So, you have a laptop with an internet connection. Congratulations β you're holding a goldmine.
Whether you're looking to earn a little extra on the side or build a full-blown business from scratch, everything you need is already at your fingertips. The real question is: Where do you start?
That's where we come in. Below, we'll tell you everything you need to know to make money online, including the most profitable gigs to consider.
30 ways to make money with your laptop
There are countless ways to make money with your laptop β but not all of them are worth your time.
To save you the hassle (and the trial-and-error), weβve done the heavy lifting and rounded up 30 of the most effective, profitable, and beginner-friendly ways to turn your laptop into a money-making machine.
Content creation
1. Earn a steady income with freelance writing

Freelance writing can earn you a lot of extra money. Here are the top five earning niches, and how much you can make if you target your freelance writing towards these industries.
- Technical writing: Technical writing includes things like manuals, user guides, and technical documentation for products or software. A good technical writer can earn up to $750 per article.
- Financial writing: Financial writers produce content about personal finance, investment, and economic trends. With financial writing, you can look to bring in between $200 and $500 per article.
- Healthcare writing: Medical and wellness content is a huge industry. This includes everything from medical trends to disability blogs and articles to holistic medicine. Healthcare writers can make up to $600 per article.
- Cybersecurity writing: Someone able to succinctly write about cybersecurity, especially in a way that translates it to a non-technical audience, can look to earn between $300 and $800 per article.
- Grant writing: Grant writing is a different type of freelance writing, but one that has the potential to make the most money per successful proposal. A grant writer is generally paid a base fee (around $2,000 to $4,000 for a small grant), as well as a percentage of the grant if it's successful. For a grant writer who would rather charge by the hour, $50 to $150 is a common figure.
To start looking for freelance writing jobs, you can use platforms like LinkedIn, Upwork, Reddit, or Indeed.
- What you need: Writing skills, creativity, and field-specific skills like technical knowledge for technical writing or marketing for copywriting
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $50-$3,000+ a month, depending on the field
2. Sell stock photos

Taking stock photos to sell has always been a great way to earn some initial and even possibly passive income, depending on the terms of the sale.
But, with the explosion of amateur iPhone photography and now AI, it's a more competitive market.
But that doesn't mean it isn't still worth it. It just means that if you want to sell your images as stock photos, you have to be smart about it. It's not all about photo quality β do some market research to figure out the most in-demand stock photo types.
Websites for selling stock photos include:
- Shutterstock
- Adobe Stock
- iStock
- Alamy
- Depositphotos
With stock photos, you'll likely be paid per download or purchase on a monthly or yearly basis.
- What you need: A phone or a camera
- How much it costs to start: Free to $22.99 for editing software like Photoshop
- How much you can make: $5-$100+ per image
3. Run a blog and monetize it
Anyone can start a blog β and you can write about virtually anything. But if youβre hoping to make money from it, your blog niche matters.
Hereβs a pro tip: Blogs that offer helpful, actionable, or problem-solving content tend to outperform personal or diary-style blogs when it comes to monetization. In short, the more useful your content is to readers, the more potential it has to generate income.
But how do you make money with a blog? By selling to your audience and earning from ads placed on your content.
For example, Pat Flynn of the Smart Passive Income blog no longer shares his income, but when he did, he reported over $50,000 a month from a combination of affiliate marketing, sponsorships, and digital products.
You can monetize your blog with Whop by offering your readers something extra, from online courses to access to a special, exclusive community just for you and them.
- What you need: Writing and marketing skills
- How much it costs to start: Free to $10 for hosting or premium subscriptions to hosted solutions
- How much you can make: $50-$3,000+ a month
4. Start your own podcast

Podcasting is one of those jobs you can not only do from your laptop but also in your pajamas. To start your own podcast, you need a podcast idea, equipment, and a quiet place to record.
You can invest in quality sound and editing equipment, or you can start with what your laptop already comes with and increase in quality as you go. Both have their benefits, depending on your initial financial situation.
Make sure you start monetizing your podcast early, and as soon as you have an audience that supports it, diversify. You can host live events, use affiliate marketing or direct sponsorships, or even create a subscription on Whop to let your followers get some extra VIP content.
- What you need: A recording device and audio editing software
- How much it costs to start: Free to $50+ for equipment and audio editing software
- How much you can make: $50-$5,000+ a month
5. Create your own YouTube channel
The chances of you becoming the next Mr. Beast or Dream are rare, but you can still make a huge amount of money with a YouTube channel.
In fact, most full-time YouTube creators make a living for themselves without even cracking a million subscribers. Jessica Stansberry, a digital marketing expert who makes videos about automation, makes $50,000 a year with just over 200,000 subs.
Lifestyle vlogger Kelly Stamps has 700,000 subscribers and reports her income at around $90,000 a year. It may require some dedication to the grind as you build your subscriber base, but it can pay off in the end.
You don't even need to show your face to make money on YouTube. Faceless reels are also an option. Of course, the most successful channels are the ones that can't be replaced by a computer.
- What you need: Video editing skills
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $50-$10,000+ a month
6. Work as a copywriter

