Welcome to The Ultimate Guide to making money online in 2025 and if you're new here my name is tarun and I've spent thousands and thousands of arts for almost 5 years at College sacrificing all the fun Meetup friends parties just trying to explore multiple ways of earning money online and it was actually worth it because I've ended up making a lot of money through a lot of different sources while I was in college itself I've tried everything from doing multiple internships just paying me 5,000 rupees per month to writing content doing SEO for Pages building websites editing videos designing stuff for people making YouTube videos freelancing building my own agency and even trading where I actually lost some of the money that I've made and I promise if you can finish watching this video without skipping anything if you can take notes and follow everything that I'm going to talk about you will end up making at least some amount of money this year but again it's not going to be easy because if it was easy everyone would have done it there are five different sources with multiple branches inside them plus a lot of side skills and sources that we'll be talking about in this video but before that I need to tell you a story of one of my college friends to make you realize what it actually takes to start earning your first 10,000 rupees online so this was back in 2022 one of my college friends who had almost zero problems with his life he was completely normal just like us going to classes coming back playing with us and everything else was normal but one random day we get a call and we all realized that something bad has happened with his family and for the first time in his life his family is now dependent on him for money sounds scary right but this guy entirely changed after that day he used to wake up at 6:00 a. m. in the morning sending hundreds and hundreds of males applying for multiple internships you w believe me he got an internship in Just 4 days after that incident he used to go to classes come back and finish all the internship work by 5:00 p.
m. or 6 p. m.
in the evening and then he used to spend 3 to 4 hours coding and after that he used to spend some more time designing websites for people now despite all the hard work and being extremely talented you know how much he ended up making the first month 15,000 that's it but the best part he didn't stop over there he just continued doing the same thing again and again for months and months after the incident and cut to the last month of college after one long year you know how much he made that month earn 7 lakh rupes in profit in just one month now that's the power of hard work consistency upskilling and most importantly the power of not giving up so now I want you to remember that nothing comes easy you need to put in a lot of effort you need to make time for this you need to turn yourself into a different kind of Beast and only then you can expect some kind of result got it now coming back let's talk about the six different best source of income that you can explore in 2025 and what differentiates this video from the other videos on the Internet is that I'm not just going to tell you the names of the skills but I'm also going to tell you how can you learn them how much time should you spend to learn them how do you apply for internships and jobs or how can you start your freelance journey in that particular skill and finally I'll also give you an amazing set of resources to make your journey faster the first one which I truly believe which has a lot of potential for at least next four to 5 years is video editing but a lot of people make a huge mistake here because you can be a video edor earning 10,000 rupes a month or even 2 to three lakh rupees per month so what makes the difference it's obviously not just the skill level so what else simple firstly if you want to get started with video editing you need to know about different softwares we primarily use Adobe Premier Pro for entire timeline editing after fix for Motion Graphics and D resolve just for coloring everyone has their own preferences with softwares but I am personally a fanboy of adobe because of their continuous efforts in getting AI tools inside their softwares except that it crashes a lot diamer is always obviously much better at color grading and editing on fin cut is usually much faster now learning any of these softwares will take you around 20 to 25 days but most of the video editors are not really paid to know the software better sounds funny right but it's not because video ERS are usually paid the most if they can make the video look more premium by adding better colors better fonts better design and also if they can make the video perform much better on the platforms by making the flow of the video better by using storytelling techniques or different patterns in music so even if you know how to edit videos you'll only be paid in penuts if you don't learn the other complimentary skills so ideally you should be spending around 20 days learning how to edit the videos 20 days learning about design and everything and 20 more days consuming and replicating a lot of good videos on different platforms so that you can understand the patterns well and the more you practice the better this will get get and once youve edited three to four videos in different styles and formats you can make a portfolio website by using free tools like notion canva vix card. iio and you can start applying for internships and freelance work that's it it's that easy but I'll make it even more easier for you we actually hiring two video editors from my agency and if you want to shift to Bangalore work with me Sano and the rest of the team then you can find the application Link in the description below now coming back a lot of you guys might be buying your first laptop this year so don't make the mistake of buying a very low laptop I made this mistake during my first year and I've suffered for two years straight so don't do the same mistake now before we talk about the next one I'd like to take a minute and talk about a college which I recently visited in Hyderabad so I