Google’s Secret Side Hustle: Earn $202.70/Day

Make $74,000 Per Year with Google’s Secret Area

Most people don’t realize it, but there is a hidden area of Google.com that allows you to make $22.70 per day, which equals about $74,000 per year. I first used this secret area of Google to make money 15 years ago, and people are still using it to this day.

Free Three-Month Access

The way it works is, first, you just go to the secret area of Google. On the blue bar on the top to get started 100% for free, but it’s really important – it’s free for the next three months to get started, but if you start after that, there’s actually a fee. So make sure you watch this entire video to the end to learn exactly how to do this.

Getting Started with Google Account

Now, the first thing that you’re going to need is a Google account or a Gmail account. So if you don’t have one of those yet, sign up for one – it’s 100% for free. Then log in to that Gmail or Google account. Then you just go straight to Google.com, and you’re going to look all the way at the bottom of the screen here where there’s a link that says “Business.” You’re going to click on that, then you’re going to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and “What Are Google Certifications?” Click on this little link that says “Grow with Google.”

Free Training Programs

So what is this little-known area of Google? This is an area of Google where they have all kinds of free training programs to train you on online money-making skills – everything from Cyber Security to E-commerce to Google Ads, even AI (Artificial Intelligence) and programming skills. Like I said before, I personally used this area of Google 15 years ago to get me started on my online business.

Success Story – Freelancer Jared

Check out these screenshots of money that people are making with this. This one freelancer named Jared charges $100 for just an introductory call, then he charges $1,000 for 8 hours of work, and he charges $4,450 for an entire week of work. He’s able to charge a premium for his Services because of the training that he got from Google.com.

Success Story – Freelancer Chris

He shows you how to install Google tracking on your website, which is something he learned from his Google training. He charges $190 for a 1-hour video and $350 for a 2-hour video. If you look at Upwork, you can see people charging $57 per hour for skills that they learned in this exact training area of Google.com.

Google Certification Benefits

Part of why these Google training programs help you to make money online quicker is because when you’re done, they give you an official certificate straight from Google themselves, which helps a lot with your credibility. There’s actually people that are looking to hire Freelancers specifically that have certificates from Google so that they know they’ve completed Google’s training.

Real Success Stories

Here’s a YouTube comment that says, “One of my colleagues have trained several IT certifications and was hired by one of the other companies. The project went from $90,000 a year to $130,000 per year from getting a certification.” Here’s another guy that obtained a Google Data and Analytics certification in February. It says here he got a job that pays $84,000 per year, and he still hasn’t even completed his Master’s Degree.

Why Google Created This Program

Now, the reason Google set up this area to train people is because they were actually trying to hire people that they needed who had certain skills, and they couldn’t find anyone out there in the job market to hire. So Google decided, “We’re going to set up our own training to train people in these certain skills so that we’ll actually have people to hire when we need them.”

Market Demand and Opportunities

Universities weren’t able to keep up with the needs of the market, and there started to be a massive imbalance of supply and demand. In other words, there were tons more job opportunities, freelancer opportunities, money-making opportunities in these certain areas, and there was hardly anyone with the skills to fulfill the demand. So how do you get access to one of these training programs and how do you get the Google official certification for it? Well, it’s pretty…

Google Career Certificates and AI Certification Access

How to Get Certified: Simple! You just go to this site right here that I showed you earlier – grow.google.com, and you click on “Career Certificates” right here at the top of the page. And again, like I said at the beginning of this article, if you enroll in any one of these courses, you actually get “Google AI Essentials” at no cost for the next 3 months. You get an official certification in AI just simply by enrolling in any of these other Google certificate online courses.

Enrollment Process and Coursera Partnership

Here is where you select the Google certificate program that you want to enroll in, and after choosing one of them, all you do is click “Get Started.” and you begin your 7-day free trial for whichever certificate program you enrolled in. Now, you’ll notice when you click on each one of them, it’s going to take you to a different website. Google has actually partnered with Coursera to actually host and manage delivering the training material to you, but it’s going to be 100% online. Like I said earlier, most of these have a free trial, so you can get started with it and see if you like the material and the topic on a free trial basis.

Career Opportunities and Income Potential

Now I will say the main goal of these certifications is to actually get you a job. A lot of these jobs you can actually do from home, and like I showed you earlier, some people choose to monetize their certification to do freelance work on sites like Upwork or Fiverr. But either way, the goal of these certifications is to get you a skill that you can either get clients to pay you for, or you can just get a regular job that pays very, very well.

Alternative Business Opportunity

Now I know some people watching this video actually want to start an online business – they don’t want to get a job. Maybe you’ve already had jobs for many years, and you don’t want to be working for an employer anymore. And so for those of you that actually want to start an online business where you own the business and you’re not working for somebody else, I have a free class in the link in the description of this video that’ll teach you how to do that. It actually uses a loophole in Google Maps that lets you set up an online business that will pay you on autopilot whether you’re working or not.

Free Business Class Offer

So this is an alternative for people who really don’t want to work a job – they don’t want to do freelance work for clients, they just want to have a business that they own generates them money. Enter your name and email address there, and we will email you that free class.

Program Duration and Time Commitment

Now back to Google certificates and these Google courses. You’re probably asking how long is it going to take me to complete one of these online courses and get my certification from Google. According to Google, if you were to study in their program for 10 hours per week, you can finish one of their programs in three to six months. So that would mean you’re doing it for a couple of hours.

Real Success Story

There’s a great article on Medium.com by a woman named Ilma that goes over her experience getting a specific certificate from Google and how long it took her to get the job. Now it took her about 4 months to land a job, and she doesn’t say how much she got paid in that job, but I know for a fact that in that specific role as a UX designer, the lowest salary is $74,000 per year, and she was probably making more than that right out of the gate. She also says in this article that she was a little bit picky and turned down some different jobs because she was very specific about the kind of job that she wanted.

Additional Resources and Articles

So you might actually be able to land a job after you get your Google certificate much sooner than the 4-month period that it took her. And if you go to this article right here and you click on her name, she actually has a lot of other articles that show her experience in how she exactly got the job, her experience with Google certificates, and how long it took her to do it. And I’d encourage you to read some of her articles if you really want to go this route of making money online with Google certificates.

Job Market Statistics and Opportunities

She also shares in the article that it took her about 3 months to finish her Google certificate, so that’s right about in line with the estimate that Google gives. And you can see right here Google’s advertising themselves that the different fields that they are offering their certificates in offer a median entry-level salary of $93,000, and there’s a demand of 1.8 million job postings in the specific certificate areas that they’re offering. That means there’s an average of 1.8 million jobs out there waiting for you if you complete these certificates.

Final Thoughts and Business Alternative

And like I said earlier, there’s a 7-Day free trial on most of these, so I would encourage you just to dive in and try it out if you really want to make this kind of thing a career for yourself. Now like I said earlier, you might not want a job, you might not want to work for an employer – maybe you’re sick of your job and you’re sick of working for other people. In that case, I really encourage.

Personal Success Stories

That free class will teach you how to set up your own business where you’re the boss, you control the money, you keep all the income coming in, you control your schedule, and you’re not going to have anybody there looking over your shoulder telling you what to do all the time. It’s a very simple concept that I teach in that free class. In fact, I taught my own kids to do it, and two of my kids have been making money on this specific business model I teach in the free class for many years.
