How To Make Money Online To Fund Your Next Book

Master the Art of Social Media Networks 

One of the most popular ways to make money online is through social media. Social media networks attract billions of users every day. They’re all looking for new, interesting content to read or watch, along with finding inspiring people and pages to follow. Developing a buzz around your own social media platform(s) by organically attracting a large number of active followers can open up money making opportunities.

It’s not as tricky as you might imagine to learn how to monetize your Facebook page. You can also accept sponsored content or become an ‘influencer’, and so much more. Businesses may offer you products or services so that you share your thoughts about them with your followers. This way, brands can utilise your platform for a fee (either modest or considerable depending on the size of your audience). Maintaining an interesting and informative presence is crucial to keep your followers engaged, so don’t doubt the importance of creativity and design flair online. 

Buy and Resell Clothing, Furniture and More

The internet hosts a vast range of different selling platforms, from tailor made websites to general online auctions featuring a variety of goods. Exploring a few of these platforms in order to research affordable or bargain prices may give you the chance to buy and resell products, perhaps investing in a few cheap and cheerful items to resell to a more motivated buyer for a higher price tag.

Initially, finding these bargains may involve trawling through sites as many people do this already. However, stumbling across an affordable yet valuable item could cover your costs for the entire month. Consider searching for things like vintage clothing (designer and denim is often most profitable), furniture to revamp, and even car parts (if you know what you’re looking for). The greater the demand and the smaller the pool of supply, the larger your expected profit margins will be.
