4 Lazy Ways Beginners Can Start an Online Business in 2026

while there are many different ways to make money online today I'm going to show you four of the laziest ways to make money that actually work and when I say lazy what I mean is that you're going to put in the work up front to set up these businesses and then they're going to be automated for you personally this is my favorite way to make money online because once I get the business set up I continue to make money while traveling or just while enjoying my life that's why I think if you pay attention to this whole video you can learn something that can really change your financial life so the first online

business you should look at if you want to build an automated lazy form of income is to build a Drop Shipping system Drop Shipping if you haven't heard of it is where you list and sell products online without actually owning the inventory yourself instead after the item sells you then purchase the product from a third-party seller who will ship the product directly to your customer so you're basically acting as a middleman here and you make a profit by selling the item for more than you buy it for and because you don't have to buy any inventory up front you don't need a lot of money or resources to get started now the key with this is you don't just want to build One Drop Shipping Store on one website you want to build a Drop Shipping system and what this means is that you're going to be able to build one system that will allow you to drop ship the same products onto multiple places like eBay Shopify and Tik Tok and to find the products you want to use some tool such as Zeke analytics because what it will do is it will narrow down for you what the most popular best-selling dropshipping products are so for instance I'm logged into my Zeke analytics account right here and we can see that it's actually able to identify for us products that are doing really well that people are Drop Shipping from Amazon to eBay so you can see right here that this facial cleaner right here if I were to sell this would give me about a $10 profit every time that I sell it and the really neat thing is that once you list this product once it can sell over and over again every single day so you have one product that earns you $10 profit every day and a second one and a third one and you can see just how quickly this can add up especially once you sell on multiple websites like eBay Shopify and Tik Tok now what's really awesome about this and what really makes this automated is using a software like autods because this will actually allow you to sell the same product on all these different marketplaces and different websites all from within one single app right here so if you take a look up here for instance you can see that I can sell these products on eBay I can sell them on Shopify Facebook you can also sell them on Tik Tok through things like Shopify so there's a lot of different options here for where you can sell your products and all you have to do is grab products from Amazon from Walmart from these other websites plug them into this software and they will be listed and live on all your different stores if that's what you want to do and then because you list with autods if the price changes on your supplier website those will automatically be updated for you in your stores and you can even set it up to automatically order the items for you as well now there are many things you really want to get right if you want your Drop Shipping system to be successful so if you want help with that what I've done is I've put together a guide I call it my Drop Shipping Secrets ebook and for a limited time after this video goes up I'm making it available to you for free all you have to do is click the first link in the description down below you can check out if it's still available for free and then I'll email you a copy of it after you click on that link so go ahead and click on it enter in your email and you can get a copy of it absolutely for free this next lazy

business idea is a really fun one that anyone can do it's the Amazon influencer program so if you've ever been shopping on Amazon and you look where the photos are you'll also notice that there are some videos here now some of these videos are uploaded by the person who actually is selling the product but you'll see that there are other videos right here that are actually uploaded by people who bought the product and wanted to make a video about it well the cool thing is that with these videos if someone were to buy this product after watching these videos the person that made the video would actually get a small commission for it so this is really kind of a fun way to passively make income because let's say you order this piggy bank right here you quickly just take out your phone you make a quick video about it you upload it through the Amazon influencer app and then the product will have the video attached to it and it will live there forever so you can continue you to have sales come in for the videos that you've made months sometimes years ago now you will need some sort of audience to actually get approved for it but it's actually pretty easy to pay for some cheap ads on Facebook to grow your Facebook following and once you do that you're good you'll be approved and anytime you order something from Amazon just pull out your phone make a quick video upload it and that video will live on that listing and continue to make you money for months hopefully years to come and I actually have friends that are doing over $10,000 a month with this and most of that money is coming from videos that they made a long time ago the

next lazy way you can make money online is by starting a YouTube channel now you may be thinking that YouTube channel takes a lot of work and trust me it does but luckily there's actually a much lazier way to start on YouTube and that's by creating a faceless YouTube channel there are actually hundreds of channels making a lot of money every single month without anyone ever showing what their face looks like so for instance here's a channel right here where this person has over 200,000 subscribers and all they do is post videos of them drawing on their iPad now what's really cool about this is that this person their videos usually get over 100,000 views each so they're getting lots of views which equates to a lot of money every single month but they never show their face all they show are their hands actually drawing on the iPad or on the paper and they're talking about what they're doing so what's cool is that if you have any sort of hobby that you love you can make videos about this if you love knitting just show your hands knitting if you love fishing just show a POV of you fishing and you never actually have to show your face you can do this with things like painting drawing obviously so there's so many possibilities but there are people taking this even to the next level so here's a channel right here where all they do is upload these horror stories and this channel has over 6. 5 million subscribers each of their videos gets over 500,000 views so you better believe they're making a lot of money from this channel but if you watch these videos most of this is just stock footage with some sort of VoiceOver of a scary story now you can do these voiceovers yourself or you can go to a website like Fiverr and actually pay someone to make these voiceovers for you so you don't even have to do it yourself so you can begin to see how once you get this set up and build out a system it can become pretty lazy and pretty passive because other people are doing the work for you but believe it or not you can actually take this even to a lazier level because here's a Channel with over 200,000 subscribers and this has absolutely no voiceovers at all it's a very simple quiz Channel where all they do is Show graphics on the screen with different quiz questions all written out and you never have to show your face put your voice on camera at all it's very simple to do you can easily do this using a website like canva and upload these very simple videos and as I'm sure you know any video you upload on YouTube stays on YouTube forever so videos that you made years ago can continue to make you money every single month last up is a way to

make the money you already have work for you and this is probably the ultimate in terms of lazy ways to make money online and I'm talking of course about investing now investing can be as simple as putting your money into a high Interest Bank account and by doing that the bank will literally pay you just to leave your money in there all you have to do is look around for a bank that will pay you the highest rate but when most people think of investing they think of this stock market now you'll find thousands of videos on YouTube talking about different stocks you should be investing in right now to Triple or quadruple your money but buying individual stocks like that can be very risky there are countless stories of people putting their life savings into a stock and losing it all to really pick the right stocks you have to spend a lot of time studying different companies and keeping up with the reports but that's not very lazy that requires a lot of work and ongoing work and since this video is about lazy ways to make money we're not going to do that instead we are going to invest in index funds so index funds are basically funds that track a group of stocks so for instance there are funds that track the entire US Stock Market so if the entire Market as a whole goes up then I make money this means that I'm not dependent on the success of any single stock if one stock goes down that's okay because the rest of the stock market will keep my investment going up it may not be the most exciting way to invest but it's lazy and historically it does work every month I just buy more funds in my index funds and that's it I don't think about it I don't do any research and historically it's always gone up so there you go those are four lazy ways to make money online that pretty much anyone can do even if you're a complete beginner like I said the one that I've had the most success and experience with is Drop Shipping so if you want to learn about how you can get started with that make sure to download my free Drop Shipping Secrets ebook I'll have it linked up there'll be the first link in the description down below click on that and check if it's still available when you're watching this video and while you're down there make sure to give this video a thumbs up and finally if you've made it this far and you're still looking for more ideas on different ways you can make money online then make sure to check out this video right here and I'll see you there in just one second
