How I Moved from 1K to 10K $ in 18 Months working Online! (case study)

Hi Friends.

Today, I want to share with you my own experience in online business. And how I moved From 1k$ to 10k$ per month in less than two years (~ 18 Months).

First of all, I will share the top 5 strategies to work online and build a real online business.

Those strategies allow you to make excellent and stable revenue monthly. Here we are:

  1. Content creation
  2. Affiliate marketing
  3. Freelancing
  4. Saas services and apps.
  5. Online shop.

1. Content creation:

You can create anything like Blog Posts, YouTube Videos, online Courses, social media posts, e-books, podcasts, webinars, images, anything! and then earn money by selling the content, monetizing with Ads, or sponsoring other companies or even use as lead magnets or promotion for your paid services. (I will explain this in detail later)

Example 1: Creating a blog and writing about something that you know and love.

Question: How to make money online with a Blog?

Here comes the important question, how to make money from my blog?

Mainly, we have three methods to make money online from Blog writing content. The first one is:

1. Make money promoting your other premium services.

Simply, a Blog Article or post can be one of your primary sources to get new customers and get more sales by promoting your paid services related to the article a person is reading.

Example: if you open now this article “How to Land your emails in inbox (The Ultimate Guide)” you will notice that Iam promoting my premium courses within the article. In my case, the article is getting me more sales. So Simple!

Or simply look at the right widgets, you will see some ads to my other services and courses.

2. Make money by monetizing your blog with Ads.

The second method to make money with your blog is to publish Ads. This method is one of the most popular. It can be Ads managed by Ad Networks like Google Adsense or Media.net. Or Maybe Selling Ad Spaces Manually or using companies like BuysellAds.

If you are using Google Adsense or similar networks to monetize, you have to know that your blog content and topics are the main factors for increasing your revenue.

As an example, a blog about Food or Gaming will have much less revenue than blogs talking about digital marketing or insurance companies.

If you go now to H-supertools free keyword tool and search for this keyword: “learning cooking,” you will see the following results:

The CPC (cost per click is 1.35$)

While if you search for “Email Marketing companies“, you will see the following:

The CPC (cost per click is 18.55$) which is much more higher than the first keyword.

So, if you are writing articles about email marketing, the type of ads published will get you much more revenue than writing about food or gaming.

3. Make money promoting affiliate products.

I will talk about this in deep when I go over affiliate marketing. but in short, you can also earn money from your blog by linking to affiliate products and earn commissions on each referral.

Question: how do we get traffic?

Mainly, we get traffic using the following methods:

1. SEO: by ranking your website and your posts on the top of search engines. So you can get free and organic traffic.

2. YouTube, which is one of the best sources of traffic. You create videos about your content and link back to your website. (I will talk about youtube in the next example)

3. Forums, search for forums related to your content and help others by sharing what u know and link to your website (DON’T SPAM). Also, don’t forget, Reddit, which is a great place to get free traffic.

Now, In my case, I started my own Forum and this helped me get more traffic by letting people ask questions on my own forum.

4. Quora Q&A, this is one of the fastest methods to get traffic. It’s by answering questions on Quora and linking back to your site.

( I do get thousands of views on Quora every month from my answers. It works)

5. Social media, if u have some followers on Facebook, maybe Facebook groups, LinkedIn, Twitter, all these helps u to get traffic, (you can automate posting on all platforms using a social media management software, I do use Content Studio. you can get Lifetime access with this special offer here)

6. Free e-books and courses, you can create small free ebooks and publish on free ebooks sites like Free-Ebooks.net to get traffic or publish free courses on udemy, which has millions of students out there and link back to your site. (if you have followed any of my free courses on Udemy, then you may have noticed that)

Also, Iam working now on Two New e-books:

  1. Make Money Online Ultimate Guide.
  2. The Power of Emails.

If you would like to get these free e-books when they are published, you can join my newsletter here and join over 17000 subscribers receiving exclusive tips and tutorials almost once a week. CLICK HERE TO JOIN.

7. Slideshare, a website where you can share a small set of slides (presentation) and link back to your site.

8. Paid Ads. Also, you can run paid ads on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, Google, Quora, or any native ads platform to drive traffic to your website and grow your audience. I did a small case study like one year ago and showed how 20$ made me 500$ with one campaign, you can check it here:

9. Email Marketing, always make sure to build your email lists, which will be one of the top sources of traffic for your websites by sending newsletters to your Subscribers. Check how do I send my Newsletters and get up to 56% open rates step by step, in this video:

Example 3, creating online courses

If you love to share your knowledge and teach others what you know, you can create online courses on platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, or even your own academy using Teachable or Thinkific, which is a great opportunity today to make money online. (I do make 6K per month only from udemy), see this live in the following video:

So you can be an online instructor and teach what you love.

These are three examples of content creation that I think it’s the most popular today.

Now, what’s nice is that you can use content creation as a marketing tool for affiliate which is our second method in making money online.

2. Affiliate marketing:

It’s one of the most popular methods to make money online, why?

Simply because you will be promoting only! How?

You will promote products and services for other people so you are not required to create services or buy products. Just promote, share, refer, and earn commissions.

Example 1: Amazon affiliate program.

You can join this program and start promoting any product in amazon and you will get a commission on each sale referred by you.

Don’t forget that you can combine content creation with affiliate by sharing referrals and affiliate links on your YouTube channel, blog, ebooks, courses and this will help you drive more traffic and referrals to the products and obviously making more money.

Example 2: Recurring Commission.

Another perfect example of affiliate marketing is to join services that pay monthly recurring commissions on each customer you refer, a good example is Clickfunnels which will pay you a monthly commission for each customer or user signs up using your own referral link.

Think about it! It’s really a great option.
