The creator categorizes them into four levels: top recommended, normal, 50/50, and not recommended, ultimately highlighting Telegram channels, conditionally free traffic, digital products, and personal branding as the top four. ### Key Points - **Introduction to the Tier List** [00:01] — The video compiles 30 ways to make money online and places them in a four-level table: top (definitely worth entering), normal (good but not hot), 50/50 (nuances, not for everyone), and no (not worth entering). - **YouTube Monetization** [00:57] — YouTube monetization is placed in the 'normal' section. Russian-speaking creators earn more due to VPN usage making them appear as from other countries. Requires an ASNS (AdSense) account, which can be opened in Georgia or Kazakhstan or via intermediaries charging 12-25% commission. Long videos pay $3-6 per 1000 views on American YouTube. Downsides: monetization often disabled, appeals needed. - **Blogger Manager** [03:35] — Blogger manager is rated 50/50. The profession is stagnating, brands are afraid to buy advertising due to market conditions. However, it offers enormous social capital and networking opportunities. - **Resale of Digital Goods** [04:44] — Reselling digital goods like activation keys for video games is placed in 'normal'. It involves buying hard-to-find products abroad and reselling at a markup. There is a barrier to entry, requiring knowledge of purchasing from abroad. - **Commodity Business** [06:12] — Commodity business is rated 'no'. VAT is rising, marketplaces add fees, logistics complicated by sanctions. The market is saturated, and income has dropped. Not recommended to enter in 2026. - **Dropshipping** [07:08] — Dropshipping is rated 'no'. It involves reselling without storing goods, but problems with defects fall on the seller. In 2026, marketplaces dominate, and driving traffic to your own store is inefficient compared to referral programs. - **Telegram Channels** [08:46] — Telegram channels are placed in the top section. They are not dependent on algorithms, hard to lose, and can be monetized through ads, own products, and affiliate programs. Choosing the right theme is crucial, and TGstat service helps analyze advertising sales. - **Own Digital Products** [11:22] — Creating and selling own digital products (e.g., planners, coloring books) is top-rated. Marginality is almost 100%, and there is no need to reinvest. Example: selling a planner on TikTok with minimal costs. - **Traffic Arbitrage (Affiliate Marketing)** [13:17] — Traffic arbitrage is rated 'normal'. Driving traffic to affiliate programs can yield 50% rewards on deposits. Important to choose reliable affiliate programs to avoid being scammed. Example: gambling affiliate programs. - **AI Professions** [15:26] — AI professions (creativity, wipe coding, automation) are rated 50/50. They strengthen existing competencies but are not standalone income sources. Without basic skills, the internet gets polluted with low-quality content. - **SMM** [18:36] — SMM is rated 50/50. With neural networks, SMM specialists can handle more clients (10-15 vs 5 a year ago). However, it's frustrating as content doesn't feed you after parting with clients. Better to transition to digital products or personal brand. - **Personal Brand** [20:23] — Personal branding is top-rated. Building a personal brand across social networks increases trust and recognition, leading to more clients. Example: the creator closed many clients for custom videos due to his Instagram with a face. - **TikTok Monetization** [22:03] — TikTok monetization is rated 50/50. More restrictions on geo (France, Germany, English-speaking countries, Spain), requires citizenship or residence permit confirmation. More bureaucracy, but fewer outages. Better to focus on YouTube. - **Mac (Messenger) Channels** [23:20] — Mac channels are rated 'no'. People flooded with paid traffic, devalued, and many are in debt. Only early entrants with cheap traffic make money. The messenger lacks features like surveys and tracking links. - **VK Public Pages** [25:24] — VK public pages are rated 50/50. Despite being outdated, people still make money through ads. Example: 'Lazy Around the World' travel page. However, the same content on Instagram would likely earn more. - **Media Buying** [26:36] — Media buying is rated 'normal'. Joining an arbitrage team to manage large budgets. Requires experience in solo arbitrage or SMM. Top buyers can earn a million rubles a month. - **Cryptocurrency** [27:37] — Cryptocurrency is rated 50/50. Many go broke, so it's not recommended as a main occupation. Invest only a small portion of capital (e.g., $2,000 out of $20,000) for experimentation. - **Telegram Gifts** [28:22] — Telegram gifts are rated 'no'. The hype has died down, and the market is less active. Not worth entering in 2026. Some made millions, but many lost money. - **Channel N (Yandex Zen)** [29:21] — Yandex Zen (DZN) is rated 'no'. After VK acquired it, algorithms became crooked, and there's nothing to do on the platform. - **Auzy (Bank Referrals)** [29:51] — Auzy (bank referral programs) is rated 'normal'. Earning money through 'Bring a Friend' systems. No investment required, and it gives confidence to start earning online. Bonus hunting is not recommended due to complexity. - **Target Context** [31:15] — Target context (freelance traffic) is rated 'no'. It's 2020, and if you can drive traffic, there's no reason to drive it to a dance school when you can drive it to more profitable offers like binaries or banking. - **Conditionally Free Traffic** [31:56] — Conditionally free traffic is top-rated. Uploading short videos to Telegram channels or affiliate programs. No investment needed, and you can pour huge volumes. Important to know which creatives to use and work with multiple accounts. - **VK Shops (KSOPS)** [33:35] — VK Shops is rated 'normal'. A referral program within VKontakte. People earn 200-300k rubles. No unique identification required, so you can spam clips across public pages. Good for mass-market