When it comes to making money online nowadays, it seems like there are so many fake videos out there and scams, people not giving out real information on how to do this. So in today's video, I wanna give you the two best online businesses that you can start in 2024 if you are just getting started as a beginner. Now before we get too far into this video, I just wanna give you my credibility, and my proof so you know that this is honest information, and I can back it up with proof.
My name is Greg Gottfried, and I have been building online businesses for just about 10 years now. In the process, I have tried all of the popular ways to make money online, and I figured out which ones actually work. Now in the time that I've been doing this, I've made over $3 million in profit already from online businesses, and with this YouTube channel, I'm trying to give you guys the real information of what actually works without all the fluff or scams or any of the selling snake oil that people are doing nowadays.
So with that being said, this video is going to be straight to the point. I'll show you on screen recording, and I'm also going to explain two really good business models that you can get into in 2024 as a beginner in online business. Now the first of these businesses is going to be the very easy one.
So if you're just getting into this, and you want something that you can really just get started today and start making some profit from, the first one's going to be that one. Now the second online business is going to be the business model that I really, really like for 2024 and going forward. It's one where artificial intelligence can't really compete with, and if you get into this business model, and you really invest into it, you are going to make a ton of money from it.
So the first online business for you if you wanna get started the easiest way is called Print on demand. Now essentially what print on demand is, is you create designs, and you upload them to print on demand websites, and they create basically a photoshopped virtual listing of what that design would look like on a T-shirt or a coffee mug or a hoodie or something similar that that company could print that design onto. And then it gets listed on that print on demand websites marketplace.
And when people come and browse through that marketplace and they see that design on the product, and they're like, hey, I wanna buy that, they can choose what size shirt they can choose what color, and then once that order is placed, the Print on Demand website actually prints your design onto that specific product that the person chose and ships it out to them, handles all the customer service, and us as the print on demand seller, we just get a split of the profit. So let's come over to the computer and let me show you a real example of this so you can kind of connect the dots of what this really looks like. So starting out with the biggest website that does print on demand, there are several others out there, but this is just amazon.
com. So when you go to Amazon, and you search for different types of T-shirts, so in this case it is fishing shirts for men, you're going to find different ones that are kind of like funny shirts. So you can tell it was kind of made by someone.
So to give you an example, I'm going to point these out for you. So this one right here, this is something that someone created. This is another one that someone created.
You're basically looking for things that have designs on them that would be printed as opposed to things that are kind of like a performance shirt. Now as you keep scrolling through here, you can see all of these are the same thing. Now when you click on any of these, I'll show you what this looks like, and how you can tell that it's done with print on demand.
Now when you come into this listing, you can see that this same design is offered on multiple different color shirts, and the image over here just kind of changes as if it was photoshopped. So you can tell that it's just a virtual listing of this. And then you can choose different types of shirts that this is printed on, men's, women's, children's, and then different sizes.
Now you can select any combination of all of these, and then when you add this to your cart, you can actually have it shipped to you with Prime, just like you were purchasing something from Amazon. Now the key here is that the print on demand seller, whether that's you or me uploading the design, hasn't done anything but create the design and upload it to Amazon. Amazon is doing everything else.
That's what makes this business model so beginner friendly. You just have to create the designs and upload them to the print on demand websites. Now as far as Amazon is concerned, if you see any listing that says Amazon Merch on Demand, that is Amazon's version of Print on Demand.
So that means that this listing is going to be print on demand created. Now with that being said, a couple pointers for you if you do want to get into the Print on Demand business model. If this sounds like something that you can do in your part-time, creating the designs is going to be probably the hardest part of this entire business model.
But there are tools that you can use to create designs based on pre-made T-shirt templates. So you're not creating all of your designs by hand. You don't need to be a graphic designer.
So let me show you one of those tools. This is the tool that I personally use for this. I just typed in fishing designs, and all of these are going to be customizable T-shirt designs that you can come in.
You can change the graphics. You can change what it says. You can change the font, and then you can download that and you can upload these to the print On Demand websites.
And just like that, you're creating designs. You upload them to the Print On Demand websites. They do everything else for you.
So with that being said, if you want to get into Print on demand, I have a full step-by-step print on demand tutorial, totally for free here on YouTube. I will link it down in the description. It goes through everything from the idea that you wanna start print on demand to how to get your first sales.