Marketing agencies, ecommerce companies, startups, content platforms, and nonprofit organizations all need content to flesh out their online presence β and they're willing to pay for it. That's where you come in with your copywriting skills.
Many copywriters charge per project, in which case you may get between $50 and $3,000 or more depending on your skills and portfolio. Typical hourly rates range from $20 to $100.
Here are some tips for standing out as a copywriter:
Build your portfolio: Without some samples of sales copy, newsletters, press releases, or landing pages, most companies won't consider hiring you as a copywriter. You can build your portfolio by freelancing or preparing unpaid samples.
Network: Join copywriting groups on LinkedIn, Reddit, Discord, and elsewhere. You can get advice from working professionals and maybe end up with a job from it.
Pitch to clients: Don't be afraid to go directly to clients. You can reach out using email or LinkedIn.
Share your content: Another good way to make sure you have plenty of examples of your writing is to start a blog or share content on social media.
- What you need: Writing and marketing skills
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $50-$3,000+ a month
7. Start making money through Instagram

You don't have to be an influencer with millions of followers to make money on Instagram. Micro-influencers like Emma Cortes ($60,000 a year) and Taylor Lorenz ($40,000 a year) make a full-time living through sponsored content and brand partnerships.
The key to their success is that both of them understand how to work their analytics and work with brands that align with their audience.
Here are some tips that can help even micro-influencers bring in a full-time living on Instagram:
- Stay relevant: Work within your niche and keep your content consistent with that.
- Engage with your audience regularly: This can be responding to comments, having live streams, or posting polls. Engagement is what feeds the algorithm, so this time investment will pay out as more eyes on your content.
- Leverage the platform tools: On Instagram, you can include hashtags and location tags to appeal to people who may be seeking out your kind of content but didn't know you existed.
- Be aware of brand collaboration potential: You don't want to wait for a brand to reach out to you; if there's someone you want to work with, set up a realistic pitch and reach out to them. As long as you're professional and respect boundaries, the worst they can say is no.
Like most types of social media work, your top source of revenue will not be Instagram itself but rather monetizing Instagram in other ways.
- What you need: A phone, creativity, and content creation skills
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $50-$1,000+ a month
8. Turn clips into cash
You've probably seen some videos of YouTubers and streamers on TikTok or Instagram that were not posted by the original creator, but they still get hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of views.
Those are called 'clips' β short-form content that's taken from a long-form one, like a YouTube video or a stream.
Creators are now paying clippers to repurpose and post their content. Some creators spend tens of thousands on clipping campaigns.
By becoming a clipper, you can get paid to cut long-form content and post it on your social media. The original creator gets promoted, and you get paid - it's a win-win.
- What you need: Video editing skills
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $1-$1,000+ per clip
9. Create UGC

UGC (user-generated content) is an organic type of content that's created by everyday people, not influencers or professional content creators. What's important when creating UGC isn't how many people follow you, it's how authentic the content is.
You don't need an upfront investment, a following, or expensive equipment to become a UGC creator β all you need is the ability to create engaging and authentic content around products or services you already use and like.
To get started with UGC, check out Whop Content Reward to find paid UGC work, or build a profile on freelancing platforms to find work opportunities.
- What you need: Content creation skills (and video editing skills if you're creating video UGC)
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $10-$500+ per content, depending on its type
10. Make money with TikTok

