hi my name is Anastasia and I've been an owner of a six figure online business for the past s years I would never reach that kind of income if I pursued my corporate job well at least not where I live for sure in this video I will show you four online business ideas to start this year with the help of technology and AI tools which is obviously our advantage and we shouldn't ignore it most of these business ideas you can start with $0 for most of them all you need is just your laptop and even jus
t your phone with an internet connection and you can do this from anywhere in the world and the first business idea is selling digital products I love selling digital products because you need to create them once and then they become completely passive you can even sell them for years with close to zero customer support needed because digital products are delivered automatically by email and people just need to download them and use them so you get more freedom and flexibility you can spend time
however you like with your friends kids gardening or doing whatever brings you Joy I also love that digital products are super easy to scale you can sell as many copies as you wish without worrying about your supply chain or needing to increase the production and the startup costs are close to zero usually it is just your time and effort maybe in some cases you need to pay for the software that you use to create your products but again it's a minimal investment you will be surprised by the vari
ety of digital products that you can sell online let's start talking about them checklists ebooks planners resume templates workbooks coloring pages printable journals business cards templates digital art prints stock graphics music and sound sound effects and so much more just check out this store on Etsy called digital curio upon doing a bit of research I found that they made about $3.3 million selling items like watercolor clip arts digital paper or various textures and patterns you know how
you can make a store like this and fill it with a bunch of stuff really quickly all you got to do is use an image generating AI tool maybe like M Journey just give it a few words and in no time it will spill out images like these but you got to give it the right words and there is this free site called mid Journey prompt helper that can help you with that just search for it and you will find a page like this let's say that I want to make a Japanese pattern I'll type Japanese pattern in the box a
nd then I will add more details the categories on the left can help me with that for example if I click on Styles I can choose different styles to generate I'll pick floral and then I'll slide the switch to the right to make sure that flowers are the main part of the pattern then you take this prompt to M journey and generate your images and then you can take this file to Etsy and sell it as a digital download I managed to generate several patterns like this in just a couple of minutes I have a
much more detailed video with five different digital products that you can create with the i tools so if you like this business idea then check out the video linked up there and also it will be in the description below now another business idea that is super easy to start and can actually make you up to $10,000 per month in about a year of doing it is being a ugc content creator so what exactly is ugc it stands for user generated content which can be anything from videos and photos to text but l
et's be real most brands these days are actually looking for short video content and is it possible to become a UTC Creator in just a month even if you have zero followers well the answer is certainly yes you don't need to be a mega influencer with a million followers to start making money with ugc content many ugc creators publicly share on social media how much they make for example a Tik Tok user Laura e marketing shared that after being a ugc creator for a year she started averaging between
7 and $8,000 a month from making ugc I checked her profile on Tik Tok and she currently has about 15,000 followers which is not a lot but she can be considered a nano influencer in fact ugc creators are meant to be just regular people sharing their experiences and thoughts online ugc is based on the principle that people trust people simple as that UTC creators need to create content that feels like a recommendation from a friend not an endorsement from a celebrity and what's great about it is t
hat anyone can become a UTC Creator there is no expectation of topnotch quality content or fancy equipment if you have an average smartphone with a camera and a source of natural light like like a window you're pretty much good to go now there is a key difference between an influencer and the ugc Creator when a brand works with an influencer they're tapping into their established Audience by posting the content on the influencers social media accounts on the other hand when Brands work with ugc
content it's typically meant to be published on the brand own social media channels so that's why you don't need to have a large following as a ugc Creator so I think you can give ugc a try even if you don't like to show your face online you still have a chance to succeed with this because there is a very popular ugc video format called unboxing see here you just show your hands and you unbox the products and your face doesn't appear on camera so if you like your privacy you can start with this
format and even use some AI generated voice over it's pretty common on short videos so most of the brands will be fine with it I have a video on my channel dedicated to all the steps that you need to take to succeed as a ugc Creator if you want to try this business idea check it up there or in the description below we're talking about starting online businesses today and when you start a business plan is really important studies show that owners with a business plan see growth 30% faster than th
ose without one a business plan can help you avoid critical mistakes in evaluating your competition in setting up the pricing and so on when I started I used this super handy one pager from hopspot that nails down all the key stuff that you need to think about when starting a business you will also get a bigger template here that will help you tell your company's story in a way that gets people excited think about what you want to achieve in the future set your goals explain what you sell and ho

money online that's relatively easy and fast affiliate marketing is a great idea and here is why first there is no need to create a product you don't need to invest time and money in creating a product or service you simply promote things made by others then also another reason is that it's a passive income idea because once you've set your affiliate links and started driving traffic to them you can earn money 24/7 even when you're sleeping on vacation or spending time with your family you're a
ili links can still generate sales and then there is also no customer service since you're not the one selling the product or service you don't have to worry about customer requests complaints or Returns the company whose products you're promoting will take care of all of that to get started you just need to sign up for a couple of large affiliate networks I'm a big fan of impact and Let me refresh here the page with my earnings for the last 30 days now you can join them using my link Anastasia
blogger.com impact and you will get to work with big Brands all in one place also you can check out platforms like Partners Tech where you will find mostly software brands or ClickBank and digistore24 for a wide range of digital products the products with the highest earning potential are software companies you can typically get reiring commissions because users pay for those tools every month and they keep using them for maybe for years and guess what you can usually expect commissions around 3
0 to 50% on software nice right or you could also explore affiliate programs for various online courses many courses sell for around $1,000 and the commission rate is often about 50% so to hit your first $100,000 as an affiliate for online courses if you're making $500 a sale you will need to make roughly about2 100 sales you can use many platforms as a traffic source for your affiliate marketing business a lot of people make really good money here on YouTube by creating videos about products or
Services I will show you here a video on my channel where I made a review of online course platforms it is my honest review based on real experiences that I had with these platforms and in the description below the video people who want to support my efforts on YouTube can use my links to sign up for any of these platforms that I reviewed users don't pay anything extra for going through my links it's the software companies that are willing to share part of their revenue with affiliate marketers
who talk about their products online now I understand that making YouTube videos might be not for everyone some people hate the idea of showing up on camera others don't have the equipment to produce high quality content for this platform well the good good news is that there are other ways to do affiliate marketing you can get started on Pinterest for example it's a visual search engine you just need to post images there no need to create detailed videos I actually have a very popular video on
