Why I Started

I started this blog in October 2020 with one simple idea: test ways to make money online myself, then share honestly what works, what doesn’t, and how much I really earned.

I’m the kind of person who needs to see if something works for myself first. When it does, I share it on my platforms so it can benefit the people around me. I believe in results, not just talk: facts, with proof that something really helped me or someone else.

What I Do

I’m not a millionaire, and I won’t pretend this is easy money. I’m a regular person building online income step by step, and I show my results with real screenshots.

If something didn’t help me, I won’t share it with anyone. But when I see a good opportunity, I test it first, then share it on the platforms I use personally. That’s mainly what I do here. So when you see people online claiming things you don’t understand, look into them and check whether their results really match what they say.

Here’s what I’ve tested myself:

• Online surveys and micro jobs: paid surveys and research studies (including Respondent.io), with payment proof, since 2015
• Honeygain: passive income from sharing my internet connection, with payouts since 2021
• Affiliate marketing: promoting tools I use and earning commissions, since 2019
• Freelancing and digital products: Fiverr, Udemy, and my own ebook, since 2022
• ETF investing and stocks: long-term investing in the S&P 500 with Trading 212, since 2023
• And other online businesses I’ll add to this list soon

One lesson I’ve learned: when it comes to online business, never start alone. Work with people who are better than you, so you learn more and get better every single day. Practice makes you a pro, and it improves the ideas you already have.

My Journey and Real Results

I started hustling online in 2015. At first I didn’t take it seriously; it was just for fun. I used apps like FeaturePoints that pay you in points, which you can convert into cash once you reach the payout threshold, usually between $1 and $50. It wasn’t a lot, but in 2015 it was a lot of cash for a young guy like me.

In 2022, I started taking it seriously. Since then, I’ve been earning $100 to $300+ per month online. Here’s what each business model has brought me.

Online Surveys and Micro Jobs (since 2015)

I started by earning rewards on survey apps and websites. You collect points, and once you reach the cash-out amount, you request your payment and receive the money from the app. In total, I’ve made $5,000+ from surveys and micro jobs, all in my free time around my 9-to-5 job.

Freelancing and Digital Products (since 2022)

In 2022, I started creating digital products and offering services as a business model:

• Udemy: I published my own course on CapCut video editing.
• Fiverr: I offer article writing, so when someone needs a blog post or article, they hire me to get it done.
• Ugodspower: I created my own ebook on affiliate marketing, a step-by-step guide to the strategy I use myself.

So far, I’ve made $3,000+ from my digital products and services. Having your own digital product or service is one way to earn real money for a lifetime, because you can keep offering it to your audience.

Affiliate Marketing (since 2019)

Affiliate marketing is a business that costs no money to start but takes time and strategy. Why start affiliate marketing? It’s simple and free, and consistency is the key.

I’ve made more than $10,000 with affiliate marketing. Here’s one secret I’ll share: focus on what people are already searching for, and on programs with recurring commissions, like SaaS tools, marketing platforms, and other high-paying web apps. Blogging is one of the best ways to promote products online, and it’s easy once you really know what you’re doing and how blogging works.

I earned this through blogging, running ads on my website, and promoting alongside it. Affiliate marketing is the business model that can really pay you while you sleep.

ETF Investing and Stocks (since 2023)

I started thinking about how I could earn money without doing anything active, while still getting a good return. That’s when I came across the S&P 500 ETF.

What is an S&P 500 ETF? It’s a fund that tracks the S&P 500, an index of about 500 of the largest companies in the US. Instead of buying shares in each company one by one, you buy a single ETF and get a small piece of all of them. It’s a simple, low-cost way to invest in the US stock market as a whole.

When I started, I took my profits out whenever I gained a little. I learned the hard way that this was costing me, because I wasn’t investing for the long term. Now I invest for the long term and let my gains reinvest automatically. So far, I’ve made $1,000+ from ETF investing.

This business model takes time before you see results. It’s not a get-rich-quick system, but if you take it seriously and focus on the long term, you can see good results.

Important: Always do your own research before investing. Everything I share about investing is for educational purposes only. I’m not a financial advisor, and nothing here is financial advice. Thank you for understanding.

What I Share, and What I Don’t

Those are the strategies I’ve tested and used. I only share what I’ve used myself. If I haven’t used something, I’ll clearly tell you, so you can take your time to research it before deciding if you want it. Being honest with my audience about this is very important to me.

What I Can Do For You

I can help you understand your business better: find the weak points you can’t see yourself, then break through them with a step-by-step plan.

I don’t work on every type of business. Here’s what I can help with, and I have guides on each of them:

• Affiliate marketing
• Online surveys
• Understanding how ETF investing works
• Freelance projects
• App testing for developers who need testers before Google Play approval
• And more

I don’t have an answer for everything. But once you explain your situation, I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help you or not, because I believe transparency is the key to building a better business and good working relationships.

A Final Word

What I want you to understand from this page is that I started from somewhere. Everything you see today didn’t happen overnight. There were times I gave up on everything and came back again. It’s all about self-discipline and knowing how much you want it. Nobody will come and fix your problems in life; only you can do it by learning, applying what you learn, and becoming better than before.

Thank you for being here.