products. - **Design** [35:00] — Design is rated 50/50. Neural networks strengthen designers but reduce demand for small orders. Companies with large budgets still need designers for complex tasks like landing pages. - **Video Editing** [36:12] — Video editing is rated 'normal'. Neural networks haven't replaced editors yet. The era of short videos requires editing skills. Can be combined with neural networks or conditionally free traffic. - **Copywriting** [37:22] — Copywriting is rated 50/50. It's a crucial skill but undervalued by clients. Better to use copywriting skills for personal brand, digital products, or Telegram channels. - **Programming** [38:28] — Programming is rated 'normal'. Despite being called 'wipe coding', it's irreplaceable. Many launch VPNs and outsource development. Important to promote yourself through a personal brand. - **Infobusiness** [39:09] — Infobusiness is rated 'normal'. Similar to digital goods but with a face. High-margin but has a dirty reputation. Not top because of that. - **AI Business** [39:51] — AI business is rated 'normal'. Launching a product made entirely with AI, like a website that generates product cards for Wildberries. Cheap production, but requires a team to scale. - **SEO Specialist** [41:31] — SEO specialist is rated 'no'. The creator listed it just to reach 30 methods. Not in demand in 2026. - **Own VPN** [42:02] — Own VPN is rated 50/50. Launching costs around $500, but maintaining it is difficult. Servers get banned often, requiring constant upkeep and a team. - **Final Tier List** [42:29] — The top four ways to make money online are: Telegram channels, conditionally free traffic, digital products, and personal branding. The creator invites comments on agreement. ### Conclusion The video concludes that the most promising online income methods are Telegram channels, conditionally free traffic, digital products, and personal branding, while cautioning against saturated or declining niches like commodity business and dropshipping. ## Transcript then your main problem is lack of focus. There are too many possibilities. In this video, I've compiled 30 ways to make money online and will share my perspective on is provided for informational and educational purposes only. actions shown in the video. And we will place these methods of earning money in this table. It consists of four levels, where the top one is definitely worth entering this niche. She is now giving excellent results. And we need to break into it right now , without wasting the moment. It's okay , well, it's not a hot niche, but it's still a good one, you can make money in it, and I recommend make money in it, and I recommend getting into it. 50/50. That is, you can earn money, but there are nuances that need to be taken into account, and it is not suitable for everyone. And no, that is, it is definitely not worth entering, you will not earn money, you will burn out and everything else. Let's start with the first method of YouTube monetization. And here I will say that if you have at least some kind of YouTube channel and you are running it, I recommend that you connect it. Moreover, Russian-speaking creators who make Russian-language content have begun to earn more from it in recent years because YouTube is blocked in Russia, people access it with VPNs, and, accordingly, YouTube perceives them as Germans, Dutch, Americans, and so on. And, accordingly, the monetization from this is greater. On the one hand, turning off YouTube monetization is not a problem, but on the other hand, there are some nuances. For this you need an ASNS. You can either trim it yourself. For this you need a foreign account. You can open it in Georgia or Kazakhstan and, accordingly, register the ace there. Or you can do it through an intermediary company, and they charge 12 dash 25% for it. So, let's say you earned $1,000 through monetization, and earned $1,000 through monetization, and the intermediary will take 12 dash 25% of that, which means, roughly speaking, you'll get $800 from your $1,000 in earnings. Well, that's better than nothing, if that's not your primary monetization method. If it’s your main account, I recommend opening an account in Georgia or Kazakhstan. This is done quite easily. YouTube pays pennies for short videos , but for long videos, an average of 3 dashes of 6 dollars per 1,000 views on American YouTube is 10-re. YouTube especially loves long, hour-long videos. I specifically recommend making videos on psychology to monetize them for an English-speaking audience. They collect well and, accordingly, YouTube pays very well for them. On the downside, monetization is often disabled, and then you have to file appeals and fight YouTube in every way possible to restore it. And as if the periodic shutdown of monetization plus for a shutdown of monetization plus for a Russian it is relatively difficult to connect ACC. And if through intermediaries, then there is a commission. And that's why I'll put YouTube monetization in the normal section. That means you can still make money from this. And the YouTube niche is very stable, very tenacious, one might say eternal. And, accordingly, there are both pros and cons, but more normal than 50/50. You can go there. Here, for example, is a blogger manager. And here everything is less rosy, because at least in the last few years this profession has not been hyped. That is, at the very least, it is stagnating. Plus, you'll be working with brands, but in the last year, brands have been afraid to buy advertising. The Russian advertising market has been in, you know, the state it's been in over the past year . Everything around is blocked, everything around is recognized as undesirable organizations, and therefore this profession is experiencing quite a storm. Plus, I've always said in my videos on this channel that you need to enter a niche that's on the rise. So you catch that wave and just go with the flow and grow that way. There is no such wave in the profession of blogger-manager right now . At the same time, you can earn