Creating and selling courses online is now not only affordable but also an extremely effective way to position yourself as an expert in your niche. The Internet has long opened unlimited opportunities for us.
So, why not use it to share your knowledge and skills with the global community?
However, success in this endeavour increasingly requires not only high-quality material but also a strategic approach to its creation and course marketing.
That is why it is important to know and be guided in what is needed to create your own online course successfully and market it.
Course Concept Creation
The first thing you need to do when you create a digital course is to clearly define its concept and the ultimate goals that the user will achieve. Therefore, you need to:
clearly define your target audience,
research your TA thoroughly.
This will help determine their needs and expectations from the course. According to the data obtained, determine:
the topic of the course,
what subtopics it will consist of,
the format of the workshop,
the level of complexity of the course,
perhaps it will have several variations in terms of difficulty levels.
Course Content Creation and Technical Considerations
1. How to Make a Course to Sell
Develop a detailed course plan, including all the necessary subtopics and materials. It is vital to keep in mind the variety of content formats. It can be both video lessons and text materials. As well as tests, assignments for independent work, etc.
Regardless of the format, it is essential to organize all this in a way that is not overloaded with information and at the same time provides comprehensive material on the key topic. To
do this, divide the course into blocks and sub-blocks. If possible, add relevant visualizations and graphic elements to highlight key points. It is crucial that they are relevant to the topic and do not overload it. Likewise, they should not draw attention to themselves, but rather be a logical complement to the main material and help it to be understood more easily.
It is not uncommon to find yourself needing to record the screen when you are explaining something to your audience. You may also want to insert certain moments from the current online recording into a future course. To do this, you will need to choose the best screen recording software.
This is often a key element in creating high-quality content for your online course. For Mac users, apps to screen record on Mac, like QuickTime Player, Camtasia, and ScreenFlow, offer excellent opportunities to create professional video tutorials. Other screen recorders for Mac include OBS Studio, Screencast-O-Matic, and others. They will help you create video tutorials that will be of high quality. It will also emphasize your professional approach to the business.
2. Platforms for Hosting
Choosing a platform to host a workshop is an equally important step after course creation. The most trusted course platforms are those that have already proven themselves and continue to be very popular. These include Udemy, Coursera, and WordPress-based LMSs.
Whichever platform you choose, take your choice seriously, considering your capabilities. Before choosing, pay attention to the commissions, marketing opportunities, and functionality of a particular platform.
Marketing and Promotion of the Course
Creating a course is only the first step. Next, you place it on a certain platform. However, selling courses online requires effective marketing and promotion if you want to make your training programs popular.
This is equally critical for attracting an audience. Use social media and advertising. Don’t forget to collaborate with influencers to promote your content.
1. Advertising
Online advertising is a super effective way to attract new participants to your course. You can use a variety of platforms to run ads. These include Google Ads and Facebook Ads. It can also be LinkedIn Ads. It is essential to set up your ad campaigns correctly.
To do this, consider:
your target audience,
your budget,
the goal of the campaign.
2. Using social media
Social media has proven to be a powerful tool for promoting businesses regardless of their size. The same can be true for your course. Create a course page on popular social networks. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter. Post engaging content that will attract the attention of your future audience.
It can be:
short videos,
quotes from the course,
announcements of upcoming webinars or promotions, etc.
3. Collaboration with influencers
Collaborating with bloggers and other influencers can help bring additional, needed attention to your learning program. That is why you should try to look for personalities who have a large audience in your niche and are ready to recommend your course to their subscribers. This can be through promotional posts or joint projects.
4. Analysis and Improvement
Never forget to analyse the results of your marketing strategy. Otherwise, you can’t improve it. Use analytical tools and determine the effectiveness of each promotion channel. This way, you can adjust your actions in time to achieve the best results.
Closing Thoughts
Creating and selling online courses is a promising trend in modern society and, accordingly, in the contemporary educational process. Given the vast possibilities of the Internet and the growing demand for quality education, a successful course can become not only a source of profit but also a tool. A tool for development and influence. For that, we sincerely wish you success in this field and inspiration to create high-quality material.

Have you ever dreamed of working from anywhere in the world, without being tied to a specific location or a fixed schedule?
Do you want to explore new cultures, learn new skills, and enjoy more freedom and flexibility in your life? If so, you might be interested in becoming a digital nomad like me.
Who is a digital nomad?
A digital nomad is someone who uses technology to work remotely while travelling or living in different places. Digital nomads can work from home, co-working spaces, cafes, hotels, or anywhere with a reliable internet connection. They can choose their hours, projects, and clients if they deliver quality work and meet deadlines.
What does it take to become a digital nomad?
But how do you become a digital nomad with no experience? Is it possible to start from scratch and build a successful career as a location-independent professional?
The answer is yes, but it requires some planning, preparation, and perseverance.
In this digital nomad guide, I will share with you my journey of becoming a digital nomad and give you some tips and advice on how you can do the same. Don’t worry, anyone can achieve this!
My Digital Nomad Story: How I Became a Digital Nomad and a Digital Marketer
I have always loved travelling and learning new things. I studied education at university and later journalism and blogging in my free time while I worked as a teacher and a content writer and translator for several years.
I talk about my journey in more depth here:
However, at some point, I felt that something was missing in my life. I wanted more freedom, flexibility, ownership, and challenge in my work. I wanted to be able to work from anywhere in the world, without being limited by geography or time zones.
That’s when I discovered the concept of digital nomadism. I was fascinated by the idea of combining work and travel and being able to earn money online while pursuing my passions. I decided to take the plunge and quit my teaching job to become a full-time digital marketer with ClickDo.
