Remote Side Hustles For Monthly Income
In this article, I’m going to show you four websites that are guaranteed to pay you out every month, and these are four side hustles that you can do remotely whenever and wherever you want. Because here’s the reality – your job doesn’t truly care about you. If business gets tough, they’re probably not going to have a very hard time letting you go. So it’s time to stop depending on just one income stream and find a side hustle that you can do from anywhere on your own time.
Personal Experience With Profitable Websites
Now, three out of the four websites I’m going to talk about, I have personally used to make money myself, and two of them have made me far more than a full-time income. So let’s dive in and find the perfect fit for you. Now if you already have a YouTube channel or your own website, this is going to be a perfect fit for you, but even if you don’t have a YouTube channel or a website, it’s super easy to get started and implement this amazing website to gain you passive income. All you need to do is harness the power of Google.
Making Money With Google AdSense
So the first website that I know personally will pay you out is Google AdSense. The Google AdSense is a website that lets websites or even YouTubers earn money just by displaying Google’s ads on their website or in their article. Now if you’re just getting started and you don’t have a website or YouTube channel, I recommend you start with a YouTube channel because it’s so simple to get going on it. It doesn’t take very complicated equipment, and you don’t have to be good on camera or anything like that.
Starting From Scratch
I’m going to show you how in a second, but even if you just look at my own channel and you sort by the oldest videos, you’ll see that the first videos that I started making were not very good. Even my camera wasn’t even in focus, and I hardly knew what I was doing, but I have personally been paid with Google AdSense, and I know you can too. It’s a very reliable site.
Creating Your YouTube Channel
The first thing that you need to do is just to create a YouTube channel. It’s really simple to do – you just go to YouTube.com and up here in the upper right, click on “Create,” and it’ll let you start uploading videos right away. But you’re probably going to ask, “What do I make these videos about?” What I encourage people to do is to start with any topic that you’re passionate about or that you know a lot about. It could be something from a hobby that you have, or something you have a lot of experience in, or even something that you know about because of your day job.
Testing Your Topic
Let’s say you’re passionate about guitar playing, for example. That might be a great topic for a YouTube channel, but before you dive in and start making videos on a topic like that, you want to do a simple test to see if this would be a good topic for a channel. And the way you do that is you can just do a simple search on Google for “how to play guitar,” and then you find the YouTube videos with the most views.
Views Analysis
And what we’re looking for is just a simple test: Does the topic have videos that have gotten at least 100,000 views in the last year? This tells us that in the last year, there’s a demand for videos on this topic on YouTube. That means people will actually want to watch the videos you put out. But then we have to go a little bit deeper. Let’s say we’re going to make our YouTube channel be about how to play guitar.
Finding Outlier Videos
So in order to find these ideal topics that are likely to get a lot of views, we want to look for what I call an “outlier video.” And the way we find an outlier video, and what we’re looking for, is videos that have a lot of views in the last year but where the video creator hardly has any subscribers. Let me show you what I mean – if we go to this search here “how to play,” you can see we’ve got a bunch of videos coming up that have a lot of views. Then we’re going to click on filters, we’re going to click on “this year.” Now it’s only going to show us videos from the last year, and then we’re going to click on some of these channels to see how many subscribers do they have. You can see that they have a video that got 13 million views, but if we click in and look at the actual channel, you can see they only have 26,000 subscribers, so that means that this particular topic is what we call an outlier because even though the channel doesn’t have millions of subscribers.
Video Recreation Strategy
And then what you do is simply recreate the video using the very similar topic or almost the same topic. Now, simply just recreating the video though isn’t going to guarantee that it goes viral. You do need to figure out a way to improve it, and I like to ask myself three questions to see if this is a topic that I want to do.
Three Key Questions
First of all, can I make a very similar video but with much more detailed information in it? And secondly, can I attack this same video topic from a unique angle that makes it easier to understand? And then the third question is, can I improve this video in a way just to make it more entertaining? If you can answer “yes” to even one of those three questions, then you got yourself a video topic that’s very likely to go viral.
YouTube Monetization
Now again, remember what the end goal is of all this. We want to get a video that’s going to get a lot of views because then we can use Google AdSense to put ads on the video, and we get paid a small amount every time someone clicks on one of those ads or sees one of those ads.
Channel Growth Tips
Now if you want a lot more in-depth information on setting up a YouTube channel and doing really well with the YouTube channel, you can just do a search in my channel right here for “tiny channel” and you’ll see a video come up of how I made money with a very small YouTube channel. In there, I go through a lot more detail about how to set up a YouTube channel and how to succeed with it.
