Effective Strategies to Earn Money Online: Proven Methods

You can use this seven-step formula to set up a steady income stream from literally anywhere in the world. The best part is that you don't need any initial capital, you don't need any social media followers, and you don't need any prior experience. In fact, I will show you step by step how you can pretty much get everything done for you. 

But there is a catch: if you don't have at least 15 minutes a day to focus on this one single side hustle, then it's not going to work. It's also not something that will make you a millionaire, but it is a good way to supplement your income in your spare time.

Don't worry; all the information shared today is available at no cost. It takes less than 10 minutes and, again, doesn't require any prior experience. My name is Kingsley Abbey, and first of all, we need to understand what a VPN is. This article is not sponsored by any VPN, and you don't have to buy anything. 

This is just to understand why this strategy works so well. A VPN is a virtual private network, and essentially, people use VPN software to change their IP address and location to stay protected from hackers and from people spying on them, even the government. So, if I'm in Bali, Indonesia, I can turn on a VPN that shows I'm in London, UK, and hackers will not be able to get my personal information. That's why VPNs are really important.

Step number two is finding the right affiliate programs. I actually found three of them that I want to share with you. The first one is from PureVPN. This one has fast payouts but is not the highest paying. It only offers 100% on signup and then 35% every single month, which isn't a lot because they're charging $20 a month. There are better ones, but it is a good option. They do have a potential for bonuses, but they don't give that to everyone, so this one is kind of misleading. Either way, you just register at no cost, become an affiliate, enter some basic details, and click submit.

The second VPN affiliate program is from Surfshark. This program is very similar: it pays fast but not the highest. However, the third one, StrongVPN, offers competitive commissions. If someone pays $20 per month, you get paid $40 on the first sale, which is notable. They are willing to lose because they know people need these VPNs and will keep using them. You can register at no cost, just enter some basic details to sign up as an affiliate.

For the next step, go to Google Gemini app and ask for the most trending and researched topics that people are reading about this week. Google Gemini uses real-time data from Google and Google Trends, so we get what people are searching for right now. Besides Google Gemini, you can also ask ChatGPT for trending topics. It seems like faceless YouTube channels are popular right now. 

The signup process for all these VPN affiliate programs is simple: enter your first and last name, email address, some details about yourself, and the web URL, which I will show you how to handle later because it is mandatory. For payout methods, at least with StrongVPN, only PayPal is available. If PayPal is not available in your country or you don't want to use it, go with another VPN program like Surfshark or PureVPN, which have other options.

Step number four: use Canva to generate an image like, which will be a promo image for our VPNs. Even though it may look scary, it’s free. I can also give this image to you if you want to download it for free. If not, create one yourself in Canva and proceed to step five: go to YouTube and search for the topics that Google Gemini and ChatGPT told you are trending this week. 

I'm going to search for faceless YouTube channels because ChatGPT said that is popular right now. If you search for that on YouTube, my video actually shows up first, so I'm using it as an example. You can use any video on this topic, even if it's a celebrity. Find a related video, copy the URL for the next step.

Use this free prompt that I will give you later in this article. Copy it and change the variables in brackets. Go back to ChatGPT, paste it, and tell it to write at least a 2,000-word blog post with a title related to faceless channels. You can even take the title of the YouTube video you found. Again, the video can be anything related to your topic, something trending that people are searching for. Use this exact keyword: faceless YouTube channels. ChatGPT will generate a high-quality blog article that we can use.

For the next step, use Medium to publish the blog article for free. This platform has helped me get traffic 500 views initially, then 13,000 views in May 2024. It may not seem like a lot, but it's a targeted audience. Take the full blog article, go to Medium, click "Write," paste the article, and in between the lines, embed the YouTube video you found by pasting its URL. This will make the article more engaging. Also, insert the image created with Canva or downloaded for free from the description. 

Create a call to action above or below the image, then grab your affiliate link from one of the VPN companies. Insert the affiliate link multiple times in the article to ensure visibility. Publish the article with the target keyword: faceless YouTube channels.

Even though Medium is great, it's kind of lazy. The way I mostly drive traffic is through my faceless YouTube channels because you can earn traffic without paying. One of my channels generates significant monthly ad revenue and has achieved substantial lifetime earnings. I have other channels with similar success, attracting considerable income and traffic by sending people to different affiliate links. For instance, one channel earned various amounts from ad revenue. These channels get millions of views, driving traffic to our affiliate links. 

ChatGPT even acknowledges my expertise in faceless YouTube automation channels. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below. I hope you found this article valuable. If you did, please stay tuned for more.
