Hi All! I am George Pierce with about 20 years of online marketing experience. In this post, I will share two make money online options that I invite you to consider. Both are free and both are proven to work.
What is important to you is that I am doing what I share and sharing what I do. On the Internet, you will find three kinds of instruction. One is from those who do not know, one is from those who teach, and the third is from those who do. Those who do not know typically share second-hand information, those who teach are often book smart, but not always street smart, and those who do, have working knowledge and actual experience.
There are a few 'catches'!
TANSTAFL? There ain't no such thing as a free lunch. There is no out-of-pocket expense, however, you will need to put in the effort. As mentioned, both methods will work, but only if you will work. You can invest as little as an hour or two a day, about 10 hours a week minimum, or more.
Need Money NOW! If you need immediate income, what I am about to share is probably not a good fit. Although it is possible to make money immediately, I doubt that will happen. At ten hours a week, using free methods, it may take you a month before you begin to see income. Initially, the income will typically be a trickle, however, as your efforts accumulate, your income will grow. Legally, I cannot make any promises, except that what I share has worked for me over and over again, so it should work for you.
You will need to be consistent! Your online audience will grow and grow as long as you are consistent. Your free online business will be driven by search engines that know when you are consistent. Your visitors will become followers, subscribers, purchasers, and so on, as long as you are consistent. If you are the kind of person who makes a commitment and sticks with it, I encourage you to read on.

The first option that you might want to consider is called affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is mainly about learning how to generate traffic, which makes it easier for newbies. As an affiliate marketer, your job is to bring buyers and sellers together. The seller handles all the rest...the selling, the sale, the delivery, the support, and so on. Your main job is to send visitors to your affiliate(s) and when a sale is made, you make a commission.
There is another 'catch'. Affiliate marketing without building an email list is not in your best interest. A list will mean about four times more income. so learning how to grow a list as well as learning how to generate traffic is what will be involved.
Free! The tools and resources that you will need are available at no cost. It is good business to spend money on the things that your business needs, but it is bad business to spend money that your business does not yet have, so I strongly suggest that you focus on free until you can afford to upgrade. I have put together what I call My Ultimate List, which is a list of free tools and resources for getting started online.
Your second option is to grow a YouTube channel. YouTube will provide you with a free channel on the second busiest site on the Internet and if you have any kind of a Google account, getting your free channel is about as easy as logging in. Your income potential as an affiliate marketer or as a YouTube creator is only limited by your imagination, however, immediate income, as mentioned, is not likely. On YT, I am using a faceless video adaptation, which eliminates the need to create videos, which is a phenomenal time saver, however, making money is probably going to take months (perhaps five to six months).
As a YT creator, your job is to create videos. Your content needs to be geared to what your viewers want and it MUST be consistent. Most serious YTers create at least a video per week. For some people, creating videos and being on camera is NOT an option. If so, the faceless video approach is available. You use other people's videos, legally, of course, and upload those videos to your channel. My adaptation is to use videos that are Public Domain or videos that are allowed under the Fair Use Act of 76, such as old movies, vintage TV, vintage cartoons, old commercials, game shows, kid's shows, and so on, tailored to a particular niche and for educational purposes. I have been using YT as a way to generate traffic for about 13 years, I have only been using it as a way to grow a channel for almost 1 year, however, I am having excellent results.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
