You can find blogging sites that want freelance writers by adding“intitle: write for us”in your Google search query. For example, you can search for“intitle: write for us” ghanato know blogs in Ghana that are looking for freelance writers in Ghana.
You can earn as much asGHS 1000.00per month by writing high-quality blogs for some websites.
Affiliate Marketing
It is one of the proven methods that is helping individuals make money online. Think of it as a recommendation you are making to someone to buy/ sign up for a particular product.
When you are an affiliate marketer, you use your website or social media handle to recommend products to other people to earn a commission on every user who buys them.
You must be convincing enough when recommending the product/service.
There are several affiliate marketing networks you can do in Ghana like:
- Bluehost affiliate program:Convince people to sign up for Bluehost hosting services and gain $65 per sign-up.
- Amazon affiliate program:Sell a product on your website or social media and get a commission whenever someone buys using your link.
- Fiverr affiliate program:Earn as much as $150 in commissions whenever someone pays for service on Fiver with your link.
Affiliate marketing has no limits; you can be an affiliate partner of several companies. Build your social network and start referring others.
Ecommerce drop shipping
This is one of my favorite ways of earning money online. E-commerce drop shipping is all about selling products for someone online without having the product itself.
What you have to do is to create a profile on Jumia/ Tonaton / Jiji, etc., and consult manufacturers or distributors that you want to help them sell their products.
Anytime someone wants to buy the product from you, direct them to the product manufacturers and distributors and earn commissions. However, create products having rich search volume on these sites to get consistent sales.
Disclaimer:–I am not promoting this method to be used for a scam; anyone who wants to earn from this method should use it genuinely.
Start a Youtube channel
Starting and managing a Youtube channel is difficult, but it is worth it in the long run.
Top YouTubers in Ghana like Wode Maya, Kwadwo Sheldon, Magraheb, and Teacher kwadwo are making a lot of money from operating YouTube channels.
I don’t think I should speak much on this subject. Youtube is a high-paying network that can help you make some money online. All it takes is dedication and consistently publishing video content.
Performing Facebook Ads services for Businesses
Several businesses are running paid ads on Facebook and other partner advertising networks and are not getting value for money on those.
However, some individuals have learned the tactics of running high-performing ads on Facebook that can bring businesses more returns on Ads.
These individuals are then hired on contract to run high-performing campaigns for businesses on Facebook and earn some money in exchange.
You can learn these Ads skills by reading books and joining premium classes online to master the art.
