41 Easy Ways To Make Money Quickly In 2022

If there is something 2020 taught us then it is the value of making money from home.

I mean, thousands of people lost their jobs, not to mention those rendered homeless because they couldn’t afford to pay mortgage or rent.

See, making money online is no longer something you can consider. It is high time you recognized that it is the only guaranteed way for this generation.

For this reason, I have put together a list of easy ways to make money quickly in 2022.

Are you ready?

1. Blogging

Blogging is the process of posting articles on a platform regularly.

It is the #1 way most people swear by as the best way to make money online without breaking a sweat.

To start blogging, you need a niche. This is the area you will focus your writing efforts.

Why?

Yes, you can start blogging about almost everything under the sun, but if you need to make money quickly in 2022, staying focused is the key.

Once you have the topic/niche, the next step is picking the best platform. You can use social media platforms like LinkedIn to write, but there is nothing better than having your own website.

With a website, you can publish articles regularly, thus building an engaged audience, which turns out to be the vital ingredient to making money fast.

After building an audience, you have done almost 70% of the work. The next steps include finding ways to monetize it. Lucky for you, there are a ton of ways you can do that.

In fact, most of these other easy ways to make money quickly in 2022 can be implemented on a website. So keep reading to know which ones.

2. Start affiliate website

Affiliate marketing is the process where you get paid in commissions for promoting someone else’s product.

Here, you first sign up with the affiliate program to get a unique affiliate link. This link is the only thing that can attribute to sales you send.

As such, you need to share the link all over to make money quickly.

This is where a website comes in.

See, there are a ton of affiliate programs targeting specific products. All you have to do is sign up for the one you would wish to promote, create a site, and start promoting the link.

How?

Simple!

With the website, you can start blogging about the product or service you are promoting. And then insert your affiliate link within the articles.

This way, anyone reading the articles and get interested, they are more likely to use your link.

For example;

You can sign up for the Amazon affiliate program, and create a site to promote only electronics. In there, you will be writing only about electronics and nothing else.

This is what people call niche websites!

3. Resell web hosting

Having talked about blogging and affiliate sites, you realize that they all need somewhere to live, right?

With web hosting services, you can easily launch a website within minutes and start making money quickly.

And with the growth of websites, you can easily cash in on offering web hosting services.

Truth is, you will need a lot of resources to start a fully functional web hosting company. But there is an easier way around this; reselling.

Here, instead of starting everything from scratch, you instead partner with an existing hosting company to resell their services.

What’s more attractive about this is that most of the web hosting reseller programs come with everything you need (automated order processes and tools).

Also, you are given a white label right, which means you can use your brand name to market the services, while the parent company fulfills the orders.

Who is this for?

Reselling web hosting can be your first brick on your quest to build a company in the future. It is your chance to build trust and test waters at the same time.

4. Creating courses

Another thing 2020 taught us is the power of the internet. We couldn’t go out and do normal stuff, thanks to the pandemic that lead to a lockdown.

Heck, some of us couldn’t even attend classes.

But then Zoom came to our rescue.

You could now attend classes and meetings right in your living room.

With this came the importance of learning online. Gives you control of your time and you can accomplish a lot within a short period of time.

If you are looking for easy ways to make money quickly in 2022, creating and selling courses is your best bet.

All you have to do is figure out what people are struggling with, create a course tackling the problem, and sell it to them.

The best place to start is by looking at what people already ask you to help with. If they are asking for your input, you must have some expertise and offer something no one else.

If so, why not make money doing it?

Once you have the course, you can use your website to promote it or join marketplaces like Skillshare and Udemy.

5. Flipping websites

Flipping websites is the art of creating a website and selling them for a profit.

The idea is to acquire a brand new website, add value by making it generate income, and then find a buyer.

Alternatively, you can buy an existing site, revamp it with content and design techniques. And when it starts generating income, you sell it at a profit.

Who can do this?

Anyone actually can do a website flipping business.

All you need is an eye for undervalued websites. Once you have them, you need a plan to revive them to their true value, and then find a buyer.

Also, it needs someone who is patient enough. Flipping websites isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme.

Transforming a website into an income generator may take you years, but in the end, it will be worth it.

How do I know?

Go to places like Flippa.com or Empire Builders. You will see websites being sold for thousands of dollars.

6.  Email marketing

Email marketing is one of the best and easy ways to make money quickly in 2022.

Here, your job is to build an email list of an audience interested in a topic.

Once you have the list, you can start promoting offers to them (your own or affiliate products) and make money quickly.

Alternatively, you can partner with brands to sponsor your newsletters.

For example;

You can build an email list of first-time mothers.

And then approach brands that could be interested in reaching them.

7.  Buy and sell domains

Have you heard?

Voice.com domain was sold for over $30 million back in 2019!

Yes, cool millions of dollars for a mere domain name.

Before and after that, thousands of domains have been sold, bringing in millions of dollars to their owners.

Good thing is, you can do the same. It is easy to get started and scale.

Just like flipping websites, your task is identifying undervalued domains. Acquire it and resell it when its demand rises.

8. Sell stock photos and footage

If you have photos collecting dust on your hard drives, you can offer them up for sale on stock photos websites and earn hundreds of dollars fast in 2022.

The secret is to identify what type of images are flying off the shelves on these sites. And then go ahead and take the same type of images yourself.

Once you have the images, you can join several sites. They do not offer the same deals, so find the one giving you the best value for your photography skills.

The same formula applies to stock footage. With the rise of video content consumption, there is an increasing demand for stock footage by agencies and individuals.

Better part?

You don’t need professional equipment to make money using these methods. You can take photos using your phone and still make money.

9.  Investing in crypto

You must have heard about Bitcoin.

It is one of the most underrated digital coins, well, up until recently when its price skyrocketed to Ksh. 4,117,774.50 at the time of writing this guide, down from a couple of bucks back in the day.

If you had invested in it when it was just 1 dollar in 2011, you’d be a millionaire now.

As they say, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now!

If you wish to cash in on not only Bitcoin but hundreds of other crypto coins, this is your chance.

Luckily, you don’t need thousands of dollars to get started, with just $10, you can start trading on Olymp Trade.

YouTube content is growing faster than ever.

But before you reach there, the goal should be producing valuable and entertaining content.

11. Virtual assistant

If you are good at social media management and content creation, you can approach someone to help them ease the workload.

12. Testing applications and websites

Before launching websites and applications, their creators need to gauge whether they actually do what is supposed to.

To help with that, they enlist the help of independent users around the globe to review their applications.

You can do the same. All you need is a good internet connection and a phone (a laptop works better).

Armed with these, head over to testing sites UserTesting and sign up.