Making money with TikTok works in the same way as Instagram and even YouTube, but each platform has its differences that you need to pay careful attention to. Here are some TikTok-specific tips:
- Keep your content short and attention-grabbing: TikTok is the platform least likely to keep users watching long-form content, so being concise is important.
- Use trending ideas, sounds, and filters: Content that feeds into trends is more likely to be shared by the algorithm.
- Pay attention to when and how often you post: Most TikTok experts recommend posting between one and three times a day. The best time to post depends on when your audience is most active, which you can find out using built-in analytics.
- Engage: This one counts for every platform. The more you engage with your viewers, the stronger their connection to you will be. That's vital for acquiring brand deals and sponsorships.
TikTok itself comes with a few ways to make money, from TikTok Live to brand partnerships. Many creators don't make any money from the platform alone, but once you hit 10k to 50k followers, you might get up to $125 per affiliate post.
By far the best way to make money on TikTok is to build your audience on the platform and then direct them elsewhere. With Whop, you can set up a private community for your followers, sell them ebooks, or let them participate in your online courses.
- What you need: Content creation and marketing skills, and a phone
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $10-$500+ a month
Digital products and ecommerce
11. Create and sell your own online courses

Online courses are some of the top-selling digital products. They can be made once and sold over and over again.
Courses typically sell for anywhere between $50 and $500. It's a broad spectrum, so check out how to price your course the right way.
If you want to make and sell online courses, you can do so in just five easy steps:
- Pick a niche: It should not just be something that you're pro at, but also something that sells, so dig into that market research!
- Create your course: This process involves outlining and then actually writing out or filming the materials.
- Choose a platform: With Whop, uploading your course and all associated materials only takes a few minutes, and you keep 97% of each sale.
- Market your course: For this, you have to figure out where your audience gathers so you can sell to them and how much they're willing to pay.
- Launch your course: That's the fun part β set it free into the world and watch it make you money.
Some courses are evergreen and don't require many updates, but the ones that'll earn you the most money in monthly subscriptions are the ones that stay updated frequently.
- What you need: Expertise in a field and video editing skills
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $50-$500+ per sale
12. Write ebooks for a living

Ebooks are a booming market. Sales are expected to reach $21 billion by 2029, and the barrier to entry for writing one is basically non-existent. Ebooks can be fiction, non-fiction, self-help books, or even guides to topics ranging from finance to cooking to pet grooming techniques.
Ebook prices are all over the place. You'll find books selling for less than $1 and ebooks that cost $200 and upward. The price depends on the value you're able to provide to the reader.
Some of the most popular ebook niches include:
- Personal growth and self-help
- Marketing
- Health
- Ecommerce
- Finance
- Fitness
- Specialized recipe books
- Investing
- DIY guides
- Wellness
- Test prep
- Parenting
- Dating
- Cryptocurrencies
- How-to guides
- Fiction
You can sell your ebooks easily with Whop. For even greater profit, bundle them with other products, such as an online course.
- What you need: Writing skills, editing software knowledge (like InDesign) and knowing how to use AIs if you're looking to get AI assistance
- How much it costs to start: Free
- How much you can make: $5-$50+ per sale
13. Make or resell PLR digital products

Don't want to make your own ebook or course? With PLR (Private Label Rights), you buy digital products from the creator and rebrand them as your own.
PLR products are often sold in bulk, so you can buy a bundle of, let's say, 100 digital planners and customize them. You can turn them into things like ADHD habit journals, weight loss trackers, or seasonal journals, and sell them at a profit. Most products sell for $5 to $50, but it all depends on what you turn them into.
There's also another way to make money with PLR: designing the products yourself. If you can make a product someone else may want, you can then sell it to them and let them customize it however they'd like.
- What you need: Marketing and editing skills
- How much it costs to start: $20-$200+, depending on your initial purchase
- How much you can make: $50-$500+ per sale
14. Design and sell print-on-demand

Print-on-demand products check a lot of boxes for some people. Passive income? Check. Only need a computer? Check. Ability to produce on a flexible schedule and be your own boss? Extra check.
Print-on-demand creators can easily make up to $5,000 a month as long as they can produce enough content and market themselves well enough.
You can choose to make your designs and upload them somewhere for your customers to get them printed directly, or sell the designs and let the customer figure out where to print them.
Some of the most popular platforms for this include Redbubble, Teespring, Amazon Merch on Demand, and Society6.
- What you need: Unique designs, marketing skills, and a reliable print-on-demand supplier
- How much it costs to start: $20-$200 for commissioned designs and store subscriptions
- How much you can make: $20-$3,000+ per month, depending on your marketing and designs
15. Open your own dropshipping business
Dropshipping lets you run an online store without holding inventory. You set up your storefront and select products to sell. When a customer makes a purchase, the supplier ships the item directly to them.
Dropshipping is perfect for anyone who wants a low-cost, low-overhead business. You can set up dropshipping stores on platforms like Shopify, eBay, Amazon, AliExpress, and Etsy.
If you have a little more capital to work with and don't mind holding inventory, you can also look into reselling instead. The concept is the same, but you can carbe out some higher profit margins.
- What you need: Capital for initial purchases and supplier connections
- How much it costs to start: $50-$500 for samples, marketing, and store fees
- How much you can make: $100-$3,000+ per month
16. Begin reselling online with digital dropshipping

