In this video, I'm going to show you by far the two laziest ways that I know to make money online. The first one I actually did myself while I was traveling across the country with my family. I think it's best explained if I show you this news article of this guy, a software engineer. Then you can read the article here on the Verge. It's all over the news, actually, who outsourced his entire job to China. I believe he outsourced it to multiple people for a fifth of his salary. Now, this guy, all he was doing was literally, I think shopping on eBay and watching cat videos or something all day long while a team of people in China did his job. I think he was a programmer. This is by far the laziest way to make money online because, literally, you are doing nothing. You already have a job. If your job is not easily outsourced, I'm going to tell you the second laziest way to make money online in just a second. So watch through the end of the video for that.
The second way you can do it is similar to what this guy did. He found people online who had his skills or better and literally had them do all the things that he did online. Now, this is explained very clearly in this book, "The 4-Hour Workweek." If you want to go through it, he goes through in detail how to negotiate something like this. It doesn't have to be something where I believe that guy actually got fired for doing it. It doesn't have to be something like that. This can be something where you're negotiating, and "The 4-Hour Workweek" goes through how to do that in detail. But basically, how you do that is you go to this website called Upwork...
The second laziest way, and the reason why I say it's the second laziest way, is because it requires slightly more work than the first option. But the second laziest way is to actually go to Craigslist, click on the gigs section. Look here – I'm looking at Craigslist near me over here – look over here on the lower right where it says gigs. You want to click on computer gigs. What this is are lots of people that are posting that they have a need that is computer-related, whether it's programming, web design, virtual assistant type tasks making appointments, all kinds of jobs that are done on the computer...
Now, before I tell you my second laziest way to make money online, I want to encourage you to click on the link in the description of this video. I have a free class there that talks about setting up an online business that runs on autopilot. My teenage kids have literally done this business. In fact, one of my kids set this business up when she was only 13. It's been running on autopilot, she's 18 now, and it's literally putting her through school right now. If this whole outsourcing your day job thing makes you feel kind of funny or you don't really want to do that, a great option is to set up an online business that runs on autopilot.