Survey Sites Experience
But let’s go on to the second website that you can depend on paying you out, and that’s a site called Prolific. Now, you’ve probably heard of websites like this that offer surveys to you, and when you fill out the survey, you get paid. Well frankly, a lot of these sites are just scams or they don’t even work or they don’t even pay you. In fact, my son about a year ago told me he was going to try doing this as a side hustle, and he was down there pounding away at his computer filling out surveys, and I don’t even think he got paid a single cent.
Prolific Overview
But the nice thing about Prolific is they have a history of paying faithfully, and you can actually get paid a decent amount by filling out surveys on their site. And what Prolific is, is a website where researchers that are doing research projects put surveys on the site to try to get data for their research. So for example, it might be someone doing a survey on the stress level of 35-year-old mothers with four kids, and they’ll put a survey out there for that specific demographic to fill out so they can get information for their research.
Registration Process
So the first step in making money with Prolific is just to go to Prolific.com, click right here “Get Paid to Participate,” and then click right here “Start Earning” and fill out the form that you come to right there. Now when you fill out this form, they are going to have to approve your application, and I’ve heard stories of people waiting for a very long time in the approval process.
Application Tips
But the way that you can avoid this is to make sure when you fill out this application that you give it all the information that it’s asking for. Don’t skip any questions and make sure to give as much information about each topic that they ask you. It’ll only take you a few minutes to fill it out, but make sure you don’t skip anything.
Researcher Matching
And the reason why is you want to make sure that you have enough information in your application that it’s easy for them to match you with a researcher. Remember, researchers are coming to Prolific to try to get data on all kinds of different studies that they’re trying to do, so the more information that Prolific has about you, the more likely they’re going to be able to match you up with a researcher.
Approval Wait Times
Now I will say there are a couple groups are going to have a longer wait time in the approval. One of the groups is if you’re a student and if you’re like 18 to 25 years old, Prolific has a lot of people in that age group applying for their program, so there’s a long wait list for that group. And particularly males in that group tend to apply to Prolific a lot more than females, so if you’re a male in that group, you might have a long wait time before you get approved, but if you’re older than that, your wait time can be a lot shorter.
Personal Information
Now I will say even if it’s asking you personal information that you might feel a little uncomfortable, make sure and put all that personal information in any health conditions.
Prolific Earnings and Success Stories
That you might have, or any hobbies that you might have, or anything that could help you to get matched with a researcher. Now typically, you can expect to be paid between $8 and $12 per task, but sometimes you might get paid even more than that. Here’s someone who started Prolific four years ago, and you can see they’ve earned a total of $1,434.53. Here’s someone that’s taken nearly 7,000 studies in almost 6 years on Prolific. Here’s someone that just cashed out $100. Here’s someone that says they cashed out over $600 last night.
Quick Survey Acceptance Strategy
Now one last tip that I want to tell you about Prolific is: any survey that comes into your account, accept it right away without even reading the detail. Now you might say that sounds crazy! Why would I do that? The reason is, it’s kind of a competitive site, so once a survey starts going out to people, if you don’t accept it right away, they might send that survey to the next person in line.
Survey Acceptance Best Practices
So the best policy is accept a survey as quickly as possible and then read the details and see if that’s something you actually want to do. If you decide you don’t want to do it, you can always return that survey back into the system, and then they’ll send it to the next person in line. But if you wait and spend a lot of time reading the details before you accept the assignment, it’s likely someone else will grab it before you have a chance to grab it.
Prolific Payment System
So just grab it right away, then if you don’t want to do it when you change your mind, just return the survey back into the system. I don’t know of any issue with doing that specific technique. Anyway, you get the idea, usually Prolific pays out within a few days of requesting payment from their site, and typically you can expect to earn between $8 and $12 per task, but some surveys offer a lot more.
ClickBank Introduction
But let’s go to number three, ‘cuz if filling out survey sounds kind of boring to you, I’ve got another site for you that I’ve personally gotten paid multiple thousands of dollars from, and that is a site called ClickBank.com. Now ClickBank is a website that connects digital product creators, so people whose products are digital videos or digital downloadable books, and it connects them with people that will promote their products online – that’s going to be you.
ClickBank Setup Process
There’s digital services being promoted through ClickBank, online courses, all kinds of digital products in there. I love ClickBank because it has products for sale in almost any category that you’d be interested in, and I’ve been using this site to make money for many, many years. It’s very simple to set up, all you do is go to ClickBank.com and click on this green button right here that says “Start Here” and just fill out this survey.
ClickBank Product Categories
I’m not going to go through the whole thing here on article, but after you sign up, it’ll let you see all the different categories of products that they have. You can see they have all kinds of categories from architecture to art to photography to health and beauty – virtually anything that you’re interested in. ClickBank has a category of products that you could promote and make money from without even having to create any product at all. All you do is promote someone else’s product, and you get paid every time the sale comes through.
