– Hey everybody. So, to kick off the new year, I thought that recently I've been doing quite a few serious heavy
video topics lately. So I thought, today, I'm gonna
do something that is fun, motivational, while being
educational at the same time. I decided to set myself a challenge for something that I know a lot
of you have wanted me to do. Could I find 10 websites online where you can make money for free? That's right. I want to find 10 entirely free websites where you can make money without having to spend
any money to make it. No hidden subscription services, no hidden fees, nothing like that.
Perhaps this might become a
series if you guys like it. But you know what, the
challenge doesn't end there. I decided to up the ante. Could I find 10 websites where people are making money online for free without needing a credit card? And you know what, I think I've delivered. Now disclaimer, these 10 website, they are not going to make
you a millionaire overnight. But as you'll see, through taking action, people have built up money
streams on these websites, including passive income, that now earns them a full-time income which I think is pretty cool. So I'm hoping that this video
is going to motivate you and smash some of those mental roadblocks that you may have been having, where you think things like, oh, you need money to make money, or you need to live in America, or you need a credit card. Because you know what, those
myths, the are not true. What you actually need is to take action. So, let's kick things off with a bang, because this first website,
it can be used world wide.
Yep, this website is making
people money worldwide. But to do so, you're going to
need to know the secret hack which I will show you. Now, when you see this first website, I don't want you to click away, because I bet some of you are gonna go, "Sarah, look, I'm not talented enough "to make money using that website." But you know, I bet that doesn't true. So, website number one, redbubble.com. So what is Redbubble and
how does it make money? Well, it is a website that
allows you to make money by creating and selling
custom products online. So it lets you create
things like T-shirts, phone cases, that sort of thing. But how do you make them? Well, it's simple. Once you create an account,
which is absolutely free, and you only need to enter
your name and email address. You can start uploading
artwork and designs to products literally in less than a minute. No credit card required. You can choose which products
you want to list and sell with your art work online, and you can customize your products, choose what color they
would come in, what style, and then your own custom
product description and title.
Then when a customer
purchases one of them, such as this T-shirt,
Redbubble's production warehouse will print your design onto a T-shirt, package that T-shirt up, and then ship it out to the customer automatically, without
you having to do anything. In this industry, we have
a name for the service. It's called print-on-demand. And as you can see, once you've created and uploaded your designs
onto the products, it's an extremely
passive source of income. With Redbubble, they pay you a commission on each product sold with the standard
commission rate being 20%.
Because they pay you out as a commission, you never have to pay any fees, and so selling is free. Now I can imagine for
some of you out there, there are two big objects that you might be having right now. Object one. Okay, Sarah, but is it actually free? Sure, I can create a T-shirt to sell, but what about traffic? Don't I have to pay to
advertise my T-shirt? The answer is nope. You know how people come to eBay and they search for products
that they want to buy here. eBay has invested lots
of money into advertising to say the least. And so now it's so well-known that it's what you would
call a destination website.
People come here and
buy products each day, and so most eBay sellers make their money just by people searching their products. Well, Redbubble is the same. It's a destination website. People come here looking for
products that they want to buy. And so most Redbubble sellers make money through free traffic that
they get to their listing via the search bar. Now onto objection number two. Okay, Sarah, that's great, you know, but what if I'm not a
graphic artist, you know? Look, that's a coll picture
on that phone case there, but I can't draw that.
And you know what, neither could I. I couldn't draw these sweaters and I couldn't draw that cool T-shirt, but here's the thing. To make money on Redbubble, you don't need to be an artist, and I'll prove it to you right now. So we're gonna head on
over to one of Redbubble's most popular products, T-shirts, and we're gonna look for funny T-shirts by typing funny into the search bar. And I think a lot of people
are going to be very surprised, because check this out. These are some of the top-selling designs right now on Redbubble for funny T-shirts, and a bunch of them are
incredible text-based designs. Now, let me ask you a question. Does this T-shirt here
look difficult to make? Because I'll tell you
now, it's incredibly easy. I have very little graphic design skills. I normally have to hire
people to make designs for me, but even I was able to
replicate this design and make one that looks extremely similar using the free app Canva with open source
commercial licensed fonts. And it took me less than five minutes, because it's literally just text.
Anyone could've made this T-shirt, uploaded it and sold it, and that's the secret. If you have no graphic design skills and you wanna make money, focus on selling humorous T-shirts, because often times
simple text-based designs add to the humor and make it funnier that if it had had a
more complicated design. All right, so you sold
your funny T-shirts. That's awesome, but how do I get paid, Sarah? Well, Redbubble have two payment options. First of all, they can
pay out directly to PayPal or they can payout directly to a bank.
