Most online income fits three buckets: services (you do the work), products (digital or physical), and audience monetization (ads/affiliates). Start with the one that gets you paid earliest—usually a service based on skills you already have.
Then add a product that reduces your hours: a template, mini‑course, or preset that solves the same problems your clients have. Finally, publish weekly and recommend tools you actually use; affiliates become your evergreen layer.
Pick one channel to master (blog, YouTube, TikTok). Post weekly for 90 days, track conversions, and double down on the content that leads to inquiries or sales.