YouTube Channel Integration
This is a great way to make money off of YouTube. In fact, you’ll make more money through ClickBank plus a YouTube channel then you will just with Google AdSense and a YouTube channel. All you need to do is go into ClickBank, find a product related to teaching people how to play the guitar, and ClickBank
ClickBank Earnings Potential
Let me just give you an example of what you can make through selling different products through ClickBank. This is their product catalog, and you can see right here here’s a health product where you can get paid $145 every time someone buys it. Here’s one $121, $131, so you can see you can make quite a bit of money just by getting people to click on your unique link.
Coaching Program Introduction
Now maybe you’re thinking to yourself, “Chad, this sounds really great, but this is really kind of overview information. Wish I could get a lot more in-depth training about how to make money online.” Having a guide or a coach can help you tremendously to teach you the ropes and help you to avoid a lot of beginner mistakes where you feel really lost. That’s why this next website that I’m going to show you is a method that I myself have discovered and develop, and I teach an entire course and I have a coaching program on making thousands of dollars with the website that I’m about to show you. Now a lot of people don’t know this, but there’s a special link inside Google.
Hidden Money Link Introduction
That I like to call the “Hidden Money Link,” and I’m going to show you what that hidden money link is in just a second. First, let me give you an example of how this works. You’ve probably heard of Airbnb, right? It’s a vacation rental mega-business. In fact, it’s the largest vacation rental real estate site in the world.
Airbnb Business Model
But consider this: Airbnb doesn’t own a single piece of real estate that they rent out to vacationers. All it is, is a website where they connect people looking for a place to rent with people who are looking to rent out their place. All Airbnb does to make their money is be the go-between people offering their place for rent and people looking for a place to rent.
Uber and Amazon Success
Think about Uber. Uber changed the world! Uber is one of the biggest taxi companies in the world, and yet they don’t own a single vehicle. Again, they make money just by being the middleman. Amazon does this too – they make a ton of money from people like you and me selling products out of their own homes, and all they are is a middleman between the buyer and the seller.
Google Business Link
Now you’re going to do the exact same thing using Google, and first you have to go to that secret money link that I talked about earlier, and that secret money link is “Business.Google.com/Create.” What this special money link does, it lets you set up a special page on Google that connects business owners who are offering a service with people looking for that service.
Demolition Example
So let’s say you had a property owner that’s looking for a demolition company to knock down their garage. What this secret money link on Google allows you to do is to connect the people looking for a demolition company to hire to knock down their garage with the actual demolition company that’ll come over and complete that service. The demolition company does all the work, and you’re going to make money just by connecting the two people through this special page that you’re going to create in Google.
Roofing Setup
So let’s just say you wanted to connect roofers – you want to connect people looking for a roof replacement on their house with actual roofers who are going to complete the job, and you’re going to get paid to be in the middle of those two. So what you do is you go to this special money page here, and we’re going to create a little page on Google for roofing, and we’re going to call it “Bob’s Roofing.”
Business Registration Steps
Then we’re going to click “Add Your Business to Google,” just going to put in “Bob’s Roofing” there, business category “Roofing Contractor,” and I’m going to click next. We’re going to put in the areas that we serve, and you just go through the whole survey. I’m not going to go through this entire process here on camera because it takes a little bit of time, but it’s really simple to do – you just fill out every question that they ask you.
Google Maps Visibility
And in the end, when someone types in “roofer,” you’re going to show up in Google right here as one of the options that people can call. You actually show up as one of these little map pins in the map in your area, and all you need to do when someone starts to call this number looking for roofing work is connect them with an actual roofer who will complete the job.
Commission Structure
You can either charge the roofer a commission, so let’s say 10% of any job that they do. So if they do a job that’s $1,000, you get paid $100, or you can just charge them for every call that you send them like $35 to $50 per call. I’ve done it both ways over the course of my career, and even my kids have set up businesses using this exact business model.
Free Training Class
But it probably raises a lot of questions for you, like “What about the phone numbers?” and “Do I need to set up a website?” and “How do I make sure I get paid?” and all kinds of questions like that.
Email Registration
So make sure you put in your best email because you actually have to receive the class through the email, and the nice thing is this whole business model runs on autopilot once you get it all set up because you’re just receiving calls.
Automated System
And the way I teach you how to do it is you set up a system that just automatically routes the calls straight through to a business owner. You never even have to pick up the phone, and yet you get paid for every call that’s being pumped through to those business owners. You can set them up all over the United States if you want. In fact, I have students that have set up hundreds of these things all over the USA, and like I said, it’s simple enough that even my own kids could do it when they were just young teenagers.
