Hey guys there are so many ways to make money online but I dare say affiliate marketing is one of the best for beginners. Why do I say so?

I've had past experiences dabbling in some blackhatworld marketing methods. Did I make money? Heck yeah! First day I launched! I made 10 dollars. I was basically doing the Instagram method. We would buy aged instagram accounts and we would link them to a bot that follows people. Our profile pictures and images would all try to make people who view our profile think we were doing a giveaway in our link. These links were all masked free websites using wix.com. "Free Giveaway Get your Nike Air Jordan's here!!"

They were asked to fill up their details and they had to download a mobile application before they could claim their prizes. There were no prizes but for every download I got I was paid about 50 cents to a dollar. No one was cheated off their money so my conscience is clean. These were all free game apps mostly.

I had 30 accounts each following 400 people per day with my bot. I purchased all these tools for a significant sum of About 150 dollars. After making money for a few days I decided to invest more money to buy more accounts. I bought 100 more accounts so that would have been enough to earn a full time living with that. The very next day after I made the purchase that cost me 400 usd I believe, Instagram took the ban hammer and wiped all my accounts. Poof!!!! It was free money 100% passive. I was about to achieve my dreams!!

Moral of the story, don't do blackhatmarketing you never know when the loophole will be closed. I started a little late. Other pioneers had cashed in on that and made 5 figures a month.

Next ima talk about shopify Dropshipping. See those ads on Facebook trying to sell you products? A lot of them are dropshipped items from china that costs half the price or less at Retail! Others may have different experiences but generally, it's like striking a lottery. U lookup best selling items in Amazon and Aliexpress and you try and sell em. It's always a hit or miss. You test products, with Paid Advertisements in Facebook. Most of the time you will lose money. You repeat the process of losing money until you hit a winning product then you scale it up by spending more money on Ads. Then you cash in on that product for its worth. I lost a lot of money testing failing products until I hit one. Unfortunately scaling up didn't work very well. I managed to make profit but my business partner decided to test more products and all our profits was wiped.

I know there are people who spend thousands to tens of thousands of dollars a day on ads and make a serious killing in days but it was really frustrating building video ads for the products and finding products to promote while constantly losing money testing failure after failure so I stopped.

I had another Friend who knows his stuff. He is a 21year old soon to be self made online millionaire. He was the one who first introduced me to blackhatworld. He told me that he only does whitehat now and building an authority site is where it's at.

From all of this I've come to conclude that Affiliate Marketing is the best because it's startup cost is so Low! Just get a domain and pay for hosting that's it! Then u add simple links and get a payout without even having to deal with shipping and fulfillment and returns or refunds. When you build your free traffic and audience to large enough size, you can start manufacturing your own products to sell for even higher margins.

Guys this is one of the safest online business models out there. I wish u all the best!
