To choose the best way to make money online you have to look at a few crucial factors such as:

The sort of business: whether the concept is based on a product, a service, or an audience.

Effort: the amount of time, expertise, or experience you'll need to devote to the concept.

Leverage: refers to your ability to turn a good idea into a profitable one that grows in value without requiring your direct attention. A high-leverage notion isn't a one-to-one exchange of time for cash.

Startup costs: the money you'll need to get your project off the ground.

Profit potential: the amount of money you may expect to make per year from your idea.

Here are the best ideas to start your journey online and make money.

1. Dropshipping

Dropshipping is a business model in which the products you sell are not kept in stock. When a customer purchases something from your store, a third party fulfills and ships the order on your behalf. Because the startup costs are low, it’s becoming an increasingly popular way for both beginners and experts to make money online.

2. Print on demand

Print on demand enables sellers to customize white label products with their own designs and sell them only after a customer purchases them, eliminating the need to keep inventory on hand. When a customer places an order, a print-on-demand company will incorporate your design into the product, complete the order, and ship it to the customer.

3. Custom products

Making products by hand is popular among jewelry, fashion, and home decor companies. It gives you complete control over the development and quality of your products. The only disadvantages are that it can be time consuming and difficult to scale. The costs of making products by hand include the cost of materials, the cost of storing your finished products, and the cost of labor.

4. Sell on Etsy or on Amazon

Every online marketplace, from Etsy to Amazon, has its own set of benefits and drawbacks. The advantage is that you gain access to their network of shoppers — people visit these sites when they need to buy something and setting up shop allows you to meet them there.

5. Blogging

Blogging for a living has evolved beyond small businesses and side hustles. Anyone can now build an audience and make a lot of money from their blog by putting out great content. Bloggers, as opposed to getting information from a company blog, take a more personal approach that resonates with an intended audience.

6. Affiliate marketing

When someone purchases the product after clicking your link, you will be credited for the referral as well as paid a commission. The commission amount is determined by the affiliate program and the product being sold — commodity items on Amazon.com don’t pay much but referring a high-ticket account can earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

7. Freelance services

Offering freelancing services to clients via the internet is becoming a more popular home business option. Almost any position that an online firm would hire for can be done as a freelance service, including writing, graphic design, data entry, and digital marketing. For years at Shopify, I've worked with writers, illustrators, and designers, the majority of whom freelancing is their full-time job, not something they do in their spare time.

9. Start a YouTube channel

Create a YouTube channel dedicated to a specific niche. This will help you establish a devoted audience that will return to your channel on a regular basis, allowing you to earn more money online. You may provide instructional, product reviews, or celebrity news updates—whatever you believe will pique your audience's interest.

The secret to having a successful YouTube channel is to use your video to entertain or educate others. You may generate money by placing YouTube advertising on your channel once you reach 1,000 subscribers. To make money on YouTube, you can also offer paid product placement to big businesses, sell things, or become an affiliate.
