7 Online Business Ideas Without Investment That You Can Start Today Posted: 22 Mar 2020 08:58 AM PDT There are a lot of ads and Facebook groups that invite you to earn quick money while working online. Most of it seems unrealistic or looks like a scam. Then you begin to question yourself: is there really no easy way to make money online? And surely in these times of growing technology, there is. One of the effective yet simple examples is a print on demand Shopify platform like Printify.com that lets you create a business within one day and start selling things like t-shirts. In this article, we will share some more examples of online business ideas without investment that can be launched in one day. And who knows - maybe reading this article might inspire you to start your own business and eventually - a successful company? 1. Become an Influencer If you are a people's person, like to socialize, and have interesting things to show off from your daily routine - that's a perfect base to start an influencer business. That is what most people are looking for on social media - interesting content, tips, and inspiration. To start, you'll need to choose a social media platform that will be your main one - it could be YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or any other platform. The second important step is to decide what type of content you want to create and what kind of products/services you would like to promote in the future. 2. Start a Blog Even though all the social media popularity and influencers seem to conquer the media, bloggers are still here - social media is just another channel for these people to promote themselves and their businesses. If you would take a closer look, a lot of popular social media profiles and Facebook pages are blogs, linking to an external website. Another great thing about blogs is that they are easy to create even if you have zero knowledge about programming. Simply choose a platform you want to use, select a theme and start creating your content. On the other hand, if you wish to create a more customized blog, you could use some tips on how to create a professional blog website design on your own. 3. Become a Vlogger This idea might seem a little bit similar to the previous one. But actually, the two of those are very different. Both ways are promising and beneficial if you are planning to upload your content consistently, but in general, you have to choose what interests you more - writing or video making? It's okay if you never made a professional video before because the internet is full of tutorials on how to start your own video blog and make your video more popular. In the matter of fact, if you have some favorite vloggers, you probably know, that they started completely from scratch. So keep your content interesting, consistent, always try to learn more about it, and eventually, you can start working with large companies that want to promote themselves. 4. Become a Web Designer This business idea is great if you already have some skills of working with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign or any other graphic software because it takes some time to learn and improve your skills. To find your first clients, there are a few things you could do. Firstly, create a portfolio and promote yourself online. Secondly, don't forget to participate in a logo contest that you can find on the internet. It is a great chance to show off your skills if you do not have a big portfolio. Also, this way a client might like your work so much that they will start to work with you permanently. Another great idea is to upload some of your work to various graphic stocks like Freepik. Here people can download your file for free but if they want to use it for commercial purposes, they will have to pay. 5. Sell Your Photography Online As a photographer, you can start making some additional money from photography while working online. You can upload your photos to online photo stocks where people can downloading the photo after they pay for it. For this you don't have to be a professional photographer but have it mind, that your photography should be practical - think of it as something designers would use for websites, commercials and so on. Focus on your target audience. If you are more into artistic photography, you can even sell prints and posters online. 6. Start Your Own Accounting Business If you are an accountant but you have already had enough of working for a company and became tired of the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. work experience, maybe it's time to become the boss. To get started you just need to choose and buy a domain that would represent your business and services well, secondly - choose a platform for your website. WordPress is pretty popular and easy to use. Make sure all the contact information on your website is easy to find and start promoting yourself, especially on Google. 7. Star SEO Consulting These days SEO is a subject that most businesses and companies care about. Especially the ones who run an online business. Unfortunately, very often people believe that it is easy to do on your own without any knowledge. So if you are familiar with all the secrets of Google Adwords, Google Analytics, and know how to get a specific website on top of the list on Google search - then your knowledge is golden and all you need is a website or a Facebook page to start.

