Of course, in order to choose the method that is right for you, you must first get to know and form a good idea about a large variety of ways to profit from the Internet, and then choose what suits you and start implementing it ... and this is what I will present to you today.

In this guide, I will put in your hands a large variety of real and legitimate ways to profit from the Internet, through which you can make thousands of dollars in profits, and rely on them as a primary source of income like thousands of other Arab youth who have succeeded in that.
Ways to profit from the Internet (detailed explanation of 20 different ways)

1. Profit from e-commerce

I can't take an article about ways to profit from the Internet at the moment and I don't put e-commerce in the forefront. It is known to everyone that e-commerce in the era of Corona in which we live is no longer just an option, but a necessity and a solution to a problem that all human beings suffer from now.

Reasons why starting an e-commerce business is an excellent choice right now

The outbreak of the Corona virus, which made most people prefer shopping without direct contact with others, and by the way, this will not change with the end of the crisis.
The online buying experience is easier, more flexible and time-saving.
There are plenty of platforms that offer great solutions that make the experience of creating a store easy and simple for everyone (we'll cover that later).
Recently, governments have become supportive of the idea of buying and paying online.
It is worth noting that the idea of e-commerce is one of the most important ways to profit from the Internet, and the idea is simply that you will sell products through the Internet.

This product can be tangible or intangible, and it is also possible to sell services instead of products as well, and the great thing is that you do not have to own a product at all… Follow and you will understand.

Steps to Getting Started in E-Commerce

Choose one of the e-store ideas.
Determine the source from which you will get the product, will you buy it from a factory or supermarket, or you will manufacture it yourself, or you will get it by way of drop-shipping.
Build your online store, and set it up to start selling with it.
Market your online store to generate sales.
Start selling through your online store and make profits, and always work on developing your business.

What is the best and easiest option to get started in e-commerce and why?

In fact, like the world of technology and the Internet, which is very flexible... Likewise, e-commerce is characterized by flexibility and the availability of many options.

For example, there are a lot of simple and easy options for getting started in e-commerce (I will cover one of them in a separate point below).
But here we will talk about the professional options, i.e. creating an independent professional store and selling through it, but even this case has a lot of options, the most important of which are:

Use of e-commerce platforms.
Hire a professional programmer to work the store.
Using WordPress and WooCommerce.

But what is the best professional option, which you can start with the fastest and easiest way?

The easiest and best option from my point of view is to use e-store creation platforms, and if you want to start directly with one of the best Arab e-commerce platforms... I highly recommend you to deal with the wonderful ExpandCart platform, for the following reasons:

Possibility to have a free application for your store.
The ability to link the store directly with Facebook and Instagram.
The ability to link your store with a lot of shipping companies and pay with the click of a button.
The possibility of creating a multi-merchant store.
They have a service called Launch My Store through which they will set everything up for you in your store and make it completely ready.
They have special contracts with the best shipping companies in most Arab countries at competitive prices.

2. Profit from affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the most important areas that currently exist for profit from the Internet, which is in short, that you market the products or services of others in exchange for a specific commission, and you get your commission upon completion of the sale.

In fact, the commission does not have to be in exchange for a sale. There are many affiliate marketing companies called CPA companies, which offer commissions for many small marketing services such as downloading applications, registering on websites, or entering personal data.etc.

The affiliate marketing system has become very popular recently, because it represents a genius and successful solution for the advertiser (the owner of the product) and for the affiliate marketer (you).

Through it, the advertiser can increase his sales significantly as a result of the presence of a large number of marketers working for him, and the marketer also through this system can achieve excellent profits from a commodity he does not own, The marketer here also has the opportunity to choose what he wants from the goods or services to market to them.

As a result of the advantages of affiliate marketing, many companies have recently opened a profit sharing system, and there are also many companies that specialize in affiliate marketing primarily.

Here is a list of some of the most important affiliate marketing companies:

Commission junction
Amazon
ClickBank
ShareASale
Linkshare

Also, recently, the idea of commission marketing has begun to spread in our Arab region. There are many famous stores such as Jumia, Namshi and Souq.com that have a commission marketing system, and as an Arab, you can work and profit easily through them.

