I can tell you the exact methods that I used to make money online. It took me about 6 months to learn the basics of writing, content marketing and website building. During the learning period, my earning was zero.
If you are looking for magic then you are in the wrong place.
The reality is that..
The Internet cannot give you instant money but you can build long term wealth from the internet
Quick tips for you
- Data entry jobs providers are mostly scams. Don’t waste your time & money.
- There is no quick way of earning money except in crime & scams. Stay away from both.
- If you are in immediate need of money, then get a personal loan and work hard to pay off the loan as soon as possible.
You can earn a lot of money online, if
- If you have a passion to learn a new skill (like content writing, SEO, designing, video editing)
- You can work on starting a profitable blog and expect some income in 6-8 months depending on your smart work.
All you need is an internet connection, laptop and less than Rs. 10,000 to start online business.
The only way to get success in life is to learn (a profitable skill) and invest in our knowledge
(Ask yourself, can you invest $10 today for your learning?)
If you are still reading, means you are willing to work hard to make an online income, right?
11 Proven Ways to Make Money Online
#1. Become a Freelancer
If you are a good programmer, designer or marketer then you can find a lot of paid online jobs in India. You just need to be patient and willing to learn more.
You need to have two skills to become a good freelancer. One is your core skill, and the second skill is marketing. If you are not a good marketer, then seek help from an experienced marketer to make your profile. You have to have excellent communication skills to get clients.
I have written two in-depth articles on how to earn up to Rs. 5000 per article as a Freelance writer.
#2. Learn Stock Market Trading
You don’t need any money to start a freelance work but you would need a little money to start your career as a stock trader.
You can earn money online by doing stock trading if you know how to pick the right stock. You need a demat & trading account to start trading.
I must make you aware that you may lose money in stock trading so better to start with less money and invest more time in learning the basics of stock trading.
I have written an article on intraday stock trading in India for beginners. You can read the article if you want to learn the basics of stock trading.
Discount brokers are best for intraday trading as they charge fix brokerage up to Rs 20/trade irrespective of trade volume. You can check the reviews of my 3 favorite discount brokers 5paisa review, Upstox review and Zerodha review.
#3. Become a Consultant
You can sell your advice and knowledge to many people. You don’t have to be a super expert in one domain to become a consultant or teacher, you just have to be better than your student or client.
I acquired content marketing skills by working with a lot of startups. Sometimes I got success and sometimes failure, with every failure I learned something new in content marketing. Now people call me content marketing expert and gladly pay me Rs. 5000 per hour for my advice over the phone/skype.
I help them in making a content marketing plan. They get more business by running better marketing campaigns.
Anyone with a core competitive skill can become a consultant and find clients online. For example, if you are a legal or finance professional, then you can make your website, and start attracting clients online.
You can either monetize your existing skills, or learn new skills that make money online.
Don’t expect to make quick money without having skills.
I am saying it again, It is possible to learn online skills in few months of dedicated time.

#4. Earn Online Money from YouTube
You might not know that people are making millions from youtube. Again, not an easy option, but very much doable for anyone who can record & upload videos on a particular topic.
Two kinds of people can make successful YouTube channels, one who make funny & entertaining videos, second who can make highly helpful videos for a niche audience (like students, mothers, housewives, tech geeks).
You can go through our in-depth guide on how to earn money from YouTube, where we have shown examples of successful people who are making money on YouTube, we shared step by step process of making a YouTube channel, how to market & grow your channel, and which tools you may need to create & promote videos.
#5. Make Money from Facebook, Instagram
There is no limit on the earning potential through Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Hey, I am not cracking jokes. There are people out there who charge as much as 20,000 rupees for just one tweet or Facebook post. Now close your mouth, it’s true.
Here are some of the ways that I am aware of, to earn money through Facebook. I myself paid money directly to admins to promote my content on Facebook pages (not to confuse with Facebook advertisements).
The social media fan base is an asset for such people, most of them are in the entertainment domain. People related to fashion and entertainment domain can monetize their Instagram page. You can check the fan base of BhakSala, Gabbar Singh and StoryPick, and you can imagine how valuable those can be for any company who want to advertise on such pages.

