Isabella’s Success Story

I started this journey completely on the side and I have a huge passion for documenting my journey and inspiring others to do the same.

We are entering a new era, and the way people are making money online is changing fast. If I lost everything today, no followers, no audience, no knowledge, no income, these business models are exactly what I would do to start over right now. And the best part is you can copy this and do it, too.

Every single business model covered here will have a free course linked to it that you could follow further. People have started these business models and are getting great results.

Business Models to Avoid

Why Some Models Fail

Here are some business models that are not recommended. These are super popular online, but they’re either too oversaturated, too complex, or too risky for anyone just getting started. They won’t work unless you’ve already built the skills, networks, or have a large investment to spend up front. The five business models below are the ones that are recommended. You can start these from your phone with $0 from anywhere in the world, even if you’ve never made money online before. These are the five business models built on to achieve the highest earning businesses. Every single one of these can hit 10K a month if you follow the right steps.

Recommended Online Business Models

1. Digital Products

Most people miss the one thing that makes all these businesses successful, which is covered at the end. The first online business model on this list is digital products. Digital products are great because it only really takes a couple hours to put one together. And that digital product can then be sold unlimited amounts of times over the next 5 to 10 years. With digital products, you’re not just creating a digital product, but you’re actually creating a digital asset that can generate passive income. With the correct funnels and marketing strategies in place, you have the power to scale these to making six figures in less than a year.

Creating Digital Assets

There are so many different types of digital products you can sell. Ebooks, PDF guides, printable templates, planners, recipes, courses, tutorial guides, consulting, games, and so much more. Not to mention, you can create digital products in minutes using AI systems like Trend Assist AI and Canva. You can start selling digital products with zero to low investment. You can make money fast with them. And you could scale them to making millions. You own this 100%. And it’s also very beginner friendly.

2. Niche Online Stores

People that are brand new to online business have really found a lot of success in starting these. You source products online at a discounted price and resell the products at a higher price to make a profit. But there’s no need to spend any money or buy any inventory to actually do this with this business model and this fulfillment type. There are many tools out here that can help find these products to sell, have the supplier ship those products directly to the buyer so that you keep the profits and all you have to do is set up an online store to actually host these products in. So, you are really just the middleman in all of this and you’re thinking smarter and not harder. Not to mention that there are AI tools out here right now that can build your store for you 100% free.

Thinking Smarter Not Harder

There is an AI store builder linked in the description that is always recommended. It even comes packed with winning products so you can start selling right away. For niche online stores, the startup cost is literally $0 to low investment. You could get to your first dollar very fast. It’s completely scalable. There are people that have grown their e-commerce business like this, branded it really well, and then sold it for millions of dollars. And of course, it’s beginner friendly as well.

3. YouTube Automation

If you have some type of knowledge, if you have something that you enjoy doing, you should have a YouTube channel. A channel can be started showing your face or completely faceless, which is what a lot of people have been doing this past year and growing their channels. There are people out here right now making thousands of dollars every single month without even showing their face. Making simple videos about different topics, motivational videos, educational videos, travel, technology, just to name a few. And most of these are just videos with random stock footage clips put together with a voice over. This faceless channel, Top Five, literally makes half a million dollars every single year.

Faceless Content for Passive Income

This channel, Torpia, is making around $12,000 every single month. So many faceless YouTube channels are doing the same exact thing. The first YouTube channel that was scaled to over 1 million subscribers was started completely faceless. A YouTube channel can literally be started with zero dollars. Time to making the first money with YouTube takes a little bit longer because monetization is required, but once that threshold is reached, it becomes passive income every single day. It’s very scalable. A YouTube channel can scale to make millions of dollars. You own your YouTube channel 100%. And of course, it’s very beginner friendly.

4. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a way to make money online just by recommending a product from somebody else’s offer. This is a business model that can be taken advantage of and turned into a business without actually having a product of your own. Affiliate marketing is a great extension off of one of these other online business ideas.

A Business Inside a Business

If you start digital products, you could still have an affiliate marketing offer. If you start on YouTube, you can do affiliate marketing on YouTube. So, it’s almost like a business model inside a business model that you’re already going to start. You can also start this with $0. You can make money very fast with this. And you can also scale this really big. The only disadvantage is you don’t own that affiliate marketing offer because offers can change, but it’s also very beginner friendly. And that’s why this business model works well under another business model that you do own.

The Top Skill to Master

5. Niche Content Creation

This is the top skill that is only going to get more and more important to entrepreneurship over the next 10 years. Spending some time learning this one skill completely on the side is going to guarantee success for all of these other online business models. And that one skill is learning content creation and starting niche accounts. This can be done completely faceless or with a face showing. By learning content creation and starting niche accounts, you can literally start with $0, monetize life knowledge or whatever you’re doing, and get paid to exist.

Monetizing Your Life and Knowledge

Pick a topic that you love like cooking. Start a social media account for a pet. Start an Instagram, TikTok, Facebook page, YouTube channel. There are so many ways to monetize this. Not only will money come from external monetization avenues, which are the business models covered here, but as that grows, there is also money coming from internal monetization from all these other income streams internally from these platforms. Literally, getting paid just to grow a business while learning a skill all at the same time. Not only that, but as these platforms are growing, they can only continue to be leveraged for more opportunities.

Social Media as a Secret Weapon

As this world is becoming more and more digital, sustainable income streams are being built that are literally becoming passive. Revenue sources are being diversified. And all businesses will flourish all at the same time. Social media is a secret weapon.
