Пол МакКенна.

      I doubt about what. NYC is a big city and a big opportunity and a lot jobs at an offline. If my English would be the best I could write a lot articles at least. So 100$ in month will be no problem.

        $100, even $300 a month in NYC means living on the street. Would you REALLY want that?! Get the book, and start reading and doing the exercises...

    What you need is a new brain and a whole new personality.

    You've been given solid advice and all you did was brush them off as something that is not doable because it requires a bit of using the english language. Why ask in the first place?

    Seriously, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

    Here's another idea: have you thought about starting a website, in your native language even, and write about what's going on in your country right now? Like a news website, if you will.
    Also, the advice someone here gave you, about developing visual skills, is good! All in all, you have to start learning how to DO something, so have you managed to do anything up until now?

    I am Vietnamese. English is not my first language. Vietnam is still a poor country. No need to talk about the government here because you can know by reading the news (Vietnam - China sea conflict, never ending, who knows when there will be a war). And as you can see, my English is not perfect. I don't have IT skills like you. I was not born in a rich family. Currency inflation here is very high (1usd = 21.000 vnd). Polluted environment. Expensive goods and services but low salary. Rich Vietnamese people who buy expensive cars often are those who take advantage of corrupted economy and earn a lot from stocks/gold/petrol and real estates. There are no chance for common people like me to be that rich. There was a newspaper said that if a common person works a normal 9-5 job then it will take him 150 years to buy a house in the central to live.
    But..
    There are still some Vietnamese people earn by using their true skills and their willing to learn and adapt

    And..
    I am earning from Internet myself, with my unique skill of Moondancing, starting from Fiverr. Then I learn knowledge of internet marketing. I am more confident now with some of my projects that earning not much but I feel happy because I have freedom to do what I like
    So what are you gonna say?

    I agree that ALL YOU NEED IS A NEW MINDSET!!!

    If your English is not good, then STUDY MORE!!!
    I can see you have received many helpful advices. Why not at least try to TAKE ACTION to do it?

    My aoplogy for my hard words. I wish you best luck to have your own choices.

    Best regards

    Tu Michael

    PS: Why don't you look for a partner who can use fluent English (offline or online) to work with? You can offer your services with your skills and your partner will be responsible for finding and contacting clients. Revenue will be split. Fiverr, Elance, Odesk are good places to start. Don't mind the small money. Just take action and see the big picture. Again, a new mindset is required! Keep the faith, comrade!

    Well to be honest you can make $50 - $100 per day by simply doing this -

    1 join FB Groups
    2 post affiliate links in the posts on daily basis.
    3 this would hardly need and language expertise.
    4 moreover use social media services rather than article or content writing services on sites like odesk, elance or even FIVERR.

    I think this should help you.

    tumichael - Ukraine is the poorest country now then Vietnamese. Soon the country will be bankrupt like Greece.
    Vickcarty - I don`t think that such affiliate links in fb will convert in sales, because it look very spummy.
    NootropicBrain - Translate, transcribe, create web pages and SEO keywords - I thought about it but i think such content will not range in google very well. So from 100 articles it can bring only 1-2 people on site daily in good case.

    If you have skills in Wordpress, why not make some YouTube tutorials showing people how to perform simple tasks in the dashboard and monetize with Adsense? People always need help with websites.

    It would take a while to build up a good amount of videos and earn a decent amount, but it's a great way to start

    Resell some stuff online using the benefits of your location - eBay, iOffer, eBid, etc. No, I am not joking - the benefits of your location. There are active communities online that like and collect former USSR stuff - cameras, lenses, watches...
    I saw some vendors on eBay from Ukraine selling camera lenses for $200-$400. You could probably get them for less than $50. Film photography has its own niche right now and is not dead.
    That way you would be able to collect some money for relocation or other needs. In the same time get some freelance skills, make website and start sell your service online charging western rates (because you won´t be desperate for money). With your own site and laptop you have a virtual company - you just need clients and you can work from anywhere in the world.
    Or create some digital product and sell it online (for instance - an eBook which will solve some problem - you can pay $50 some on oDesk to write it for you, price it at $19.99) - and then sell, sell, sell...You have all the advice on the WF. Just SEARCH.

    Of course, in the meantime, improve your English but not for writing articles - for communicating with your clients.
    Play on your strengths (location, skills, some other advantage...), not your weaknesses (writing on bad English).
