Struggling to Earn Money Online? Try this
5 proven ways to earn your $1 from side hustles without a partner program
Hi friends
I am from India. and unfortunately, Medium partner program is not available here. I have been writing on this platform for 8 months now and Today in this article I’ll share what I’ve learned so far about earning online through medium. So, even if your country is not listed in MPP just like mine( I know it’s frustrating) you can start earning money.
So, without any further ado let’s dive in.
First things first…Why write on medium?
Medium is an excellent writing platform with over 100 million readers around the globe. It also has a good domain authority which means if your content is authentic and brings value to the readers your chances of ranking in google SERPS( search engine results pages) increases automatically.
so if you have put aside writing only because of the medium partner program then I think by the time you read this article you’ll change your mind.
Freelancing clients
I got my first client, in the 3rd month of writing on medium. as I already told medium is highly popular and trusted. many businesses are continuously in search of people to hire for various projects. you can’t really miss this opportunity.
start building a portfolio and write about various topics, and the topics you’re passionate about. share them on your social media accounts like LinkedIn or Twitter. Once your content starts getting attention you will start building a following and eventually land opportunities you might have never thought of.
Affiliate marketing
It’s when you promote a product to your audience. The idea is to provide your audience with a link to buy the product and every time someone buys it using the same link you get some part of the fee.
It’s a great way to earn money online. Always be honest and transparent with your audience whenever you ask them to buy anything. and remember to promote only those products that align with your values and personal brand. so you don't lose your reader's trust. hav their best interest at heart and you’ll go a long way.
Selling digital products
This is another amazing way to earn a passive income. you can create a course and sell it on skillshare or write an ebook and sell it on Gumroad. literally with zero investment. And all the tools you require are freely available online. so what’s holding you back? I know many writers earning millions of dollars from selling courses and ebooks.
1:1 Consultation
You can also start a one-on-one consultation service. start sharing what you’ve learned so far. how’s your experience? what worked for you. and what mistakes to avoid. set up a free zoom call. use Calendly to schedule the meetings. Initially, start for free, earn credibility through testimonials and reviews, and then start charging.
Build an email list
Medium is no doubt an awesome platform but just like any other social media account. It’s like a rented space, we don't have much control over it. collecting emails and building an email list should be your long-term goal.
you can collect emails by offering trial services and in turn, asking them for their email. email allows you to have a direct relationship with your potential customers. In the future, you can use it to sell them your product or services.
Conclusion
I know it’s sad that we can't earn directly from the partner program. I can’t change this situation but I do hope that after reading this you’ll be in a much better position to continue writing and not give up. By following the tips mentioned above you can actually surpass the earnings from MPP and earn much more than that.
