    All the courses need to be at least 30 minutes. If you are not able to make sales you can hop in their email blasts, sitewide discount campaigns or be a part of their affiliate marketing program.

    Udemy marketplace insights provide you with important metrics like which course is popular in your category, its search volume and keywords. You can also understand which course is earning a lot of revenue in a particular category.

    Freelance Video Creation

    You can work as a freelance video creator if you want to make money by creating videos. You can provide services for creating high-quality videos or editing them for different brands, companies or even individual customers. This is a great alternative if you want to avoid social media and work more professionally.

    If you have excellent skills in creating top-notch quality videos then you can easily earn money by taking projects on a freelance basis. This also provides you with the opportunity to work remotely without any fixed working hours. You can take projects anytime based on your availability.

    This might sound easy but it’s not that easy. It can be difficult to find reliable clients especially if you don’t have enough connections. Furthermore, without prior experience, it can be difficult to find clients, and the payout, in the beginning, is also comparatively less.

    Once you gain some experience and build a strong portfolio, you can approach high-paying clients for new projects. You can also make connections with individual customers who are willing to avail your services for the purpose of creating or editing videos for various events.

    To make this a lucrative business opportunity, you must always aim at increasing your connections, producing good quality content and getting more recognition in the industry.

    Create Professional Videos for Influencers and Celebrities

    Nowadays, almost every celebrity and influencer is into making vlogs or short videos to have a regular engagement with their fans and followers. This gives the opportunity to professional video creators to work for celebrities and influencers, and make money by producing high-quality videos.

    If you have enough experience then you can send your samples to the managers of respective celebs and influencers. If they are impressed by your work then it’s an easy ticket for you to earn a good amount of money.

    However, working with celebrities is not an easy task. You have to consider a lot of things while working with them. You will have to come up with something super creative for every video and keep it engaging and entertaining to maintain a standard quality.

    If you are passionate about your work and always updating yourself with the latest tools and software for producing content then this can be a lucrative opportunity to earn money as a video creator.

It is extremely easy to work full-time with agencies and production companies as you can earn a fixed amount of salary.

    However, a video creator working for an agency doesn’t get enough opportunities compared to freelance video creators. You have to create content as per the instructions of the company without any variations. Furthermore, there is not enough flexibility and you have to work within specific hours.

    Working with a renowned agency or production company might give you the opportunity to work with different people and help you build connections as well. This will be a great boost to your career and guarantee you great money every month.

    Conclusion

    As a video creator, you have a lot of options when it comes to making money. The options are never-ending if you have a plan to grow and find new opportunities for yourself. This is a lucrative career full of opportunities if you have the skills and are passionate about your career.

  • Top 7 Conversion Rate Optimization Tools for Your Ecommerce Website

    One might have heard about conversion rates if they have an eCommerce website. It is not something we talk about on a daily basis, but it is something that is very important when it comes to boosting your online sales.

    Conversion rate translates into how much traffic your eCommerce website is getting. It also determines how much revenue your company will have. Because the more the conversion rate, the higher the sales will be. So, in this article, we will discuss some of the most popular website conversion tools that will help you increase your conversion rate on your eCommerce website in 2023.

    Best ways to increase your e-commerce conversion rate

    What is Conversion Rate?

    In simple terms, conversion rate refers to the percentage of visitors who take the desired action on a website. Say you have an eCommerce business website where you sell sunglasses. Like any other business, you will post advertisements for your products online. Let’s say about 2,00,000 people saw your advertisement. But only 40,000 clicked on the advertisement. And then finally, only 5,000 actually completed the action. By completing the action, we mean purchasing the advertised product. The conversion rate optimization is calculated by dividing the number of actions by the number of interactions. In this case, the conversion rate will be 0.125 or 12.5%. Thus, the conversion rate is the rate at which actions take place based on the customers’ interactions.

    Now you might wonder why a higher conversion rate is important. Well, it is significant due to a number of causes like it helps you compare various advertisement campaigns. By seeing the conversion rate, you can know which advertisement is working well for you and which isn’t. It also lets you know what your best products or services are. In this way, you can focus more of your resources on the production of those goods.

  • Top 10 Print On Demand Companies in India

    Print-on-Demand (POD) as the name suggests, simply means you will print and supply customized products according to the customers’ order or print the product by showing some samples on the site.

    POD implies that you do not need a significant quantity of things to start, instead, each order is printed, as it comes in. The most important advantage is that you are not bound to keep the inventory, however, the disadvantage is that sometimes, it takes more time to fulfil each order separately which slows down the process.

    Modern technology has made printing t-shirts, books, cakes, and even your cappuccino easier and more affordable. As technology advances, the production cost per unit is decreasing, making the ‘digital press’ cost-effective.

    With POD, you don’t need to bother about logistics, shipping, or inventory management. A third-party service provider will handle everything from printing to packaging and delivery. Many POD fulfilment service providers also help you to connect to eCommerce sites through their platforms.

    Conclusion

    There is a famous saying that success has no shortcuts. Even though POD companies are ready to take your accountability for brand building and customized products, you should also check it from the field directly.

    Direct shipment from the POD warehouse to a customer is good, but the brand owner should also keep a check on the colour and product quality from time to time and update it as per the customers’ feedback. It needs a consistent effort. Try to avoid comparison or footsteps of big brands’ products, pricing, and promotion at the budding stage. Thus, the above-mentioned are some of the popular print-on-demand companies in India that can help you scale your business to newer heights.
