Have you ever wondered if you could actually make money online — without a huge audience or a tech-heavy setup? The good news is: you can. You don’t need fancy funnels or thousands of followers. Just a little faith, action, and willingness to serve others with your skills.

Here are 10 simple, real ways to start making money online — even if you’re starting from scratch.


1. Offer a Simple Service

You likely have a skill someone needs — organizing, writing, proofreading, Canva design, or social media help. Use the formula:

“I help [who] with [what] so they can [result].”

Start at $25–$50 and share it with your friends or family.


2. Sell a Digital Product

Think: checklists, devotionals, templates, or mini-guides.
Use Canva to create it, and sell it through your Stan Store â€” no website required.


3. Become a Virtual Assistant

Many small business owners need help with emails, scheduling, or research.
Post your offer in Facebook groups or message 5 people today.


4. Teach What You Know

Could you teach someone how to homeschool, budget, meal prep, or study the Bible?
Record a short Zoom lesson and sell it as a mini-course.


5. Offer One-on-One Sessions

Think coaching, mentoring, or problem-solving calls (30–60 mins).
Start by offering 3 spots to friends or email subscribers at a beta rate.


6. Share Affiliate Links

Promote tools or resources you love (like Canva, Stan, or Amazon).
You earn a small commission when someone buys through your link.


7. Sell Printables or Journals

Create a journal, planner, or worksheet set on Canva.
Upload it to your Stan Store or Etsy as a digital download.


8. Host a Paid Challenge or Workshop

Run a 5-day challenge or 1-hour Zoom workshop for $10–$50.
Teach something helpful + faith-fueled, then upsell your guide or offer at the end.


9. Write a Faith-Based Email Newsletter

Use Substack (free!) to build a loyal audience.
Link to your Stan Store in every email.


10. Start with What You Know + Who You Know

You don’t need a platform — you need a person to serve.
Message a friend today and ask:

“Would this be helpful to you or someone you know?”


đź’ˇ Final Encouragement

You don’t need to hustle. You need a plan, a little courage, and a whole lot of faith. God has already equipped you — now it’s time to take that first step.
