All the Ways You Can Make Money Online in 2026 (Even as a Beginner)

by Alison Leave a Comment

Alright friend… let’s sit down and have a real conversation.

Because if you’ve ever thought:

“I know people are making money online… but what are they actually doing?”
“Is there something I’m missing?”
“Where do I even start?”

This post is for *you*.

I’m putting it all in one place — the real, practical ways you can make money online right now.

These are things I am doing to make money online and they are all legit – I promise! and honestly they are so peaceful and fun.

We have never lived in a time where there are so many digital strategies that actually work — especially if you want flexibility, freedom, and options!! I love this topic so much!

Let’s walk through them 🤍

1. Faceless Digital Marketing

How to make faceless income online

If you’ve ever thought…

“I want to make money online but I don’t want my face everywhere.”

This is your lane.

Faceless digital marketing allows you to build income by selling digital products, promoting affiliate offers, or creating niche content — without being the brand.

You can:

  • Run theme pages
  • Use AI-generated visuals
  • Build niche accounts
  • Create value-driven content

No selfies required. No influencer pressure.

It’s strategy-driven. System-based. And perfect for women who value privacy.

I wrote an entire post on Faceless Digital Marketing and how to get started as a beginner.

You can read it here.

2. Make Money on Pinterest Using AI + Affiliate Marketing

I created this image with AI. I designed it to promote an affiliate product and sell it through Pinterest. Would you believe me if I told you it was SO easy?! and how realistic is it!!

Pinterest is not just a “cute mood board.”

It’s a search engine.

Which means people go there looking to buy.

When you combine:

  • Pinterest traffic
  • Affiliate marketing
  • AI tools for content + keyword research

You create something powerful.

You can build pins that:

  • Rank in search
  • Drive traffic daily
  • Lead to affiliate commissions

And the best part? Pinterest works while you sleep.

This is one of my favorite “slow burn but steady” income strategies.

I wrote a post all about the best way to get started! You can read it here.

3. Make Money With an AI Avatar

Okay… this one feels futuristic — but it’s already happening.

AI avatars are being used to:

  • Create faceless social media pages
  • Post consistent content
  • Build niche brands
  • Promote products
  • Land brand deals

You don’t have to show your face.

You don’t have to film daily.

You can build an AI twin that represents your brand and shows up consistently.

It’s content creation without burnout — and it’s opening doors for beginners who never wanted to be influencers.

You can read more about this amazing opportunity, in a post I wrote more in depth. You can find it here.

4. Make Money on TikTok (Even as a Beginner)

TikTok is still one of the fastest-growing platforms for beginners.

And no — you don’t need millions of followers.

You can make money through:

  • TikTok affiliate marketing
  • TikTok Shop
  • Product promotion
  • Faceless niche accounts

The algorithm still favors new creators.

Which means small accounts can go viral.

If you’re willing to learn short-form content and test consistently, TikTok can move quickly.

5. Make Money on TikTok Shop

TikTok Shop deserves its own moment.

You don’t need to:

  • Create your own product
  • Hold inventory
  • Ship anything

You can sell products directly inside TikTok’s platform and earn commission on sales.

It’s built for impulse buying — which means strong content converts fast.

If you love short-form content and product demos (even faceless ones), this is powerful.

Read this blog post which explains more thoroughly about how to make money on TikTok and Tik Tok shop.

6. Make Money With Benable

This one is beautifully simple.

Benable allows you to create curated product lists of things you already love.

When someone buys through your list?

You earn commission.

That’s it.

You’re not creating products.
You’re not handling customer service.
You’re sharing what already enhances your life.

Skincare.
Books.
Travel essentials.
Business tools.
Lifestyle favorites.

It’s affiliate marketing made clean and organized.

Perfect for beginners who want something easy to start.

I wrote a longer blog post about how to get started with Benable here.

7. Combine Them (This Is Where It Gets Strategic)

Now here’s what most people don’t realise.

These aren’t isolated strategies.

They stack.