If you want to make money from your laptop, digital dropshipping is one of the easiest ways to do it. You don't need much upfront investment; you also don't have to worry about shipping or storing inventory.
Digital dropshipping works on an affiliate basis. You don't have to create the product yourself β that's the whole point. You just need to build an audience that might be interested in buying a digital product, such as an ebook or a course, and then funnel sales to the original creator.
In return, you'll get a piece of the pie, with income ranging from $10 to $1,500 (and way, way more) per month.
- What you need: Marketing skills, including basic content creation
- How much it costs to start: $0
- How much you can make: $10-$1,500+ per month
17. Make and sell digital products

The term "digital products" is pretty broad, but it's also pretty self-explanatory: digital products are anything that's not a physical product. SaaS? Digital product. Courses? Yup, also digital products. Discord access? That's rightβdigital product.
Because of this versatility, digital products are great no matter the venture. They're loved by both mental health wellness coaches and cutting-edge stock market experts.
They can be tailored to make an active or a passive source of income, too, and there's no cap on how much you can earn; some of the top creators on Whop earn $250,000 per month.
Even if you won't get there in your first months, the average Whop creator earns more than $7,000 per month.
Whop is the easiest way to start making and selling digital products. You can add apps that reflect what you want to sell, such as the Files app for ebooks and worksheets, to Courses if you want to upload course materials with quizzes and presentations.
- What you need: Content creation/marketing skills and a good digital product idea
- How much it costs to start: $0
- How much you can make: $20-$2,000+ per month
18. Develop and monetize Whop apps
Turning your idea into an app can be a game-changer β plenty of developers have made impressive money by simply identifying a problem and building a solution.
Think of apps that estimate calories from a photo of your meal, or habit trackers that use gamification to keep users motivated. With the right concept and execution, even a simple app can take off.
Luckily for you, developing apps is much easier than before, thanks to recent advancements in AI. But still, you're bound to face some difficult steps like integrating user authentication or payment processing.
This is where Whop SDK (software development kit) comes in. By using the systems provided by Whop, you can integrate all kinds of features into your app, pull data from Whop, and much more. Check out our developer documentation to get started.
Plus, if you're looking to create an app with AI support, you should use our AI docs to feed it to your preferred LLM so that it knows everything about creating apps with Whop.
- What you need: A good app idea and coding skills or knowing how to use AI platforms
- How much it costs to start: $0-$20, for AI subscriptions
- How much you can make: $100-$1,000+ per month
19. Create and sell low/no-code websites

If you have experience in coding languages like CSS, JavaScript, and HTML, you might already know how to build websites. Don't worry if you don't - what's important is your creativity, since AIs can create websites in a matter of seconds now.
Whether you're an experienced web developer or not, using AI and your creativity to design and sell low or no-code websites to clients is a good way to make money online. These types of websites can be done with platforms like Bolt, Lovable, Webflow, or WordPress.
By targeting small, local, or startup businesses, you can easily find clients to work with. You can alternatively set up a store page for yourself on Whop.com or join freelancing platforms like Fiverr or Upwork.
- What you need: Web development skills, coding software, hosting/domain
- How much it costs to start: $20-$300 (AI subscriptions, hosting)

20. Set up an exclusive paid community
Yes, you can make money weekly or monthly by running a paid online community.
Paid communities are one of the best ways to make money online, simply because they work with so many side hustles. Are you a fitness coach? Run a supportive community and host live classes. Are you a gamer? Set up an exclusive whop for fans of the games you play.
With Whop, you can make money from running an online community easily. Simply create your own whop and add Whop apps to integrate the features you want β like chat, forums, livestreaming, courses, and more
- What you need: Strong communication skills, community platform, moderation skills
- How much it costs to start: $0
- How much you can make: $100-$5000+ per month, depending on the niche and community size
21. Run your own mastermind