money in this profession . There is money here. And the big advantage of this method of earning money is the enormous social capital. That is, you communicate with the bloggers themselves, and with traffickers, and with companies. In general, you accumulate enormous social capital, an enormous network. So I bet 50/50. But I don’t see any particularly advantageous entry point into this profession . But what is much more interesting is the resale of digital goods. What do I mean ? These are various activation keys for, for example, video games that cannot be purchased in Russia if you have a Russian passport, a Russian IP address, and so on. And you can simply buy them using VPN, anti-detection browsers, various other fake data and resell them at a markup. And here again, it’s like with YouTube monetization. On the one hand, restrictions are stifling us, but on the other hand, these additional methods of monetization are emerging. And the temniks who earn money on the Russian-language internet, on the one hand, suffer from these restrictions because there is less traffic, but on the other hand, there is more demand for their services . And a person who doesn’t have this streak has no business in earning money online. That is, to obtain a hard-to-find product, bring it in and resell it at a markup. But this is entrepreneurship, so I put this method of earning money in the norms section. There are a lot of them on FanPe. And yes, there is a barrier to entry here; you need to understand how to purchase all these goods from abroad in order to resell them to Russians. Well, this method, I think, is too obvious where it will end up. Commodity business. Let me guess. Do you know someone who went bankrupt in the commodity business? Just like before, everyone had a friend who went broke in crypto. VAT is rising, and marketplaces are introducing additional fees. Logistics have become more complicated due to fees. Logistics have become more complicated due to sanctions. Well, I don't see any reason to enter the commodity business in 2026. Everyone who could, entered and continue to stew there. More or less everyone's income has dropped. And if you haven't entered there, then there's no point in going there. As a rule, people who have done some offline work at some point go into the product business a rule, people who have done some offline work at some point go into the product business understandable than, for example, traffic or programming. But I recommend that it’s better to study something much more complex and spend money on training, rather than just waste money on something that seems understandable. But by 2026, the goods on the Russian market will definitely end up in this shameful place. No. And our next candidate is dropshipping. And I’ll say right away that I’m not a fan of this method of earning money. What is dropshipping anyway? In short, this is the resale of goods, but without storing them on your premises. Let's say you find a pair of headphones on AliExpress for $50 and then list them $70 instead of $50. Once you find a buyer who buys the headphones for $70, you then, after receiving the money, purchase the headphones from the supplier for $50. You wait until they arrive to you, and then you send them to the buyer. I also had the thought when I heard about all this that it was some kind of [ __ ], some kind of schematism, somehow too complicated. And indeed, this is the main problem with dropshipping. If there are any problems with the product , for example, a defect, then all questions will be directed to you. That means you might end up in the red. Plus, 2026 is the era of marketplaces all over the world, and dropshipping is only possible if Well, if you drive traffic, then the If you have your own online store, then you know how to drive traffic to it. It's much easier to redirect this same traffic to marketplaces and receive a commission on each sale if you set up a referral program. That's why I specifically put this method of earning money along with the commodity business in the "no" section, because, well, there are much more profitable ways to earn money. And finally, Telegram channels have been selected. And for me , even after Telegram was blocked in Russia, it’s still one of the most convenient ways to earn money. At the very least, because if you have a Telegram channel, you are not dependent on algorithms. Let's say I have an Instagram page, and if it gets shadowbanned, my followers won't see my posts. In the case of Telegram channels, if we've attracted an audience, we can interact with them without algorithms. Well, it's pretty hard to lose a Telegram channel. While this can be done fairly easily on Instagram, as was the case with the blocking raid in the spring , this almost never happens on Telegram. To get your account deleted, you need to be doing some really dirty stuff. The most important thing is to choose the right theme. So, we go to the TGsta service and see a section with all categories. We then browse through these sections and see what Telegram channels there are on a particular topic. And we need the Telegram channel to have regular advertising sales. Let's go to this advertising effectiveness section advertising effectiveness section and see how often the and see how often the channel we saw sells advertising. So, well, this is advertising, right? This is also advertising. And the more ads are sold, the more tenacious the niche. So, as we just saw, advertising sells quite well in psychology , as if the market is alive, there is turnover, and so on. How has the Telegram market changed since its blocking in Russia? No way . People are still sitting there as before. Just like with Instagram, the traffic from there hasn't gone anywhere. There are simply no Russian alternatives. Max has already been removed from everywhere, but even before that, only government employees and the elderly used it. And Telegram is still the main platform where all Russian-speaking people hang out. I especially prefer original Telegram channels, meaning