I’ve been in a 9 to 5 job for a couple of years. And a paycheck month after month wasn’t a bad idea at all. Only I wasn’t making enough money.
Not to mention I wasn’t living the life I wanted. Or as many of my friends like to say, I wasn’t living the American dream yet.
Soon after, I got into the make money online binge. And the only regret I’ve had all the while is why I hadn’t started sooner.
Having made $100 a day every day for 30 days, I realized that there was more money to make online than my day job ever paid in a month.
Today, I run an online business that earns me 6-figures a month. And looking back, I can’t be more grateful for taking the step to work online.
In this guide, I’ll show you tested and proven ways to make $100 a day online, so you can start making money just as I do.
Let’s get started.
1. Freelance Writing
Freelance writing is a big business on the internet, so you can easily get a share of the pie if you seriously tap into it. I’ve personally made some decent income from Pro Blogger job board, sometimes hitting up to $300 a day per gig.
And let me make something clear:
It doesn’t matter which country you come from or whether or not you’re a native English speaker. As long as you can read instruction and create content according to the brief provided, you can make a lot of money being a freelance writer.
2. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing requires some legwork upfront. Here, you start by putting in hard work now to earn later. And as long as you follow the right affiliate marketing blueprint to a tee, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t grow your blog to the point where it makes $100 a day – or even higher.
I run a niche site that makes me up to $3000 a month in passive income with very little effort put into it right now.
However, I did put in a lot of work to the site upfront, logging in tons of hours of daily work for 6 months before I could start earning. If you’re serious about doing the same, then give affiliate marketing a shot.
3. Create and Sell a Course
Do you have something interesting to teach people? Why not put that in a well-structured video course and sell it online? Online education is a booming business nowadays, and as long as you create a unique course that will give people value for their money, you can easily make $100 a day in passive income.
To make as much as $100 a day from an online course, you need to make sure the materials you create stand out from what’s already out there. For what it’s worth, your online course should not only be informative but also actionable.
4. Make Money with a YouTube Channel
YouTube is the largest video search engine on the planet. And it’s also the right platform to make money if you’re a serious vlogger.
It’s going to take a while before you channel grows. But once you get 1,000 subscribers, you can monetize your videos and earn up to $100 a day.
You shouldn’t worry about ranking YouTube videos that much, because this guide can help you. Focus on creating unique content as that will build you an audience and earn you money in future.
5. Complete Surveys
I have completed surveys for companies like Inbox Dollars, Pinecone Research, Swagbucks, and Google. And I must admit that the payment you get per survey isn’t that great.
But here’s the thing:
Signing up to as many survey websites as you can actually increases your chances of making at least $100 a day online.
I know folks who spend at least 4 hours a day doing surveys and they make quite a good amount from the same.
6. Engage in Research
I did a quick search on Upwork to see if this suggestion would fit. To my amazement, the findings here aren’t that bad.
Big companies, small businesses, new startups, and individuals from around the world are always looking for talents that can help them do research. Why not become part of the growing community of professional research freelancers on Upwork.
7. Sell Your SEO Services Online
Companies want to build an online presence, and they want to do that in a reasonable amount of time possible. The only problem is, sometimes they struggle to find the right talent to employ.
If you’re into SEO you can sell your service online and make money every day. You can create a gig on sites like Fiverr or cold pitch potential clients on Facebook or LinkedIn.
8. Get Paid for Virtual Assistance
I was once a virtual assistant before I branched out to starting something of my own. What I learned during that period is that there’s a lot to do online as individuals are always looking for freelance help to get different tasks completed.
So why not promote yourself on freelance marketplaces and start making money online as a virtual assistant?
It’s a good engagement that can earn you a minimum of 100 dollar a day.
11. Monetize Your Blog with Ads
Do you have a blog with a decent amount of daily traffic? You should consider monetizing that traffic with advertisement, as this would go a long way to earn you a lot of money every month.
Make sure to choose advertising networks that pay well. A good example of an advertising network that you should join if you have a blog with a decent amount of traffic is Mediavine.
10. Become a Copywriter
Copywriters are in high demand for one simple reason:
They help big brands, small businesses, and startups write great copies that inspire, teach, and convert leads into paying customers. So if you’re good in writing copies that can give brands the value for their money, then you should consider getting a job as a copywriter.