So that will be down in the description if you wanna try out this business model. That's where I would refer you to. So moving on from this first business model and getting into the second business model that I've alluded to is the one that I really, really like for 2024.
This one is called affiliate marketing done specifically with videos. Now if you haven't heard of affiliate marketing before, essentially what affiliate marketing means is it's a fancy way to say a company's referral program. So if you've ever purchased something from a company before, and they send you an email or something and say if you refer a friend or you refer someone who also makes a purchase from us, we will give you a $25 gift card or we'll give you a commission of something, whether that is an amount of money or a credit to buy more things from them.
That is essentially a referral program. So with the power of online marketing nowadays, if you know what you are doing, you can make a ton of money with affiliate marketing by creating videos about those companies with your unique referral link in the description. Now before I get any further into explaining this, let me show you a real example of this, so you can see exactly what this looks like and how easy this actually could be to do if you know what you're doing.
So coming into the computer, if you go to YouTube, I searched here just for best fishing rod for beginners. This is just a basic search that'll allow me to explain what this looks like. If you come down to one of these videos, this is "Top Five Rods for Bass Fishing, "Beginner and Advanced.
" So if you click on this video, this video is a video of someone recommending what would be their best recommended fishing rods for someone who is a beginner, maybe an intermediate, maybe an advanced, and why they recommend those specific fishing rods. Now when you come down to the description here, if you click more, you're going to find all of his affiliate links. So these are all his referral links to these specific fishing rods that he's talking about.
So let's say that you watch this video through, and you said, hey, I'm a beginner. I really like that first one that he was talking about. He says, hey, go look in the description.
The links directly to these rods will be there. You come down and you say, okay, this is the one he was talking about. You click on it.
It's going to send you directly to that rod that he's talking about, so there's no confusion. You don't have to Google it and try to find it on your own, and you can purchase this rod right here. You can put it in your cart.
However, the kicker here is if you drop this down a little bit here and you look at the specific link that you are actually on, now the website stays exactly the same. The price stays exactly the same, but at the end of this website link is a little thing that says from and then equals TBassin. Now if we go back to YouTube, and we look at the name of the channel, it is Tactical Bassin.
So when he created his affiliate link for this company, he just shortened it to TBassin. So now anything that I purchase on this website after I've clicked his link from YouTube and come over to the website, he is going to get paid a commission on from this website that sells this rod. That is the power of affiliate marketing is that you can create a YouTube video or you can create a piece of content that can reach tons of people all over the world, and then when they click on your link, and they go to the website, anything that they purchase on that website, you are going to get a commission for.
Now the kicker to all of this, and the reason that this business model is so scalable, and you can make so much money is that the guy who created this video created it back in 2021, and the video has 191,000 views on YouTube, and it's still ranking in the YouTube search. So when we were back here looking for best fishing rods for beginners, his video was uploaded two years ago, and it's ranking the second video on YouTube search. This video above it was uploaded four years ago, and it's ranking as the number one video in YouTube search.
This is an ad up here, so you can disregard that. This is the true organic search right here. So I could literally talk about this business model all day long telling you why it is such a good business model.
I've been doing this one on YouTube with multiple different niche specific YouTube channels that people don't even know that I own. It's just me behind the scenes trying to see how this works, and in the last couple years that I've been doing it, I've already made over a million dollars in commission. I know not a lot of people are sharing the good business models that you can get into right now, and they are working really well, and they're actually set up to work even better in the future.
A lot of people on YouTube are sharing business models that used to work several years ago, and since they've already done it, and they've already gotten in that space, now they're sharing that content. This is a business model that I am in with you guys. I'm personally doing it every day, and I can assure you from my own experience that it works extremely well.
Now I have been creating videos and uploading them to this YouTube channel totally for free on how to do this business model. However, for the first time, I have decided to create a private community that has a paid course where you can learn how to do this really step-by-step. Everything I know about this topic, everything I've learned over the last few years is all in this course.
So if you decide that this business model is a better fit for you than the one that we previously talked about, print on demand, then I will also put a link to the full YouTube Affiliate Marketing Masterclass down in the description below. If you guys choose either of these two business models, I think you're going to be set up extremely well for 2024 compared to all of the other online business models out there. All right, guys, that is it for this video.
Hopefully that has brought a lot of value to you. If you don't mind, just give this video a thumbs up. That's all that I ask, and I will see you guys all in the next video.
