reliable and scalable source of online income in India. Depending on your skill
set you have to decide which suits you mostly and start working harder on that.
Please do not expect that a huge amount of money will start to flow to your
bank account overnight.
1. Earn Money by Providing SEO and SEM Services to clients
Search Engine
Optimization
or SEO and Search Engine Marketing
or SEM is booming day after day in India and across the globe. Mostly small businesses, entrepreneurs and start-up
companies are hiring professional
Search Engine Optimizers or Marketers
as freelancer. These types of businesses always have some tight budget for
their promotional or marketing activities and mostly they cannot afford to appoint
an SEO or SEM service company and that is the reason they prefer to hire
individual freelancers for SEO or
internet marketing for their business websites or blogs.
Search Engine Optimization or Marketing is high
end skill set that is used to bring a website on the first page of Google with good
ranking for particular keyword/s. If you are capable of doing this then you
can utilize your skills to earn good amount of money month after month.
Unlike most other open source skills where
you design or develop something for your client and get paid one time but in
case of SEO, it is long term in nature and should be continued as long as one
business wants their website to be on the first
page of Google for their business keyword/s.
So if you can deliver good Return of
Investment (ROI) to your clients in terms of quality and targeted visitors/conversions/sales to their website or
business then they will be more than happy to pay you each month for your SEO
or SEM services.
Initially getting clients might look
difficult but first you have to understand and select your target market and
channels to promote your services. If you are an SEO trained individual or
professional then you can use different Social Medias to get initial clients by
sharing your knowledge and solving their SEO
related queries and problems on different communities and groups. This will
surely get you your first client. Always remember to deliver quality services
because that will bring more clients and
references to you. Build relationship
on Social Medias as because that
will matter at the end of the day.
Other than Social Medias, there are different
other types of websites from where you can get freelancing SEO or SEM jobs. We
all know about classified websites
like Quikr, OLX, Craigslist, Backpage, Gumtree etc. You can use these free ad posting websites to reach to
your prospective clients by simply posting
quality ads related to your SEO or Search
Engine Marketing services regularly (please do not spam those sites). There
are couple of websites like elance.com, seoclerks.com, fiverr.com, socialhawkers.com,
skillpages.com and other freelancing sites which can be utilized for the same.
2. Website designing can get you good amount of income
If you are a creative website designer then you can make good amount of money by
designing quality and attractive websites for different companies. Website designing
is comparatively easier and needs no pre technical skillset or educational
background. If you are creative by
nature and if you can design visually
beautiful websites then you can shine in this line. This is a bit tough
market because competition is very high in the local, national and
international market. But if you are good in this then you have to know how to
promote and sell your skills to others to get regular clients for web
designing. We would suggest you to focus on your local market first, build some (at least 10) quality websites and make
the portfolio which you can further use to attract
more clients beyond your initial targeted
market.
A good designer has many good prospective
ways on which they can work and earn regularly without any limits. You have to
be always industry ready in terms of web designing skill sets. Like, now-a-days
responsive websites are on trend and
indeed this is required to target or tap the huge mobile users. More and more companies are leaning to redesign
or re-launch their fresh responsive websites for their targeted audience. So if
you are good in responsive site
designing then you have a very good opportunity and market for you.
Do not limit yourself into website designing
only. Learn to design infographics,
web based business presentations, ebook covers, website logos and blog or wordpress
themes etc. These all are very good for regular earning.
3. Open Source Web Development as a very good source of income
There are huge demand in Open Source web development and mobile app development. So if you are a good and trained PHP, Wordpress or Joomla developer or if you are into Android mobile app development then
money is literally endless for you. The same thing, you have to sell your
skills to your prospective clients to get new projects again and again.
PHP is a server side web based programming
language so if you are fond of coding or if you are trained on PHP web development then you can start
working on this market. PHP is a very easy to learn and code programming
language so you can even learn PHP very easily if you want. Definitely a
programming background (minimum C language) would help you to understand and
code on PHP or on other open source frameworks.
4. Making money by creating Explainer Videos and video marketing
Explainer
videos are
on huge demand. More and more products or different types of services companies
are coming up with their new and innovative concepts and business models. These
businesses are using explainer videos to explain and market their products or services or the business model to their
targeted and prospective online consumers
or clients. Explainer videos are nothing but a simple web based video which
demonstrates one product or service in a very short span of time (mostly within
3 minutes) on internet.