The ProBlogger job board is a great place to start when it comes to hunting for this kind of work. You can also try to promote yourself on Upwork or on SEO Facebook Groups, like this one.
Keep in mind that some copywriting gigs can earn you more than $100 a day, so don’t limit yourself when such opportunities arise.
11. Get Paid to Proofread Content
Are your eyes keen and sharp enough to spot errors in a document? Or maybe you’re passionate about editing content and you love making sure that each article you write reads flawlessly?
Then you should consider becoming a proofreader.
Platforms like Proofreading Services and Gramlee have career openings for folks like you who simply can’t stand poorly written content.
I haven’t been in the editing business myself. But I have a few friends who make a kill from the business and they’re doing quite well financially.
12. Make $100 a Day Testing Websites
Are you so good with code that you can’t stand websites that look horrible? Or maybe you’re a web developer who’s keen to details and can easily point out bad design concepts in the blink of an eye?
You can definitely make money online by testing websites.
And this isn’t just about looking at a code snippet to see if the structure is up to the standard, or if the execution is on point. It’s also about testing the user experience to determine the value of a site to the end user.
Examples of platforms that pay you to test websites are Try My UI, Test, and Userlytics.
13. Become an Online Consultant
I don’t know so much about online consulting, but it looks like something you can engage in if you’re confident that your advice can help improve a service, an organization, or the quality of a product.
14. Teach English Online
People spend a lot of time learning English online every day. You can become part of the tribe that teaches individuals how to speak English fluently.
You can sign up as an instructor on Udemy or Coursea, upload your material, quote your selling price, and sell your content to English learners.
15. Sell Sponsored Posts on Your Blog
So you have a blog with a lot of traffic and you’re wondering how to use it to earn some extra cash? You should consider publishing sponsored posts.
Here’s the thing:
Individuals and brands always look for platforms to promote their products and services online. But they aren’t going to do that on websites that don’t have authority.
Instead, they’ll approach someone like you who has a blog that gets a lot of traffic and request to know if you do sponsored posts. This is an opportunity for you to make $100 a day – even if the income won’t be consistent.
16. Manage Social Media Accounts
Let me tell you something:
Some brands are too busy to manage their social media account. But they don’t preach that to the public because they’re busy serving existing customers.
You can reach out to these brands and ask them if they’re up to hiring the service of an experienced social media manager.
Of course, such a message is often unsolicited. But if you make your approach professional, authoritative, and actionable, you can land yourself an opportunity to earn $100 a day.
17. Sell Physical Products on Amazon
If affiliate marketing doesn’t interest you and you prefer to sell physical products instead, consider doing so on Amazon. The thing that sets Amazon apart from other companies is that they’ve already invested a lot of money into the business so you can invest less and earn more.
Make sure your product is useful so that people won’t have a difficult time buying it. Also, start small, observe the trend, and then use the data you get to make your judgment about the products you have in stock with Amazon.
18. Flip Websites
Folks on the internet are building and flipping websites right, left, and center. Not a day goes that I don’t see someone selling a site on my Facebook feed, which is to say that it’s a good business to consider.
However, the art of building and flipping websites isn’t something for everyone. You have to be really good with SEO and content creation to do this.
I’m sure that rings a bell.
And no, you don’t have to be an SEO guru, because they don’t even exist. You just need to know how to build starter sites on WordPress and sell them for $100.
19. Write and Promote an E-Book
Many writers I know love to freelance on Upwork and Fiverr. Only a few have gone as far as to write and promote their own e-Books.
And let me tell you something:
There’s good money to make in this.
If you choose this path to make money, you need to pay attention to the kind of content you put up. People aren’t going to buy into some generic content that they can find online for free.
Make sure your e-book stands out before you start to promote it on different online platforms. And if the content is useful and actionable, people will definitely buy from you.
20. Create an Online Business
When I started my online business, I never for once knew that I would get to a point where I earn more than $100 a day. Looking back, I can’t be more grateful for the work I put in.
To be frank:
Getting started isn’t going to be easy. If it were, everybody would be doing it and making huge profit.
However, if you take the risk and focus on investing in a line of online business, a time will come when you break even. Eventually all the hard work that you put in upfront will pay for itself.
Conclusion
I haven’t quite exhausted this list, but the options I’ve highlighted are good enough to get you started.
And hey:
Don’t wait until tomorrow to start making $100 a day. Start today, right now.