recently had like a speaker session at niit and oh my God I just loved meeting all the students over there if you're from niit and are watching this say hi in the comments but if you're not then listen to this carefully so basically niit is India's first futuristic Computer Science Education Institute which is trying to bridge the gap between traditional engineering and getting industry ready skills they have something called as a corporate btech model in which students work on Amazing projects under the guidance of over 1,200 mentors from the industry they also have a dedicated placements team to help students get the placements but what's more interesting is this this is one of those rare institutes which is trying to teach entrepreneurship skills to the students I mean not just teaching they also help their students in building MVPs securing funding and providing mentorship for their startups College Plays a very important role in shaping someone's future and if you get a college which supports you with your academics getting internships placements building your startups and even your content creation Journey then it clearly means that the founders truly understand what the future is M towards I mean the founders are from it Bombay Tri Hyderabad X Amazon ISRO and now they're trying to build the future of India so if all of this sounds interesting to you definitely check out the links in the description I mean just check it out because you never know this might be the perfect place for you now moving on to the next one a lot of people including myself used to think that there's not a lot of demand in uiux design but my entire perspective changed when I recently went to Mumbai where I met a lot of people and agencies who are making a ton of money using this and this is not just in the freelancing world even the uiux job market is expected to grow at a much faster rate in the coming future but there's a catch AI is getting better and better every single day and to be very honest it already started replacing the mediocre designers in the industry so if you're serious about making a career in this you also need to start using AI Tools in your workflow and get to the top 10% of the designers in the industry I mean we'll talk about different AI tools in the last part of this video but there's one one more thing that you need to know most of the mediocre designers just focus on making the good design like using good fonts good colors and good patterns but only the few top ones understand the human psychology well like when you open a website or an app where do you want the focus to be what are some of the most important buttons on the page how can you make it easier for the user to view and click those buttons what are some of the most important Texs on the page and how can you improve their visibility so the better that you understand all of the things the better it is for you now unlike video editing the clients are not content creators or individuals they're actually the startups who recently got funding or startups who are actually looking to improve their app or website so the way that you'll reach out to clients would be different there'll be more professional clients so it will also be the best if you can actually have good communication skills you'll be able to find out how to reach out to clients in the resource sheet which I mentioned in the description below check it out later now talking about the tools the industry standard is figma and honestly it don't even take you a month to learn this end to end and the earning potential as I told you it's a lot but it's hugely dependent on the clients that you're working with now the next one is even more tricky because there's only a very thin line between losing your job and not making any amount of money or ending up making huge amount of money with this in 2025 and ladies and gentlemen that is the ability to write well and as a matter of fact I want to tell you that most of the people who choose this skill don't end up making any amount of money at all because they don't understand the fact that writing is about selling a feeling plus sometimes providing research material to support whatever you're writing there are eight rules which I usually follow to make anything that I write 100x better rule number one if you're giving a piece of advice give it in the form of a story number two if you want to make something more legit and credible provide data if you want people to take action make it urgent if you want people to pay attention start with the controversy this works the best while you're writing YouTube scripts or Instagram reads number five if you want your writing to be powerful use shorter sentences if you want people to keep reading or keep listening to you end every sentence with a reason to continue just like the Netflix episodes if you want your writing to feel personal write how you talk and finally if you want to be remembered be unpredictable if you want to take a screenshot of this page and save it up for later this will be helpful for you throughout your life you see writing is the foundation to all the internet businesses and you can make anywhere from 50,000 Rupees to 2 lakh rupes per month just by writing stuff for people I mean just look at the number of Nast markets that you can explore you can write LinkedIn post for people for like 2,000 to 8,000 rupees per post you can write this YouTube scripts Instagram scripts you can write books landing page materials course materials so much more there's a huge potential but most of the people make one big mistake when they say writing they want to get into everything remember you can do anything but not everything so choose what you'll want to write for example if you choose LinkedIn ghost writing study how po go viral over there what kind of Po does better what kind of POS do not perform well study it in and doubt and once you finish all your Basics start reaching out to creators or Founders who have like a lot of money but not a lot of time because if you reach reach out to people or companies who don't have a lot of money how can they pay you a lot of