My #1 Recommendation To Earn Passive Income Online


Hi, Karen from the Dandy Project here...


You may have been searching online for ways to tutor, or teach online... maybe even start a home business, and you found our site.


First let me say Welcome… and thank you for stopping by.


I’m writing this brief article to clarify some key differences between earning money OFFline... vs. earning it ONline.

If you’re a tutor, teacher…or even in sales, and you arrived here to learn how you can use your expertise to make money online... this may change your perspective about finding a job you can do online. 


In fact, it may be entirely different than what you were thinking... but also an eye opener to what you can do online.


I'm going to explain why your expertise is under-valued, and how leveraging the internet enables to free up time and focus on the areas of your profession you enjoy most.


In the OFFline world, there is one big problem holding you back… which is YOU.


Well… not YOU specifically, but the fact that there is only ONE of you.


As someone who has spent nearly 20 years as a CSR and Account Manager... educating clients about products, services, legal requirements, and so on... I know all about sounding like a broken record.


Sounding Like a Broken Record

Over those years... I've talked to customers thousands upon thousands of times… giving the exact same speech, saying the exact SAME THING (quite often, to the exact same person).


Maybe you know what it's like repeating yourself over and over and over... 


It's a colossal waste of time... 


And it's unnecessary. 


It's also a waste of your knowledge and talents... 


The internet allows us to focus on more important work, like helping people one-on-one, answering their questions, and learning new things ourselves so we can become better at what we do.


When two-thirds of your time is spent repeating the same same things over and over, your time for the important stuff is severely limited… if you can even get to it at all. 


That’s the OFFline world. We can only do so much... It may be why you're looking for a change, and why you feel under-valued. 


Your time is limited and your income is limited, and in most cases... you need both to fulfill your passions and purpose. 


There’s a better way…

​


Everything changes ONLINE…


By leveraging the internet, you effectively multiply your efforts by creating something ONCE, and instead of repeating it over and over…


You get paid for it over and over... 

​

Which is not just a benefit to you, it’s a benefit to your students, clients, and whoever you’re trying to help.


You have more time and energy for them, you have more time and energy for your family, friends... and yourself. 


It Sounds Good... But How Do You Do It?


Trading hours for dollars is the problem, and it's not limited to the offline world.


If you’re an online freelancer for example, or working for an online employer such as Skillshare or VIPKid… you’re still getting paid per hour, or per task.


With only 24 hours in a day, that strategy will not lead to financial independence. The minute you stop working, your income stops as well.


Among the many ways people are earning passive income online, the two most common are...


  • Online course and tutorial creation, and... 
  • Affiliate marketing.


I’m going to focus on affiliate marketing here because,


  1. It’s the most common strategy people use to get started online...
    ​
  2. Even those who sell their own courses find that a larger part of their income comes from affiliate marketing (for reasons that will become obvious in a moment).

  3. You can earn money as an affiliate marketer by partnering with others who have already created a course.

I’ll use a quick example of someone who is passionate about playing guitar, and would like to teach guitar online.


Guitar is just an example… the same strategy applies to just about anything you can think of. 


Instead of trading hours for dollars, and giving the same talk over and over... 


...the BETTER WAY is by Creating Digital Assets...

​

Digital assets that do the work for you.


Many people are changing their lives this way, but they're doing it with social media, which is a bad strategy, and here's why...


Social Media is NOT a digital asset that you own. Mark Zuckerberg... or some other billionaire owns it, and they don't know, or care who you are.


People have spent years building loyal followers and groups, only to have their efforts (and dreams) absolutely shattered when Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. change their algorithm.


Below is a recent article on huffingtonpost.com... and if you follow the industry, you hear these stories all of the time.

Social Media Troubles

This is why you NEED your own website. 


Your own piece of digital real estate online… that YOU own (but don't worry, building a website today is as easy as point and click...).


Returning to our guitarist who wants to teach guitar online... their best strategy is to share their passion and build an audience or community online... by helping others who want to learn. 


I can't overstate how important this is for a long-term and sustainable business. 


As long as people have questions, they'll be searching for answers online. If you can provide an answer to HONESTLY help them (or point them in a direction where they can find an answer), you will have a successful online business for many years to come.


While "gurus" are constantly coming up with the "next best thing"... gimmicks, funnels or whatever... it's the humble website (and the people who create them) that are laying the bricks that build the web.


It's often said that Google has all the answers... but that's not entirely true. They help us find the answers... but they don't create them. 


And, the process is not complicated... 


Right now is a perfect example. When you found this website, you had a question and you were looking for an answer... which led you here. 


People have been searching for answers online for more than twenty years... and they'll be searching online for twenty more.


And as we approach 4 billion people online... one of those questions will be...  "How to Play Guitar". or "How to Play Jazz Guitar, or Blues Guitar... and so on." ...in which case, our guitarist could (if he or she wanted) create a course, write about it (in a way that searchers can find it), and sell it online.


But, many people don't want to create courses... and most don't want to sell either. 


Online... you do NOT have to sell. In fact, you can share everything you know online for free, not create a course... and STILL make life-changing income online.


This is where affiliate marketing turns making money... on it's head. 


Online retailers (such as the Guitar Center for example) have partnership (or affiliate) programs which pay commissions to you whenever someone buys something having followed YOUR link to their site. 

Affiliate Programs

From guitars and strings, to recording equipment… you would earn commissions. 


And it's only natural that visitors to our guitarist's website will need (and want to) buy guitars and related products.


But it's not just the Guitar Center. Companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Nike all have affiliate programs... and literally hundreds of thousands of other companies do as well.

Companies Examples With Affiliate Programs


If your website was academic related for example, you might partner with companies that make laptops, tablets, or specific tools students might need. 


Or... a passion for travel could earn you commissions from travel packages and hotels.


Affiliate marketing is the strategy that millions are using to stop trading their hours for dollars.


Your digital asset is making money for you. 


​You could be on vacation, spending time with your family… sleeping…


Whatever you're doing... your website is working for you. 


This strategy has another important advantage...  the people visiting your website are people who are interested in what your site is about.


If you're reading this now for example... it's because you're interested...


In other words... you are NOT filling people's Facebook feeds with stuff they don't care about.


If teaching is in your blood, you could be earning affiliate commissions from products... while also providing private tutoring and lessons.


As I mentioned above... you don't need to create a course because you can partner with others who have already done it. 


It's as easy as signing up (screenshot below). 


Udemy has just about any course you can think of... and an affiliate program.


There are literally thousands of courses you can connect your audience with... and earn commissions.

Course Affiliate Programs

These are all examples of programs you can partner with and earn passive income online... but there are countless others... and learning how to do this is FREE.


The affiliate marketing industry was built on the idea that value is provided first, and trust is earned...


Which is why my #1 recommendation is my #1 recommendation...