The wonderful thing is that the idea of commission marketing is not related to a field, but it is a marketing idea that is used by many companies, stores and service providers, so you can profit by specializing in any field you want.

You can also earn in any way you want: a website, a social media account that has followers, a YouTube channel…etc.

For example, you are a twenty-year-old girl and you have an Instagram account with tens of thousands of followers, in which you talk about skin care… Why not look for cosmetics companies that provide affiliate marketing programs, and market their products on commission.

3. Profit from mobile apps

In the past, the idea of creating an application was an almost imaginary idea for many, but now with the emergence of application programs, the idea of creating an application and profiting from it has become an idea within the reach of many.

Steps to earning from mobile apps

1- Find an idea for an app

There are many ways in which you can get an application idea, but the main idea is to find a problem or need for the phone users, and work to solve the problem or meet the need through the application.

For example: the phone user needs wallpapers and pictures, he needs games, he needs songs and music…etc.

Any app you make to provide any of these things can be a great idea, but of course there are other creative ideas like social networking sites, educational apps, productivity apps, etc.

2- Make the app

There are many ways to make a mobile app, including:
Easily use an application tool such as Andromo, AppyPie or GoodBarber.
Hire an independent programmer.
Hire a specialized programming company.
Learn programming and do it yourself.
Rely on one of the freelance platforms such as Fiverr for independent selection of application work.

3- Promote the app and get customers to download it on their devices.

This step depends mainly on the quality of the application, but of course you have to make marketing efforts in order to get the right number of downloads to make a profit.

Some of the important ways to market a mobile app are:
Rely on influencer marketing.
Running paid advertising campaigns on social media.
Use a content marketing strategy (i.e. blogging on topics related to your application domain.

4- Start using one of the ways to profit from mobile applications.

Yes, there are many ways and strategies to profit from mobile applications, but I will not mention them here so that this part does not take longer than that… There are many ways to profit from the Internet that I still want to put in front of you.

But do not worry, I will not leave you like this, because we have a comprehensive guide on profit from mobile applications, in which you will find everything you need to know.

4. Profit from Blogging and Google Adsense

Profit from the Internet by blogging, and participating in Google Adsense, is one of the oldest and most famous ways to profit from the Internet at all.

The idea here is simply to choose one of the areas that interest you and have great knowledge about it, start publishing articles about this area, and then participate in the Google AdSense program to share profits.

Steps to earning from Google Adsense

Choose a field for your blog to specialize in
This is a very important step that will make a huge difference in your success in the future, and my advice to you is to choose one of the topics that interest you, and always feel a passion and love for knowledge about it.

The rate of visitors to your site is the first vital and pivotal element to make profits from this method, and in fact, to make good profits from Adsense, your site must get a large number of visitors.
So you find a lot of publishers relying on the Adsense arbitrage method to generate the best possible rate of profit.

At the end of this method for profit from the Internet, let me explain to you that by having the skill of writing articles … you can make profit from the Internet in many ways other than Google Adsense.

5. Profit from freelance platforms

This method is one of the best and easiest ways to profit from the Internet, in which you subscribe to a company that acts as an intermediary between service providers and those who want to obtain them.

Of course, to profit from these companies, you will play the role of a service provider, if you are proficient in any of the following tasks: writing, design, programming, translation, drawing, preparing introductions, reviews, video editing, photography, or you have any other skill that others need, you can profit from these companies.

The most important freelance platforms

1-Fiverr

6. Profit from Forex

Forex is an abbreviation of the English term Foreign Exchange Market, which is a huge market for the exchange and trade of foreign currencies, which daily turnover is estimated at trillions of dollars (that is, thousands of billions).
The idea of forex trading is simply to buy the currency when its price is low, and sell it when its price rises, but what makes things more interesting and possible to achieve huge profits is the leverage system provided by forex companies.

This financial leverage system (Financial Leverage) allows the speculator to speculate in large amounts without having to pay the full value of the trade, as he only needs to place a small deposit such as $100 (called margin), through which he can speculate with a trading value of up to $50,000.

Through the system of financial leverage, it is possible through a small amount as 100 dollars to achieve profits estimated at hundreds of dollars, but on the other hand, the 100 dollars can be lost in the blink of an eye.

