Sell stock photos or videos online 📸
Got a phone? Take pictures of random junk and sell ‘em online. Someone, somewhere, needs a high-res pic of a half-eaten sandwich—don’t ask why, just take their money.
Create and sell digital printables 🎨
Make fancy to-do lists, wall art, or planner pages. People love buyin’ stuff they coulda made themselves for free—but won’t.
Join affiliate programs and promote links 💰
Slap your special links all over the internet, and when folks buy, you get a slice. It’s like being a door-to-door salesman, but without the pants.
Start a free blog with ad monetization ✍️
Write about stuff like “10 Ways to Get Rich While Nappin’” and watch the ad money roll in. Pro tip: Cats and conspiracies = gold.
Offer online transcription services 🎧
Listen to folks mumble for hours, type out their nonsense, and get paid. Great if you enjoy deciphering gibberish.
Start a dropshipping store 🛒
Sell stuff without ever touching it. The dream: makin’ money in your sleep. The reality: angry customers and supplier drama.
Sell low-content books on Amazon 📚
Write a journal with blank pages and call yourself an “author.” If folks wanna pay for empty paper, who are we to stop ‘em?
Create and sell an online course 🎓
Teach somethin’—anything. If you can cook toast without settin’ off the fire alarm, congrats, you’re a chef now.
Offer voiceover work on Fiverr 🎙️
Got a voice smoother than a buttered biscuit? Get paid to say stuff, like readin’ bedtime stories to the internet.
Launch a small YouTube channel 📺
Film yourself doin’ dumb things, or just react to other folks doin’ dumb things. Either way, ads = money.
Buy & flip domain names 🌐
Buy somethin’ ridiculous like “ToothlessGator.com” and wait for some lunatic to want it bad enough to pay big bucks.
Invest in an automated print-on-demand business 👕
Design ridiculous t-shirts, like “World’s Okayest Human,” and let someone else do all the work. You just collect the cash.
Purchase and rent out websites 💻
Buy a website, slap some ads on it, and forget about it. Check back in a year and see if you’re a millionaire yet.
Buy ad space and monetize traffic 📢
Put ads in front of eyeballs and get paid when folks click. Just don’t make it one of those pop-ups that won’t close. That’s just mean.
Develop and sell niche mobile apps 📱
Find a problem, make an app to “fix” it, and charge folks to download it. Bonus points if it don’t actually fix nothin’ but still makes money.