ones with a face in your name, because they can be monetized in all available ways. This includes selling advertising, selling your own products, affiliate programs, and so on. That's why I put Telegram channels at the top of my list , because finding better ways to earn money is quite difficult. Digital goods, and that's not what I meant . under the digital goods resale card. I mean my own digital products. For example, I have a TikTok account, and I sell this planner there. This is the kind of creativity I publish. Here I am showing my own glider. Here it is. And people buy it from me through TikTok. And this way of earning money is cool because the marginality here is almost 100%, and we receive 100% of the cost paid, . That is, if you take the same glider , what consumables did I have? Antidetect browser, proxy and that's about it . I sold the payment card through tribute, and I simply found this planner on the Internet and slightly improved it. Yes, Ank cost money, proxies also cost money, but I would have bought them anyway, money, but I would have bought them anyway, because I upload a bunch of other links to affiliate programs and Telegram channels. And in any case, I would have expenses there for accounts, for proxies, for antiquities. Okay, I used my traffic to upload a video to this channel . Well, okay, I spent about . Well, okay, I spent about 15 dollars there, and made only digital product that can be sold. I saw an English tutor selling various flashcards for learning the language. How do children's coloring books sell like this? That is, the parent prints the coloring picture on an A4 sheet. We sell what needs to be printed and receive a reward from it. And all this money is ours, there is no need to reinvest it and there is no need to give interest to anyone. Well, we can also hire traffickers, but again, the main profit is ours. And a member of my closed community also made money on gliders. Therefore, this method of earning money is definitely among the top ones, where you will still find products with a margin of almost 100%. Traffic arbitrage, also known as affiliate marketing. And a huge amount of material on my channel is dedicated to this method of earning money. Yes, you drive traffic to affiliate programs, the people you bring in perform targeted actions, and you receive a reward for this. For example, you brought people to a gambling affiliate program, they made a first deposit, lost it, and you receive a 50% reward from it. The man lost $100, your reward is $50. The most important thing is to know how to pour. For example, here is one of the creatives. This is how gameplay is uploaded from short videos. There are many more ways, both paid and free. The most important thing is to know how to drive traffic and choose a reliable because I've had a couple of cases where an affiliate program screwed me over. The last where an affiliate program screwed me over. The last time it was an affiliate program, when I deposited money into Winline, and they didn't approve my conversions , and then deleted all the correspondence. To prevent this from happening, go to the affiliate website. Here we select the affiliate section and our vertical. So, for me it will be gambling, betting and let there be supis affiliate programs. And these are official affiliate programs. Yes, a lot of them have appeared recently. For example, we go here and see reviews. Here we see positive and neutral. And here the resolved section is especially important. That is, initially there was a problem, but it was solved. And, accordingly, we study all this feedback from webmasters so that there are no surprises later. Plus, there's something called "cheafe" in affiliate counted simply because the affiliate wants to make more money off you. Overall, it's a pretty nice way to earn money. However, if we compare it with digital goods or Telegram channels, there are still or Telegram channels, there are still more problems. Therefore, more problems. Therefore, we put traffic arbitrage in the norms section. And then we put traffic arbitrage in the norms section. And then we have AI professions, which include creativity, wipe coding, and everything else, basically intelligence and those who have been talking about it have spawned in recent years. This also includes automation, that is, all these content factories and so on. I dedicated a separate video to this. In short, earning money on E sounds absurd in itself. And it is not a source of income in itself, it strengthens existing competencies. That is, I, for example, know how to drive traffic, and ACLOD will help me automatically create carousels for Instagram. Accordingly, here is my profile on neural networks. He even has a name and a face. And I can create carousels on it using neural networks, but they fail because I know what is good and what is bad. I can give the desired prompt to the neural network, edit this prompt, and then edit the result. Here I get videos with characters, and they fly in not because I gave the neural network the right prompt, but because I know what is good and what is bad. I can evaluate the result. Neroset gave me a video, and I understand whether it’s good or bad. I know how to edit it so it flies. But most people who come into these professions don't know this, and that's why the Internet is polluted. Social networks are flooded with slob - that's what they call low-quality videos. And video game developers are howling because Steam is filled with all sorts of wipe-coding crap that is killing search results. Users are dissatisfied and the industry is suffering colossal losses. That's why professions are okay only when you have some basic skill. For example, I know how to drive traffic and, for example, I know how to drive traffic and create videos for social networks, and artificial intelligence helps me increase their number. For example, I used to create two, for example, I used to create two carousels a day, but now I can create 20 with artificial intelligence. The same applies to