Explainer video making needs different kinds
of skills, starting from designing, animating,
storytelling, content creating etc.
But if you are a good designer then you can start building explainer videos and
gradually you become an expert on that.
One high
quality explainer video can cost more than 1,00,000 Rupee. So this is quite
natural that all businesses cannot afford that much money for a 3 minutes video.
So there is a good demand of affordable
but quality explainer video making services in India and across the globe. Generally
one 3 minute’s simple explainer video costs around Rs 15K which can be created
within 2 days depending on the content, amount of animations etc.
If you are already into web designing then
you can utilize your skills and can learn explainer video making very easily. It may
sound difficult but practically explainer video making is very easy and one of
the highly paid services in the industry. It is just the beginning and
currently there is a huge gap between the demand of explainer videos and the
supply of affordable and quality video
makers.
You may think that like any other video making services, explainer video making will also need expensive
video cameras or video editing softwares.
But you are wrong we do not need any cameras or expensive softwares to make an
attractive and engaging explainer video.
The only thing you need is creativity and other than that you need to learn how
to make a 3 minute’s engaging, informative and attractive explainer video for your client. Even you can use these videos to market and sell your own
skills on internet.
Apart from video making services you can use
your own created and copyrighted videos
on your youtube channel and can earn
money with Google Adsense. The possibilities of earning are endless on
Youtube and the payment model is pay per
click (PPC) where you get paid when someone clicks on the ad on your Youtube
video.
5. Blogging as a regular source of income
We used to get numbers of calls daily from
different parts of India about blogging. Callers used to ask about how to start a blog, how to write articles, should they stick
to one niche or they should try different topics and mostly they ask about
whether they can make money with blogs
or not. Answer is yes a good blog can
earn money for you but as said earlier that this is not an overnight
achievement. It needs time, patience, consistency, dedication and basic or
advanced SEO knowledge. Starting a blog is itself a very good and intelligent move for a business or individual but starting a blog only with the motive of making money is wrong and eventually fails most of the time.
Blogs are basically created for knowledge
sharing purpose and as long as your knowledge and expertise is helping your blog readers you will make
money. So this is pretty simple that you have to have good or in-depth
knowledge on some topic or subject to write
articles on that. So if you are a good writer or a story teller or if you possess
good experience or knowledge on something then that should be your blog niche. Selecting the right niche or topic about your blog is very
important because if you have not selected the right niche then you cannot keep
on writing good and valuable contents
or articles on that. And if you cannot feed the information or knowledge hunger
of your blog readers then eventually your blog will die its natural death.
Apart from choosing right niche, having In-depth
knowledge on the subject and writing valuable contents you have to know or
learn the basics of Search Engine
Optimization and Internet Marketing
if you want to sustain and scale your blog.
If everything goes fine then you can earn good amount of money from your blog
and the earning grows with the age of
your blog, relationship you built
with other bloggers, readers and internet marketers on your blog niche on across internet, number of
reader base of your blog, quality and quantity of your contents
over time and of course the SEO and
promotional activities you do for your blog or articles.
6. Paid writing and review writing
Maintaining a blog and doing SEO or
promotions for your articles might be difficult and tiresome for you but if you
are fond of writing and if you have expertise on a subject then you can write articles for other blogs or
companies and get paid for each of your article. Companies are always looking
for good article writers on different
topics like Finance, Investment, SEO/SEM, Social Media, E-Commerce, Manufacturing
industry, Education, Career and Jobs etc. And it is very easy to write for
those companies. Payments vary with company to company, on your writing quality, on your expertise and
experience on the subject and even with the popularity of your previous contents.
There are numerous companies who pay for the reviews of products or services which they
are offering to the market. You can even write for them and can make considerable amount of money every month.
If you are good at using Social Medias then you can bag loads of projects on the above mentioned earning opportunities. Simply join different social media communities and groups and use them efficiently. Share your knowledge, post valuable and informative contents, help others with their problems related to your niche, build relationship with individuals or businesses on your trade using various social networking sites. This will help you over time and you will see a community growing around you slowly but steadily and that will give you more visibility on across internet and ultimately generate more earning possibilities.
Apart from all these six opportunities there are numbers of other ways which are good and reliable to make money online like Affiliate Marketing, E-Book Writing, Social Media Optimization and Marketing etc. But any of the way you select, you have to work hard and be patient and consistent to become successful on that.