This was only possible because I’d worked part-time for ClickDo previously, learning the SEO and digital marketing skills that would eventually get me the job of a full-time senior marketer at the agency.
Digital marketing is one of the most popular and lucrative fields for digital nomads. I had some basic skills in writing, editing, blogging and social media when I started to work for ClickDo, but I knew that was not enough to land me a decent full-time job online with the salary I wanted. I needed to learn more about SEO, content marketing, email marketing, web design, analytics, and other aspects of digital marketing.
I achieved this through learning by doing basically. I learned all about WordPress, SEO, blogging and digital marketing through the guidance of ClickDo’s CEO Fernando Raymond along with online tutorials and SeekaHost University courses.
The courses are taught by ClickDo marketing and SEO experts who have years of experience in the industry, and who are also digital nomads themselves. They gave me valuable insights into how to find and manage clients and projects and grow my portfolio online.
The journalism course I did for one summer holiday when I was off from teaching also gave me access to a supportive community of fellow students and mentors who helped me improve my writing, research, and journalistic skills. They gave me feedback on my assignments, answered my questions, and shared their own experiences and tips on working as writers, journalists, and even digital nomads. All these experiences encouraged me to start my blog, manuelawillbold.com, where I could showcase my work and build my brand online.
On top of my basic pay, I get paid commissions, so I gradually built up a growing stream of income from making additional sales for ClickDo. I built blogs and magazines for ClickDo that would offer guest posting and PR services, which would serve as additional income sources besides client work.
Parts of my daily work include content writing, editing, proofreading, SEO, social media marketing, email marketing, web designing, and SEO consultancy for clients around the world. Some of them are small businesses or startups that need help with their online presence or marketing. Other established brands or agencies outsource some of their work to me.
Here’s more about my life as a digital marketer and nomad in London:
I also started to hire more freelancers as my workload increased. I now work with content creators and publishers, email and social media marketers, salespeople, and web designers to delegate tasks so that we can scale our operations in digital marketing and website monetisation.
Thanks to these developments, I can grow my income and reputation as a digital marketer. I constantly learn new skills and expand my portfolio with more diverse and challenging projects, new collaborations, and partnerships, which in turn enable me to charge higher rates for my work and negotiate better terms with my clients.
Nowadays, I earn enough money online and remotely to support myself and fund my travels around the world. I have visited over 30 countries and plan to visit many more while working remotely from anywhere I want as a digital nomad.
How you can become a digital nomad with no experience
As a digital nomad, you can work from home, cafes, co-working spaces, hotels, or anywhere with a reliable internet connection. You can also travel as much or as little as you want if you’re self-employed or depending on your and your employer’s preferences and budget.
But is it possible to start this lifestyle without having any prior skills, work, or education in the online world?
Yes, you can, and I will guide you through the steps you need to take to become a digital nomad with no experience. I will also highlight some of the necessary skills, work and education options, and possible career paths that can enable you to live and work as a digital nomad.
Check out my highlights of living as a digital nomad here:
Step 1: Assess Your Current Situation
The first step to becoming a digital nomad with no experience is to assess your current situation and determine what you need to change or improve. Some of the questions you should ask yourself are:
What are your goals and motivations for becoming a digital nomad?
What are your current skills and strengths?
What are your current weaknesses and gaps?
What are your current income sources and expenses?
How much savings do you have and how long can they last?
How much debt do you have and how can you pay it off?
How flexible are you in terms of time, location, and lifestyle?
By answering these questions honestly, you will have a clearer picture of where you are now and where you want to go. You will also be able to identify the areas that you need to work on or learn more about before you can start your digital nomad journey.
Check out my tips for working as a digital nomad in this video:
Step 2: Learn New Skills or Improve Existing Ones
The next step to becoming a digital nomad with no experience is to learn new skills or improve existing ones that can help you find online work or create your own online business.
Many skills are in high demand in the online world, such as:
Web development
Graphic design
Content writing
Copywriting
Social media marketing
SEO
Digital Marketing
Online teaching
Virtual assistance
Translation
Data entry
You don't need to master all these skills, but you should choose one or a few that match your interests, talents, and goals. You should also consider the level of difficulty, competition, and income potential of each skill.
Check out this ClickDo Guide to get an idea of remote working jobs that pay well while aligning with your expectations and goals:
There are many ways to learn new skills or improve existing ones, such as:
Taking online courses or tutorials
Reading books or blogs
Watching videos or podcasts
Joining online communities or forums
Practising on your projects or portfolios
Offering your services for free or at a low rate to gain experience and feedback
The key is to be consistent, curious, and committed to learning and improving every day. You should also seek out mentors, peers, or clients who can help you grow and challenge yourself.
Step 3: Find Online Work or Create Your Own Online Business
The third step to becoming a digital nomad with no experience is to find online work or create your own online business that can generate enough income to sustain your lifestyle.
There are two main ways to do this
Working as a freelancer
This means offering your skills or services to clients on a project-by-project basis. You can find freelance work on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, PeoplePerHour, Freelancer.com, etc., or by networking with other freelancers, digital nomads, or potential clients. The advantages of freelancing are that you have more control over your schedule, rates, and projects. The disadvantages are that you have less stability, security, and benefits.
Working as an employee
This means working for a company or organization that allows remote work. You can find remote work on platforms like FlexJobs, and Remote.co, We Work Remotely, etc., or by applying directly to companies that offer remote positions. The advantages of working as an employee are that you have more stability, security, and benefits. The disadvantages are that you have less control over your schedule, rates, and projects.