Now, unfortunately, bank deposits are only available in limited countries, however, there is a workaround, and that is Payoneer. With Payoneer, you can set
up your USA bank account to receive money in all online for free. Now most people don't
think that you can set up a Redbubble account to Payoneer because Redbubble requires
your bank's physical address which Payoneer doesn't tell
you in your account info, but they will send it to you if you contact an ask their support. By doing this, people have connected their Payoneer bank accounts to Redbubble, and they have accepted payment into it. Now I can imagine you're all thinking, "Sarah, this all sounds good and all, "but does this simple T-shirt actually "well, you know, make money on Redbubble?" The answer is it sure does. You see how this T-shirt is sitting here in the search results. Well, Redbubble is similar
to Etsy's search engine. If I type in funny T-shirts
into Etsy's search engine, I'll get lots of results too. In fact, there are thousands
of funny T-shirts on Etsy, literally.
So how do they choose which T-shirts they're gonna list on the first page? The number one way that the
search engine decides that is with sales. If a T-shirt is selling, it would sit higher in the search results. We know then that all of these
T-shirts on the first page must've sold recently. The same is with Redbubble, we know that all of the T-shirts that are here on the first
page have sold recently. So, yes, simple text-based
designs, when funny, can sell great. "But Sarah," you say, "how
can I get those initial sales "so that my T-shirts
will start ranking for "bigger words like funny when
I'm just getting started?" Well, there is a secret hack
which I am going to show you.
Rather than go for a
broader humorous T-shirt, if you're stuck for ideas, create a niche-specific design and look for niches and groups of people that have been ignored. So, for example, this T-shirt here is pretty specific, right? It's about engineers. This is a good idea, because engineers are
passionate about their jobs and they love wearing
career-specific merch. There's just one problem with this niche if we do a search in Redbubble
for funny engineer T-shirts, you know what, we'll see that there are lots of T-shirts already that we would have to
compete with the sales. And so, that's what you should do. Come and see if you can
find groups of people who don't already have any
T-shirts made for them.
So, if we check out
another passionate career, science teachers, we'll see that, yep, they have lots of T-shirts made for them with jokes about being
specifically a science teacher. But what about another type of teacher? What about a drama teacher. If we come and do a search for that, we'll find something interesting. While there are T-shirts aimed at people interested in drama and theater and general teacher T-shirts. There are very, very aimed
specifically at drama teachers. This niche is completely wide open for someone to create a great
funny T-shirt aimed at them and to take all the sales and traffic as a gift for drama teachers.
Because again, if you
come to the search bar, and this time typing
gifts for drama teachers, you'll see, again, we'll get gifts aimed at theater lovers and gifts aimed at teachers in general, but very, very few aimed at drama teachers as this group has just been
completely ignored on Redbubble. It's wide open for you
or anyone to come in and make great products for.
And by the way, if you
have learned something new and you would like to learn even more about making money online, then be sure to hit that Subscribe button and click that little
notification bell next to it, so that you don't miss
out on any of our videos. All right, onto the next website, and I think that a lot of people are probably going to recognize it, because it's featured on YouTube a lot, but you probably never realized that it could be making you money, and that it's actually making some people over $100,000 a year,
largely in passive income.
Now, there are two ways to
make money with this website. The first is the slow way, and that is the more obvious way to make money with it. However, after that, I'm then gonna tell you about the little known way to make
much faster money with it, and to make way, way more money than you would with the first method. And don't worry, when a lot
of people see this website, they're gonna go, "Look,
Sarah, I'm not skilled enough. "I'm not qualified enough. "I can't do it." However, if you keep
listening, as you'll see, you don't need to be special
or have any skills at all. So we are here on Skillshare. This website sponsors a lot of YouTubers, and no, they are not
sponsoring this video. Anyway, normally, people come here and pay them $10 a month to get access to all their video classes. So, for example, if I wanted
to learn how to make a latte, I could just type that into
the search box and boom, I'd get given a bunch of free
video classes I could watch, such as this one.
And here's what most people don't know. This class, it was just
made by some random guy, because anyone is allowed
to make a Skillshare class and start making money with it. Me, you, anyone. And on average, new teachers make between $200 to $3,000 in their first month, which is pretty cool, but that's not the best part. The best part is once
you put your classes up, all that money that you're
earning, it is passive. And remember, that is how much they earn in their first month
with their first course. Imagine what happens when
they then go and create another one and then create another one. It all adds up.