In fact, this field is not for everyone, and it contains a lot of information and misconceptions, and many people make losses through it due to insufficient understanding before actually starting.

But on the other side, there are also many who make thousands of dollars a month through forex trading.

7. Profit from YouTube

YouTube is the third largest site in the world in terms of popularity and visitor rate, and it is also the second largest search engine in the world of the Internet. There are thousands of people around the world, hundreds of thousands, who make money from YouTube on a daily basis.

All you have to do to join this list and start earning from YouTube is to make a video worth watching.

It uploads it to YouTube, and participates in the revenue-sharing program that Google also provides to monetize videos.

We will not talk much here about YouTube and the steps to profit through it, because we have covered all the points and aspects of it in separate topics.

8. Profit from Facebook

Many believe that the profit from Facebook stems only from being an advertising platform, which can be used to generate profits in indirect ways (in fact, no one denies the power of Facebook's marketing).

But this narrow belief about the idea of profit from Facebook applies only to the past, but now there are direct ways to profit from Facebook (yes, the profits will reach you through Facebook directly), and the most important of them are:

Profit from Facebook through videos.
Profit from Facebook through instant articles.
Profit from Facebook through instant games.

9. Profit from link shortening sites

Link shortening companies are companies where you can put any link to give you another short link, everyone who visits this link sees some ads before going to the intended web address.

Some link shortening sites are basically advertising companies, and they share a part of their profits for everyone who shortens their links through them.

This company will give you a percentage of its profits if you get good visits to the shortened links through it. The genius thing about these companies is that they allow you to shorten any links whether you have them or not.

Therefore, the world of the Internet is in your hands to choose from it the links that suit your audience, and then start profiting.

10. Profit from Instagram

Instagram is one of the excellent platforms to make a profit from the Internet, but in indirect ways. It is known that Instagram does not give money to account holders, even if their followers are in the millions.

11. Profit from Website Proficiency Testing Services

There are websites specialized in providing services of a special kind to website owners. These services are to test the quality and efficiency of websites and their compatibility with the visitor’s experience and satisfaction.

Of course, these sites do not have enough labor to do the examination of every website to give real reports to customers about their sites, so they enable others to do the registration, and start testing and checking customer sites for a percentage of the profits.

This method of profit from the Internet is very suitable for you if you have sufficient experience in dealing with sites, and you can examine these sites to find out their weaknesses and strengths, such as their download speed, color compatibility together, ease of use ... etc.

Here is a list of the most important sites that you can profit from by evaluating sites:

12. Profit from Amazon

Amazon is one of the leading companies in the Internet world and is one of the companies that young people earn millions of dollars every month.

13. Profit from Google

Do not worry, this is not a mistake… I remember well that the fourth way to profit from the Internet was about Google Adsense, but here I am talking about something else, or to say something larger and more extensive.

Like the case of Amazon, so is Google… Many people know how to profit from Google Adsense and do not know the rest of the possible ways to profit from Google, there are 10 different ways you can profit from Google.

14. Profit from selling on Facebook Marketplace

Do you remember when I was talking about profiting from e-commerce… I mentioned that there are a lot of simple and easy options to get started in e-commerce and I’m going to take one of them… I meant selling through the free Facebook store.

Facebook Market Place is a free service that Facebook has made available for several years. This service allows you to display any product you want to sell in front of those who buy it, as it is a marketplace for displaying and selling products among Facebook users.

The way to add the product is very easy, and Facebook also works on the geographical distribution system, as it shows the products whose owners are in Cairo in front of potential buyers who also live in Cairo.

Facebook Marketplace is a great free and easy to implement opportunity to make money by selling products.

15. Profit from investing money through the Internet

This method is for those who have surplus money and want to invest it and make a profit through it on the Internet, the methods of investing on the Internet are very similar to investing on the ground.

Investing through the Internet in general means using money in a smart way to generate good returns as on the ground, there is a lot of way to invest money on the Internet.