Starting your own Business
You can also create your own online business by selling products or services that solve a problem or meet a need for a specific audience, I share tips for freelance copywriting businesses for example. You can create your website or blog, e-commerce store, online course, podcast etc., and monetize it through various methods such as advertising, affiliate marketing, sponsorships, subscriptions, etc.
Step 4: Making money online
If you dream of travelling the world and working from anywhere, you might be interested in becoming a digital nomad. A digital nomad is someone who uses the internet to earn money and live a location-independent lifestyle. But how do you make money online to support this kind of lifestyle or to even retire early?
Freelancing is one of the easiest and most flexible ways to make money online. You can offer your skills and services to clients around the world, such as writing, graphic design, web development, marketing, translation, and more. You can find freelance gigs on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer, or create your own website and portfolio. Freelancing allows you to set your rates, hours, and projects, but it also requires discipline, communication, and time management skills.
2. Blogging
Blogging is another way to make money online by creating and sharing valuable content with your audience. You can blog about anything you are passionate about, such as travel, lifestyle, fitness, fashion, or personal development. You can monetize your blog by displaying ads, selling products or services, promoting affiliate offers, or creating sponsored posts. Blogging takes time and effort to grow your traffic and income, but it can also be very rewarding and fun.
3. E-commerce
E-commerce is the process of selling products or services online. You can create your online store using platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, or Etsy, or sell on marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress. You can sell physical products, digital products, or dropship products from other suppliers. E-commerce requires some upfront investment, inventory management, and customer service skills, but it can also generate passive income and scale easily.
4. Online courses
Online courses are another way to make money online by sharing your knowledge and expertise with others. You can create and sell online courses on e-course platforms like Udemy, Skillshare, Teachable, or Podia, or host them on your website. You can teach anything you are good at or interested in, such as languages, business, photography, music, or personal development. Online courses can be a great source of passive income and authority building.
5. Podcasting
Podcasting is the art of creating and distributing audio content online. You can start a podcast on any topic you are passionate about or have an audience for, such as travel, entrepreneurship, sports, comedy, or education. You can monetize your podcast by attracting sponsors, selling products or services, accepting donations, or creating premium content.
Podcasting requires some equipment, editing skills, and marketing strategies, but it can also be a great way to connect with your audience and grow your brand.
I’m just getting started as you can see here:
These are just some of the ways to make money online as a digital nomad. There are many more options and opportunities out there for you to explore and experiment with. The key is to find something that suits your skills, interests, goals, and lifestyle preferences.
Remember that making money online consistently is not easy or quick; it takes hard work, dedication, and patience. But if you are willing to learn and adapt along the way, you can achieve your dream of living as a digital nomad, especially if you understand how to scale and automate operations.
Step 5: Planning your digital nomad lifestyle
Digital nomad dream of working from anywhere in the world, exploring new cultures, and having more freedom and flexibility in their life, so utilising technology effectively to work remotely and live a location-independent lifestyle is key to achieving this dream.
Becoming a digital nomad is not as easy as it sounds. It requires careful planning, preparation, and adaptation. I will share some tips on how to plan and master the digital nomad lifestyle, based on my own experience and research.
1. Define your goals and expectations
Before you embark on your digital nomad journey, you need to have a clear idea of why you want to do it, what you hope to achieve, and what challenges you might face. For example, do you want to travel the world, learn new skills, or start your own business? How long do you plan to be a digital nomad? How will you balance work and leisure? How will you deal with loneliness, culture shock, or visa issues? Having realistic goals and expectations will help you stay motivated and focused.
2. Choose your destination(s) wisely
One of the perks of being a digital nomad is that you can choose where to live and work. However, not all destinations are equally suitable for digital nomads. You need to consider factors such as cost of living, internet speed, safety, climate, culture, language, and time zone. You also need to research the visa requirements and regulations for each country you want to visit.
Some popular destinations for digital nomads include Thailand, Bali, Portugal, Mexico, and Estonia, but I personally love Greece, Spain, Germany, the UK and most of Europe. I share some travel tips for digital nomads here:
3. Secure a reliable source of income
Unless you have a lot of savings or passive income, you will need to find a way to make money online as a digital nomad. There are many options for remote work, such as freelancing, consulting, blogging, podcasting, teaching, or running an e-commerce store as explained in more detail above and in some of my other guides. You can also look for remote jobs on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, Remote.co, or FlexJobs. Whatever you choose, make sure you have a stable and diversified income stream that can cover your expenses and allow you to save for emergencies and future investments.
4. Pack light and smart
As a digital nomad, you will be moving around a lot, so you don't want to carry too much luggage with you. Ideally, you should be able to fit everything in a carry-on backpack or suitcase. You should only pack the essentials, such as clothes, toiletries, documents, and electronics. You can always buy or rent anything else you need locally. You should also invest in some quality travel gear, such as a laptop stand, a portable charger, a travel adapter, and a VPN service.
5. Build a network and community
One of the biggest challenges of being a digital nomad is loneliness and isolation. You will be leaving behind your friends and family, and constantly meeting new people who may not share your lifestyle or values. That's why it's important to build a network and community of like-minded people who can support you, inspire you, and collaborate with you. You can join online groups and forums for digital nomads, such as Nomad List, Digital Nomad Network, or Reddit. You can also attend local events and meetups for digital nomads or expats in your destination.
6. Keep learning and growing
Being a digital nomad is not only about working and travelling; it's also about learning and growing as a person. You will have the opportunity to experience different cultures, languages, cuisines, and perspectives that will enrich your life and broaden your horizons. You will also face various challenges and difficulties that will test your resilience and adaptability. To make the most of your digital nomad journey, you should always keep an open mind and a curious attitude. You should also seek feedback and improve your skills and knowledge.