For example:

You can:

  • Use Pinterest to drive traffic
  • Promote affiliate links
  • Add Benable lists
  • Use an AI avatar for content
  • Repurpose to TikTok
  • Keep it faceless

That’s when things compound.

Not by chasing everything at once — but by layering strategically.

So… Which One Should You Choose?

This depends on your personality and season.

If you value privacy → Faceless digital marketing or AI avatars.
If you love visuals + search traffic → Pinterest.
If you enjoy short-form content → TikTok.
If you want simple recommendations → Benable.

There isn’t one “right” answer.

There is only alignment.

The Truth Most People Won’t Tell You

Making money online is not about finding the perfect platform.

It’s about:

  • Choosing one path
  • Learning the skills
  • Following a system
  • Staying consistent

Most beginners don’t fail because it doesn’t work.

They fail because they switch before momentum builds (I’ve been guilty of this!)

If you want online income to become your new normal, you need structure — not just inspiration.

And the beautiful thing?

You don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.

There are proven systems now for:

  • Pinterest + AI
  • AI avatars
  • Faceless brands
  • Affiliate marketing
  • TikTok monetization

You just have to decide you’re done watching… and ready to build.

Friend — the internet is not “too late.”

It’s evolving.

And there is room for you.

Which one are you curious about first? 🤍

AMSTERDAM 🌷🇳🇱 What an experience! It was so beauti AMSTERDAM 🌷🇳🇱
What an experience! It was so beautiful and interesting. Filled with so much history, breathtaking architecture and weeds and nudity…

What a combination. 

My family roots are 100% Dutch. It’s my grandparents home from both sides. It’s special to me and I loved being there. But the spiritual darkness that is there is real. 

Who else has been and what was your experience?

8 years ago I moved abroad to the US from Australi 8 years ago I moved abroad to the US from Australia.
And 2 months ago my husband, dog and I moved to Germany. 🇩🇪 

So what’s next for us? ✨

-I am learning German, it’s hard so feel free to encourage me lol

-I won’t be able to work for a while so I’m LIVING IT UP (mostly with pastries)

-Aldrin has some interviews coming up for work (he is German so he can start working straight away)

-We are living with friends, in their built out attic and it has been the best way to start in a foreign country - instant community, pizza nights, bbq’s etc..

-We are loving being a part of a smaller Church, feels already like family 

-In a few months we will start looking for our own place, which will make it feel real that this Country is home

-Attainable travel in Europe is a dream come true and I’ll be sharing it all!

-We feel so privileged and blessed to be living in our 3rd Country together 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇩🇪

-Big life transitions are hard (miss family and friends everyday) but thankfulness has been the key for us 

-Lastly, Aldrins cousin made us a cake to welcome us here  to Germany from Australia and then the US🥹 what is my life?!

THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN BEFORE IMMIGRATING TO THE THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN BEFORE IMMIGRATING TO THE USA 🇺🇸 FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 
⬇️
-Marrying a permanent resident is NOT the same as marrying a US Citizen. It took me 2 years to be allowed back into the US. Marrying a citizen is much faster, knowing that in advance would have been helpful lol 😑

-Every state in the US is almost like a different Country, they have their own culture and laws, unlike Australia where they are much more similar

-Public transport is so different in the US (unless you live in a major City.) So many people I know there have never been on a train before 🤯

-Not having free medical insurance is just like in the movies, it’s hard to plan financially and save, I’ll forever be grateful for Australia’s medical system

-The work/life balance is probably my least favourite things about living in the US. US employees are actually not always legally entitled to paid holidays, but on average employees do provide on average around 5-10 paid vacation days a year. 

-Thanksgiving is the best! We love it and want to incorporate it into our traditions 🦃

-Writing dates backwards I am used to now, but it took forever! My birthday is 28/7 but in the US it is 7/28…

-Americans are sO good at championing each other and celebrating peoples success, it’s such a beautiful part of their culture! 🙌🏼

-Squirels look just like they do in the cartoons 🐿️

-Lastly, don’t ask for a side of ‘chips’ with your burger, you will be disappointed 😆
