7 QUICK Ways To Make Money Online in 2023

Having an online business can be a blessing. If you can set it up properly, it will provide you with financial, time, and location freedom. But getting to a point where your online business generates passive income on complete autopilot takes a lot of time.

So what if you need money fast? What if you want to make money online immediately?

In this article, I will show you seven quick ways to make money online as a beginner with no previous experience. Some of these will be harder; some will be extremely easy. Some are simply different apps you can install on your smartphone and get paid for.

So, let’s get into it right away.

1. Sell your social media accounts

This one would require some previous work. You need to have some social media accounts, and you can sell immediately and get paid quickly. In this article, I will show you two different platforms where you can sell your social media account. The first one is Socialtradia. On this website, you can buy or sell your Instagram account. To sell your account on SocialTrends, it needs to have real followers and activity.

From the screenshot above, you can see that people are selling their Instagram accounts for $2,500, $16,000, and even as high as $19,000. That’s a lot of money to be made fast on the internet.  The worth of your accounts depends on how many real followers you have. If you have an Instagram page or an old Instagram account with 3000 followers or more, you can sell it for $100 or $200 and get paid pretty fast.

And another platform where you can sell your Instagram account is PlayerUp. PlayerUp is a marketplace where people come to buy, sell, and trade different social media accounts and gaming accounts. If you’ve played some games in the past and you have some accounts, you can now sell them on the PlayerUp Marketplace. If you have some social media accounts like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, you can sell them on the platform and get paid fast.

So this is one of the quickest ways to make money online. But what if you don’t have any social media followers but still want to make money online? I have other alternatives for you.

2. Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest ways to start generating profit online because, with affiliate marketing, you don’t need your own product or service to sell. You don’t need a website; everything is built for you. All you need to do is drive traffic to the product you are marketing. You attract eyeballs to the offer and earn a commission when someone buys through your link.
So, for example, I’ve been promoting vidIQ as an affiliate for the past few months. Every month I earn about $1,000 in passive income because they pay reoccurring commissions, meaning when someone signs up through my link, I keep getting paid as long as they keep using vidIQ. Vid IQ is a tool that helps people get more views and subscribers.

I created a tutorial about how vidIQ works and included my affiliate link in the description. After watching the video, anyone interested must sign up through the affiliate link. That’s how I started making 1000s of dollars in passive income from this single video.

If you want to go this route but unlike me, you have not created any content to use in promoting your offer, there’s a way you can go about it:

Go over to YouTube and search for a video about anything you wish to promote. It could be a tutorial video about the item or a review. Copy the URL of the video and go over to sniply.io, which is a tool that will allow you to create a call to action for free.
So go ahead and create an account on Sniply, log into your account and create a Sniply link with the URL you got from YouTube.

You’re just going to paste the YouTube link inside the box when creating a Sniply link. Sniply allows you to add your affiliate link to the YouTube video promoting what you want to market.

That’s an awesome way to piggyback on another person’s work. The person has done the hard work of recording, editing, and publishing the video on YouTube. Yours is to get some rewards for the person’s hard work.

Once you have created your Sniply link, share it with others on social media. Whenever someone clicks to watch the video, it takes them to YouTube. While someone is watching the video, they will see your call-to-action button, the one that has your affiliate link embedded into it,” and if they click on this, it takes them to your affiliate link, where if they purchase what you are marketing, you can earn an affiliate commission.

You can create a free promotional design in Canva about what you are marketing. Download it as a PNG or JPEG file. Go to Pinterest, post your design with a title that will get people’s attention, and add your Sniply link as a call to action. You can publish as many of these various posts as you want to begin attracting attention. When people start watching the video, they will see your call-to-action button and might sign up or purchase through your link, earning you an affiliate commission.

3. Create a YouTube Channel, Promote it with YouTube shorts

YouTube shorts are currently the easiest and fastest way to grow on YouTube as a complete beginner. YouTube is pushing YouTube shorts as much as possible, trying to compete with TikTok. With hundreds of millions of views, YouTube shorts will help drive traffic to your channels. And then, you can monetize those views in many different ways or even sell the channel. You can also monetize it with brand deals, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing. And it’s one of the easiest and fastest ways to grow a YouTube channel.

4. Make money online by reading mails

Making money online by reading emails may sound too good to be true, but it is a legitimate way to earn some extra cash. This method involves signing up for websites that pay you to read and click on sponsored emails. While the amount of money you can earn by reading emails is relatively small, it can be a simple and easy way to earn extra income with minimal effort. Keep in mind that it’s important to research any website before signing up to ensure that it is legitimate and that you understand the terms and conditions of the program. One of the websites I will recommend in this article is Volutic.