#6. Buy & Sell Domains
You may not know but you can rent your website if you have good traffic. I learned this method of making online income when I was working with a client in the real estate domain. Rather than building out his website from scratch, he rented out a website from a guy who already had the traffic, with people interested in buying a home in his local area.
My friend was not interested in buying his website, so he asked to get his website on rent for a few months. He collected the leads by showing his properties on the website. He returned the website back after selling his real estate inventory.
Isn’t it interesting? All our life we thought that only physical offices & houses can be rented 🙂
The other option is selling your domain if you have a good SEO score (Domain Authority) or you own a domain with a special name. My favourite social media scheduling company, buffer, bought buffer.com in $600,000 last year. In a similar way, you can buy expired domains and sell at a higher price to people who need that. Honestly, domain trading business is tricky and you have to be an expert even to start, otherwise, you may lose money.
But, if you already have a domain and not using it, you can try selling on marketplaces like Flippa.com
Note: I own more than 50 domains at this time. I keep on investing in the domains and this year I sold one domain in $15,000 (equivalent to Rs. 10 lakh). When you start working on your online business then you will also learn how to make money from the domain selling.
#7. Income from Writing Work
I never thought I will ever become a writer. I started writing for my startup blog and found a connection with words.
Honestly, I was never good at English and still working on improving my grammar. Today, most of my businesses run based on my writing skills.
I learned that formal education is not required to become good at any work.
If you like writing, then just start it. There are many experts available online who are willing to teach you write good copies.
Trust me, many companies are looking for good writers but it is difficult to find writers who write well. You can be the next one. A good writer charges between 5,000 Rs to 20,000 Rs per article.
If you are good at writing:
Then this article can help you earn money through your writing skills.
Note: If you think that you can write well but do not have any clients, then you can send me sample of your work. I do not guarantee any work but I will try my best to get something for you based on your capability.
#8. Start Blogging to Earn Money Online
You can make money from your writing skills in two ways.
- Write to someone and make money immediately
- Write for yourself and make money slowly, but consistently
That is the difference between a freelance job and owning a business. Your blog can be your online business, it will take some time to build your audience. But once you start earning money from blog, then your blog generate money even when you are sleeping.

#9. Make Money with Affiliate Marketing
Starting affiliate marketing is similar to running a retail shop. You signup with retailers like Amazon and Flipkart, promote your favourite products on your website and social media to make decent money.
I am discussing affiliate marketing as a separate option because it can fit with any kind of online business, in some scenarios people don’t even own a website but make money through Affiliate marketing.
I simply curated a list of my favourite books and linked to Amazon so that interested people can buy books.
Three people bought on the same day and I earned a small affiliate commission. If someone goes to the amazon website by clicking your link.
You can start promoting affiliate links in Facebook groups, online forums, and write product reviews on LinkedIn, Quora & Medium.
I have recorded video on how affiliate marketing works
#10. Start a Product Startup
That is the most beautiful and profitable way of running an online business. I failed at two startups but got success at content marketing. You never know how a startup can help in your growth.
You have to work hard to make a product that customers want to buy. The whole process of starting a product company, hiring a team, selling the product is very exciting.
There is a big market in personal finance space, you can start a company or blog to facilitate loans people with low credit score, or providing a credit limit to people with a high credit score.
There are many use cases in India, UK and USA to explore further.
#11. Open a Digital Store (Shopify, Woo-Commerce or Marketplaces)
You must be having some products in mind to sell on an online store – it could be electronics, designer jewellery or handkerchiefs.
You should start with
- validating idea,
- set up the store,
- procuring products and
- finding customers.
Time for Action
I can keep sharing information but nothing gonna help you until you take the action. People are afraid of failure and they don’t start anything.
Take the first step and you will see the light ahead.
I am sure you can pick one idea from my list of 100 online business ideas. I have covered all industries like Finance, Tech, Travel, Fashion, Shopping, Education, Food, Jobs, Politics, Bollywood.. Whatever you can think, I have shared so many ideas for online business.
If you are interested in the stock market investment, then start investing through a best demat broker in India.

You can, but your blog should be sustainable in the long run if your intention is to earn income from it. You might have to cover more topics rather than just real/estate hostels scenario in Dharamsala.
