1. Start a short video enterprise

Short videos are what almost every person is clicking to watch these days.

With such videos, you don’t need to employ the services of companies to record and shoot your videos.

If you are good at stand-alone comedy, this type of online business could come in handy.

At least with your phone in your hand, you don’t need anything else to make your videos.

Gone are the days when people cry about not having a video camera.

The evolution of smartphones made it very possible for almost everybody to become a journalist. Lol.

Information these days is spread even before the almighty Radio and TV houses hear about it.

It is the work of smartphones and social media platforms.

Funny enough, many of these Radio and TV houses get their information from the social media through the video evidence someone recorded with his or her phone.

Back to our discussion, if you are good at making people laugh, you can start it as a business.

All you need is to take it seriously. Make it serious stuff. Record your videos and push them out there.

Starting up is always disappointing, difficult and it might even force you to withdraw.

It is only when you persevere that you can reach your limelight.

2. Start a free online business by becoming an affiliate marketer

Another business you can start today and begin to make good money is affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing has to do with selling a product for a company or individual and getting a commission when the person buys using your platform.

It is very very possible to make affiliate marketing a business. The question is, are you prepared?

Amazon affiliate marketing is a great platform that would give you this opportunity.

You can register a free account with Amazon and start promoting their products with either your blog or your social media handle.

Great enough, if you have a social media handle that has great followers or subscribers, you have done yourself a great deal.

One thing with Amazon affiliates is that they will allow you to create a free account with them.

The account will be terminated after 150 days if it was not able to secure at least 3 genuine buyers.

But don’t be afraid, even after your account is terminated, you can still reapply and your account will be approved again.

My strongest advice is that you try your very best to have a good following before reapplying.

3. Sell stories on Amazon

While you think of becoming an affiliate in Amazon, have you thought of selling stories on the same Amazon platform?

If you have not it is time to give it a shot. If you are good at telling stories whether fiction or nonfiction.

You are welcome to create an ebook and share it on Amazon.

Amazon has millions of subscribers and if you can publish an ebook using the right keywords, trust me you are opening a doorway to financial freedom.

One interesting thing is that you don’t just need Amazon to sell your books. You can sell your books on many other platforms like Gumroad, Kobo books etc.

So if you are a good storyteller please do not allow that talent to go to waste.

Utilize it by converting them into an ebook and publishing them on Amazon or other bookselling platforms.

4. Teach people to lose/gain weights

Are you good with the gym? Are you good at teaching people what they can do about their health?

This could be a wonderful business opportunity for you.

See what you should know about financial independence

Lots of people want to lose weight, lots want to add up while many want to remain the way they are.

You can come in handy here. Make videos these sets of people would want to watch.

Because you are solving their problems they would want to always come around to know more.

5. Start a free online business by teaching people how to cook

It will baffle you when I say that you can turn your cooking skills into a mighty company.

It is already glaring on our faces but the problem is our inability to grasp the opportunity.

You can make tons of fortune only by teaching people how to cook good food.

It is very much possible that people can argue about this but you wouldn’t know what you are missing if you are not doing this.

If you have good cooking skills, trust me many people out there are seeking your services.

6. Write content for people

Are you skillful in writing? Why not start applying to blogs that would require your writing services?

If you are good at writing, trust me, writing for other people can be an open door for you.

That is another way to start a free online business.

7. Manage people’s social media

Another free online business that pays greatly is social media handling.

Do you think, for example, the management of Manchester United are the ones managing their social media platforms?

No. It is handled by a set of individuals whose primary work is to keep fans updated via social media.

Many celebrities also do not have time for their social media handles.

They also require the services of social media managers to keep their fans and supporters updated.

As you can see, many people need the services of social media management.

You can make that a business and trust me, you can earn a lot from it.

8. Create digital products

Another free online business you can start today is the selling of digital products.

This is only possible for those who can create items that can be consumed digitally.

Some of these items include but are not limited to themes for websites, website plugins, SEO tools, mobile applications, softwares etc.

If you have good knowledge in producing any of these products you wouldn’t know the good you are doing for yourself when you put them up for sale.

9. Become a graphics designer

Another free online business you can start today is graphics designing.

If you have a good knowledge in designing stuff like logos, invitation cards etc I am still wondering why you have not ventured into making that a business.

Stop bordering yourself about the unavailability of finance. If you have the needed gadgets, start now to make money from them.

10. Teach people to manage their pets

Do you know that a lot of people would want to know the best ways to manage their pets?

Not every person has the money to spend on animal specialists.

You can create a video channel and dedicate it to let’s say “Pet Health”.

Here you teach pet owners the best ways to take care of their pets.

Imagine where you are offering this service for free. Of course, you know the massive traffic you will be attracting to your channel.

This massive traffic means massive money lol.

11. Relationship therapist

A relationship is something that many are involved in today.

Lots of people are making research on how to sustain their relationships.

Some who are heartbroken are seeking what they can do to mend their broken hearts.

If you are good at talking to people as it regards relationship matters then you should count yourself worthy cause you have found yourself a job.

12. Star a free online business with Freelancing

In our constant discussion, we have explained this. Freelancing is the process of doing things for people and getting paid for the service.

Freelancing can come in any field. You don’t also need a certificate to start this.

But there is a big plus if you have a certificate because it also goes a long way in helping possible employers to develop quick trust in you.

Also, if you want to start making instant money from freelancing, consider uploading evidence of what you can do in the portfolio section.

Freelancing pays a great lot if you know what you are doing.

13. Teach people the benefits of different plants

Another form of business you can start for free online is teaching people the benefits of different plants.

My father will always tell me that all plants on earth have their health benefits. The only problem is that those benefits are yet to be discovered.

If you see yourself as that herbalist who has the potential to tell the benefits of any kind of plant, consider yourself an enterprise owner.

Teaching people the benefits of these leaves will leave people wowed.

Create a business enterprise by only teaching people the benefits of plants. Trust me, it is a business that must excel.

14. Start online tutorial classes on difficult subjects

Maybe you have not thought of this. This is a highly profitable niche if you know what you are doing.

Some difficult subjects like physics, chemistry, mathematics etc are hotcakes.

If you can dedicate a channel for this, trust me, you will come back to thank me.

One thing also is that you should try to develop good teaching skills that would enable you to pass your information well and never get bored.

Online classes are usually boring. You will make a mockery of yourself if you don’t know how to carry learners who are not around you along.

So to succeed in this, you will need a very special skill and method that would need to keep the learners engaged.

15. Star a free online business with a news blog

Finally on our list is a news blog. You must not be a journalist before you can start reporting issues happening around you.

One thing with news bloggers is that when they start developing authority (people seeing them as genuine), boom! Their stardom kicks in.

You can create a news blog to start telling stories of things happening in your immediate environment.

Final words

The world today has gone global. With the emergence of smartphones and the internet, people can now make money with virtually everything and anything.

You can start an online business with your smartphone or PC in the comfort of your home.