programming, for example. If you only know how to wipe code, you wo n't get very far with that. Plus and n't get very far with that. Plus and minus of professions. A huge number of students graduate, but there are not enough customers to satisfy everyone. Accordingly, competition is huge, and this leads to dumping. As huge, and this leads to dumping. As a result, services of, for example, creators or wipe coders are cheaper than, say, six months ago. Social media posts say that you can also make videos to order. I did this, and clients came to me from Instagram, but I only had them because my Instagram was pumped up . And if I were to surf the freelance exchanges, I simply wouldn’t have enough orders to earn, well, at least $2,000 a month. Therefore, for now we will put professions in the 50/50 division . Perhaps in a year they will be here in the top section, but for now only in 5050. Next SM. And here I see very positive progress. And now my words will confirm what I said about professions. I have a fairly good network of SMS marketers, and they've started earning more over the last year because, with the help of neural networks, they can create more content and, accordingly, attract more clients. For example, a year ago it was normal for a freelance SMS specialist to have five clients, but now it’s 10-15. It might be quite normal. But still, might be quite normal. But still, SMM is when we know how to manage social networks, and we do it for someone else, but not for ourselves. This is a rather frustrating task, because we created content for a client, then parted ways with them, and this content no longer feeds us. But if we use all the same skills to create, for example, a personal brand or the same digital product without a face, then we will earn money for much longer. That is, the same digital product, we can publish posts, videos, carousels, and so on. Some of them will rise to the top of the recommendations and stay there for a long time. And, accordingly, we will earn from this, essentially passively. In SMM, we created content, received a reward, and left. And that's about it . That is, there is progress in this area, and it is very significant, but I will still give it 5050. That is, you can start with this area, but as soon as we have success, then we move on, for example, to digital products, Telegram channels, traffic arbitrage, YouTube monetization. There we will simply have a lot more perks. Or you can move on, for example, to a personal brand. That is, you create social networks with your name. You have a Telegram channel with your name, a YouTube channel with your name, an Instagram account with your name, and a TikTok account with your name. Continue further. In general, in any Continue further. In general, in any social network you talk about yourself, what you do, your own life, and so on. And for me personally, this is one of the most attractive ways to earn money, at least because people start to recognize you and trust you more . For example, I've been running the same Instagram account on neural networks for about six months, a little less. And simply because I lead it with a face, it has allowed me to close a lot of clients for the creation and custom video. And if I had been surfing freelance exchanges, I would have earned at least 10 times less. And that is, if you already have some professional results, I do n’t know. And that is, if you already have some professional results and you still haven’t created a personal brand, I don’t know why you haven’t created one. I just don't have any explanation. And, by the way, when you start building a personal brand, you'll lose that strange idea that you need to work harder and then you'll earn more. No, the one who earns more is the one who is known by more people, who is trusted by more people, and, accordingly, these people bring him money, and all the money in the world is in the hands of other people. It could be a very niche professional personal brand, or it could be something broad. That's why we at OLP place personal branding among the top ways to make money online. Next, TikTok monetization. Here, everything is practically the same as with YouTube monetization. The only thing is that TikTok monetization has more restrictions on Geo. While with YouTube we can advertise to any geographic location where YouTube advertising is available, with TikTok we're limited to France, Germany, English-speaking countries, and, I think, Spain. And, accordingly, we must be there too. And we must also be there too. And we must also confirm that we are citizens of one of these countries, or that we have a residence permit. In general, there is much more bureaucracy. And this no longer looks like a business, but like a scheme. At the same time, TikTok has fewer outages and monetization, but it still requires confirmation of citizenship or residence permit. All this can be done through specially trained people. You can already buy a ready-made account with monetization and withdraw money from it. In general, in terms of restrictions and their number, they are approximately the same as YouTube. But still, with all these fake documents it seems like some kind of scheme. So let's put it 50/50. If you're going to make money from monetization, it's better to do it make money from monetization, it's better to do it on YouTube. And next we have the Macnals. And on YouTube. And next we have the Macnals. And for me personally, this is the biggest failure of everything that has happened in the social media market in recent years. To put it simply, people have flooded Max with paid traffic, spent millions of rubles on it , and now they're running mutual PR, or mutual promotion, advertising each other. Traffic in Max has become completely devalued. There are ads there, but not a lot, if we talk about appearance. And, in general, people sit there, they don’t know how to make money from this. The money has already been poured in. And I know many people who have gone into a very deep minus. And right now, for example, they