How to Make Money Online in India

21 Ways to Earn Money Online Without Investment

I can tell you the exact methods that I used to earn money online using my laptop and internet connection. 

You can make money online:

  • If you have a passion to learn a new skill (like content writing, SEO, designing, video editing)
  • You can work consistently on your side business even if you don’t earn anything in the initial days.

11 Fast Ways to Earn Money Online

1. Become a Freelancer

If you are a good programmer, designer or marketer then you can find a lot of paid online jobs in India. You just need to be patient and willing to learn more. Freelancing is the best way to earn money online without any investment if you have the required skills.

You need to have two skills to become a good freelancer. One is your core skill, and the second skill is marketing. If you are not a good marketer, then seek help from an experienced marketer to make your profile. You have to have excellent communication skills to get clients.

2. Become a Stock Trader

You don’t need any money to start a freelance work but you would need a little money to start your career as a stock trader.

You can earn money online by doing stock trading if you know how to pick the right stock. You need a demat & trading account to start trading.

I must make you aware that you may lose money in stock trading so better to start with less money and invest more time in learning the basics of stock trading.

You can learn how to earn Rs. 1000 daily from intraday trading. You can start trading after learning the basics of stock trading.

Discount brokers are best for intraday trading as they charge fix brokerage up to Rs 20/trade irrespective of trade volume.

#3. Become a Consultant

You can sell your advice and knowledge to many people. You don’t have to be a super expert in one domain to become a consultant or teacher, you just have to be better than your student or client.

Anyone with a core competitive skill can become a consultant and find clients online. For example, if you are a legal or finance professional, then you can make your website, and start attracting clients online.

4. Earn Online Money from YouTube

You might not know that people are making millions from youtube. Again, not an easy option, but very much doable for anyone who can record & upload videos on a particular topic.

Two kinds of people can make successful YouTube channels, one who make funny & entertaining videos, second who can make highly helpful videos for a niche audience (like students, mothers, housewives, tech geeks).

5. Make Money from Social Media

There is no limit on earning money from Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The social media fan base is an asset for such people, most of them are in the entertainment domain. People related to fashion and entertainment domain can monetise their Instagram page.

6. Become Domain Flipper

You can buy brandable domains and sell at a higher price at domain marketplaces.

I own more than 50 domains at this time. I keep on investing in the domains and sold one domain at the valuation of $15,000 (equivalent to Rs. 10 lakh). When you start working on your online business then you will also learn how to make money from the domain selling.

7. Income from Content Writing

You can earn money easily if you know how to write good content. You can learn the art of copywriting to make a decent income online.

Good content writers are high in demand who are earning upto $200 per article.

8. Start A Blog

Your blog can be your online business, it will take some time to build your website traffic and earn money. But once you start earning money from blog, then your blog generate money even when you are sleeping.

You can create Ads using simple Google Adsense and earn money with google.

9. Learn Affiliate Marketing

Starting affiliate marketing is similar to running a retail shop. You signup with retailers like Amazon and Flipkart, promote your favourite products on your website and social media to make decent money.

I am discussing affiliate marketing as a separate option because it can fit with any kind of online business. Some people don’t even have a website but make money through affiliate marketing.

10. Sell Softwares Online

That is the most beautiful and profitable way of running an online business. You can build small products and sell them on subscription model (Software as a Service).

You can also launch paid mobile apps for Android and Apple. You can make one million dollars if your $10 app is downloaded by 100,000 people.

11. Sell Products Through Shopify

You must be having some products in mind to sell on an online store – it could be electronics, designer jewellery or handkerchiefs.

You can easily launch your online store using shopify and sell your products worldwide.

Time for Action

I know this is just the introduction of how you can earn money online. Let me know in the comments which one is your preferred way so that I can provide you more relevant information.

You can also pick one idea from my list of 100 online business ideas with zero investment. I have covered all industries like Finance, Tech, Travel, Fashion, Shopping, Education, Food, Jobs, Politics, Bollywood.