Fernando and I share our digital nomad journeys in this video for more inspiration:
Becoming a digital nomad is not for everyone; it requires a lot of planning, creativity, discipline, and courage. But if you are willing to take the leap and follow the above tips and ideas, you can enjoy a rewarding and fulfilling lifestyle that many people only dream of. If you think it’s for you, test it and see how you get on. You’ve got nothing to lose after all.

Das Konzept der Arbeit von zu Hause oder Remote-Arbeit war noch vor einem Jahrzehnt fast unvorstellbar und viele konnten sich nicht vorstellen, Online-Jobs in Deutschland zu haben.
Jetzt gilt es als die neue Normalität, vor allem seit dem Lockdown aufgrund der globalen Covid-Pandemie.
Das Internet hat neue Perspektiven eröffnet und online zu arbeiten, bedeutet keine langen Arbeitswege mehr, gefolgt von längeren Arbeitszeiten. Ich habe beschlossen, den UK Education Blog im Jahr 2018 als Nebenbeschäftigung zu starten, während ich Vollzeit als Pädagogin arbeitete. Es hat mir ermöglicht, jetzt Vollzeit als Blogger und Medienstrategin für ClickDo Ltd. zu arbeiten, während ich einen digitalen Nomaden-Lebensstil lebe. Und ja, ich liebe es! Lese hier alles über meinen ersten digital inspirierten Sommer 2018.
Du kannst eine profitable Karriere von deinem Sofa aus starten, arbeiten, wann du willst, deine Freizeit flexibel genießen und etwas bewirken. Du kannst sogar ein digitaler Nomade oder digitaler Unternehmer werden. Es ist einfacher denn je, solange du einige digitale Fähigkeiten wie SEO, digitales Marketing oder einfach die Verwendung von Microsoft Office und einem Webbrowser erworben hast.
Du kannst so einfach diese digitalen Fähigkeiten mit Tausenden von YouTube-Tutorials oder der SeekaHost University erlernen, wo ich einen Kurs über SEO-Copywriting erstellt habe.
Seit einigen Jahren arbeite ich online von zu Hause aus als Texter, Blogger und Medienstrategin. Ich habe viele Anleitungen zum Online-Geldverdienen geschrieben, die ich in diesem Artikel teile.
Und weil ich eine Deutsche bin die in England lebt, habe ich den deutschen Online-Job- und Arbeitsmarkt recherchiert, um zu zeigen, wie einfach es ist, in Deutschland online Geld zu verdienen. In England ist es bereits lange ein lukrativer Markt, wie ich hier genauer beleuchte:
Entdecke die Möglichkeiten in Deutschland, einem Land voller gutbezahlter Online-Jobs, die sich etabliert haben und die perfekt zum Einstieg ins digitale Nomadentum sind und die auffindbar sind auf online Jobbörsen wie Zuhausejobs.com zum Beispiel.
Die bewährtesten Online-Jobs in Deutschland
1. Übersetzer
Dies ist der perfekte Job, wenn du Englisch und Deutsch oder eine andere Sprache in Kombination mit Deutsch gut beherrschst. Die Übersetzung ist mit dem Wachstum des Welthandels zu einer wichtigen Aufgabe geworden. Fast alle Geschäftsdokumente, Urkunden, eidesstattlichen Erklärungen, Memoranden usw. müssen ins Englische übersetzt werden, um sie unter internationalen Kunden zu verbreiten. Es hilft, wenn du ein Diplom oder einen Abschluss in der englischen Sprache oder Zielsprache hast, aber es ist nicht obligatorisch. Natürlich müsstest du ohne Zertifizierung deine Kenntnisse des Englischen oder der Zielsprache für die Übersetzung in den ersten Projekten nachweisen. Wenn deine Arbeit gut genug ist, dann schwindet mit Erfahrung, einem großartigen Fallstudienportfolio und positiven Kundenbewertungen die Notwendigkeit einer Zertifizierung. Einige Online-Job-Websites und Suchmaschinen bieten dir auch die Möglichkeit, deine Fähigkeiten durch Tests zu präsentieren, die sie anbieten. Dies kann die Vertrauenswürdigkeit erhöhen.
Von größter Bedeutung ist das Verständnis, dass ein Übersetzer nicht nur Worte übersetzt, sondern auch Inhalte und Botschaften, die ein Unternehmen oder Kunde vermitteln möchte. Dein Webinhalt muss beispielsweise mehr als die Summe der verschiedenen Inhaltsteile sein und die Stimmung des Originals widerspiegeln, aber mit einem passenden kulturellen Blickwinkel. Deutsche Übersetzungsdienste decken verschiedene Sektoren wie Recht, Gesundheitswesen und Finanzen ab, über die du mehr recherchieren musst, wenn du dich auf diese Übersetzungsfähigkeiten spezialisieren möchtest.
