 13 super easy ways non-techy people can make money online from their couch. This is part one of two. Hey everybody, JR Fisher here and wow, have we been on a ride the past couple years or what? You know, it's the whole society has told us that we need to stay indoors. We need to not go out and a lot of us made money indoors. We did real good. So with this video, what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you all 13 ways. Now this is split into two videos. So you want to watch part one and then go watch part two. There will be a link down in the description, so you can go back and watch part two after you watch part one. By the end of this, you're going to figure out how you can make money from your couch.

And that means turn on all notifications so that you are notified every time I go live or I upload a new video. Now all that being said, there's obviously some businesses online that are easier to run from your laptop and your couch than others. So I'd like to break all that down, kind of look at the positives and negatives of each one and see which one's best for you. Okay, so let's look at a few components of this. First off, business type. Some business types lend themselves to better online sales than offline sales. It could be a product. It could be a service. So you want to kind of categorize and figure out what type of business type you have. Next thing is effort. How much effort is it going to take for you to do something? Now I do online courses and I sell online courses. And I'll tell you to put together an online course. It is a lot of effort. I mean, a lot of effort. It can take me months or sometimes years to put together a course. However, once I put together that course and I put it out there in the market, I can sell it to millions of people for years to come. So how much effort do you want to put in up front? Do you want to get some immediate results? Do you want to build a thriving business? What do you want to do and how much effort? And how much time do you have? I didn't have a lot of time in the beginning, so I didn't start with that. I started with physical products. Next thing you want to look at is leverage. How much can you leverage your product? Now I just talked about online courses and I can leverage that a lot. I can put a lot of effort into making a course, but now I can sell it to millions of people and not have to do anything more because all they have to do is log in. We send them a login link. It's all automated. I don't have to do anything, so I can be selling courses all day long. If it's a service, let's say you're helping people one-on-one, then you're going to be limited. You're not going to have a lot of leverage there because it's going to take up your time to do that particular service. And of course, you've got to look at the startup cost. How much is it going to cost you? If you were going to sell products and you were going to carry your own inventory, which I don't recommend in the beginning, but if you were going to do that, you would have to invest in storage area. You'd have to invest in inventory. It's going to cost you a lot of money, but if you decided you just want to start out and market other people's products, you could be an affiliate marketer and just sell affiliate products and have no investment, not have to build any sales pages, not have to do anything. However, it is harder to scale something like that because it's not your product and you don't have control over the product. And of course, the important factor is what is the profit potential? How much can you make? We have products that we sell for $2.99. We don't make a lot of profit on there, but our profit margins are pretty good. And we have products that we sell for thousands of dollars. So what is going to be your profit potential? How much do you want to make? That's another thing you got to ask yourself. Do you want an extra $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 a month or do you want to make $50,000 or $100,000 a month? Are you into making millions a year? You're going to be able to do that, but you're going to have to put forth a lot more effort. Okay, so let's look at some of the different business models. The first one is drop shipping. Drop shipping is great. It's a great way to make some money online. You don't have to buy the product. You don't have to ship out the product. You don't really have to deal with the customer much and you can make money. So it's a great way to start out. Drop shipping, I guess, is the number one thing I'm going to tell you. Now, when I say number one, these aren't in any certain order. I'm just going to list all the different ways you can make money online. But drop shipping is a great way to start. Number two way is print on demand. There are so many companies worldwide now. So when you think of print on demand, don't think just your territory or your state or your country even. There are print on demand companies all the way around the world now. So if you want to sell in Europe, you can do that. If you want to sell in North America, you can do that. And the cool thing about print on demand is you can sell products that aren't even made yet. Let's say you're selling hats or t-shirts or blankets with specialty wording on them. You can actually put those up on your site or market those on social media. And when you sell that item, you send the order to the print on demand company. They make that product and they actually ship it out to the customer. Now, I have another video on this channel about drop shipping and print on demand. So I would say go to my channel after you've gone through all this training. Check out those videos. Okay, so the next place you want to check out is Etsy. Etsy is a pretty cool place, but it is designed for one of a kind items. Items that are not necessarily one of a kind, but are handmade or fabricated. Now, you may say, well, I don't make anything, so I'm not going to be able to sell there, but you can because print on demand actually works on Etsy because that's a custom type item. That's not something that they could go buy in a department store. So you could sell your print on demand items and a lot of people do on Etsy. So that's a great marketplace. They have a ton of people go in there and you can sell your items there and make some money pretty darn quick. The next way to make money, it's one of my favorite, it's digital products. Digital products. Now, you think about this. If it's a digital product, once you've made it, it doesn't cost you anymore