Besides by promoting good and valued products through your website you would also be increasing the traffic of your website. To make them interested in your website/blog you should feature products that are popular and prepare well-written contents or images of the product. This will also have a positive effect on your site’s search engine ranking.

Through different sites and link-ups, you can create an income funnel that’s suitable for you.

04. Online Tutoring

You create a set of courses and publish them on a well-known teaching platform like Udemy, Teachable, Lynda, etc. for a set amount of sum to buy a full course or monthly fee to learn from classes from the teachers directly. They mainly join these platforms to better manage students and payment.

05. E-commerce