have a debt of 2 million rubles. In Max, the only channels that make money are the widest ones, like postcards. Well, we understand what audience this is for, it’s for an understand what audience this is for, it’s for an audience of 50 ps. And the admins, uh, of these channels came to Max very early. That is, in fact, when it appeared, and, accordingly, they managed to pour cheap traffic into themselves and create networks. And now these grid workers are making money. But whoever entered, for example, when Telegram was blocked, no one there makes money from it. And, well, in general, it’s simple, for me, the very idea of ​​the Max messenger, but it’s some kind of absurdity, because Max messenger, but it’s some kind of absurdity, because it didn’t give anything new to the social media market, example. Because when Telegram was just developing, the channels changed SMM very significantly. Max is very laggy. For example, there aren't even any surveys, and that's not the only feature that has n't been added yet. There are no tracking links, which means I can’t create a tracking link for each traffic to see who is sending me, where they are sending me, and how much they are to see who is sending me, where they are sending me, and how much they are sending me. In general, I think no one will have any objections if I add the Mac channel here. But the VK public page, oddly enough , well, it would seem that it should also be added to the shameful corner, but nevertheless, people make money on VKontakte public pages . There is still . Accordingly, you can promote a VKontakte public page without investment and keep all advertising revenue as your own profit margin. I recently traveled to Brazil and before that I was browsing through travel content and came across this public page called Lazy Around the World. And I came across this public page called "Lazy Around the World". And if we scroll down the feed a little, we will see, for example, an advertisement in the feed. And further, if we scroll, we will also see a bunch of advertising. It would seem that there's no point in creating a public page on VKontakte in 2026, but examples like these show that it's quite worth it. But nevertheless, I have big objections. If all this same content were on Instagram, and same content were on Instagram, and from there the traffic flowed to Telegram, then I'm sure the earnings would be much higher. So we confidently set the VK public page higher. So we confidently set the VK public page to 5050. And then we have a media buy, meaning we're pumping traffic. It would seem that I have traffic arbitrage, but I divided it. Traffic arbitrage is when we work solo, and mediabuy is when we join an arbitrage company. And we can pour UBT, or we can pour, for example, targeted advertising on Facebook. And media, for example, is an excellent on Facebook. And media, for example, is an excellent next step for leaving SMM. Coming here without any experience at all is really difficult. You must have experience either in solo difficult. You must have experience either in solo traffic arbitrage, or in SMM, or somewhere else. It's desirable that you work with traffic, but when you come here and you show good results, then you will be given large budgets, you will spin them, and take a percentage from it. And I know buyers who earn, for example, a million rubles a month from this. That is, we calmly put media buying in the norms section. Next we have cryptocurrency, and I combined all these activities like trading and everything else. Well, each of us has a friend who went broke on crypto, just like a friend who went broke on marketplaces. Therefore, I would not make this my main occupation and would not invest a large amount of my total capital here. Let's say you have capital of, well, $20,000. you have capital of, well, $20,000. You can invest $2,000 in crypto, for example, to try trading or something else, but not more than that, so that this amount is something else, but not more than that, so that this amount is not significant for you. Therefore, we put a in the 50x50 section. And next we have Telegram gifts. I know people who became dollar millionaires thanks to Telegram gifts. I know people who have lost millions of rubles on Telegram gifts. And all this was in 24-25, when these gifts were all the rage. Now it's all when these gifts were all the rage. Now it's all gone downhill. And if you have n't gotten into this topic before, then you shouldn't bother getting into it at all, because gifts are already cheaper, the market is not as active, and there aren't that many windows of opportunity . Now the most effective strategy in these Telegram gifts. I resold them a little. You are looking for people who receive gifts but don't trade them. That is, they just sit on hold; they don’t look into the market. And you can buy these gifts from these people cheaper than if you bought them from a ball holder. In general, there is no need to enter this topic in 2026, so let's put it here. Channel N is for those who love to write articles. As you know, I started with a Telegram channel about AliExpress products. And I brought my first traffic from Zen. And then it was Yandex DZN. And then they paid for views. Advertisements were also placed there. And this traffic could also be transferred to Telegram channels. But everything that falls into the clutches of VK becomes mediocrity. And DZN was no exception after Yandex sold VK . Right now, the algorithms there are crooked, and there is absolutely nothing to do on this platform . Auzy is when we use service bonuses for the purpose of earning money. Basically, the bank has a "Bring a Friend" system. We give this referral link to a friend, he uses it to apply for a card, and the bank pays me, for example, 1,000 rubles for it. We divide it by 500. There are a lot of other burdens that are more profitable. To be honest, they cost more, say 50-70,000 rubles. not to earn. But nevertheless, the burdens specifically gave me a great deal of confidence that I would