And once your class is live, you don't have to do anything that is how people have been able to make over $100,000 a year with Skillshare. So the way that you get paid on Skillshare is for each minute somebody
watches your videos, you get paid. So if I wanted to learn how
to make French press coffee, I'd watch this five-minute video and then he'd be paid for
each of those five minutes. Now, you might have noticed that this says that he's only had a thousand students.
Well, all that means is a thousand people have watched a big chunk
of his whole course, but the vast, vast majority of people will only watch the specific
videos that they want. So, for example, most people
will come in here and say, "You know what, I just want to know "how to make cold brew coffee." Because they only watched this one video, they won't be noted as a student, but he'll still get paid for all of those views just the same. And as you can see, this
video is super simple. It was probably filmed on a
cellphone and bad lighting. And based on the audio quality, he probably just used a
cell phone microphone. And here is another video course.
It's literally just someone talking while they recorded their screen. There is no fancy editing required here. And if you wanted to make even
more money from your classes, you could put them up on
our third website, Udemy. Udemy is another website that also lets you sell your courses. Unlike Skillshare, which
is a subscription service, here, people buy your
courses individually. Because of that, earnings on
Udemy do tend to be higher. Teachinguide.com estimates that about 40% of classes have made over $5,000. I actually got a friend that makes about $25,000 a year with one
course which is neat. However, you guys might be thinking, "Well, Sarah, that's great and all, "there's just two problems.
"One, I don't have any skills. "I've got nothing to teach. "How could I make a
class and then sell it? "And Sarah, I've got another
problem with all of this. "That's great, you know, "but you know what, I want
even more money than that." Well, never fear, because
I've got you covered. So, here's what you do. Check this out. If we come in and type in Photoshop, as we can see, lots of people
want Photoshop tutorials. And guess what, you could
make these for free. Most of these tutorial videos are just a mixture of
talking over slideshows and talking over screen captures of people doing the editing
inside of Photoshop.
And even if you're like me and you have a, quote
unquote, funny accent and people don't like the
way that you pronounce words, never fear because lots of
these Photoshop tutorials also feature people with foreign accents. But anyway, regardless,
let's come on over to YouTube and type in Photoshop tutorials. You will get a bunch of tutorial videos. And you know what you can do, you can take the popular
topics and videos, recreate them yourself, and then go and list those
videos on Skillshare and Udemy. You don't need to be a Photoshop guru. "But wait, Sarah," you say, "don't I need to pay $10 "to buy a monthly Photoshop description?" Nope, Photoshop has a
free seven-day trial.
Download it and hustle
hard for those seven days and record lots and
lots of tutorial videos. "But wait, Sarah," you say, "don't I need money to buy
screen capture software "to make these videos?" Nope, check this out. There is a free open source
screen capture software, and there is free video editing software for you to use. "But wait, Sarah," you say, "don't I need to buy a
mic to do the voice over?" Well, not if you have a
phone that record audio. And it gets even better, because Adobe has an affiliate program that you can use to make even more money. So if you don't know what
an affiliate program is, let me show you.
I'm here on my website, Wholesale Ted. Now if we click on this link, we'll get taken to my
favorite e-commerce platform, Shopify. And if we come and check out the URL, we'll see it has a tracking code attached. This means that shopify tracks
everyone that clicks on it. And if they buy a subscription,
I'll get a commission. And check this out. Each year, I make well
over $100,000 a year with Shopify commissions
with my affiliate links. So yes, I very much believe that this is a superior way to
make money on Skillshare.
It's allowed. But you know what, not a lot of people are doing it on Skillshare. So, once you've made your
Skillshare and Udemy courses, sign up for the Adobe affiliate program and get your tracking link, then put your link in the description of your Photoshop tutorials, and tell people that they can click on it to get a free trial for Photoshop. And each time someone buy's Photoshop or one of their Adobe products, you will get 85% commission on their first month subscription. So if you wanna make even more
money from these platforms, create video lessons on products that have affiliate programs and free trials for you
to take advantage of. And here is a tip. Skillshare actually has
two different accounts you can sign up for. You can sign up for the
$10 a month account, which you can easily get a
free two-month trial for, but you don't need that
to create a course. To create a course on
there and become teacher. All you need is their free plan.
And of course, once you have gone ahead and recreate tutorial videos
that you found on YouTube, what's stopping you from posting
them onto YouTube itself. So, this of course is my
fourth website on the list. So here is one of my tutorial videos. This teaches people how
to set up a Shopify store using my favorite e-commerce
app and platform, Shopify.
