[00:01] can be a very profitable business. First, you'll be earning in the hard currency, the dollar, which is what all Cubans want. Second, you can start practically alone; you won't need a lot of equipment to begin. And
[00:13] third, you can start with practically no money; with just an internet connection enough to begin. Later, we can invest in other things, but with that, today's video, I'm going to give you some of the ways to
[00:26] living in Cuba. But keep in mind that everything depends on your skills. But be careful; it's not all sunshine and roses. There are pros and if you're going to dedicate yourself to these business models. For example, power outages,
[00:40] internet speed, and very importantly, having a good VPN that keeps your many of the options I'm going to give you today aren't available in our country. As a first option, we have freelancers. What is a freelancer?
[00:53] online work such as programming, writing, and translation.  Photography, video editing—anything you can imagine, you digital platforms on the internet. You create a platform, they contact you, you
[01:08] do the work to the best of your ability within the given timeframe, you get paid, the platform takes a small commission from that money. But now I imagine you're skills. How do I get work, or what platforms are there?" Well, I'll
[01:22] mention a few. There are many, like FreeWorld and you can create a profile showcasing your skills and start has an audience, people go there directly to find the work they need
[01:36] you because you won't have to spend money on advertising to get people to know you. Importantly, to start on this platform, it's best to price strategy so you don't have to compete with people who have been around longer than you. And
[01:49] rosy for us Cubans; everything is complicated. So, the first thing Why?  Because this platform is undeniably unavailable in Cuba, you'll need a friend or family member abroad.
[02:03] available in Cuba, you'll need someone living on the street to provide you can withdraw the money, and then they'll send it to you. But there are other ways to be a freelancer besides using this platform. Many
[02:16] people in Cuba with skills like programming, where they can pay in cash or in MLC (freely convertible currency). There are companies abroad that need programmers, and Cuba is a good country for that because the
[02:29] solves their problem. Although the internet connection sometimes lets them down, as a second option, we have creating a blog. Now, what is that? It's simply a website where you constantly upload content and can
[02:42] monetize it through advertising. If you enjoy social media and writing, great option for you since you can constantly upload content and monetize your skills. There are niches where you can
[02:55] what you're going to talk about and create consistent content on the topic. Someone will your article will appear, where they can solve their problem and at the same money. I'm sure you yourself have searched for many things on Google, and
[03:09] advertisements. That's how you make money. You can create a personal news blog about exercise, business, or any niche. The important thing is to create quality content, not copy and paste from another
[03:23] blog. That doesn't work because Google notices and won't rank you. For that, you need to your blog ranks on the first pages. And therefore, the more people visit it, the more money you make. You're going for the channel. With this, you can create
[03:35] create just one blog; you can create a fleet of blogs, and with that, you'll have more you'll earn more money. Okay, let me record. Okay, go ahead. Okay.
[03:47] Thirdly, we have affiliate marketing. I'm sure many Facebook, and Instagram, you often find
[03:59] Temu, Chain, and thousands of other platforms that claim to sell products. What happens is that these people leave these links because they earn a commission if you click the link and go to Amazon. And it's not just about buying that product; I think there's a
[04:11] any product and earn a small commission for that content creator. That biggest ways to make money online. From Cuba, you can create content organically on any social network and simultaneously
[04:25] a product that you either use or know works community buys it and you earn money at the same time. Now there are also platforms like ClickBank or HMAN that sell digital services and
[04:39] commission. You can create content, for example, about pets and at the same time include a link to a course that teaches people how to care for their pets and earn up to 80% commission on the sale of that course.  The course and
[04:52] you have to have someone here abroad who charges you that money and then sends it to you. As a fourth option, we have selling photography. If you are a professional or a photography enthusiast, you can monetize your skill. Now there are
[05:04] platforms that buy your photos and others that let you publish them, and a commission. Some of these platforms are PixBay, Shooter, Pexels, Adobe Stock, and many more, where you
[05:17] publish your photo, and in some, the client pays you directly. That's the way, of can donate money and things like that. Now, for this, the among all the photos that are out there. The better the quality of the photos and the
[05:31] really need them for their YouTube projects, their on their websites or things like that, the better you will do on the platform, and therefore you will earn much more money. And as the fifth and last option in this video, open a
[05:44] YouTube channel. I can vouch for this; it will be the best thing you can do. You will simultaneously build a solid audience that can later help you start a business, you do n't need much—just a phone, a microphone (if you
[05:57] have one), or even headphones. The goal is to start creating what you enjoy talking about or the skill you people will either be entertained or learn, so you create an
[06:10] educational channel or an entertainment channel. Then, if you meet the requirements, YouTube will start paying you, and you'll be able to work with create a blog and add links, you can make transactional
[06:22] recommendations, you can earn money with paid YouTube ads, you can earn money with a business you build an audience for, and most personal brand that will open doors for you worldwide, allowing you to monetize and
[06:35] grow your skills, or even meet people who can bring going to tell you is that you're not going to just open a YouTube channel and expect to achieve success. open a YouTube channel and expect to achieve success.
[06:56] video every week. But I decided to upload a video every week results. So, you know, it's a job of consistency, and if you're not Now that I've told you about this way to make money, I want you to know something very
[07:10] important: nothing is as easy as it seems. Everything requires sacrifice, discipline, a lot of desire, and time. That's the other thing we don't like: we want to start understand that every
[07:23] big business started small and gradually grew. Nothing you turn things around or make you money out of thin air. Everything takes time and consistency. If you're willing to do it, you can try
[07:36] time; don't jump at the first one.  The idea that I'm not making money didn't work for me. Give it improve. You'll correct all the mistakes you've made and in any of them. So let me
[07:50] knew about them or if there are any I didn't mention that could add value to the mention that could add value to the community. See you later, foreign. [Music]