Mastermind groups are a combination of support systems, networking opportunities, and brainstorming sessions. By hosting your own mastermind, you can bring together like-minded people who will pay for the opportunity to share thoughts and ideas.
These groups aren't the same thing as study groups, though. These are highly exclusive communities that only accept a certain amount of people with select skills and knowledge in the topic. To run a mastermind, you yourself also need to be an expert to build up an audience.
They're also different from paid communities in the sense that they don't run forever. A mastermind typically lasts for 4-12 intense weeks. Due to their nature, masterminds make for great high-ticket products, with some creators charging $1,000 to $15,000 for access.
- What you need: Organizing skills, optionally expertise in a field, marketing
- How much it costs to start: $50β$300 (marketing and paid management)
- How much you can make: $200-$1,500+ per session
Skill-specific and service-based ways
22. Become a social media manager

Social media management is one of those jobs that can earn you full-time money while taking far less time to do. Companies are often in need of someone who can run their socials and keep up brand engagement, but unless you're working for a big corporation, it only takes an hour or two a day.
This is because most of the hard tasks can be scheduled through social media management apps. You can set aside one block of time at the beginning of the week to plan out content, make any graphics or additional elements you need, and schedule the posts.

When you join a community on platforms like Reddit, Whop, or Discord, you'll see members with moderator or admin permissions - those are the community managers.
Community manager responsibilities vary by platform, but you'll usually be engaging with the members, enforcing community rules, helping members with various aspects of the community, and overall keeping the community a safe place.
You can find community management gigs on freelancing platforms or by directly getting in contact with existing communities and asking if they are looking for a community manager.

For some options, you may have to team up with companies or influencers directly. Others, such as becoming an Amazon affiliate, are more open to the general public and create a less personal working relationship.
Here are the areas that tend to offer the best affiliate marketing payout:
- Whop affiliates
- Finance
- Web hosting
- VPNs
- SaaS
- Health
- Fitness
- Gaming
- Beauty

Surveys may not bring in a lot of money, but they can be steady money in exchange for a small time commitment. Daily survey takers on Reddit report being able to make between $30 and $60 per week, but that's from multiple survey apps, not just one.
Here are some popular survey-taking sites that pay:
- PrimeOpinions
- Attapoll
- Prolific
- Survey Junkie
- Crowdtap
- Swagbucks
- Pinecone Research
Use a mix of these apps to maximize your income potential.

- How much you can make: $20-$60+ per week, depending on how many surveys you complete and what kind of survey types you participate in (online surveys, focus groups, academic research, etc.)
29. Learn how to invest

You donβt need a fortune to begin investing β just a small amount of seed money and the willingness to learn. If youβre new to it, the process might seem overwhelming at first, but sticking to simple strategies can make a big difference. Start small, diversify your investments, and avoid putting all your eggs in one basket to reduce overall risk.
Remember: investing is a long-term journey, not a quick win. Reacting emotionally β like pulling your money out at the first sign of a dip β can hurt your returns more than market fluctuations. Stay the course and think years, not days.
If you want more advice, then the best way to get it is to find communities where investors gather to discuss the best prospects. You can find plenty of options on Whop. We also have a list of the best investing Discords.
- What you need: Starting capital, dedication, and trading platform knowledge
- How much it costs to start: $50-$100+ for the starting capital
- How much you can make: Depending on how well your investments go, you can make nothing to tens of thousands per month.
30. Use money-making apps

- Survey apps like Swagbucks or Survey Junkie
- Cashback apps like Ibotta and Rakuten
- Microtask apps like TaskRabbit or Clickworker

Use a few apps at once to make even more money!
- What you need: Time availability, a phone, a vehicle (for apps like Lyft and Uber)
- How much it costs to start: $0

FAQs
Is it possible to make money just with my laptop?
It's absolutely possible - everything from freelance writing to selling online courses can be done with just a laptop and internet.
How do I know which idea is the best for me?
To decide which idea is the best for you, you should first think about what you enjoy doing and you're good at. If you use social media a lot, you might want to give social media management a go, if you're using community platforms and spend a lot of time on your computer, community management might be the perfect hustle for you.
Can these ideas be done while working a full-time job?
Some ideas need more time investment (like dropshipping or running a paid community), but others can be done while working a full-time job, like learning how to invest or creating your own online course.
Do I need special skills or education to start making money with my laptop?
It depends on what you pick. Freelance copywriting needs writing and marketing skills, but paid surveys need zero experience. Some gigs, like video clipping, are super easy to learn.
