Offer Themes/Templates for Sale

Themes/templates can be created for blogs, brochures, social media articles, ebooks, and so on.
It is one of the most effective ways to earn money online in a passive manner. You can make a few themes and then change them to make more. What you have to do now is think about new ways to reuse your job.

You can sell your themes on websites such as Creative Market, Theme Forest, and Template Monster.

3D Printing

3D printing is revolutionizing the industrial industry and today everyone can be a manufacturer. What you need is a 3D printer and some technological skills to get started.
I think that anyone should buy a 3D printer because it allows you to produce products that are not already available on the market, make replacement parts for products that the vendor does not offer, and sell all of them without much trouble.

You can sell print-on-demand items on Amazon, sell 3D prototypes online, sell these designs to a manufacturer, or offer 3D printing services to others if you have an idea.
With some programming experience, you can configure the printer to print automatically on a new order and plan for distribution to make the operation streamlined and painless.

You may claim to make over $10,000 from a single product with effective publicity and a useful product. And if it’s anything necessary, there’s no limit on how much money you can make.

Online Contests

This can be juvenile, but it is by far the most straightforward way to make a lot of money online. Some competitions pay out up to $100,000, and you don’t even have to advertise or expand your social media footprint. As a result, everyone will participate.

I took part in a contest where you need to make a 2 min long video and if you win you get $4000. It took me around 20 hours to script, record, and edit the video. If you calculate the hourly rate, it’s $200/hr if I get the first prize.

Bug Bounty Programs

Since I am not a very good programmer/hacker, I have never attempted this before. Bug bounty systems, on the other hand, can be a fun way to win money and practice whether you are or wish to be a bug hunter.
The bounty changes often and is based on the vulnerability, the organization, and a variety of other variables.

Google bug bounty program usually ranges from $100 to $200,000; Facebook’s minimum bounty is $500, they don’t specify an upper limit.

You can find the latest bounties on sites such as HackerOne and Bugcrowd.

If you are a programmer/hacker or want to be one, bug bounty programs are a good way to test your skills.

Arbitrage Opportunities

Flash Loans allow you to take out a large number of loans in a single transaction. For eg, you might borrow $1 million with no collateral and use it to purchase cryptocurrency. You will then sell this cryptocurrency on another website or in a brief period of time for a profit.
To pull this off, you’ll need to know how to program and about cryptocurrencies.
To eliminate the chance, write a clear if statement that tests if arbitrage is profitable before taking the loan and performing any of the operations. It is risk-free and if the deal fails at some time, it would be as if you had not taken out a loan at all.

Flash Loans are the first uncollateralized loan option in DeFi! Designed for developers, Flash Loans enable you to borrow instantly and easily, no collateral needed provided that the liquidity is returned to the pool within one transaction block.

So what’s the catch?

So, what’s the snag?
It’s difficult to make a lot of money this way, and it’s unhealthy to depend on it as a source of income. Since flash loans are still a recent idea, there are many scam websites out there, so be cautious.
Flash Loans are a great way to get a taste of cryptocurrency and learn about it without taking any risks. You can make a lot of money this way if you’re lucky.

I propose that you try at least one of these techniques. Even if you don’t make it right away, it’s a nice way to develop a new talent and still having a chance to make money.
Any artistic production can be profited from, and your abilities can only improve over time. So you will make money in the long run if you keep learning and remain consistent.
