3) Web development / App development
If you have a little bit of idea of web design, you can be built small websites for local businesses.
Note: You don’t have to build heavy websites with a complex interface such as booking/ payment transactions.
You can just build an app or website which describes which services does the company offer. A static website would also do good.
Just link a custom domain to a hosting server, many hosting servers now are integrated with CMS ( Content Management System) like WordPress.
WordPress provides tonnes of custom-built templates for your ideas and business. Within a single click, you can install those templates in your hosting and start tweaking the template to achieve your desired UI.
Now in the case of android app development, there are websites like Thunkable which helps to design your app with the Just drag and drop method and it is very easy to learn. You will learn this just in a day.
4) Starting your own app
Yes, with the help of Thunkable.com if you can design an app for local businesses then you can also design your app. Not many complicated ones.
For example, you can design an app that sends 1 joke or 1 motivational quote to every user. This wouldn’t require much coding skills just like small drag and drop methods.
5) Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is the rising thing for monetizing websites among bloggers. Even if you don’t have a webpage still you can earn profit by posting links, you just need to have a social media page to post links.
Websites like Amazon and Flipkart have affiliate marketing schemes.
Even registrar websites like GoDaddy and Bluehost have their affiliate marketing niches.
6) Start a blog or a YouTube channel