  4. Hi Pardeep,

    Nice to see your info, shared here at Cashoverflow, actually my story is bit similar, I also had lost my job, and not very much interested in going to office & same daily, as the politics level is very high on every entity.

    So, just wanted to earn money online, that’s why searched on Google, & got you here.

    Frankly speaking, I love writing & I think I am good in it. Also want to mention that my Hindi writing is very good in comparison to English. That’s the reason I am really interested in Writing Articles, Blogs and similar kind of jobs. I have a good knowledge in Indian Politics, travel, technology, social issues, & much mores. I can express all of them in a good manner.

    regards,
    Rahul

  11. I was looking for ways to make money from SEO or Digital marketing. Also searching for some business ideas that can be done online or through a website like some type of import & export. I am also interested to sell some products through portals like amazon, flipkart etc.

    I am expecting no more but approx INR 50k per month income in 3-4 months.
    I just want to know what is the best way to start and which channels to choose.

    Reply

    • Don’t try to make money from SEO or Digital Marketing until you get a good experience (Expert level). Start your own blog to experiment with marketing.

      I am not sure how to make 50K in 3-4 months until you become expert in something.

      The best way to start is learning one skill, doing experiments, analyzing results and improve.

    • Thats a very unfortunate situation.

      I suggest people to have 1 year of expenses in savings so that you can find alternate source of income within that time frame.

    I have been blogging for past few months and number of visitors is very less. Would you please tell how can I promote my posts and get more visitors? ( I blog to support my app, which has just reached 1000 downloads in 4 months. I think despite the existence of millions of potential users becoming visible to them is pretty tough task.)

    You must have to follow these important steps.

    1. You have to choose a profitable niche from which you can earn by promoting affiliate products.
    2. Build a blog on that niche and provide helpful content to others.
    3. Promote your content among potential readers
    4. Drive traffic to your site and make money through it.

    These are the basic steps you need to take to earn through blogging.

    • Hi Pratip,

      I am glad to know that you enjoy reading my articles.

      I checked your blog, you are a good writer but you need to focus on one niche. You have to write a lot of stuff keeping in mind one person, only one person for whom you are writing and helping. If you can truly help one person out of your 100 visitors then that will become your niche.

      Let me know if that sounds helpful?

  48. Hello,

    About making money through twitter and Facebook(pages which you have shared), what do you think how much money are they making ? Can you share few more success stories from India who are making money from social media?

    Thank you.

    Reply

    • They do not disclose how much money they are making. But people are ready to pay as much as 20,000 rupees for just tweet or facebook post.

      I shared the names of pages just to show the potential of social media. It’s up to the admin if they want to monetize their fan base or not.

      Probably, I will share more in my future articles. Stay tuned.

  50. Pradeep,

    I wish the SEO is as simple as that. It’s not and freaking complicated with the lot of things running behind the scenes.

    If a person needs to success faster then he/she must have a mentor to get started at faster phase. Even though we can get the same information for free online and that too following the right information at right time is key 🙂

    I can see your domain name idea came from stack overflow. Since your’e a geek and have a finance background (guessing). Cool name for sure!

    Good Luck with the blog, Pradeep.
    Cheers
    Suresh

    • Hi Suresh,

      I am 100% agree with you that people need mentors to succeed and SEO is not a simple game.

      The issue is that people don’t want to pay to mentors or buy structured courses while free content is awesome but lacks a structured approach.

      ..Yes, idea is inspired by cashflow (that is backbone of finance) and stackoverflow 🙂

      • Pradeep,

        People, does and will pay when they come across a trustworthy or even a right course. It is an investment, not an expenditure right?

        Trust me they rock only when you find the right course.

        Guessed it, Cool domain name.

        Have a great week ahead, Pradeep.

        Cheers
        Suresh

        • Hey Suresh,

          I guess you are talking about creating online courses for making money, right? It is an investment and you are going to learn a lot throughout the journey of writing a course.

          Thanks for your appreciation and wishes 🙂
