00:00Have you ever typed in how to make money online into Google and immediately got hit with scams,
00:04dropshipping horror stories, and a fake guru living in Dubai trying to sell you a $1,000 course?
00:09Then this video is for you, because today I got 10 legitimate clever ways on how to make money
00:13online. And this won't be your typical like, oh, just make a blog post, none of that stuff.
00:17These methods are legit, real, and they can actually work, especially with the introduction
00:21of AI technology. Eventually, we will take all your jobs and make you our slaves. Ha ha ha.
00:26Yeah, not yet. Now, working online has become very popular. I myself, I live in Bangkok,
00:31Thailand, where I work remotely online on YouTube. And this allows me to travel abroad and to live
00:35in different countries and just experience life. You went to Thailand because you were poor.
00:39Oh my God. Anyways, let's dive into it. First up, YouTube jobs. You don't need to be a YouTuber to
00:44make money from YouTube. In 2025, there's a growing industry around helping creators run their channels.
00:50These include jobs like video editing, thumbnail design, voiceovers, content scripting, and even
00:54managing community comments. Now I can vouch for this. I actually have video editors. I pay monthly.
00:59I pay them about $4,000 a month on average. I also have a thumbnail artist where I pay him about $1,000
01:05a month. And then also I have a community manager that helps me respond to all the comments on my
01:10YouTube channel. I pay them about $800 a month as well. You can find these jobs on platforms like
01:15Fiverr, Upwork, or even YouTubejobs.com. If you can offer consistent quality work, many of these jobs
01:21can turn into long-term contracts or even recurring monthly income. Now that I think about it, I do need
01:25another thumbnail artist. So if you're good at it, let me know in the comments below.
01:28Number two, and my favorites, selling your AI prompts. As AI continues to grow, prompt engineers
01:33are becoming a legitimate income stream. Platforms like PromptBase.com allows people to sell useful,
01:39high-quality prompts for ChatGPT, MidJourney, or other AI tools. You can also sell prompts on eBay,
01:44Amazon.com, and just about anywhere. With the demand for AI prompts increasing, sellers report making an
01:49average of about $500 to $5,000 a month. Once you create a prompt, you can sell it over and over again
01:55with no extra work. Now here's another idea that I'm currently invested in. So there are platforms
01:59like Lovable.ai and also Hostinger Horizons. You could develop prompts that can create full-blown apps
02:04or websites with a few sophisticated prompts. I'm in the works with it right now, so whenever I make it,
02:09I'll let you guys know. And number three, and this is where I actually paid someone $2,000 on Upwork,
02:14start a Reddit marketing agency. This one's a goldmine. I recently paid $2,000
02:19for 25 comments and post mentions. Have you ever noticed how Reddit is getting more and more
02:23biased? Well, that's because marketers are now targeting Reddit. Reddit is a tricky platform
02:27for marketers. Most companies don't understand it, and they usually get banned for promoting
02:31themselves. However, there is a way to do it. Reddit marketing is where you can offer your
02:35services like subreddit engagements, post creation, comment strategy, and AME coordination.
02:40Reddit marketing agencies charge about $2,000 to even $10,000 a month per campaign.
02:45Now, since Google has basically listed Reddit as a top search result, you can be certain you're
02:50going to see a lot more commercial posts from Reddit marketing agencies.
02:54You humans are so dumb. You're literally talking to robots on Reddit.
02:58I mean, she has a point. The WordPress subreddit has just become a spam center for page builders.
03:03I won't say which one, but it begins with a B, and it sounds like bricks. Moving on.
03:08Number four, Amazon KDP. This is a passive income hack for people who still think print is dead.
03:14With Amazon KDP, you can now publish low content books like journals, planners, or even coloring
03:19books. There's no writing talent needed. One woman published a series of daily planners and reported
03:24earning $8,000 a month. I actually know a couple right now in Thailand, and they create child books
03:29and they sell them on Amazon. So they create these basic math books like 1 plus 1, 2 times 2,
03:34and also coloring books, and they report making about $7,000 a month on Amazon. The children niche is
03:40actually huge, and this stuff is actually really simple to make. So give it a try.
03:44Number five, and I think this might be like the future, is buying and selling YouTube channels.
03:48Just like flipping houses, you can flip YouTube channels. Buyers want age channels that already
03:52meet YouTube's monetization rules or are in valuable niches like health or finance. You can buy small
03:57channels from Flippa.com. Some flippers even automate channel growth using faceless video production.
04:02Flipping a channel with 3K subscribers and a niche could net you around $6,000 in profit if properly
04:08optimized. I could probably sell this channel right now for about $2 to $3 million if I wanted to.
04:13The thing is, I'm making around $400K a year in affiliate commissions. So with that kind of
04:18revenue, yeah, $2 million sounds about right. Number six, selling online courses. If you're good
04:23at literally anything, and I mean anything, playing chess, baking keto donuts, or just using Excel,
04:28turn it into an online course. Platforms like Teachable and Gumroad let you upload your course
04:32and sell it forever. I made about $250,000 selling courses on Udemy, and it's really not
04:38even that hard. Even if you get a hundred students paying $50 each, that's $5,000 for knowledge that
04:43you already have. You simply create it once and earn from it forever. If you have knowledge for
04:48something, people are definitely willing to pay for it. I've seen courses for people learning how
04:52to pick up roadkill off of a highway, right? And it doesn't really matter because there's so many
04:56people out there. There's virtually a niche for any type of industry. Number seven, selling websites
05:02or apps using AI tools. Have you ever heard of Lovable or Hostinger Horizons? These platforms
05:07allow you to create full websites or web applications just by describing what you want in your natural
05:12language. You don't need to write code, hire a developer, or understand backend infrastructure.
