How to Make More Money Online This Year

If you want to make more money online, I am here to cheer you on! I have been earning online income for almost two years and it has completely changed my life.

Here are a few different ways to make money online if you are a blogger, business owner or entrepreneur:

• Offering freelance services
• Ad income
• Creating a course or product to sell 
• Writing sponsored posts
• Affiliate income (Here’s one of my favorite affiliate programs).

These can be considered side hustles, part-time jobs, or even full-time jobs. When I first started out I had a full-time job and could only blog in my spare time. Within four months, I made $60 online with my blog! This is my first blog income report where I share exactly how I did it! I continued to work hard so I would succeed online. In under two years, I managed to:

• Start a blog with no experience (see my step-by-step tutorial here)
• Start a freelance career and launch a Pinterest management company
• Quit my full-time day job in only ten months
• Earn over $80,000 in my first full year of blogging full time and having my Pinterest business

This blog post shares my exact month-by-month steps on how I created and grew my online blog and business.

Today I’m going to share with you three different methods so you can make more money online!

Become a Pinterest Virtual Assistant

I launched my Pinterest management company in 2015 to assist fellow bloggers and businesses with their Pinterest needs.  This includes:

• Creating custom Pinterest pins.

• Developing and executing a Pinterest marketing plan.

• Using a scheduler like Tailwind to schedule pins.

After successfully helping dozens of clients over the past two years, I realized that many freelancers and virtual assistants aren’t familiar with this niche. It’s a hot market with very little competition. I consistently averaged around $3,600 working part-time each month as a Pinterest manager. That’s why I created Become a Pinterest VA TODAY!  This mastermind course is designed to help freelancers and VA’s get into the Pinterest market by providing the exact same skill set I provided to clients. As long as you are comfortable using Pinterest, this course is exactly what you need to grow your business! Here’s what you’ll learn:

• How to land your first client within 30-60 days and start making $500 – $1,000 per month.
• Expert advice from Gina Horkey (HorkeyHandbook.com) and myself. We both averaged around $3,600 – 4,000 in virtual assistant work within 6 months of freelancing.
• 6 modules that include video training that includes how much to charge clients, where to find clients, how to pitch and follow up, and the tools you need to succeed (like accounting software!)
• An in-depth, step-by-step workbook to guide you through the entire process.
• Actionable steps to start your Pinterest VA business!
