How to make money online without any skills?

I make good money with mobile applications, you can read my free e-book, this requires minimal technical skills and it is easy to get the ball rolling quick.

Like every other system though you have to actually put the work in to make any money with it, but I understand that what works for others might not work with you.

I started my Internet Marketing career with 'Bring the Fresh', before that I was only a web designer and programmer. I definitely recommend Mike Long and Kelly Felix's product to any aspiring internet marketer.

Unfortunately, to truly make a stable income online, you will need to pickup various skills, such as writing, creating websites, creating videos etc. However, if you have some money that you can invest, then you can simply outsource most of these tasks. All you need is some knowledge.

The truth is that there is some techical set up and a learning curve to every real business model. Blogging works great for newbies. Before I set up my blog, I had never used Wordpress at all. Outside of the initial set up, there isn't really any techie stuff. I suck at that crap, and if I can do it, so can you.

It's quite easy, especially if you go through a legitimate program and not one of those fake "software" pieces-of-crap courses. Once you have laid the foundation, it's just a matter of pushing out content. When it comes to making real money online, content is where the value comes from. The coolest things about blogging to me are the residual aspect of it and that I can work at my own pace.

Good luck,
Joey

You could try venturing into affiliate marketing.

My advice to you is to get the skills you need - not look for a way of making money online that requires no skills.

You can do this by buying a quality course that'll take you step by step through the entire process.

At the end of the day, you NEED to learn these skills to succeed online, otherwise it'll always hold you back and you never make what you're fully capable of.

Let me turn that round. "I want to make money offline. I already tried a couple of training courses but they didn't work."

What does that make you think? You tried the wrong training courses? Maybe you didn't actually concentrate on the courses and didn't make any effort to implement what you were being taught?

Does it make you think you need to reassess the type of work you are looking for or the type of training course you want to do?

Hi
Do you know what you actually want to do? Many courses go through the actual mechanics of setting things up and will show you from start to finish how to get set up in their particular area. You don't need technical skills for this and if you follow what they are showing you then you should be OK. If you are stills struggling try outsourcing the work you can't do to others but don't let this stop you in your pursuit of your dream.

At the risk of repeating what has already been said, you need to learn some skills.

Technical - setting up a blog, building a squeeze page, using an auto responder etc
Plus other skills - building an email list, writing emails, blog posts, perhaps sales copy, ...the list goes on.

There is a wealth of free information online and indeed on this forum alone.

No one is born with these skills & while we are all better at some things that others we have to learn if we want to earn.

The thing that separates people that achieve success from those who don't is the fact that successful people will invest time into learning about their craft and building a real business rather than looking for a magic bullet.

My advice is to roll your sleeves up & get stuck in. Pick one thing and keep at it until you are satisfied you know what you are doing & bingo you have a new skill.

Then move on to the next thing that you want to learn

Focus on what your good at and Pay others to do things you are not good at. I understand your not good with Technical stuff. Sounds like you need a good webmaster to help.

If you can't pay money then you can always try bartering.

Well, If you really have the desire to make money online, you have to pick up some skills. Keep in mind, you don't have to be an expert for everything; just pick something you think you can do and take action.

Also, you've only been a member of WF for less than a month so I'm going to assume that you are just new to IM. Don't give up yet. Stick to one way/program that's proven to work. By doing this, you should see some progress and results.

In my opinion the more important things to learn about are generating traffic to your website, blog or affiliate url, and building an email list.
If you have a products to sell, affiliate link or website / blog, and you can get enough traffic to it and have people sign up at a web form, you would be ready to go.
So start looking for thinks like autoresponders, seo (low competitive keywords when setting up a website or blog, and how to optimise a website for search engines), and driving traffic to a url.
There are many free resources for these availible online.

If you have money to invest then you can outsource skills, but doing this also requires skill... I do not think you can make money without some sort of skills,

Do you have a financial target? Is it written down? What does this target actually mean to you? What will it do to your life? Write it down.

Do you know what your obstacles are? You have mentioned the tech thing, that's one. Do you know what your natural strengths and abilities are? You will need them to create online income.

Infact discovering what your natural strengths and abilities are is perhaps the fundamental first rule that I teach anyone that wants to make money online. You may be surprised to know that the majority of people don't know what their "sweet spot" is.

You can find them out by asking family and friends who know you best and compare those answers to your own idea's.

Once you have this info you must see how you can utilize it to create an online income.

Example:

I did not know what was my natural abilities. I got some info from family who told me I was:

caring
honest
open
hardworking
great listener
creative
loved to help other people

This was a close match to what I thought about myself but having others say it confirmed things for me. Also, I had been involved in a mentoring program for years.

Putting it all together I realized I could mentor and coach people. This was my sweet spot, plus I had been self employed so knew how to create and run a business.

Result:

Mentor and coaching program teaching how offline strategies could be adapted to the online world.

Big result, excellent incomes etc etc.

Yes I needed to learn some tech stuff, but not that much and it only took a month or two. But all that is irrelevant if we don't know what we are good at first. Get this bit right and put your self into the best position to make some serious money online.