It's been up for 10, 11 months now, and it's made me a fair chunk of change in AdSense revenue, $9,000 for one video. Not bad. But the real money of course comes from affiliate commissions. I put my Shopify link in
the video description, people click on it and buy Shopify. So while this video has
made about $9,000 in USD for ad revenue alone, it's made tens of thousands of dollars in addition to that in
affiliate commissions. And the thing is, is you're probably like, "Well, Sarah, look, you
are in a little box there, "And I don't want to have to be "on camera for my tutorials.
"You told me I didn't have to be on camera "to make money from tutorial videos." You know what, it is true. Take a look at this
tutorial teaching people how to set up a store in Shopify. It's even more popular than mine. There is no one on camera at all. It's just someone filming the screen while they click buttons and talk over it. So there is no camera required. And so, if you aren't skilled with filming and editing videos, tutorials are a great way to get started making money on YouTube. Of course, if you do
have actual video skills, then you might wanna
consider this next website, Shutterstock.
Of course on here you can
sell photos and videos that you take a stock footage. And do people buy this? Absolutely. I myself spend lots of
money on stock videos. In fact, I've used stock videos and this video multiple times, and some of the clips I've bought have been incredibly basic. For example, I bought this clip here which anyone could've filmed just by sticking a 4K-ready
smartphone on a tripod.
That's it. No fancy filming. It's literally just a still shot of people walking past
the Forever 21 store that was shutting down
due to their bankruptcy. I know people that make
thousands of dollars passively each month off their portfolios. The way that they make it
though isn't by selling photos. It is by selling videos that are in 4k. These have the highest
royalty commissions. So if Shutterstock sounds like something that you like to make money from, I highly recommend focusing on 4k video. Now the next video is something that my regular subscribers
will probably recognize, and I think that you guys are
gonna be pretty interested in some of the case studies
that I'm going to show you. And this is it, Merch by Amazon. Say, a lot of people don't know this, but Amazon has its own
print-on-demand service too that works just like Redbubble.
You need to submit an application and I do recommend Googling best practices for
submitting an application. But if you're accepted, you get access to the
print-on-demand service. All you need to do is upload
a piece of artwork or design, and Amazon will create
these products for you, and you can create an
Amazon product listing that people can find just by using their search engine. You can set your own price, add in your own title, description, and fully edit your listing. Now, some people use Merch by Amazon as a source of side income. Some people use it to
earn a full-time income. This T-shirt here, it was made with Amazon's
Merch by Amazon program.
And according to the
Amazon sales research tool, Jungle Scout, in the past month, it sold roughly 640 shirts. Now, based on the product price, that's roughly $4.50 commission a shirt. So it made this creator roughly $2,800 in profit this month alone. And for many people,
that's a full-time income. And check this out, the
simple text-based T-shirt, piggy backing off of the new meme and phrase that came out of that incident, this T-shirt has been
regularly selling well since it launched and,
according to Jungle Scout, has sold roughly 450
shirts this month alone.
And since this T-shirt is priced lower, it has a smaller commission
per shirt of $3.70. So this T-shirt made
about $1,600 in profit, which is nice side income. And this T-shirt is sold the most, according to the Jungle
Scout research app, roughly 1,080 shirts. And at this price, it made its
creator roughly $3 a shirt, which means over $3,200 in profit. And as you can see, this
T-shirt has been up since 2017, making its creator money
passively for free. Just like with Redbubble, Amazon, it is obviously a destination website. So, they take care of
the marketing for you, and bring in the customers. And just like with Redbubble,
its commission-based so if I were to sell
this T-shirt for $17.99, Amazon will remove their fees to sell and produce this T-shirt and pay out $3.72 as a commission. So you don't need to pay for the cost of producing
a T-shirt to sell it. Amazon takes it out of the product price. And so how do you get your commissions? Well, Amazon pays them
out into a bank account, and that includes a Payoneer account. All right, so my next website.
It's a bit of cliche but,
trust me, don't click away, because I'm gonna tell you the secret as to how you can actually
make money on on it. All right, so I'm here on Fiverr. Now if you don't know what Fiverr is, it's a place where freelancers can offer their services in the form of one-off
gigs that people can buy. It's free to create and list
a gig selling their services. So, if you're a freelancer, this is a great site to make money. And seriously, I spend
so much money on here, I have spent thousands buying
people's gigs last year, so I know a lot of money
can be made on here, because I pay people thousands
of dollars each year.