Why You Should Buy Bitcoins From P2P Marketplaces? Posted: 01 Jan 2019 02:03 AM PST Back when bitcoin was first invented, the peer-to-peer aspect of it was the immediate intention of Satoshi Nakamoto. This is complimented by its decentralized nature. This means that we were always intended to trade with one another using a currency that is easily accessible by the public. Although the peer-to-peer aspect of it was in the intention of Mr. Nakamoto, not a lot of people understood what it was and how it worked…. Or even what it meant. It because the duty of those familiar to spread the good news of the coin. Since its creation, we have now seen many bitcoin exchanges pop up. Bigger companies started taking over with their own system to help people buy/sell bitcoin. These bigger companies established and started the "traditional" way of trading. In this article, I'm going to be explaining the difference between a traditional exchange and a peer-to-peer marketplace. I'll also explain why it's better to buy bitcoins on a peer-to-peer marketplace. The many differences between a traditional exchange and a peer-to-peer marketplace Although traditional bitcoin exchanges have been around longer, there seems to be a rise in popularity when it comes to the use of peer-to-peer marketplaces. In essence, peer-to-peer marketplaces and traditional bitcoin exchanges serve the same purpose: they give the ordinary man a means of buying/selling bitcoin. Although they serve the same purpose, the trading experience is vastly different from one another. Traditional bitcoin exchanges As said earlier, traditional bitcoin exchanges have been around longer. This means that these types of exchanges are more well known and more used in the community. And for a long time, trades from these exchanges were the norm of bitcoin trading. On traditional bitcoin exchanges, buyers and sellers are matched via order books. Once a buyer and seller are matched, a third party would then join the trade and help the buyer and seller complete the trade. This third party acts as some sort of a middleman to make trading as smooth as possible. This means that buyers and sellers rarely interact with one another and don't know exactly who they're trading with. This can both be a pro and a con as the bad side to it is some things may get lost in translation with the middleman. On the other hand, no direct interactions between the buyer and the seller could mean more privacy for some people. Peer-to-peer marketplaces As said earlier, these are the lesser used type of platform but it has also been seeing a rise in popularity. The rise in popularity can be seen in growing peer-to-peer platforms such as Paxful or Localbitcoins. On these platforms, buyers are matched with sellers and they have the ultimate freedom how they would want to finish their trade. Unlike traditional bitcoin exchanges, peer-to-peer marketplaces have no middleman, the trade partner need to work together to reach an agreement and finish their trade. Why using a peer-to-peer marketplace is better? Now that you know what both exchanges are and have an idea of what kind of trading experience they bring, here are some reasons to lean towards using a peer-to-peer marketplace: Cost efficiency Since traditional bitcoin exchanges have a middleman that helps complete the trade for you, higher fees will be implemented. This technically means that you'll be receiving less bitcoin on every trade that you complete. Though peer-to-peer marketplaces also have added fees, usually for escrow services, but they're not as high as a traditional bitcoin exchange. Escrow services are a security measure that secure the safety of the trade partners' funds. The platform also runs little to no interference in the trading process of a peer-to-peer marketplace. Buyers and sellers or the trade partners are sole responsible on how would they want their trade to go down. External factors There have been some examples in the past in which regulatory restrictions have intervened with traditional exchanges. One example that comes to mind is when all withdrawals were frozen for a month in China. This is because The People's Bank of China intervened and it affected two of the largest exchanges in the country. As a user, a halt in your possible income is NOT something you'd want, especially if everything is on hold for a whole month. On peer-to-peer marketplaces, trades are done interpersonally which means users are not usually affected by these restrictions. A good security blanket As said earlier, escrow services are a security measure that can help prevent your account from getting scammed. Security measures on peer-to-peer platforms usually come in the form of escrow. Escrow protects both buyers and sellers. During a trade, a third party would hold all the coins promised in the trade until all requirements are submitted and verified. Once the requirements have been submitted by the buyer and verified by the seller, that's the only