international money maker

An easy way to start working with brands is by joining an influencer network. These networks connect you to opportunities for sponsored posts on both social media and a blog (if you have one).

11. Create products & sell them online

You can also create products and sell them online. Jessica of Cuddly Potatoes has turned her adorable comics into all sorts of items – stickers, keychains, postcards…and she will eventually sell plushies.

If you’re not a physical creative with artistic skills, you can even turn to digital products (spreadsheets, videos, photos, etc.) and sell those in the marketplace.

12. Make money using Pinterest

Believe it or not, you can make money pinning.

Okay, I’m not talking about repinning your fashion faves or bucket list travel destinations.

But there are a few ways you can actually make money using Pinterest:

Use Pinterest to promote affiliates (click here to read more)

Write monetized blog posts, and directing Pinterest traffic to your blog

Use Pinterest to advertise your products and services

13. Offer virtual assistant services

Virtual assistants work remotely to help entrepreneurs and businesses with administrative tasks, research, scheduling, etc. If you have office experience, or if organizing your email inbox fills you with an insane amount of gratification, you’ll probably be a perfect virtual assistant.

14. Multi-Level Marketing

You might think about multi-level marketing as a scheme where you host parties and sell to your friends. Have you ever been to one? I remember the fun Mary Kay parties hosted in my mom’s living room, but these days MLM “schemes” get a bad rep.

Companies to Get Started:

Stella & Dot
Wine Shop at Home
Wines for Humanity
YoungLiving

15. Invest intelligently

Don’t just follow anyone’s advice about investing. Always, always do your research and make educated investments.