Now usually, people hate Fiverr as a suggestion to make money because (scoffs) it's too competitive, but that's because everyone
is trying to make gigs like everyone else is doing such as offering a blog
post writing service. Lots of people have this. And so to make sales, you need to have lots of reviews to standout. Or if they're artistic,
they're trying to make gigs around super popular services, like designing T-shirts
for print-on-demand stores. Again, you need lots
of reviews to standout. But you know what, that's
not how you make money as a broke freelancer on Fiverr. Nope, check this out. Sneakers are a popular
print-on-demand product, because they can self for high prices. So I wondered, are there any gigs that advertise print-on-demand sneakers. And, well, it turned
out that there was only one listing I could find
on Fiverr, and that was it. There might have been more than this, but they have been very poorly optimized for the search keywords. And so, this listing,
despite being quite new is getting lots of orders. This is a service that lots
of people want and need, and there is only one person offering it, and there are lots of services
out there just like this, with lots of room for you
to come in and take over.
The key here is to do the research and don't just try to
sell what every else is. And if you are a freelancer
writer based in the USA and you just wanna make money writing and don't want to have
to hustle for clients, be sure to check out
this site, Textbroker. The way this works is that
you sign up for the website, you take a writing sample test. Based on that, you're assigned a level. Most people I know who got As and Bs in English class at school get a four-star ranking immediately, earning you 1.4 cents a word. Once assigned, you can then log in to the orders portal, choose an order, and write the article for it. Now, I don't know about you, but I can easily write a
1,000 word article in an hour, which would be $14 an hour
with a four-star ranking.
But if you work on your writing craft and hit that five-star ranking, now you make $50 an hour. But yes, unfortunately, I'm fairly certain that it's
only available for Americans. However, the next website,
it is available worldwide. Anyone from anywhere
can make money with it. Check this out. $28,600 US dollars in
the past five months. This was how much money was
made from my next website, Instagram. There are a lot of opportunities for people to earn money
online with Instagram. So this $28,600 was made from free organic Instagram traffic from one page with less
than 50,000 followers and a specific niche by a friend of mine.
And they built that page just by posting great niche-specific content. They didn't pay for any adds. And so, the way they monetized it was they created an ebook for free using this free ebook creator app. And then next, they created a free two-week trial on ClickFunnels, and they made a mini website
that sold their ebook. And you know, you can
actually sell products with ClickFunnels and pay nothing over their two-week trial period, which I found pretty insane that they don't make you upgrade early if you actually try to sell things. And so, after that, they
then announce their ebook to the Instagram page. And within their first week, they had sold over $7,000. And of course, over the pat five months, they made over $28,600 in total. And they were selling their
book for less than $20. But people, I am sorry, I have
to admit something to you. I lied to you today. This method wasn't free, because they also bought an $8.88 Namecheap.com domain name and connected it to their funnel instead of using
ClickFunnels free sub domain. Sarah, how could you? You promised us only free methods, and $8.88 is not free.
That's $8.88. Look, I'm sorry, you're right. So let me make it up to you by showing you to completely free methods that you can use to make
money with Instagram. Here is one way. This Instagram meme page for cats. When you click on the link on the bio, it links you to their
print-on-demand store where they are selling their own T-shirts. And remember what anyone can do. Anyone can create their own
free print-on-demand store using Redbubble, and start selling T-shirts with free Instagram traffic right now, and here's another way. Do you see this Instagram page? Somebody has built it for free just by reposting cute
photos and videos of dogs. Well, if we check out their latest post, we'll see that there's actually
a video ad for a product that creates a custom
necklace of your dog.
And if we check out their bio, we'll see a link to their product. This was a paid advertisement bought by this online store Wear Felicity. And they likely purchased this Instagram shout out ad on a site similar to the next
one on my list, Shoutcart. This is a website that
lets Instagram accounts sell shout outs. You buy it for a limited
amount of hours usually, and after that, it gets deleted. This allows pages to advertise without clogging up their feed with ads. Shout outs are an easy low-effort way to make money on Instagram.
But of course, you could take
that money you earn from them and reinvest that back
into an $8.88 domain name and make even more money. So, did I deliver on my challenge? Let me know on the comment section. And if you have any other
websites to add to this list, be sure to put them in
the comment section, so that you could help
clear that mental roadblock that a lot of people have, that makes them think that
they need money to make money.
And of course, if you would
like even more free training on creating a print-on-demand store, then be sure to download my free ebook, "The 6 Steps That 6-Figure
Online Stores Follow "To Make Over $10,000 a Month." And you'll find the link
to download that ebook in the video description below..
