5). Buy and sell domain names
A domain name is just a website address (eg.
'areagig.com' or 'mysite.co.uk') and there are lots of extensions (.com,
.net, .co.uk etc).
They cost as little as $0.99 to register with OgaBuy.com
yet premium domain names can fetch $1,000s if not millions when sold.
You can turn a quick profit with a bit of searching. The trick
is to find available domain names which have some commercial value, snap them
up and then list them for sale on a site like Flippa.com
6). Affiliate marketing

8). Drop-shipping
If finding a better solution to a problem hundreds or
thousands of people have doesn’t seem like an option right now, you might be
better off setting up a virtual shop and selling physical items.
These days, this couldn’t be easier. Sites like Shopify have
made it easier than ever to build a customizable, powerful eCommerce site in a
weekend and start selling products now.

This is probably one of the oldest and most time-tested ways
of making money online. Plenty of digital entrepreneurs have created
sustainable businesses by either:
Creating physical
products they know people in their niche will love
Purchasing low
cost goods manufactured in foreign countries, repackaging or combining them
with other products, and selling them for higher prices on domestic online
marketplaces
While you’ll certainly have higher levels of success if you
can nail creating and marketing your own unique product, from my own experience
(and that of many other entrepreneurs), I know the extremely high costs and
risk associated with starting a product-based business.
Instead, if you can find a solid product that’s already
being manufactured at a reasonable price from a marketplace like AliExpress, and market it to your audience, you’ll have the
start of a money-making eCommerce machine.
Now, let’s get into the nitty gritty of how your online
store is going to operate.
With drop shipping, you’re effectively partnering with a
manufacturer or wholesaler to sell their products. This way, you don’t pay
upfront costs to buy inventory, aren’t sitting on unsold items taking up
expensive warehouse space, and don’t have to deal with shipping the products
yourself. You simply create your site, fill it with drop shipable products,
and drive in customers, with almost everything else done for you.
Of course, there’s a higher price per product and your
margins are lower, but you’re able to start your online store with little more
than a Shopify theme and some hosted images of your products. When a customer
makes a purchase, you in turn buy the product from your supplier who then ships
it directly to your customer.
No inventory. No handling products yourself. No shipping by
hand. Sounds pretty amazing.
If you want to supplement selling on your Shopify store with
other marketplaces, here are a few other highly lucrative options:
Jumia and Konga: Rather than drop shipping, Jumia lets you store your products in their own warehouses, making them available for fast shipping to customers. Which has been proven to significantly increase sales.
Just be sure to put a lot of care into your product
listings. Everything from the titles you use, to how effective the description
is at convincing potential buyers your product is better than the rest, and
even taking care to shoot high quality product photos can have a dramatic
impact on your sales. I recommend using photo editing tools like Fotor, which
gives you the ability to edit your images, create captivating graphic designs
and more.
9). Become a Personal Shopper
Personal shoppers get paid to shop and run errands, serving
clients who are too busy or simply unable to shop for themselves. Purchases
might include groceries and other necessary items, but often they’re clothing
and accessories. It’s ideal for someone who loves to
shop online.
A personal shopper typically interviews clients to get a firm idea of their tastes and their dislikes.
With opportunities from e-commerce giants like Jumia and Konga. You can become a professional personal shopper easily without having to move about, all you need to get started and get on is simply your smart phone and internet access.
Even Kim Kardashian started her journey to success as a personal shopper. If in doubt, google it.

Whether you need any any of this idea or not, you can at least help someone who might do by sharing it with friends on your social media.
Have a blessed future.