Die oben genannten Branchen erfordern, dass du eine Ausbildung absolvierst, die auf den Bereich zugeschnitten ist, bevor du dich als zertifizierter oder vereidigter deutscher Übersetzer bewerben kannst, um eine Karriere in diesen Branchen zu beginnen. Mit über 130 Millionen Dolmetschern und etwa sechs Ländern, die Deutsch als Amtssprache haben, kannst du sicher sein, dass es als Übersetzer immer eine Nachfrage geben wird. Hier ist das Interview, das ich mit meiner engen Freundin Alexandra Bekavac geführt habe, die in Deutschland vereidigte Übersetzerin ist, um mehr über ihre Reise zu erfahren und wie sie ihren Lebensunterhalt mit dem Übersetzen von zu Hause aus verdient:
Britischer und deutscher Humor sind sehr unterschiedlich. Wenn also eine Kundenwebsite einen Witz oder einen lustigen Slogan präsentieren würde, wäre es deine Aufgabe, es in beiden Sprachen lustig klingen zu lassen. Als ich half, Inhalte und Dokumente für eine schweizer-deutsche Bildungswebsite namens Bambino Learncare ins Englische zu übersetzen, war dies aufgrund der Unterschiede in den nationalen und regionalen öffentlichen und politischen Systemen, die die Bildung beeinflussen, eine Herausforderung. Aus dem Deutschen zu übersetzen bedeutet also, dass du nicht nur für Deutsche, sondern ineinigen Fällen auch für Österreicher oder Schweizer sprichst, was spannend ist und viele weitere Online-Arbeitsmöglichkeiten eröffnen kann.
2. Blogger
Das Erstellen einer eigenen Domain und eines Blogs ist außergewöhnlich erfüllend und kann engagierte Blogger gut bezahlen. Der erste Schritt besteht darin, zu lernen, wie man einen Blog startet, genau wie ich es durch WordPress getan habe, und ich erkläre, wie du in nur einem Tag mit dem neuen Blog Hosting Control Panelder SeekaHost App beginnen kannst:
Wenn du eine Leidenschaft für etwas hast, teile es mit der Welt und werde bezahlt, wenn andere deinen Blog besuchen. Wenn du mehr darüber erfahren möchtest, wie du einen Blog monetarisieren kannst, lese dir hier meinen umfangreichen Blogging-Monetarisierungsleitfaden durch:
Natürlich müssen deine Blogbeiträge viele Leser anziehen, um Geld einzubringen. Du solltest daher professionelle SEO- und Blogging-Fähigkeiten haben, um die Beiträge auf Suchmaschinen hoch zu platzieren, damit die richtigen Leute sie finden. Du kannst an Online-Kursen der SeekaHost University teilnehmen, um diese Fähigkeiten zu lernen. Ich habe WordPress Hosting verwendet, um schnelle Ladegeschwindigkeiten für meine Webseiten zu erzielen, was das Ranking ebenso beeinflusst.
Mit dem SeekaHost Control Panel kann ich meine Website-Statistiken verfolgen und analysieren. Schaue dir meine Analyse hier an:
Sobald du deinen Blog erfolgreich aufgebaut hast, was Monate dauern kann (Tipp: Finde viele nützliche WordPress-, SEO- und Blogging-Tutorials auf dem SeekaHost YouTube-Kanal), ist es an der Zeit, ihn durch SEO, Social Media Marketing und Gastbeiträge zu bewerben. Dies stellt sicher, dass du genügend Leser anziehst, so dass dein Blog auf verschiedene Arten monetarisiert werden kann. Affiliate-Marketing, Verkauf von Werbeflächen, Online-Kurse, eBooks und viele weitere Möglichkeiten machen dies zu einem lukrativen Feld, das ich im Make Money Online ClickDo Leitfaden ausführlicher erkläre.
Alexandra Lapp und Leonie Hanne sind zwei bekannte deutsche Blogger, diedas Modebloggen in ein Multimillionen-Dollar-Unternehmen verwandelt haben, und du kannst auch herausfinden, wie die Top 100 britischen Blogger und Influencer wie Joe Wicks mit ihren Blogs und Social-Media-Kanälen Geld verdienen. Du wirst feststellen, dass Bloggen mehrere Möglichkeiten bietet, da viele auch erfolgreiche Vlogger auf YouTube sind und durch verschiedene Online-Quellen ein Einkommen erzielen.
Sicher nicht der schnellste und einfachste Weg online Geld zu verdienen in Deutschland, aber einer, der sich langfristig rentieren kann.
3. Dateneingabe
Die Aufgabe selbst ist ganz einfach. Du musst eine große Anzahl von Daten in ein vorgeschriebenes Format eingeben, normalerweise in Microsoft Excel auf eine Datenbankwebsite. Es gibt zwei Vorbehalte:
Du benötigst eine enorme Geschwindigkeit, mindestens 60 WPM (Wörter pro Minute), obwohl 90 vorzuziehen sind.
Die Genauigkeit muss 97,5% bei 22500 Tastenanschlägen pro Stunde betragen.
Der beste Weg, sich vorzubereiten, besteht darin, das Tippen mit einer kostenlosen Software zu lernen, die oft online verfügbar ist. Lerne auch, eine ergonomische Tastatur für eine bessere Arbeitsqualität zu verwenden. Sonst würdest du in einem Jahr ausbrennen. In diesem Bereich gibt es auch eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Fly-by-Night-Betreibern, die nicht zahlen. Daher ist eine kleine und zuverlässige Kundschaft, die dir regelmäßig Arbeit bietet eine gute Option. Weitere Tipps zu hoch bewerteten Online-Jobbörsen gebe ich im Make Money Online Kindle Book, wo ich hauptsächlich internationale Jobbörsen abdecke, die viele Deutsche auch nutzen, wie Fiverr, Upwork und mehr.
4. Online-Umfragen
Es ist die einfachste Arbeit von zu Hause aus und zahlt auch am wenigsten. Meinungsumfragen und Umfragen helfen Unternehmen, die Bedürfnisse der Kunden besser zu verstehen. Die Fragen können sich auf die Käuferpsychologie (z. B. die Gefühle beim Kauf / Auspacken), den Geschmack (Farbe, Material) oder finanzielle Aspekte (was ist zu teuer / erschwinglich) beziehen. Die Informationen sind selten persönlich identifizierbar, sondern eher ein Einblick in das Denken einer typischen Person aus der Perspektive eines Vermarkters. Mehrere Plattformen bieten Umfragen an, und das Ausfüllen von Fragebögen ist nicht aufwendig.
