Make Tons of Money Just Using Your Phone

Well, you heard this right! And this is not a clickbait title or pyramid scheme. You don’t have to invest any money. You do not need professional skills either. You do not have to use a laptop or a computer. You don’t even have to spare a moment to work, you can work on the go, for example, while commuting on a train, shopping in a store, waiting for a bus, walking on the street, etc.

The idea is to make a short video of 30-60 seconds and post it on Youtube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, or TikTok. Youtube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and TikTok have created creator funds for short video content creators. By publishing short videos you will have access to the funds and you will earn your share based on the views generated by your videos.

If you find something interesting just shoot a video with your phone and upload it on the platform of your choice. No editing is required. If you find something interesting, it is very likely others will also find it interesting.

How to Use Canva to Make Short Videos

Creating and publishing short videos is one of the best ways to make money online as you do not need investment and you do not need elaborate skills.

You can create short videos and publish them online by just opening the video app (youtube, tiktok, facebook reels, and instagram reels) and start shooting video, or you can upload videos from your gallery and publish them on the platform of your choice.

If you want to create videos with quotes, quizzes, puzzles, texts, images, tutorials, and instructions, you will need a video editing program. There are a lot of programs for video editing, but the one that I recommend for editing short videos is Canva. For this purpose, you need Canva pro account.

Since short videos are vertical, choose a vertical frame, drag and drop the video clips, and add text, images, clip art, emoji, emoticon, memes, transition, animation, music, anything you want.  Canvas has a lot of video clips, images, and music files for you to embed on your videos. The best thing is you can create your short video by using Canva mobile app and you don’t need a computer. Your video will be ready to be uploaded to the platform of your choice in a few minutes.

Making Money on TikTok

TikTok has a program called Creator's Funds. This fund has been created to pay for the content creators on the platform. So, yes, TikTok has a monetization program and yes, TikTok pays money to the content creator. Now that you know TikTok pays, you would also want to know how much the platform pays for the content creator. Well, how much you earn depends on a number of things, one, the views and engagements you get on your videos, two, your traffic location, three, your location, etc. TikTok monetization means you are getting a share from Creators' Funds. Sadly, this monetization program is available only in a handful of countries. It is not available in my location, therefore, I can not get a share of creators' funds even when I get millions of views. If you want to use TikTok for making money, make sure to check if the monetization program is available in your location. Having said that TikTok also allows anyone to earn through other methods like live streaming, sponsorship, affiliate marketing, branding, promotion, etc. Of all these methods, live streaming is easy because you only need 2k followers to be able to start live streaming and make money.