time the coins will be released. Both parties come out happy. Personality Peer-to-peer marketplaces add a personalized touch to the trading experience. Some platforms will have a live chat feature where you can either talk to moderators about any questions you may have or to your trade partner, some will have a reputation system where users can leave comments and recommendations for their trade partners after each trade. Having a live chat feature with your trade partner allows for a lot of things. One, you can clarify requirements needed if you're a buyer. If you have any questions about what the seller may need, the live chat feature can help immensely. This is especially useful for people who are just starting out in the crypto trading world. Two, it can allow the vendor to verify requirements easier. As a vendor, you want to make sure that all the buyer's payments are legit. A live chat feature with your trade partner can help that cause. A wide array of payment methods Because of the nature of trading, peer-to-peer marketplaces have a wide array of payment methods. This allows more efficient trades as there are more ways to buy or sell bitcoin. Having a wide array of payment methods allows for better trades as bitcoin becomes more accessible to an average person. This is extremely useful for countries that have a high underbanked percentage in their population. One popular payment method of peer-to-peer marketplaces is gift cards. Gift cards are popular because they are extremely easy to find, extremely easy to trade and they are also easy to spend. Selling your extra bitcoin for gift cards are also a viable option as gift cards on peer-to-peer marketplaces usually come at a discounted price. Users can also suggest new payment methods if they can't find one. This allows peer-to-peer platforms to grow even more as more payment options will be available. More and more payment methods will come into fruition if buyers and sellers can agree to use them in trades. Soon enough, there will less to no payment methods missing from every peer-to-peer marketplace. Power over your product As a seller, there are a ton of preferences you can set to make the most out of your trading experience. The first major thing you can do is to set your own profit percentage. This controls how much bitcoin buyers get on the dollar. In essence, you control how much money you make off of each trade. As a seller, you can also filter who you trade with. Although it's possible to run into scammers on peer-to-peer marketplaces, there are still ways to filter them out. Each platform has their own way of spotting red flags but ultimately, it's up to YOU who you trade with. Just make sure to do extra research on your platform so you can figure out these red flags at once. As a buyer, you have the chance to find great deals from sellers. Look for offers that give more bitcoin on the dollar using any payment method you prefer. If you look hard enough, you'll be able to find great deals. As both buyer and seller, you can form and cultivate business relationships that can benefit you for a lifetime. If you have a good trading experience with someone, take note of that person's username and look for him/her again once you're looking to buy/sell again. It also works the other way. If you have a bad trading experience with someone, take note of that person's username and remember to never do business with that person again. Clarity Let's go back to that live chat feature again for a second. It may not seem like it's a big deal, but a live chat feature on a platform can help make trading efficient and easy. With a live trade chat, you can ask clarifications if you have an questions about the seller's requirements, As a seller, you can ask the buyer for clarifications regarding their payment. Overall, having the option to actually talk to your trade partner can not only save you lots of time, but also a significant amount of money. Peer-to-peer: not just about the income A lot of peer-to-peer platforms' pros come from making a better individual profit, but that's not all it can do. There have been campaigns before that show that there is a lot of good that can be done with the power of peer-to-peer finance. An example of this is the #BuiltWithBitcoin campaign by ZamZam Water and Paxful. This campaign shows us that peer-to-peer finance isn't playing around. Looking back at the advantages and disadvantages of bitcoin, the peer-to-peer aspect of it all seems to fit more on the advantage side rather than the disadvantage side. Peer-to-peer finance isn't just here for the money. It's a good thing and it's here to stay, and we should be happy about that. Peer-to-peer finance gives us even more control over our own money by allowing us to choose the way WE want to spend it. I wish you nothing but the best on your trading adventure and I hope that you are now aware of all the good (both individual and common good) that peer-to-peer finance can bring to this world.

