2. Dropship - Dropshipping now is very common in Malaysia as people tend to sell products without capital to earn extra money with their extra time. First you must search for a suppliers who have a lot of stocks for the items and looking for dropshippers, your job is to collect sales, pay to the suppliers, suppliers will ship the product to the buyer, and then you receive your profits. You can always search for dropship suppliers via majalah.com. 3. Sell Online - Lazada and Shopee both provide a very simple and free platform for you to sell your products online with 0 efforts to look for your own customers. In return Lazada and Shopee ask for a commission after your product sold. A lot of SME success in these platforms as your job only collect orders and shipping, Lazada and Shopee do the rest for you. EBay on the other hand can sell your products internationally with a low fees sometimes even free depending on your listing and your products. 4. Start A Blog - Blogging consume a lot of time in the start, and income increase as your readers grow. However not all blog is a success because commitment to your own blog is very important and you need to fork out some amount of money before you can make money, why? This is because free hosting websites normally don't allow you or only allow you have minimal profits from using their free services. Therefore I would recommend you start a blog with your own domain under WordPress by BlueHost instead of Wix because of the price is cheaper compare with Wix and also the complexity of using Wix to build your very own blog websites. Personally I do not recommend Blogspot because a lot of advertisers and sponsors do not like to put their ads in Blogspot.

Bluehost is one of the top web hosting companies in 2020 and you can start your own blog with them for as low as $3.95 a month for 36 months (this low price is through my link only and normal price is $7.99 a month)! Also, if you sign up using my link, you will get your domain for free if you purchase a 12 month or longer hosting plan. I definitely recommend you to signing up for the 12 month hosting plan through Bluehost for the most low costs way. It’s affordable and you can save a lot of money by signing up for at least 12 months. And if you want a better deal, the best value would be purchasing a 36 month plan, as your monthly rate is much lower over the long run.

Wix, yes is slightly more expensive comparing with Bluehost, however more complex design can be done via Wix because it allows drag and drop of all its apps and customisations. There are 4 premium plans for you to choose ranging from $4.50 a month to $24.50 a month depending on how complex your website you want it to be.

It’s not as easy as just sharing random content as you please at anytime anywhere, you do need to create a strategy that works, and of course it can turn into a fun career if you are successful. 12.