05:17You just write a detailed prompt. Let's say you want to create a terms of service generator for
05:21small businesses. You would enter something like this. Create an application where a user inputs their
05:25business name, website URL, and location, and then it generates a downloadable terms and conditions file.
05:31Hostinger Horizons will generate the app infrastructure, the input form, the download
05:35function, and even basic styling. Also, with a tool like lovable.ai, you can build multi-page apps and
05:41add user authentication, Stripe integration, and email collection, all without writing a single line of
05:46code. Once you've built your app, you can then start a subscription plan like $9 a month or even $49
05:51for a lifetime plan. Then you can use YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram to start driving traffic to your
05:57website to start making more sales. And as a bonus, I do actually have demo apps that
06:01I've actually created myself. And I'll put those in the video description if you do want to check
06:05those out. Number eight, sell your own product with Printify or Shopify, but make sure to use
06:10YouTube shopping. Print on demand lets you create and sell physical products without ever handling
06:14inventory. You can design shirts, mugs, hoodies, posters on Printify or Teespring. You can also sell
06:20your own physical products using Shopify. And the great thing is you can use YouTube shopping to promote
06:24your product. Now when a customer places an order, the product is printed and shipped automatically.
06:28You're in a profit margin. Creators like Daniel Simmons built full-fashioned brands with this
06:32approach. Have you ever noticed those products at the bottom of those YouTube channels? Yep,
06:36that's YouTube shopping. Then just make YouTube videos in order to promote it. Now here's the
06:40thing. Starting an e-commerce website before was actually quite difficult. You had to first make the
06:44e-commerce websites, then you had to run Facebook ads and Google ads, and you probably didn't know what
06:49you were doing. However, with the introduction of YouTube shopping, you can now sync your store to your
06:53channel. The products will be displayed below your videos as people watch your own YouTube videos.
06:57I mean, this makes it a hell of a lot easier to sell products on YouTube, so go for it.
07:01Number nine, teaching English online or abroad. In countries like Thailand or Indonesia,
07:06schools will pay $2,000 to $3,000 per month for English teachers. Now if you don't want to travel,
07:10you can always teach online. Many teachers also teach online through platforms like Cambly or
07:15Italki, bringing in extra income. This method works especially well if you want to travel or live
07:20abroad for extended periods. And to my American friends out there, these schools actually pay top dollar
07:25for the American accents. A lot of people in South America or Asia, they have a very hard time
07:30understanding the British accents or the Eastern European accents, so they all prefer the American
07:35accent, probably because they watch a lot of Netflix. And number 10, and the one that you're
07:39watching this from, YouTube. You can literally start an empire with a good YouTube channel, and
07:43everyone today should at least try it once. In 2025, there's two powerful formats, shorts and long-form
07:48contents. Shorts are 15 to 60 second vertical videos that are easy to create and have massive reach
07:54potential. They're perfect for showcasing tools, quick tips, or product reviews. Long-form content,
07:58on the other hand, builds deeper trust and stronger income. These are about 5 to 10 minutes long,
08:02and these explain how to do something like how to build an AI tool without coding, or top tools I
08:07use to run my online business. You can monetize your channel through AdSense, affiliate links,
08:11brand sponsorships, or even by selling your own digital product. It is honestly the best method out
08:15of this entire list. I would say this is the best way to make money online. I do have an affiliate
08:20marketing course that I'll show you how I make scripts and what gear I use. If you do want to
08:25watch that video, I'll put it in the description below. But honestly, YouTube is life-changing.
08:29All it takes is one viral video, and you can literally start an entire career. And if you're
08:33still bored at home and you want to hang out, here are three honorable mentions.
08:37Try Upwork.com. This is a freelancing platform where you can find clients for writing, editing,
08:41design, or consulting. Sell Canva templates. Create social media resumes, plan our templates,
08:46and sell them on creative markets or Etsy. And lastly, sell digital tattoos. Huh. Use Midjourney
08:52or Dolly to design tattoo ideas and sell them as custom art on Gumroad or Etsy. You can also sell
08:57website templates. I myself sell website templates, and I make an average of about $10,000 a month
09:02selling elementary templates. But I got to split about 50% of that with my designers, so I take
09:06home five grand. Not bad. So that's 10 legitimate creative ways on how to make money online. Now,
09:11don't try to master everything at once, right? Just pick one that, you know, interests you. Just stick
09:15with one. Try to master it and just go from there. It won't matter. You're a joke. Whatever, lady.
09:21Anyways, if you found this video helpful, make sure to give me a big thumbs up and let me know
09:24in the comments if you have any other methods on how to make money online. My name is Daryl Wilson,
09:29and I will see all of you party people in the next video. Take care.