Here is a short list of four main ways to invest online:

Investing online by buying and selling with a profit margin.
We can see investing on the Internet in this kind very clearly in the case of the trade in domain names (the domain name is the unique part of the website link ).
There are also those who trade in the websites themselves, through the famous site Flippa, which enables you to buy and sell websites or domain names.
Investing online by buying promising projects
There are a lot of smart projects that have appeared recently that have been bought by Internet whales, such as the WhatsApp application that Facebook bought, and the Souq.com website that was bought by Amazon.
In fact, to invest in promising projects, it is not necessary to have a capital estimated at billions of dollars, but investment is always present in all sizes.
Investing online by adopting promising minds
There are a lot of great creative ideas that remain in the minds, because no one will embrace them and turn them into reality. You can reach one of these minds and invest with him in implementing his idea and achieve fantastic profits.
But you have to deal intelligently and wisely to reach the right person, and then measure his idea on the scale of practical investment and ensure the profitability of the idea before anything else.
Online investment through stock trading (stock exchange)
Stock exchange or stock trading is a system that allows you to trade shares of major companies, as well as government bonds. By subscribing to a local or international stock exchange, you can buy shares and sell them after a while to achieve a good profit margin

16. Profit from file upload sites

File upload sites on the other hand are file download sites, which are used by a lot of internet users to download files that someone else has uploaded before.

These companies or websites are primarily advertising websites, as they offer free file downloads to users in exchange for viewing their own ads.

These ads bring them good profits, and they share a part of these profits with the owners of the files, and you could be one of them.

As you are looking to profit from these file hosting companies, all you have to do is find files that others need and upload them to one of these companies, and then you make people download these files through you, and then you get a profit.

17. Profit from followers on social networking sites

I discussed above and in independent ways profit from Facebook, profit from Instagram, and profit from YouTube, but I deliberately mentioned this method as an independent way to draw your attention that you can make a profit through your followers on any social networking site.

The idea here is simply to get followers who are loyal to you, and then start promoting anything to them…whether selling your own service or product or products from other companies on a commission basis.

Also, there are many companies that seek to communicate with influencers on social media, offering them good amounts of money in exchange for mentioning their brand and encouraging followers to buy.

Important points about profit from followers on social media

Specialization is very important here, as companies always seek influencers in the areas that are related to their products. For example, if you were a makeup artist, you would attract cosmetics companies to advertise with you.
Providing value and benefit to the audience is the only way to gain an audience, you have to remember that your audience will not trust you and will not follow you in the first place if you do not provide them with useful information and advice and help them solve their problems.
Don't be biased for profit, your audience will stop following you if they feel you are promoting something just to make money.

18. Profit from Jumia

Jumia is one of the very popular stores in the Arab region, especially in Egypt, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, and it has a large fan base in these countries.

In fact, the Jumia website offers great solutions and ideas, through which many Arab youth make excellent profits from it. Of course they offer a great affiliate program but that's not all.

Jumia also offers a program called j-Force through which you can buy from your personal account for the benefit of others with excellent commissions.

Also, through Jumia, you can own your own online store and sell your product easily, and take advantage of the shipping and payment solutions offered by Jumia.

19. Profit from performing tasks for business owners

This method of profit from the Internet is very similar to the method of profit from freelance platforms, but the idea here is that you will deal directly with the company or business owner.

The idea here is that you will use the skills you already possess, and try, through your acquaintances and through social networking sites, to reach business owners or companies, and offer your skills to them in exchange for money according to the agreement.

Of course, there is always an opportunity to learn new skills, if you find that they are in great demand.

Here is a list of some of the tasks and jobs that are very required in the world of online business:

Managing social media pages.
Designing images, logos and banners.
Design, edit and create videos.
Writing, translation, revision and proofreading.
Search engine optimization.
Programming and web design.

It is worth noting here that LinkedIn is a great way to reach business owners and companies, and with your smart and thoughtful activity on this site, you can attract these business owners to you without you taking the initiative to offer your services

20. Profit from creating an online project

In one way, we talked about blogging and Google AdSense, and in another, about creating an online store.

But in fact, there are many other ideas and ways to make a profit from the Internet by creating a project, whether through a website or through a smartphone application, or even through other sites that you do not own.

The ideas here are endless, but the key is this: Know the needs of Internet users, or the problems they want to solve, and do a project to solve these problems or meet those needs.

at the end i wish you all the success.