earn money in , but really want to start making money online, then I recommend that you either start with the burdens, or master something more complex, and simultaneously work on the burdens. The only thing is, there shouldn't be any costs here, because among the burdens is bonus hunting - this is when we earn money from bookmakers using free bets. This is a truly complex scheme. And I don’t recommend doing this, because with bonus hunting you need to buy SIM cards, you need to have drops. In general, this is just a schematic. But if the burdens do not require investment, then they can be moved directly to the standards section. Give it a try, I recommend it to you. You will actually become more confident. Target context. I'll separate this from media buying, because media is when we work with affiliate programs in arbitration teams, and Target is when we work with traffic using the freelance system. That is, we find clients, this is some kind of white business, and we flood them with traffic. Well, let's say, some kind of dance school. And, well, first of all, it's 2020. Secondly, problems, and if you know how to drive traffic, there's no reason to drive it to some dance school when you can drive it to, say, binaries, all sorts of banking offers, gaming, and so on. Well, I don’t know what should be in your head to choose this. Conditionally free traffic. That is, we upload short videos to Telegram channels or affiliate programs. And this is definitely a cool way to make money, because now is the era of short videos, everyone watches them, and here you don’t need an investment, and you can pour huge volumes of traffic. It's important for you to know which creatives to use for each offer, and also learn how to work with multiple accounts, so you can achieve greater results. Therefore, we put conditionally free traffic on OL. You can learn, for example, in my closed Telegram channel, Traffic Lab. This is a closed community of arbitrageurs where I share my own connections, developments, and observations. For example, here is a link, conditionally, free traffic to gambling. That is, you create to gambling. That is, you create short videos and upload them to Gamble and short videos and upload them to Gamble and make money from it. I have four lessons here. You study them all. And, accordingly, you have all the knowledge for the bay. Here, for example, is a connection between bays and reels for goods. In this particular case, on Yandex Market. Here is a flood with the help of film clips - this is banner advertising. That is, we collect views using film clips and place a banner with an advertiser there and earn money from views. Link to Trffic Laab in the description. Go ahead and explore. I invite you there. and go ahead and pour traffic together. It's more efficient than moving solo. And if anything, I can answer your questions if you have any difficulties. KSOPS is a kind of referral program within VKontakte. This is when we publish a clip or a This is when we publish a clip or a post. And here we see a link to the products we are talking about. And when a person buys through our link, we get a commission from it, basically, well, a full-fledged referral program. And it would seem like VK, but I know people who earn 200,000 and 300,000 rubles on this. A plus of VK is that it doesn't require unique identification. That is, you require unique identification. That is, you uploaded one clip to one public page, and you can re-upload it an infinite number of times to other public pages, thus spamming Shos, which converts for you. And it would seem that which converts for you. And it would seem that I should be spreading VK, but Shops seems like a really good way to earn money, especially since, well, it’s quite earn money, especially since, well, it’s quite problematic to pour from the same Instagram. Yes, VK's algorithms are bad, but you can promote something extremely mass-market in shopping malls, like some kind of anti-stress toy, some kind of cosmetics, and so on, and it will resonate well with a wide audience. That's why we put VKshops in the norms section. A really good way to make money. I don’t make money on it, I just have other ways of making money, but I know people who do, and they’re okay with it. Next we have design. And no matter how much they scare us that neural networks will replace designers, in fact, they strengthen designers. Yes, the Neroset can draw, it does it quite successfully, quite well, but, firstly, it needs to be prompted, and secondly, it needs to be evaluated. And in this regard, designers are needed. And the designer's profession is changing now. With the advent of neural networks, productivity has increased significantly. and now just higher KPI. But the downside is that a huge number of clients now believe that designers are not needed. These are ordinary people, yes, but they pay money. And now the narrative is that designers are no longer needed, that neural networks do everything, and therefore the demand for designers is falling. Only companies with large budgets turn to them. Or various complex orders, such as a sales landing page. And various small orders, like an avatar for a Telegram channel. Nowadays, people don't approach designers with such orders. This is what don't approach designers with such orders. This is what neural networks really do. And that's why we put the design in 5050. Video editing. But this is even cooler, because neural networks have not yet replaced editors. The only thing is, there is a replaced editors. The only thing is, there is a GLN neural network that automatically cuts the video, that is, removes pauses and repetitions. But then you need to add graphics, But then you need to add graphics, so you need an editor in any case. And now is the era of short videos. And even though short conversational videos are well received, video editing is still necessary. Short conversational videos are n't for everyone, so the profession is quite in demand. We put it in the norms section. Well, if you have video