One more thing. You will NOT find wealth buying products that promise massive amounts of money in short spaces of time. It DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!! Please here that!

Yes there is a lot more I could share with you put PM me if you need more help.

Thanks

They say you cant teach an old dog new tricks... Thats BS. If you want to really get into this game then you can do, all you got to do is teach yourself some skills.

Set yourself some goals and start working at ticking them off your list. Buying programs that you think will make you money almost never works, you need to know the best way to use them, thats where the skill comes in.

Think outside the box and the money will come.

If you know how to READ and WRITE a comment, you can make money online.

How? Simple, create a redirect site for an affiliate program that appeals to a particular group of people.

Find where those people hang out online and engage them in a discussion. Article comments, blog comments, forum posts, Twitter @, Facebook group comments, etc

Don't spam. Engage them in a conversation regarding their needs and position the conversation to the point where they ask YOU for advice. That's when you share "info" not spam. The line is thin and it takes discipline not to cross it and destroy your credibility.

Every post you make must build up your credibility. Each and every response you make is a chance for you to brand yourself as a credible, authoritative, trustworthy MEMBER of the COMMUNITY.

That is how you market in an ETHICAL and SUSTAINABLE way. Anything else runs the risk of spamming.

You can read a thread I wrote earning money with YouTube traffic system.
It's a free method that I would like to share.

I know a lot of people who have no technical skills but they have selling skills and management skills and skills like that. But you need some skills you are running a business at the very least you need that skill.

You need/must have some skills to work online, it's like anything else in life, if you have no idea what you're doing you'll get nowhere fast. My suggestion is to figure out first what you're interested in doing and developing the basic skills you need to be good at it and go from there. Good luck.

start a blog in a niche you are passionate about,write high quality articles, rank it using SEO methods, monetize it with adsense, profit

Yes you can start MMO with minimal skill, but that means you'll have to outsource a lot, i.e. writing, programming. But you'll still need some basic know-how : basic copywriting, setting up a simple blog, setting up autoresponder.

Fact is, IM is very fluid. As you repeat what you do, you can learn as you go. It's the experience that will teach you. Really, you don't have to know it all in the beginning. Just start from somewhere, and you'll find out "I need skill XYZ to do ABC"

If you feel you don't have a skill, LEARN IT!!

Nowadays you can get practically anything you want to learn from Google. There are bunch of how-to blogs and free ebooks spread everywhere. I have a chemistry degree, totally no background in IT, leave alone marketing, and I even gave headache to my autoresponder support because I asked too much to make a simple split test . But heck, I keep learning.

I mean, if the n00b little me can do it, yes you can too.

To earn money, you need skill, no matter whether it is on line or offline. When you want to get some money, that have to come from someone's pocket, right? If you fail to influence the person with your skill and/or product, he will certainly not open his hand to make you money.
There is no shortcut for success, no ethical shortcut for earning as well. Develop yourself, money will come automatically.

You don't need skillz.... If you have a brain, the desire to win, a plan that works for you, and you take action then you have everything you need. Quit buying products - you don't need em. Become a product creator.... But "Oh I don't have any skills" I hear you say...

Partner up with people that have skills. All you have to do is be the boss.

Hi Balbir, I guess you have received several useful suggestions. I have a question for you. How come you have a website saying makemoneywithbalbir.com when you don't make any money yourself? (I ended up there via your Twitter page.) Wish you all the success in your online endeavours.

You don't have any skills? Get some!

Find one aspect of internet marketing which you find appealing - and then FOCUS on it. One thing you absolutely want to AVOID is jumping from one "quick money" method to the next. Pick one thing, focus on it and see it through - tings require time and effort and if you jump from one thing to the next you'll never see anything through to the stage when the benefits are reaped and you'll eventually get disheartened and probably quit. It's easy to be attracted to the big "$500 a day" headlines - but move past them ... do some research for yourself, find something you think you like and focus on it.

How are you at writing? You could start by learning about keywords, SEO, etc and then offering your skills as an article writer - although this is a fairly overcrowded niche presently. Nonetheless, some good writing skills and an understanding of keywords can be invaluable in nearly all aspects of internet marketing.
One way you might improve your writing skills is to dedicate some time to writing posts for a blog on a topic which you have an interest in.

People make money in all sorts of ways online - from those who provide services such as graphic design to those who run affiliate websites earning commission on someone else's products to those who actually create their own products, market them and sell them.

I would advise you to dedicate some time to improving your writing skills and also spend some time researching and learning about SEO - both on and off page. These two things will give you a fairly solid base to start from.

As it's what I work in myself I have to say that promoting products for Amazon is a fairly timeless way of making money online. You can use Wordpress to create your sites which largely removes the need for technical ability, and then with your writing skills simply write well researched and well thought out product reviews to target specific keywords. You'll need to spend some time on off-page SEO too to rank your website but once you get a handle on it - it's a pretty easy process!

Best of luck. Remember - one thing you definitely want to avoid is being dragged into different WSO offers one after the other - that's the best way to lose focus and give up prematurely! Pay for access to the War Room because there's heaps of invaluable content for FREE in there!

Frank Kern talked about that in a letter he wrote. His answer: Work at a fast food joint lol.

Anyways, you don't need to have too many technical skills to make money online. You can hire out the really technical things on Elance, Scriptlance, Vworker, etc.

As for making money, try affiliate marketing or info marketing.

Just be sure to not soak up too much information at once to avoid scattered focus. Stick with one thing that works then once you master that then go on and learn another skill.

Most of the skills you can learn are free of cost. You would not have to invest a great deal of money online. It is just skill thing that you learn with passage of time. However, I am newbie to if you compare me as an affiliate but it is good to start with HostGator than any other web hosting company.

All The Best

I think you can learn valuable skills as you go-- I write fulltime, and am slowly learning other skills as I go. The hardest thing for me? I can't afford to hire myself right now, meaning I have to take client work for income before I focus on my own sites

I don't know anything about the stock market but I want to make a lot of money investing in stocks... I hope that doesn't sound good to you because it basically what you are saying. You will need to learn something first, its impossible to just accidentally click something online and make money, it just doesn't work that way. Read and read and read until you do know something and then do it... if you fail, then repeat the process and get back to reading and try again.

I’d suggest selling stuff on eBay or Craigslist. All one really needs to know is how to take pictures and do basic customer service.

I would suggest if you want to make money online without skills to join affiliate programs and hire writers. You could also have them create copywriting and upload content for you. Of course, this takes money so you might need to work a job for awhile to get ahead.

You would be best served to learn learn learn. There are great places through out this forum for you to educate yourself for free. I hate to say this, but if you haven't got some good start up money to outsource everything you will need to develop some skills. The upside is that they don't take very long to learn.

I would also suggest that you look around here for a mentor in your niche. There are so many ways to make money that you will need to pick your first method and stick to it until you succeed. You may fail a hundred times but you will succeed! You simply need to keep at it.

Newbies tend to fall victim to shinny SHI$ syndrome. They get really excited about how much money they can make with this new even less work product, and then they fade and say it didn't work. What really happens is that feel alone and ripped off because you aren't making money yet. The truth is. The person you just bought from has been working "their system" longer than you and know all the ins and out's.

Push button incomes do exist but there is a ton of work that goes into setting it up. I don't want to discourage you. This business fun, extremely rewarding , and easy once you know what you are doing. If you decide to hop programs in your pursuit of fortunes that is what you will spend. I am sure there are a bunch of people who will help you figure out how to make money on this thread, I would prefer you take what they say and research each angle and find the one that fits you best. Then stay with it to the end.

I know none of this is what you wanted to hear, but I would like it if you were still around in 5 years to extend the same courtesy to someone in your shoes.

when you were born you didn't have the skill to walk but eventually after trying and failing and again trying and failing numerous times..you got the skill to walk, so go ahead discover what could do and the skill will come.
1 more thing- dont be afraid to fail because after failures you learn something and that no course or ebook can teach. good luck

If you think you are not good when it comes to technical you can always look for something where you're good at. Know your strengths and what you love to do and you may search jobs with what you love to do. If you want to put up an online business choose the one that you know for you to earn online.

Have you considered affiliate marketing? Just pay someone to create a site for you, and the affiliate program will provide you with the ads to display, you simply add content to your site and find a good SEO company to help you get the traffic. After you make some money repeat the process for a new site an Voila! you are on your way to making money.

If your aim is to have a stable income online, then you might want to exert effort in learning some basic technical skills in order to get your business rolling. It's not that hard to gain the knowledge, especially if you can afford programs and trainings that you can also avail online =)

Hi,

I do not have any technical either, but I have found that ebay works for me. I think you need to sit down and think what do you want to do and just go for it!

Making money on fiverr.com does not require much technical skills and its quite easy, you wont be making a fortune on it however.

hello, i see people suggesting writing, affiliate, ebay, fiverr etc. Mind you all these things need little or more skill to start making money..But this thread says "How to make money online without any skills"
> I will say if you dont have any skill then you must have good investment budget to start making money online. you just do outsource any project you want.

> Then the next thing is to become a broker [middle man business] which i believe require little skill to achieve the desire result.

Learn if you don't have any skill, then it is time to learn one. make Google search engine and WF your friend. lots of resources here can also help you.

If you don't want to make a living out of this, then all you need to do is to be able to read and write fairly well.

If you do want to make a living out of this, then you absolutely need an arsenal of skills. Skills that are both technical and personal. Stop looking for the magic "make money" button, because it doesn't exist.

Disclaimer: this isn't true if you have a **** load of money, but you'll just waste the money because you don't know what you're doing.

Simple. Outsource everything you can't do and "do everything you can do"

If you want to make money online, you will have to pick up some of those skills eventually. My advise is to start off with article marketing and Web 2.0 properties such as Hubpages, Squidoo and Blogger. They are free and easy to use.