Have an Online Presence For Your Business Posted: 18 Mar 2020 12:47 PM PDT The world is now more virtual than people know it. Therefore, any business that truly wants to grow, expand its market and beat the competition must take eCommerce seriously. One advantage is that there are options for any type of business, whether start-up or large corporation. The entry requirements into eCommerce are also low, meaning that one can start a store right in the backyard of his or her home. Getting Started with Online Business A new entrepreneur may be overwhelmed by the number of options that are available for any type of business. It is essential that you come up with a strategy for determining where to get started and where to have a digital presence. In all cases, all digital roads should lead to your website. Wherever prospects see your brand, they should follow through to your site. When keeping that in mind, ensure that your site attracts and retains the interest of your clients. Arrange pages so neatly that users will get specific information with tremendous ease. Besides, ensure that the page ranks well in the search results. Do an on-page SEO so that you also benefit from traffic that comes from organic search results. Selecting Online Marketplaces There are several e-commerce sites, which you can use to start your business in no time. They include Facebook Marketplace, Shopify Stores, Amazon, eBay, local auction sites and Google Marketplace, among others. The choice of your online marketplace should be informed by your product and the market that you are targeting. It is important that you be where your clients' hangout. This means that you can have a presence in various platforms where you can find customers. However, avoid spreading yourself too thinly as this strategy will take a toll on the quality of the products and services you offer due to divided attention. Determine Your Marketing Strategy Just like a mortar and brick store, you need to come up with ways of reaching potential clients. Fortunately, there are several free and paid methods out there that you can blend to reach your market. Some of the free methods that you can use include content marketing. You should have a blog where you share topics related to the products you sell. You can post guest articles on relevant blog sites. Social media is also a powerful tool to connect with your market. However, choose the social media sites where you have the target audience. Besides, pick a few sites so that you can manage them effectively. You may also consider paid advertising. It helps you get to the pages where your target audience is looking. Paid adverts pay a greater role before SEO helps your page to appear on the first page of the search results. You can have pad adverts on the search engine or social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. In all advertising campaigns, take time to review your gains so that you may take tone on the areas to improve before the next campaign.

Wix vs. WordPress – Choosing the Right Platform Posted: 16 Mar 2020 12:44 PM PDT When building a website, it comes the point where you need to choose the platform to use. Although there are several website building platforms, in most cases, the choice boils down to either Wix or WordPress. The former is the younger of the two, although an in-depth review reveals that it's just as good as the established WordPress, especially in recent years. This makes it even harder for businesses and individuals to choose one that fits their needs. In this guide, we shall weigh the features as well as the pros & cons of each to help you pick the best solution. OVERVIEW WordPress WordPress is an open-source platform that was initially developed for blogging. Over the years, it has grown to become a powerful CMS platform that lets you create a website in the way you want it. Note that when we mention WordPress, we are making reference to WordPress.org. Wix Wix is an all-in-one building platform that lets you build and design websites with ease. As it's a fully-hosted platform, users don't need a hosting provider. Features Ease of use Simplicity is Wix's major selling point. It does away with the technicalities to present an easy to use platform for even novices. All you need to do is create an account on its website. You can use the Wix Editor or Artificial Digital Intelligence (ADI). For WordPress, users have to jump through hoops like registering a domain name and purchasing hosting before getting started. Control over the website's functionality WordPress completely outdoes Wix here. The platform provides tons of customization options with a rich library of over 55,000 plug-ins. As for Wix, users can add apps from the Wix App market to extend functionalities, especially when it comes to e-Commerce. The app market has just over 300 apps, which is quite limited compared to WordPress. Maintenance Wix enclosed platform means that users don't need to work hard when it comes to maintenance. With WordPress, users have the responsibility of handling the maintenance and security of their website. Fortunately, alternative options are always available at a cost. One can sign up for managed hosting or hire a maintenance service. Cost Pricing is set in the form of monthly subscriptions for Wix. The amount you pay is fixed, but it depends on the plan you are subscribed to. Things are a little bit knotty with WordPress. You are charged a hosting fee and a domain name registration/renewal fee. There is no clear cut answer on which of the two platforms is cheaper. We'll leave the math to you since only you know which plan suits you. Support Having been around for a while, WordPress has a long-standing and spirited support forum. Further, the platform provides tutorials to guide new users. Wix is however just as good. It has a comprehensive knowledge base with articles highlighting solutions to different problems. Conclusion For first-timers who do not want to deal with code, Wix is the ideal choice. The same goes for individuals and businesses looking to build an e-commerce website. Those with prior experience, however, may find WordPress a better solution as will businesses and individuals that need a blogging website.