editing skills, you can also engage in conditionally free traffic. You can also use neural networks and thus accelerate your development and increase your productivity. In general, as I said, in the video about making money on neural networks. First you need to acquire a basic skill, and then a trendy one can be added to it. This is the very case, for example, of video editing plus neural networks or video editing plus conditionally free traffic. Next we have copywriting. And the place of this profession is specifically my pain, because it is an extremely necessary skill to write, to competently express your thoughts and manipulate them in such a way as to evoke the desired feeling in the audience. But this skill is greatly underestimated by customers. You can endlessly tell clients how valuable this skill is, but if the client himself doesn't see value in it , then he won't pay for it. And an important rule for making money. We study our potential client's worldview and create an offer based on it. And if you know how to write, then you can be the same SMS specialist, create the same personal brand, digital products, Telegram channels. Here's a great way to put your copywriting skills to use . If you know how to run a Telegram channel, you will earn big money. Well, that's the fate big money. Well, that's the fate of copywriting: it's a crucial skill, but it's not valued by clients, so it's 50/50. But programming is still wipe coding these days, but it's still perceived as some kind of disgrace and something toy-like. But with programming skills, you can earn a lot of money on the Internet. For example, many people are now launching their own VPNs and outsourcing their development to programmers. In general, this skill is irreplaceable for now, and we put it in the skill is irreplaceable for now, and we put it in the norms section. But at the same time, it is important to know how to promote yourself. To be a top performer, you need, for example, your own Telegram channel where you promote yourself as a programmer, drive relatively free traffic to your own services, and also have a personal brand so that people choose you over someone else. For me, infobusiness is the same as digital goods. Only digital goods have no face, but infobusiness has a face. And now the infobusiness is popular because it is simply a high-margin way to make money online, unlike offline businesses. Forgive me, Lord. You offline businesses. Forgive me, Lord. You just talk to other people, and if your team or you know how to drive traffic, then you get a high-margin then you get a high-margin connection. Therefore, we put it in the normal category, but it doesn’t reach the top, because the infobusiness still has a dirty reputation, unlike the same digital goods, because people don’t perceive them as an infobusiness, and they do n’t have any questions about them, although they are the same thing. What distinguishes business from a profession is that in this case we launch our own product, made entirely with the help of artificial intelligence. And since it is made entirely using neural networks, it is much cheaper to produce than a classic product. You don't have to look far for examples. Here, for example, is the website seller den AI. And here you can website seller den AI. And here you can generate a product card for Wiiber in 5 minutes using neural networks. How does it work anyway? The AI ​​service connects to some neural network. Well, let's say nanobana. Next, a special prompt is indicated for generating a card for Wibberies. Then a product is added through this site for which a card needs to be generated. And that's how it works. Cards for Wibberies are automatically created using this chain . It’s done extremely easily, and it’s a full-fledged business. People sign up for subscriptions. Products like these are, yes, taking off now. If we wipecode this intelligence and promote it with short videos, then production is either free or, well, very cheap. The only thing is, this business won't go far unless it hires a large team at a certain stage hires a large team at a certain stage . So this is just an MVP, that is, a minimum viable version of the product, and then we hire a team of professionals. And we are moving this business here to the standards section. Next, SEO specialist. To be honest, I listed this method of earning money simply so that the number of ways to earn money would be 30, not 29. Well, honestly, I don't know how to think in order to become an SEO specialist in 2026. Well, this is some kind of, this is some kind of 2000s, yes, SEO is necessary, but I have not seen these specialists earning a lot and being in great demand in the section no. Well, and your own VPN, yes, that’s fashionable. Nowadays, bloggers create their own VPNs, and it's very easy to load traffic onto these services, but maintaining them is more difficult. And, as we know, servers are banned quite often, and you can quickly attract users, but to keep them using your service, you need to constantly maintain it. And this is already quite difficult, and it requires a team. But launching a VPN itself will cost around launching a VPN itself will cost around $500, so it's in section 5050. And here's the tier list we got. The four top ways to make money online are Telegram channels, conditionally free traffic, digital products, and personal branding. Write in the comments whether you agree with this tier list or not, what you want to change and why. You can also ask a question about various other ways to make money online that were n't included here. Are there any? Well, making money using each of these methods is a technology. And I talked about it in detail in this video. This is also a fundamental video where I explained why people fail to make money online, why they rush from topic to topic instead of systematic, predictable, and steadily growing earnings. If you have a problem where you have income sometimes, sometimes not, then this video will definitely be the solution. Click. Enjoy watching.