Dies ist eine der besten WFH-Nebenbeschäftigungen, während du Vollzeit in deinem Hauptjob arbeitest. Die Durchführung von Online-Umfragen führt jedoch nicht zu Fähigkeiten, die es dir ermöglichen würden, auf einer Karriere aufzubauen. Bessere Optionen sind daher Nebenbeschäftigungen wie die Arbeit als virtueller Assistent, da dies in einer flexibel erledigt werden kann, während du zusätzlich Geld verdienst. Umfragen bezahlen oft nicht direkt, sondern in Form von Belohnungen oder Punkten. Als virtueller Assistent erlernst du Fähigkeiten wie Verwaltungsaufgaben oder E-Mail- oder Social-Media-Marketing, was dich als Freelancer attraktiver macht.
5. Content Writer/Texter
Es ist ein Schreibjob ähnlich einem Blogger. Aber abgesehen davon haben sie sehr wenig gemeinsam. Als Texter schreibst du nicht über deine Leidenschaft, sondern darüber, was dein Kunde will und braucht. Es könnte ein Werbetext sein, die „Über Uns“ Seite einer Website, ein Blogbeitrag mit bestimmten Schlüsselwörtern, die brillant in den Text eingefügt werden sollen, oder Aufgaben, die ich in meinem Portfolio und meinen Blogbeiträgen über Content-Writing-Jobs und Geschäftsideen ausführlicher beschreibe. Was benötigt wird, ist ein gutes Sprachverständnis, ein umfangreiches Vokabular, die Fähigkeit, schnell zu recherchieren, Gedanken zu formulieren und sie in einfachen, klaren Sätzen niederzuschreiben, die einen Leser ansprechen. Außerdem bräuchte man angeborene Neugier, denn die Themen, über die man schreiben kann, könnten so vielfältig sein wie eine Reise in die Serengeti zu den besten zehn DSLR-Kameras unter 1000 Euro.
Lese hier einige meiner Artikel über die Online-Arbeit als Texter, Content Writer und Marketingexperte:
SEO bedeutet Suchmaschinenoptimierung. So klettert eine Website den Suchmaschinen-Seiten-Ranking-Algorithmus nach oben. Mehrere verschiedene Aufgaben werden von der SEO-Branche ausgeführt. Einige davon umfassen Keyword-Analysen, Traffic-Messung, Backlink-Überwachung und die SEO-Optimierung natürlich. Es ist keine formelle Schulung erforderlich, aber eine SEO-Zertifizierung oder sogar ein kostenloser MOOC-Kurs würde helfen, die Branche besser zu verstehen. Du kannst offensichtlich zunächst nicht den gesamten SEO-Prozess bewältigen, und es ist am besten, als Assistent zu beginnen, der von zu Hause aus arbeitet. SEO ist eine wichtige Fähigkeit für viele Online-Jobs und wenn du online in Deutschland erfolgreich sein willst, musst du wichtige Schlüsselwörtermerkmale verstehen und wie du diese in deinen Texten implementieren kannst, damit sie das richtige Publikum anziehen.
Deshalb teile ich mit meinen ClickDo-Kollegen an der SeekaHost University wichtige SEO-Fähigkeiten und Weisheiten, die mit den richtigen SEO-Tools in jeder Sprache angewendet werden können. Fernando Raymond, der # 1 SEO-Berater bei ClickDo, der auch Kursleiter an der SeekaHost University ist, teilt viele SEO-Tipps auf seinem Blog. Und du solltest seinen neuesten Leitfaden über PBN SEO lesen, um die vielversprechenden SEO-Strategien zu verstehen, die er verwendet, um Hunderte von Websites zu ranken.
7. Virtueller Assistent
Virtuelle Assistenten bieten Unternehmen weltweit administrative Online-Unterstützung. Bei so vielen Startups besteht enormer Bedarf für administrative Aufgaben. Ein virtueller Assistent arbeitet Teil- oder Vollzeit für ein Unternehmen oder Teilzeit für mehrere und hilft bei der Verwaltung aller Büroaufgaben. Vom Schreiben von E-Mails über das Verfassen von Rundschreiben bis hin zum Korrekturlesenvon Pressemitteilungen – für einen virtuellen Assistenten gehört alles zum Tagesgeschäft und du kannst die Dienstleistungen auf Deutsch oder Englisch über freiberufliche Plattformen wie Fiverr, Upwork oder Jobbörsen wie Indeed bewerben.
8. Social Media Analyst
Wenn du dich nicht von Instagram oder Facebook fernhalten kannst, ist dies der perfekte Job für dich. Ein bedeutender Teil des Marketings hat sich online und in die sozialen Medien verlagert. Es besteht ein ständiger Bedarf, den Veröffentlichungskalender zu überwachen und die perfekte Plattform zu finden, die einen hohen ROI für die Marketinginvestition bietet. Es erfordert ein gewisses Maß an Komfort mit Zahlen und Statistiken und die Fähigkeit, objektiv zu analysieren und einen Bericht zu erstellen, auf dessen Grundlage das Unternehmen seine Marketingstrategie optimieren kann.
