💰 5 Legit Ways to Make Money Online That Actually Work in 2025

Since sis, the internet is a whole bag — if you know where to look.

Hey bestie!

You already know I'm not here to sell you a dream. I'm here to show you how I went from "let me Google this real quick" to turning the internet into a stream of coins — and how you can do it too.

If you've felt inundated with all the "get rich online" noise out there, girl, I gotchu. Today we're keeping it cute, real, and strategic with 5 ways to earn money online in 2025 that actually work.

Let's dive in.

1. Remote Customer Service Positions (aka… Secure That 9–5 From Your Couch)

Sis, the world of remote work is still booming — and companies are always looking for customer support reps, virtual assistants, and admin pros.

Where to look:

The Glam Care Hub (yes, my baby — we're getting women hired every week!)

We Work Remotely

Remote.co

Working Solutions

Pro tip: Get a clean resume, write a short but confident cover letter, and practice your video interview answers. You got this!

2. Sell Digital Products

Think: Canva templates, Notion planners, Instagram graphics, eBooks, online courses — if you can teach it or design it, you can sell it.

You create it once and sell it over and over again? Yes please to passive income!

Where to sell:

Etsy

Payhip

Gumroad

Stan Store

Example: I've seen sis on TikTok earn $1K+ a month from a digital budgeting planner she made in Canva. LET THAT SINK IN.

3. Freelance Writing & Content Creation ✍????

If you’ve got a way with words, brands and blogs are out here begging for content. And with AI everywhere now, quality human writing is more valuable than ever.

Where to find clients:

Fiverr

Upwork

ProBlogger Jobs

Pitch directly to your fave brands!

Niche down = more money. Think: “I write skincare blog posts for Gen Z brands” vs. “I just write.” Specificity = coins.

4. Affiliate Marketing

This is where you get paid for promoting products you love. You don't need a huge following — just trust and good content.

Where to start:

Amazon Associates

ShareASale

LTK

Impact

My favorite? Link that Amazon skincare find or that cute dress and get paid every time someone clicks "add to cart."

5. UGC (User-Generated Content)

This is where you create content for brands to use in their ads and social media — no need to post on your own feed. YES, even with 300 followers.

Where to find/get started:

UGC Creator Hub

[TikTok search: "UGC creators for beginners"]

Reach out to brands directly via DM or email

???? Pro Tip: Film a 15-second video review, post as a sample, and tag the brand. Get on their radar!
