still found it stressful...
Is this you? I think not because you are reading this, but really, I don't know.
In most cases, people feel like that because of a lack of knowledge, maybe shame to admit it, bad experiences, or simply a lack of interest or something else.

What is required to set up an Extra Income Online A.K.A. "Side Hustle"?
As you will see, You don't need much.
Almost everyone has a phone,
access to the internet, and can have access to a computer.
REQUIRED:
- Laptop
- Internet connection
- Phone
- And the "Secret Sauce"
I'll start backward in this list:
- The "Secret sauce" will be revealed at the end in a video, just read the rest to get you started in creating an extra income Online.
- Do you have a Phone?
You probably do, and there is a high chance that you'll be reading this thru one...
Some of us underestimate the power behind this hand device.
Look, you are reading the words written by someone else on your phone.
Do you get it?!
In the same way you are accessing this information, you can help others by creating and sharing your unique way to do things (anything you want to share).
That means that you can do posts, videos, make calls and messages all around the internet with a device that gives you access virtually to anything, to almost anyone from anywhere, at any time.
Yes, you will need to interact in your social media, or respond to messages, but just think about where people are today...
at Work... at Home... Online... Social media... reading post... sharing post...
They are smacking that "LIKE" in thier favorite videos... searching those things they like... shopping those things they want...
...following the People, they Like and Trust.
If can you relate to this...
You'll be amazed how much value your experiences can bring to the table.
Start sharing your post, videos. Yeah, just start doing some content.
- Do we need to talk about the internet?
I made some research I will share with you...Hang on!!
It connects you Worldwide... just think about it.
It's crazy how people used to think about the Internet in the 1990s...
Few really adopted the new 'ONLINE ' technology in their lives or business.
Most individuals were skeptical about using the Internet in the 1st phase- WEB 1.0
Before the "Dot-Com", some Companies that didn't jump into this Online game, disappeared from the market.
Remember Blockbuster stores? (if you weren't born yet- Google it)
Have you seen their services online?
No, but other players have emerged with the Online movement like Netflix and Redbox with Video-On-Demand services.
How about Amazon? Born in that changing era, today is a giant of the internet.
These companies not only positioned themselves for the opportunity but took the long-term play.
Facebook (today META) changed everything in 2004 and WEB 2.0 brought Social Media.
Connecting people ;)
Now we can connect, interact, and share ideas with anyone around the world, family, friends, old-school classmates, and more...
It helped businesses to do better advertisements.
And helped individuals (like you and me) to grow businesses like e-Commerce,
Content Creator, Influencers, Business Consultants, Fitness coaches,
and the list keeps growing.
There are a lot of things to be thankful for having access to the internet, but also, there is a lot of responsibility that comes along too.
And we can all learn lessons from this brief history.
How valuable is it for Any Business to have a presence Online?
Well Think about about what Forbes.com said:
Only in "...e-commerce in the U.S. will amount to $469.2 billion in 2021, an increase from $431.6 billion in 2020."
This gives you the idea, that yes you can make money online,
....and yes, it's easier than ever.
it's possible to Set up a "Side Hustle" Online using a Laptop.
With today's apps and technology... you'll be blown away by how easy can be.
It's never been a better time to build a Business Online and start earning an extra income.
The market has been curated for you.
And that means, you don't need to re-invent, but use methods that have been working for others- Model their success.
I will briefly talk about 4 of them. And everyone can get a piece of the pie.
How can I start?
4 Common ways to Start Online Today
> Video Content Creator- often called "Creators".
In a lot of cases, people want to do Video Editing, 3d graphic design, or something similar like NFT's.
Well, if you have a lot of knowledge of Professional video editing, this is a great way for you to start. Be willing to invest and learn. It's a very profitable way to use computers and is in high demand.
Take into consideration that it will be something from $1k and more just to get started with proper equipment and programs.
You will need a high-power computer with lots of extra space. And also think about the programs, apps, and plugins.
Also, be willing to put in a lot of hours of learning. You are up to the challenge?
Now look...Don't underestimate the power of video on your phone.
TikTok is a Platform that can offer a good start to understanding video editing in short-form content, without investing anything but time, and is in the power of your phone...
...and NO, it's not just a "Dancing app" for Kids.
As a matter to take into consideration there is a high demand for creators that can tell stories for BRANDS (companies that want exposure to people who are using Tik Tok) are willing to pay you for making 15-30 second videos.