to reproduce it over and over and over again. Now, what I have is I have courses. So some of my courses are you buy the course, you log in, you get access to different videos, and you can watch them. But it's digital. Okay, so I can sell that to 10 people or to 100, to a million. I can sell to as many people as I actually want, but it doesn't cost me anymore because it just sets there on the server. And when people go in and use it, it doesn't get used up. So digital products are awesome. I also have continuity in some of my digital products where they'll pay monthly. And some of these things are only like $19 a month or $27 a month. But think about this. $27 a month is not a lot of money, but times a hundred, it's $2,700 a month. Times a thousand, it's $27,000 a month. So if you get a digital product and it takes off just a little bit, you're going to have this recurring income every single month. I love digital products. Next up is blogging. Do you like to write? Do you like to write stories? Do you like to write about your life or your travels or whatever it is? Blogging is a great way to make money. Now you don't really make money from blogging. It's all the ancillary things that's along with blogging. Nobody's going to just pay you to write a blog unless that's what you do for a living. But if you start a blog, let's say you're doing a travel blog. And let's say your travel blog is about Europe in different places in Europe. You can write in there each day what you're doing or each week what you're doing and give a lot of details and pictures. But alongside of that, you can have ads running. You can have Google ads running in there. You can earn money on AdSense. In addition to that, think about this, in the blog itself, let's say you have a camera. Let's say you have a walking stick, whatever it is, you can put links to those items back to Amazon. And when somebody buys those items or any item within the next 24 hours when they use your link, you get paid again. So it's not just the blog itself. It's all the ancillary things. And let's say maybe you have some products that you want to sell. You can put links to those inside your blogs so that people can click those and go buy those products too. So there's a lot of ways to make money on blogs. And I think it's excellent for somebody who likes to write. And if you want to flip that over and call it a vlog, then we're over to YouTube. And that's what I do. I'm doing YouTube right now and I'm teaching you about selling products online. But this is my vlog, okay? I'm teaching you how to do stuff. It's educational. And if you look down in the description, you're going to find Amazon links down there. You're going to find links to my courses down there. You're going to find, matter of fact, you'll find a free course down there right now. That's what I'm doing a promotion. It's $97 course. You can get it absolutely free. There will be a link below. But I have other products down there. I also have it set up where people sign up to get my information. And when they do, they get on my list and I can email them and email market them. So there's a lot of ways to make money on a blog or a vlog all from your couch. Number six is affiliate marketing. I love affiliate marketing. I started off years ago. I guess it was 2015. And I had a course that I put on there and ClickBank kind of backed it and they did an interview with me and I did a webinar. And that course did over $300,000 in 72 hours. So I was blown away. I was like, wow, that's a lot of money to make on one course. But it is a product that would lend itself to affiliate marketing because ClickBank is an affiliate marketplace. Now, if you don't want to do your own course and get affiliates, you can just be an affiliate for another course. And that's the cool thing about ClickBank is you could go there and you can see what the popular products are. And for the most part, they're all digital products. You can see what the popular ones are. And then you can actually market those products. You don't have to develop a product. You don't have to make a sales page. You don't have to set up a funnel. You have to do anything. All you have to do is drive traffic to that particular offer. And when people buy, you get paid, which is a pretty darn good deal. And I'll tell you, a lot of those products are 50% commission. Some of them are 80% and 90% commission. So that's pretty phenomenal. Affiliate marketing, I love. You can also do affiliate marketing, let's say for Amazon. Like I said, I have some links below of some of the equipment I used to do filming. And you can click on those links. And if you buy something or you buy anything within the next 24 hours, I get a commission, which is a pretty cool deal. So there's all kinds of affiliate type things you can do. And it takes very little effort to get involved in it. It takes you almost no money. And number seven, and I mentioned this a little bit earlier, but online courses and training, online courses and training. It's a great way to make money online. Now I'm doing training right now. And you would say to me, well, JR, you're doing free training. You're not making any money at it. I am making money at it. And here's why I'm making money at it. Several different ways. Those affiliate links that I mentioned, if you're watching this video and you click one of those, I get paid. My other links down there, maybe you grab a free course, but then you get on my email list and I email you something and you buy that, I get paid. Not to mention this channel is now monetized. So ads run on this channel. And when those ads run, they charge advertisers and I get a portion of that also. So even if I'm doing this free training like this, I can still make money. But maybe you want to do a course. Maybe you want to develop a course on art or play in the guitar or basketball or tennis or whatever it is. And you want to sell a course like that. You may want to do one-on-one training. Maybe you want to do some consulting type things and charge by the hour for that. So there's so many ways that you can make money online and still sit on that couch. So we've been through seven ways you could make money. And I think you're probably watching this now going, man, I could do that. I could do that. You probably picked one or two of these that you think, hey, it would be perfect for you. But hold on because there's six more. And that's in video two. And you're going to find a link below this video. And it's going to be part two of this particular training.