Du musst verstehen, wie bezahlte Anzeigen auf Social-Media-Kanälen geschaltet werden undwie du mehr Likes und Shares für jede Social-Media-Kampagne erhältst. Dies beinhaltet auch ein gewisses Maß an kreativem und konvertierendem Social-Media-Text und Bild- oder sogar Videodesign, um jeden Social-Media-Beitrag so effektiv wie möglich zu gestalten. Viele deutsche Unternehmen werden vielleicht nur für ein paar Stunden pro Woche Unterstützung bei ihren Social-Media-Aktivitäten suchen, da sie möglicherweise bereits Marketing-Automatisierungstools verwenden. Am besten schaut man sich Online-Jobplattformen wie Fiverr, Upwork und Co. an, um zu sehen, was die aktuellen Erwartungen an solche Gigs sind.
9. Online-Gamer
Online-Gaming ist ein weiterer großer Geldbringer und in Deutschland ziehen Videospiele wie Minecraft zum Beispiel auf YouTube eine riesige Fangemeinde an. Für Minecraft-Fanatiker gibt es viele Möglichkeiten, von ihrer Spielleidenschaft und ihrem Können zu profitieren. Wenn du durch Online-Spiele Geld verdienen möchtest, musst du zuerst einen Minecraft-Spielserver erstellen. Du musst Zeit, Geschick und Mühe investieren, um den Server, eine einzigartige Minecraft-Welt und eine engagierte Community für andere Minecraft-Spieler zu bilden. Anfänger können einen Minecraft-Server von einem zuverlässigen Hosting-Anbieter wie SeekaHost kaufen und mehr darüber lesen, wie sie mit dem SeekaHost Minecraft Server Guide beginnen können. Probiere diese geldgenerierenden Wege aus, sobald dein Minecraft-Server in Betrieb ist:
Verdiene, indem du dein Minecraft-Spielerlebnis streamst: Erstelle einen YouTube-Kanal und füge eine Vielzahl von Inhalten zu deinem Spiel hinzu, z. B. Expertentipps, hinter den Kulissen Material usw. Du kannst ein anständiges Einkommen durch das YouTube-Monetarisierungsprogramm verdienen, das im oben genannten ClickDo Make Money Online Guide ausführlicher behandelt wird.
Verlange Geld für die Nutzung deines Servers: Sobald du deinen Server bewirbst und Leute dafür gewinnst, kannst du beginnen, Spieler für die Nutzung deines Servers zur Kasse zu bitten. Du kannst einen anständigen Betrag für eine fantastische Welt mit großer visueller Wirkung, Erweiterungen, Mods und mehr verlangen. Wenn Benutzer deine Minecraft-Welt mögen, kannst du Mitgliedsgebühren erheben, wobei du je nach Spieldauer, Funktionen usw. verschiedene Pakete anbieten kannst.
Erstelle ein “aufgabenbasiertes” virtuelles Währungsprogramm für Spieler: Richte deine Minecraft-Server so ein, dass Spieler eine virtuelle Währung zum Spielen verwenden. Du kannst einen bestimmten Betrag an virtueller Währung basierend auf den abgeschlossenen Aufgaben zuweisen. Diese Aufgaben können mit deinen Geschäftspartnerprogrammen und Werbevereinbarungen verknüpft sein und die Spieler ermutigen, deren Produkte wie Anwendungen herunterzuladen. Du kannst deine Spieler auch dazu bringen, die neuesten Anzeigen deines Sponsors anzusehen oder beispielsweise ihre E-Mail-Listen zu abonnieren.
Der Vorteil der Arbeit von zu Hause aus ist, dass du einige ausprobieren kannst, um herauszufinden, welche zu deiner Persönlichkeit und deinen Bedürfnissen am besten passen. Wenn du ein Blogger sein willst (und vielleicht auch einen YouTube-Kanal betreiben möchtest), brauchst du Vollzeit-Engagement. Jobs wie Dateneingabe und Online-Umfragen erfordern weniger Aufwand an Zeit, Energie und Kreativität, zahlen aber auch auf lange Sicht weniger. Eines ist sicher – dass der Trend online Geld zu verdienen anhalten wird.
Wenn du früh einsteigst und dich in der Branche etablierst, hast du sicherlich einen unschlagbaren Vorteil auf dem deutschen und internationalen Online-Arbeitsmarkt. Ich empfehle auch dringend, einen Blog zu starten, den du entweder als professionelle Online-Präsenz und Portfolio nutzen kannst, wie ich es hier tue,oder um deine Leidenschaft, Expertise und Wissen in deiner Branche zu teilen, wie ich es mit einigen dieser Blogs tue:
Du kannst Inhalte in verschiedenen Sprachen veröffentlichen, aber wenn du den deutschen Markt ansprechen möchtest, solltest du in perfektem Deutsch bloggen. Jede Art von Online-Plattform, die bei deiner Zielgruppe ankommt, kann dir die Aufmerksamkeit im Internet bringen, die du benötigst, um eine Online-Karriere aufzubauen. Sehen dir das Video unten an, in dem ich erkläre, wie du dich online über mehrere Blogs, Social-Media-Profile und mehr profilieren kannst, damit du deine eigene einzigartige Online-Präsenz aufbaust, die dich auf eigene Weise repräsentiert:

Now that working from home, telecommuting or working remotely is a new reality for many due to social distancing and lockdowns, I am preparing myself to teach and blog from my living room for the foreseeable near future.
Recent studies show that remote employees that work online from anywhere are far more productive than in a standard office as they require less time to get ready or commute to work.
Let’s see if I can put this theory to the test while creating a comfy home office with hopefully the best home office layout design I can come up with.
Analysis of my Current Work Situation at School and Home
So far, I have mainly taught in the classroom on a daily basis so this was my main work place. Here, I would have a desk with a laptop and I would spend probably one to two quarters of my day documenting, communicating and sharing my classroom work on the computer. The rest of the work day would be actively teaching, preparing activities, cleaning or tidying and of course most importantly interacting.
