Let me guess. You typed “how to make money online” into Google, got hit with 29 tabs, 17 YouTube videos, and a dude in Dubai trying to sell you a course about dropshipping socks from AliExpress.

I’m breaking down 7 simple, scam-free, beginner-friendly ways you can make your first $100 online — without needing a degree, audience, or a ring light.
