Hello dear steemians, please Follow me along, I will be sharing with you 5 businesses you can start from home with little or no money. Make at least $200 every month without burning out even as a beginner.

General Introduction

When a prospect tells you they can't afford your product, they are indirectly telling you, you haven't shown them the value of your product. It doesn't mean they can't afford it nor they are broke .
They actually want to know the benefit of your product and how your product relates to the problem they're facing!!

If you want to succeed in your online business, then figure out how to get your products or service in the eye of as many targeted people as possible. (NB Invest in traffic generation). This will increase your potential to closing more sales and making money for yourself. We are officially in the Digital Age, If you feel that digital skills are overrated, then you are putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Do you know that the jobs of the future are mainly digital? Thus, it is important to acquire digital skills if you are going to stay relevant in this fast paced world.

• Social Media Marketing
• Affiliate Marketing

• Information Marketing

This list is not in a logical order. And I did not try to put any above another nor underrate one in place of another. We will take them one by one follow along and make your best choice at the end of the posts.

1) Social Media Marketing (SMM)

As the name implies, a social media manager is a person who manages social media accounts for businesses, organizations, professionals etc. You see most business owners want their brands to be present on social media so that they can interact with their customers directly because almost every of their customers are using one social network or the other.

But hiring an in-house social media account manager will mean buying tool that'll enable them to work. So they are willing to outsource this to a virtual assistance who is already established in this regard to handle the role. And you don't need a certificate to fill this role.

So what is the work of a social media manager?

•To create engaging posts that represents the Brand's voice of the company business they are working for
•engage with the audience and respond to complaints promptly and swiftly

How much is a social media manager paid?
It depends on the amount of task given and the number of rows asigned. But a social media manager is paid between $200 to $2,000 monthly. just imagine you are working with three companies that pay you $200 to manage their accounts on a monthly basis. At the current exchange rate of this post $1 equals 600 CFA so you can do the math yourself.

of course you must be very good to be paid that amount but remember I said you don't need a certificate to become a social media manager. You can learn Social Media Marketing online from home and master everything you need to begin in a matter of weeks from udemy,Allison Hubspot, Cousera, shawacademy etc.

That being said, you can easily sign up on freelance platforms and start getting jobs as soon as you have learned the basics. Platforms such as feverr and Upwork are all nice places to begin and as soon as you deliver the world will spread about your expertise and more businesses will come your way. And that will definitely translate into more money for you.

Now, if this does not sound like what you want don't give up we have four more to look at, I bet one must resonate with you.

2) Affiliate Marketing

This particular one is so cool making money online can never be better than this model of affiliate marketing.
How does it work? It's simple

With affiliate marketing, you look for someone who has a great product that solves a present problem for people. Then recommend a product to people who have this problem by sending traffic to the product page. To your unique affiliate link. And as soon as they buy, your paid a commission. That is you don't have to create or invent any product or even worry about customer service. So you are just the middleman helping the buyer to find the solution to their problem rapidly. And the seller a customer to buy their product.

Commissions for affiliate products can range from 30 to 80% depending on the platform and types of products you choose to promote. Isn't that a sweet way to make money online? There are a couple of affiliate platforms such as ClickBank, jvzoo, warrioplus, and happy earnings soon coming.

you can sign up on any of these platforms and pick a hot product I can give you at least 10,000 fcfa approximately $2 in commission.
The beauty is that these are entirely digital products and once you sign up on these platforms and pick a product you want to promote, you are given a unique affiliate link and anyone who clicks your link and makes a purchase, the system will track the sale that come from you and your commission is remitted without You raising a finger.

no let's pretend you found a product that is selling for let's say 40, 000 fcfa and is paying 50% commissions to affiliate. That's 20K for every sale you generate. Now, pay attention to hit 200k monthly, you will have to divide that amount by 20. That means you will need to make 10 sales to hit your 200k monthly. Is that hard to get? Not at all, I know of so many people making millions with this business model. So you two can start. This is the same business model that Amazon used to become a 1.7 trillion dollar business. They don't own a single product on their platform yet they connect sellers with buyers and make a commission when a transaction occurs.
Airbnb is the largest real estate company in the world but they don't own any of the houses. They simply connect lodgers with house owners and make a commission on every transaction. Perhaps you might be wondering do I need to build a website like Amazon before I start affiliate marketing? The answer is not necessarily. There are many affiliate marketers I know who I'm making millions and don't have any website. Just WhatsApp and other social media platforms that we all use to gosip they take advantage of them.

Besides, you don't need to work all day. Just two to three hours of productive work everyday can put you there. The beauty is that you can travel to anywhere in the world with your affiliate marketing business. Wherever you are with your smartphone in hand and of course internet connection you are set to start making money with affiliate marketing.

I will continue with the next 3 businesses subsequently, please stay tuned and thanks for reading.