money simple logic I mean just think about it you can also start approaching startups and ask them for work and I can guarantee you if you choose one of these nce writing domains and spend 3 to four months over there you'll at least end up making 20,000 to 30,000 rupees per month and guess what let me make it even more easier for you if you feel that you're decently good at writing Instagram posts scripts or YouTube short form content scripts we are hiring One content writer for our agency you'll have to move to Bangalore but it will be fun the link will be in the description below now we'll talk about some of the best AI tools which will help you ride better in the last part of this video now let's go to the next skill and this is kind of crazy but also one of the easiest ways to make money online for a lot of people if done well but not a lot of people talk about this and that is making your own digital products something like notion templates canva templates and using Nas doio top. or gumro to sell your own products but the problem is how do you even sell them as a normal 18 year old student who would even buy from you guess what there are people who would buy them you're just selling to the wrong audience for example if you're really good at making notion templates there are creators like me who would love to collaborate with you for example Sano one of my friends has a freelancer working with him who's really good at making these notion templates I'll also add his notion templates in the description below if you really want to be productive at your work you can definitely check it out but the point is if you're good at making these digital products you can sell them to creators either by charging them the onetime fees or probably by taking 10 to 15% of the commissions on all the sales that they do now one more example is you can use the combination of haen and 11 labs to make AI videos for Founders and creators so that you can save time for them and charge them on a per video basis or you can just use tools like wig studio webflow framer Doric to make really good websites for people and then sell them for 15,000 to 80,000 rupees based upon how complex the website is see the possibilities are infinite and here's the entire set of things that you can try out take a screenshot of this but it's not as easy as I just said it because if you're not good at making this digital products I I can guarantee you that you'll not make any money at all you're living in 2025 and no one cares about mediocre work you just have to be the best if you making websites make the best websites if you're making videos make the best videos if you're making templates make the best templates put your heart put your soul into the craft and no one would be able to stop you but if you slack off if you don't put in the efforts you would end up going nowhere you would again come back to YouTube and search for how do I make my first 10,000 rupees online stop it now whatever the skill that you pick whatever the business toel that you want to pick or let's say you don't even want make any money online there's still one thing that I would strongly recommend everyone to do in 2025 and that is to document your life to document your journey to document the things that you're learning on social media you don't even need to make videos like this you can just start posting on LinkedIn or Twitter about whatever the things that you're learning or the opinions that you have see the point is simple the more visible that you are to people the more opportunities you'll get and the more money that you'll eventually make so it doesn't matter if you're a doctor lawyer marketer or even a normal engineer you'll have insane amount of Ben it's once you start posting content so do not miss out on this opportunity in 2025 attention is the new currency when I first started making videos in 2021 I never knew that I'd have S lak people following my journey as was just a normal kid like you who was feeling insanely lost during covid holidays and when I first started making videos online I never knew that I'd end up directing ads for companies I never knew that I'd end up becoming the director for growth at a unicorn startup at the age of 23 I never knew that I'll end up making lacks and lacks of money through the agency that we are running I never knew that I'll end up having a team that I'll provide employment for for people as just a normal kid who was genuinely lost who didn't know what to do with his own life but you know what's the only difference between you and me during 2021 when I watched a similar video like this I took my first step and till enough I did not give up over one lakh students will watch this video and end up doing nothing but there will be a few people who would a few people like tan who would end up taking action and that would make all the difference now there are obviously more ways to make money for example making ugc content for the brand where you take a product use it make a video about it and then sell it to brands or agencies you don't need any kind of social media presence for it and you'll still be able to charge 2,000 to 3,000 rupees per B even this ugc thing is like so big that agencies end up making 10 to 15 lakh rupees just by doing this the world has completely changed the next 5 years will be the golden age to make money online and the AI tools are just making it more and more easier for everyone to do it and after a few years everyone would start doing the things that you're doing the competition will raise and it will no longer be as easy as in 2020 5 so now with that being said let's talk about some of the best AI tools which will help you during this journey to make money online the first one is runwayml it's mostly for video editors designers and creators it has a bunch of different tools and you should definitely check it out I also use flux AI to make thumbnails in which my face is trained the next one is captions Ai and I majorly use it to generate captions on my stories it also has a bunch of other AI tools like changing voice and all of those things you can also check out v.