Volutic is not one of the best ways to make money online; it will make you only a couple of dollars, but you’re being paid to read emails. And the reason I’ve included it is that it’s so easy to make money with it. You open up emails, click on the email, open it up, and you don’t have to read it. Another reason I included this is because of the low withdrawal threshold.

The minimum payout is only 0.2 dollars, meaning you need to earn 20 cents to withdraw your money. That’s going to be pretty fast. Once you get to 20 cents, you can instantly withdraw your money, unlike other make-money-online apps that tell you that you need to have like $50 or $100 in your account before withdrawing your money, which is ridiculous.

Head over to Volutic and sign up for free with your email address. To avoid receiving spam emails, don’t use your primary email address; they will be spamming you for a very long time. Create a new email account, connect that account, and receive emails from Volutic.

5. CPA marketing

CPA marketing is very similar to affiliate marketing. But it might be even easier for complete beginners because, with affiliate marketing, people need to buy something from you for you to earn an affiliate commission. Whereas with CPA marketing, because it stands for “cost per action,” people don’t need to buy anything, they don’t need to spend any money, they can submit their email address in most cases, and you’re being paid for it.

You can get paid $1 or $2 per email address you collect, making it much easier. If you go to CPAgrip, one of the biggest CPA networks, you can sign up for free and start promoting offers immediately. It incentivizes people to submit their email addresses because they’re like giveaways.

Create an account, and if you already have one, sign in. Go to “My Offers” and select top-tier countries like the US, Canada, and Australia. You will find different offers where people can submit their email addresses to win something. For example, they can win a PayPal gift card, and you will be paid for anybody that submitted their details through you.

So you can grab your referral link and start promoting it. You can use traffic sources like Propeller Ads to create a campaign and set up a push notification campaign targeting your CPA grip URLs. Propeller ads will show your notifications on someone’s desktop or phone. They’re going to see that as an actual notification. You can set the ads to read something like, “Congratulations, claim your $750 PayPal gift card, click here to claim it, or whatever.” Most people might click on it. And if they enter their email address, they can win something, but you will be paid for their email because they’ve become a qualified lead for that offer.

With a daily budget of about $20, you can get thousands of people to get that notification. Even if 0.1% of them sign up through your link, which will be about ten different people, that will still be $20 in revenue. So you get your investment back from that, of course. Depending on how you set up your campaigns and ads, that can be risky. So be very cautious when running ads directly.

6. Make money by searching on Google

Go to Google and search for businesses around the world. Those businesses can be anywhere in the world with an online presence. You will not sell anything to those businesses because that will take time. What you’re going to do, instead, is reach out to those businesses, email them, and explain to them how beneficial it is going to be for them to use email marketing.

Now go to PartnerStack, and click the menu link that reads Marketplace. Click the “Explore” button. Then search for “Sendinblue.” SendinBlue is an excellent email marketing software that allows businesses to email campaigns. SendinBlue pays you $5 per new account. With SendinBlue, businesses will not only retain their customers and make more money, but they can also get new customers and clients and make even more money.

Reach out to businesses and explain why email marketing is so important. Also, inform them they can sign up for SendinBlue and try it out for free. If they don’t want to use it, they don’t have to, but let them know the benefit. But either way, even if they don’t buy, you’re still going to make $5 per person that signs up through your link. And whenever you have a new paying client, you make an additional $100.

And as I said, there are millions of unlimited businesses that you can reach on Google by searching for a business keyword and then searching for a specific place around the world. It does not have to be in the United States.

7. Surveytime.io

I included this one because you can get rewarded instantly. You are rewarded with $1 for every survey you complete. This is the highest-paying survey website that pays you instantly. You are not required to wait for anything. You can answer a couple of questions and get paid immediately. Payments are made via PayPal or Bitcoin. You can also collect different gift cards like Amazon and Target, which I don’t recommend going with.

So you want to sign up with Google, Facebook, or email and start answering different questions, getting paid for each survey you complete. And each survey you complete earns you $1. If you complete ten different surveys, that’s $10 for a short period. This one will make you less money than the previous method we discussed. But still, it’s a very straightforward way to start making money immediately without worrying about whether someone will sign up through a referral link or buy something you are promoting. You have to answer questions and make a couple of dollars by doing that.
