But at the initial level, it’s a very good option to earn small expenses.

Everything can’t be revealed for free!
Thus, if you have content in your niche which you can’t publish like a normal blog post, then you can create a premium membership page for your blog.
In which you can charge the user for accessing premium content which is not available anywhere else.
And if you have that damn good content, which people really need, then you could definitely earn a great amount through it.

23: Domain Flipping
You can try your hand in Domain Flipping, It’s a business of buying and selling of Old/Expired Domain names.
You can buy some old and authority domains which are listed for sale and then sell them for even higher prices.
Online Marketplaces like Flippa have websites listed to be sold, Buying the best website, working on it and then reselling it at high prices even multiple times of buying price can be a very profitable business.

Having proper knowledge of the market, and domains could result in an insane amount of earning.

Having loyal and genuine readers always results in more income.
If you have the same, then you can ask for donations as well to your readers who really read and love your content.
Gateways like Paypal allows you to add a donate button anywhere on your blog you want, and that too with no coding requirements.
Websites who don’t have any ad-network approved or doing anything which isn’t white hat, those sites use this method the most to generate revenue.
25: Paid Surveys
Brands keep organising online surveys regarding their products and services.
If you get sponsored posts, simultaneously there are great chances of getting an offer for a survey as well by the brand.
If you have a strong social network, then the chances become great of getting paid surveys.

If you have anything special or skills which you think you could teach others then
you can make and sell courses for your readers and sell them at a good price.
Again, the power should be in the content and the way of your teaching.
Ripon Sahaji – Tech Ripon (Youtuber and a Blogger) have made money in lakhs
through just selling his courses.
Trust worthiness is again the most important factor.
28: Promote Offline Startups
Just like big brands, some offline business also promotes themselves digitally through websites and social media.

And by charging them you can promote their offline business on your blog by giving them a shoutout or showing their product in your video/blog post.
By this you could earn a good amount of money and also can promote offline startups.