And that is for every video platform- Youtube, Instagram, Facebook...
Go try this, and make it fun.
> E-Commerce Store. Online Store or a virtual shop
You can offer your custom-made products, from bracelets to printed cups, and clothing with your brand name. Furniture, vintage, electronics, jewelry, etc...Or leverage other people's products and services with services like Print-On-Demand.
The Online Shopping experience is very broad, so there is a lot to offer.
There is also money to be invested, like monthly fees, for the store. Inventory, shipping cost. Plus the time of setup, learn the store structure, marketing, etc...
Running Paid Ads- it's a way to get the most out of a store if you have an audience.
Is it worth it?
But remember, only in this type of Online Business in the US was
"...$431.6 billion in 2020."
Almost half of a trillion dollars in just 1 year...
So yeah, there is some 'bacon' to be made there.
Platforms like Shopify, offer good services to host your E-Commerce store.
They offer their own setup guide to help you get started.
I'm not an expert on this topic. But think about this, if there are people doing this Business Model is because it works.
Just take in mind you will need to invest.
> Writing - often called Copywriting".
Do you like writing?
Then this is for you.
Writing is a skill in high demand like translation services for essays, resumes, etc.
Also is a free way to share information and attract people interested in certain topics. And a good way to share your insight into other people's findings.
Writing- NEEDS NO INVESTMENT
As you can see, this is a great way to start an extra income using your laptop, because you don't need to invest much but having a Laptop, your writing skills and time.
Offer your services on platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and others.
NOW, Why is called Copywriting?
Now here is where it gets interesting...
This is a definition I found:
"Copywriting is the strategy of creating persuasive content for Marketing and Sales to generate conversions and sales. Some examples are emails, websites, advertisements, catalogs, and others. The professional assigned to write and develop the “copy” is the copywriter."
And that means, you can combine your writing skills with "Marketing and Sales" strategies, and you have a profitable way to make an extra income using just your laptop.
This is what is called a "High Paying Skill" because is an effective way to bring customers to any business; if it's done right.
HINT: Education- is the best investment you can do to make a career in writing.
**Check a resource to learn 3 High Paying Skills at the end.
> Marketing
The word, Marketing, rings many bells and whistles to most of us.
No, I'm not talking about an MLM, "Pyramid Scheme" type.
I'm talking about promoting products and services that people already buy.
Not talking about chasing family and friends, and begging them to buy your products.
That feels wrong and is not sustainable in the long run.
Feels like the "Snake Oil" Salesman Trade.
Most of the time it connects our brains to be 'sold' on something that we don't need.
But you don't need to see it like that unless you are selling an "igloo to an Eskimo".
Now that is a true scam... please, just avoid this behavior.
If you search for marketing on Google you will end up with many definitions, different concepts, and even advertisements on "HOW TO USE MARKETING TO..."
Now, just being reasonable...
There are good and bad ways to market products and services. Just avoid the wrong ones.
As you could see in the 3 first recommendations to Earn Extra Income Online, (Online Shop or E-commerce, Video Creation, and Copywriting), all 3 of them can be combined with marketing.
Essential Skill- So is crucial that you know that this is an essential skill to understand because you will stumble on the need to use marketing in most businesses online.
But also be aware of the power it has to bring new customers to any brick-and-mortar business, especially from this Online.
You may not know how it works, but from the POV of the customer side, preparing and launching a marketing campaign from the side of the Business Owner is a very different story.
What's a misconception about marketing?
I'll tell you what is NOT...
Marketing is not about telling or begging people to buy from you...
> Digital Marketing
Digital Marketing has become an asset skill for every online business because of the reach it can have to a broad audience, with just a few clicks.
It's a worldwide audience with a few clicks!
Now that is powerful!!
Is an interesting way to promote your business, and increase your revenue.
You can literally sell anything to anyone anywhere in the world without having a physical store or having to pay for billboards or magazine ads that are expensive with a limited reach.
Now, that is even more powerful.
You can sell physical products to information courses and programs for transformation like fitness, relationships, and more.
You don't need to create your own product.
Simply leverage other people's products and make commissions over and over.
This can be done by a term called Affiliate Marketing more of this in the next article.
Some products and services have what is called High Ticket services.
And that means you can sell products with high profitable commissions.