I have therefore never really set up a so called home office. I usually work on my laptop when blogging, sitting on my sofa, my bed or my bean bag when I am at home. With the majority of my time being spent using the computer during this isolation period, I probably will have to change that. Because apparently posture and efficiency are better in a properly set up home office.
How to rearrange the Home and Routine for a better Home Office Experience?
Online orders have shot up during national lockdowns and so it is only natural that I start to browse Amazon and Co. for some home office equipment. However, I don’t want to rearrange my whole living room, so I try to look into options to use the furniture I already have and how to optimise it.
What can I change in my living room/main home office space?
I have a dining table and an office chair. It’s a good height and provides sufficient space. During the first few days I work from here. I feel good, I hold video conference calls and write documents, emails, articles, but somehow I don’t enjoy facing the wall opposite me.
I remember that I have an empty space next to my big balcony window with a view out to Canary Wharf. I purchase a foldable home office desk with two slim tables that are adjustable in height and wheels so that it is mobile.
I create space for all my things and I feel better looking out the window every now and then and enjoying the light coming in. Another plus is that I’m not next to the fridge any longer, which is tempting to eat more and take more short breaks. Maybe because I am “locked in”, I have more of a desire to look out.
I improve my posture by alternating between working while sitting and standing up whenever I feel a need to. This also helps me from getting a stiff neck and back, which I tend to get easily. In between I can stretch or do a few yoga poses to refresh my body and mind.
What else to consider apart from the office space?
Since I won’t spend much at this stage, I want to focus on the basics plus the non-material aspects.
Light
Looking at the light, I feel having the desk by the window is a good choice as I’m utilising the natural light as much as possible. I won’t really need a desk lamp for most of the day and by that I also save energy. The sunlight streaming in doesn’t cause any disruption as my desk is in front of the wall, so not directly in the sun. We all know that natural sunlight has a lot of health benefits like being a good source of Vitamin D or increasing energy levels and productivity, so I’m happy with this decision.
Space Organisation
Taking a look at the organisation of the space around my desk, I have everything I might need to grab or get near me on my shelves. By that I’m avoiding time loss to fetch documents, gadgets or office tools. It’s not cluttered, but organised in different drawers and shelves, so it’s easily available.
Nutrition and noise
My living room is open plan and the kitchen is part of it. The good thing about it is that I don’t have to go far to grab a drink or food. The bad thing is that it can be tempting to take more snack breaks. However, staying hydrated throughout the day is important for a good performance level. And obviously eating healthy and light meals, so having fruits and vegetables handy should do the job.
The other aspect is noise. There aren’t many loud noises around me usually, but of course, preparing food in the kitchen can be distracting. If that was the case, I could consider wearing headphones, playing my music playlist on Spotify or my audio book on Audible. Another tip for people who work better with white noise are sites like Coffitivity or Noisli for background noise that improves focus and productivity.
Movement
As already mentioned, my adjustable desk allows me to stand up instead of sitting when I feel like it. While standing I could make calls, hold video chats and virtual meetings or record videos such as tutorials. Writing also works while standing, but works slightly better when being seated I feel in terms of my posture. Because my office desk is mobile, I can move it around in my living room, which enables me to watch something on my laptop while cooking for example. However, it is also important for me to allocate time slots where I stretch, do some yoga or a quick workout.
Scheduling
I realise that I need to structure my day more effectively. The morning is probably the best time to be active and use the energy to hold meetings, record videos, delegate tasks and make phone calls. The afternoon is more suitable for writing and editing tasks, where I have to be focused and should avoid interruptions through messages and phone calls. It’s obviously not always possible to stick to the schedule, but to have a rough outline of the work day helps to get things done effectively with a goal in mind.
Breaks should also be part of this. I usually take a snack break and a movement break every 2-3 hours. I have also found it useful to set myself goals for the day in the morning that are achievable in a day, which lead to achieving my long-term goals set out for the month or year. I use my Paulo Coelho planner for this and prefer to note it down in a handwritten manner.
Me-time
I start the day with a 10 minute meditation and a physical exercise to get ready for work. Mostly I do 30 minutes of yoga or HIIT exercises. This wakes me up, prepares me and helps me plan the day ahead. I just have a coffee and a smoothie before getting started with work. My couch is next to my desk so if I feel like taking a little time out, I can just briefly lie down or take my bean bag to the balcony to catch a bit of sun for a breather.
3 Lessons Learned From Remote Working during Lockdown #1
Lesson #1
Working from home has been challenging at times, especially with regards to delivering education in the same format and way as in the classroom at school and there are certainly many limitations to overcome in the future to provide remote learning and teaching at a high level that is satisfactory for everyone involved. I have covered these challenges in more detail on the UK Education Blog:
Overall, it has been a pleasant experience though for me personally. I felt I could be more productive while using the additional time I had for outstanding tasks, because I didn’t have to commute. I also had more time to exercise and communicate with others via video chat and messaging platforms and was therefore able to devote more time to pastoral or team-related matters. This was vital during this period of complete isolation from colleagues, students and all other social contacts.
Lesson #3
I can certify that improving my home office has helped me feeling better working on the computer all day long and has improved my focus and enjoyment while working. I would highly recommend an adjustable and mobile desk to alternate between standing, sitting and moving around. There’s a reason why Microsoft Eyes Guard reminds us to take short breaks every 30 minutes or so. One should also bear this in mind when scheduling meetings to ensure they have 5 minute breaks in between each. I have written articles about home office improvement options:
