To start a free blog, first of all, you need to:

Popular Blogging platforms :

Joomla (freemium)

*Freemium means free with premium/paid options as well.

At bloggers and wordpress.com, you can write blogs for free but there are limitations,

if you want full control over your website then you need to have your own domain and hosting.

What is the Difference Between Domain and Web Hosting?

I also started my blogging career in bloggers(Blogspot),

but later on when I understand the basics and needs then I switch to wordpress.org. With my own domain and hosting.

I always recommend new bloggers start with a free platform (bloggers/BlogSpot).

EARNINGS: Very High (no limit)

2. Youtube (Become a Youtuber)

Yes, you heard right you can make money by uploading videos to YouTube.

Nowadays most people prefer YouTube to google search.

And it takes only a few minutes to create your channel and upload videos.

But I suggest uploading videos according to your interest so that you didn’t get bored and enjoy creating videos.

You know most of the YouTubers start the channel, upload some videos and then quit. Why?

Because they don’t know what to upload next. That’s why I recommend to everyone that before starting the youtube channel first decide your niche.

How to Pick a Blog Niche Correctly in 2022

What you need to have before starting a Youtube channel:

A perfect channel name. (Your brand name like FindMyTricks)
Niche (like my niche is blogging and I love writing on this topic)
Ideas for the next 20 upcoming videos. (prepare a list of 20 topics in your niche before starting)
Basic SEO knowledge.
Social appearance. (it’s better to create Facebook, Instagram, etc profiles with your brand name before you start)
Laptop or Mobile. (laptop is better)
Internet connection.

That’s all.

3. Freelancing (Master a skill and quit job)

Freelancing is another popular way to make money online.

Basically, a freelance job is one where a person works for themselves rather than for a company, they are ultimately self-employed.

Freelancers work on a temporary basis and provide services to companies or organizations.

Here, you can work as a content writer, or web designer, or provide services like data entry, etc.

In simple, you can provide service to those people who are willing to pay for their work.

A lot of sites are there for freelancers. Just visit, sign up, fill up your profile and start working at home.

I also posted jobs on freelance sites whenever I need someone to work for me. Like I recently posted a job to change my Logo and Favicon.

You can also get work there if you have the potential to work online virtually.

They (freelance sites) also recommend you or give you a badge according to your performance, which is very helpful for your profile to get work.

Many content writers, web designers, etc are earning 1000’s of dollars every month from these sites.

If you are good at any profession then you must try these freelance sites.

4. GPT & PTC Sites (get paid to & paid to click)

GPT sites pay money for completing their online surveys, watching videos, playing games, tasks, and referring to friends.

While PTCsites pay for viewing and clicking their ads.

Easy, yes it’s undoubtedly one of the best, easiest, and most comfortable ways to earn money online without investment.

No age restrictions, simply signup and log into your account.

5. Captcha Solver Sites (The easiest one)

If you have some free time, then you can earn extra income in your pocket by working as a captcha solver.

This is one of the easiest ways to earn money online in your free time.

You just need to read the captcha images and type the exact characters, but you need to be very fast in order to earn well.

If your typing speed is 30+ words per minute then you can earn better than others.

As everyone knows what a captcha is and how some software uses bots to fill up these captchas automatically.

If you are using google chrome then you know about chrome extensions to fill up captchas without typing manually.

Now I hope you understand why they pay you for solving captchas.

But honestly, earnings are low so I don’t recommend this method for those who are looking to earn for their living.

Top Captcha Solver sites:

EARNINGS: Low

6. Amazon Mechanical Turk (For side incomes)

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a system that allows you to complete micro-tasks on the Amazons Platform for money.

18. Quora “Question & Answer Platform” (Knowledge=Money)

As you know Quora is one of the best and most popular Question & Answer platforms in the online world,

where you can get your answers from real people and you can ask questions or give answers for free.

But you know you can also make money using this platform. How?

Okay, let me tell you, first of all, there are two ways through which you can earn.

Quora Partner Program

This one is invited only, which means quora can only invite you for this program.

In this, you can make money by asking questions. Yes, you heard right you can make dollars by just asking questions.

But as I said this is an invite-only program.

Visit Quora, sign up, and start asking questions, if you are getting decent views in your questions then they will invite you to the program.

I saw many people getting invited by just asking 4-5 questions.

So, visit and create a decent profile. Start asking questions and gain followers.

Quora Space earning beta program

Just like the Facebook page, Quora has Quora space. Here you can create your space, share content, build community, gain followers, etc.

Quora recently launched this program which’s why it is still in the beta version.

You can earn in 3 ways,

1. Ad revenue sharing

In this program, quora will show ads in your space and pay you for your audience engagement.

So share good content, quality answers, etc. if you want to earn from this program.

There are no minimum eligibility criteria for this program.

Anyone can create a Quora space just like a Facebook page.

In your space, you can share the answers of others.

(In fact, quora give suggestions to share answers in your space, so you don’t need to find content for your space).

Just go to your suggestions tab and share as much as you can.

You can also use their queue tab where you can queue your contents for the upcoming days or months.

You can also set the time and the quantity for your queue.

One more thing you don’t need to promote your space, quora automatically promote it for you.

2. Quora+ revenue sharing

Quora has started its membership plan to access full content on quora. Your space can join this program and earn by referring to Quora+.

The benefit is you can get paid without offering a monthly or yearly subscription to your subscribers on your space.

3. Space subscriptions

You can start monetizing your space by offering monthly or yearly plans to your subscribers.

Your space subscribers can access your content but to access full content they need to subscribe to your monthly or yearly plan.

You just need to provide valuable content to your subscribers.

The minimum payout and threshold are $10. You can payout to your account immediately when your account reached $10.

Quora ad revenue is one of the trending ways to make money online without investment.

You may wonder how influencers make money or if it is worth the time.

It’s actually an interesting phenomenon because many large brands are looking to influencers for marketing help.

Influencers are an up-and-coming career choice. Influence marketing is a quickly growing industry.

The way the social media sphere works has created an opportunity for individuals who are not celebrities can get popular,

by creating niche content, posting consistently, and interacting with followers to break through to even bigger opportunities.

It is a social media strategy where a business pays a social media influencer to post about it.

This can be done in many ways, such as an Instagram post, Twitter sponsorship, blogging, interviews and more.

Basically, it is a form of marketing in which reputable people, called influencers, promote products to their influencer network on behalf of an advertiser.

Influencer networks are groups of social media users with large followings who post quotes,

or ads across different channels-they can include Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

In recent years, the use of influencers in brands’ social media marketing strategies has grown exponentially.

In simple words, it is the process of using social media influencers to market or promote products or services.

and referring potential customers to their businesses through unique content creation.
