Amazon Associates
Let's talk about Amazon, again! There are 12 million products sold by Amazon, and if you add the FBA items, then it is well over 350 million products. Amazon offers a program called Amazon associates which is an affiliate marketing program. Amazon associates is nothing more than a referral program that pays YOU a commission for referring people to their website. When you send a customer to a specific product on Amazon via your link, then you get a percentage of the sale of whatever the customer purchases over the next 24 hours. You can learn more about this on https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/
Free Amazon Products!
Let's talk about Amazon! Everyone knows what it is and many of you guys even own shares of it too! Let me ask you - when you go buy products on Amazon, what do you look at first? The different options, colors, size, but most importantly - REVIEWS! If you are a seller on Amazon, you need good reviews to establish social proof. The products that have been listed on Amazon for many many days, already have (good or bad) reviews established. What about thousands of new products that are being added every single day? Well, this is where we come in and benefit from it. There are thousands of Facebook groups made by these Amazon sellers that offer to give you FREE products if you purchase and leave reviews on their Amazon listing! Here is how it works -
Go over to Facebook and search for "Amazon Product Testing" and request to join
After your request gets approved - there are products being posted every single day. Choose the product you like, and contact the seller for more information
The seller will usually ask for you to send them a screenshot of your Amazon profile (to see what type of reviews you have written on other products you've bought) and then they will give you further information.
Usually how it works is - You buy the product and once you receive it, you leave a review on their listing. Take a screenshot of your review, and send it to the seller along with your PayPal email, and receive your refund! Now, you can list that product on eBay, Etsy, Letgo, and many more apps to generate some extra cash on the side. Enjoy!

Renting out your Facebook page
Facebook is one of the biggest platforms in the world with over 1 billion daily active users. Many people use it for business purposes such as maintaining their business page or running advertisements. Others use it for personal reasons such as staying in touch with their family and friends. This method is for those of you that DO NOT run ads on your account OR have a second Facebook account. You can rent out your Facebook account to make $200-$300 every month. You might be wondering - why would people pay you to rent your account? Well, if you aren’t familiar with this – there is a giant ecosystem on Facebook that revolves around running advertisements and there are countless problems that these advertisers face. Having more than one account to run ads on helps the advertisers just in case their original account gets restricted for whatever reason. Now the first question that will come to your mind is - Is this safe? This method is 100% safe. The website where you will be renting your account even has a 1-800 number for you to call and your personal side of Facebook will NOT be affected at all. The people that will be ‘using’ your account will be using the Business portion of Facebook. When I sold goods on my online store, my ad account got restricted for having ‘too much text’ in my ad copy. I went to my friend and asked to use his Facebook account’s business portion to run ads. And that is exactly why we have services like this! Here is how it works:
Make sure you have never used your Facebook account to run advertisements. You can make sure by going to business.facebook.com and verify that it asks you to sign up. If it does not ask you to sign up, then your account is NOT eligible.
Go to Rentmyprofiles.com and click on 'Apply Instantly' and follow the process. It will ask for your Facebook password, but as I said earlier, it is completely safe.
After you complete the registration process, someone from the website will reach out to you regarding the next steps.
You are getting paid $55/week for doing absolutely nothing. You can get paid via PayPal, Venmo, or cash app. Let’s say you do use your Facebook to run ads - you can use your friends or family’s account to do this as well and split the payment with them.

Flipping Domains
Domain flipping is the practice of buying a domain name as cheaply as possible. Then, without doing anything with the domain, you’ll sell the domain to an interested party for more than you originally paid
This strategy is one of the easiest ways to make money because it requires very little capital, and once established, it requires no work at all. Here is what I did in 2013 - I bought 20 domains in this format: "Car Brand" + of + "Random city", so for example, HondaOfPhoenex.com. I held it for about 4-5 months, and one day I received an email from an interested party, which happened to be the car dealership itself. They offered me $4,000 for the domain, but with some negotiation - I was able to sell the domain for a NET profit of $6000. In fact, you will be surprised to know that the most expensive domain to be ever sold was Cars.com for $872 million. If you are able to find the right domain and sell it to the right party, you can make a significant profit when you sell the domain. In this small read, I will briefly tell you the steps that I took to sell my domains for a profit:
-
Search for a domain
Firstly, you will need to find a domain name that has the potential of being sold. You will need to find a domain that is cheap to purchase initially, and has 'intriguing' keywords. There are plenty of tools out there to help you do this - one of my favorite is godaddy.com. Some ideas to find a profitable domain are to find a domain that is short, simple, and has a hot keyword. The Oxford dictionary has about 273,000 words - now imagine putting two keywords together to come up with a hot domain. There are a lot of them out there!
-
Evaluate and Register the domain
After you find the domain that is cheap to purchase - you will need to do some research to see how much value your domain has. Some characteristics that determine the value of a domain are Keywords, Length, and Brand. After you do your research, you will need to register your domain. This step does not take a long time - everything before this is where you will need to spend some time. When you purchase a domain, it usually expires in a year, so you will be paying a registration fee for one full year.
