Best Websites To Make $100 Per Day

Most people are one site away from their first $100 online day. Not one degree, not one investor, not one perfect idea. One website. In this post I am walking through all 15 websites I covered in the video above, with enough detail so you can pick the right one for where you are right now and take action today.

None of these require a resume. Some require zero dollars to start. A few take patience before the money shows up. I am going to be straight with you about which is which, because the worst thing that happens is you pick a method that does not match your life and you quit before it has a chance to work.

1. Your Own Website

You are looking at one of the 15 right now. A personal website can be up and running for as little as $80, including the domain name and web hosting for a full year. That low starting cost makes it the foundation that most of the other methods in this list eventually feed into.

Once the site is live there are at least five or six ways to monetize it to $100 per day: display ads, affiliate links, digital products, physical products, and consulting inquiries are the most common. You do not have to pick just one. Many site owners run ads and affiliate links at the same time, which means the same visitor can generate income two different ways. That compounding is why building your own site is listed first.

2. Udemy

Udemy is a global course marketplace where students from around the world pay to learn topics you already know. Courses often sell for $9.99 during Udemy promotions, and depending on how the student found the course, the creator earns between $2.50 and $8.00 per sale. At $8 per sale you need 13 sales to hit $100 in a day. At $2.50 you need 40, which is why promotion matters.

What makes Udemy worth it long term is that you do not need any certification or formal education to publish a course. You need knowledge and the willingness to record it. Over time your catalog grows and your earning potential grows with it. Each course you add is another income stream working while you sleep.

3. eBay

eBay is one of the fastest ways to see actual money hit your account because you can start with things you already own. Old DVDs, video games, electronics, clothes, and collectibles all sell consistently on eBay. You post the item, wait a few days, ship it out in an envelope with a printed label, and the money lands in your account. The only upfront investment in that scenario is your time.

eBay also has an affiliate program. If you would rather not deal with physical products at all, you can promote other sellers’ listings and earn a commission when someone buys through your link. Both paths work. Selling your own stuff is faster to start. The affiliate side scales better once you have a website or a YouTube channel sending traffic.

4. YouTube

YouTube takes longer to ramp up than most other platforms on this list because you need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours before AdSense kicks in. That said, it is one of the most powerful long-term income sources because a single video can keep generating views and revenue for years. The platform rewards consistency over perfection.

What most people miss is the SEO advantage. YouTube is owned by Google, and a well-optimized video with strong watch time can rank on the front page of Google search in addition to YouTube search. One piece of content, two discovery engines. You can layer affiliate links, website traffic, and ad revenue on top of each other, making YouTube a multiplier for every other method on this list.

5. Quora

Quora is a question-and-answer platform with tens of millions of monthly users actively searching for help. The traffic is real and the intent is high, which makes it a legitimate place to build authority and drive people to your website or channel.

There is a right way and a wrong way to use it. The wrong way is dropping an affiliate link directly in your answer. Quora will ban you for that, and they also flag link shorteners like Bitly. The right way is to write a genuinely helpful answer, two or three solid paragraphs, and then link back to a YouTube video or a blog post where the deeper content and your affiliate recommendations live. Done that way, the reader gets value, you get a click, and the platform does not flag your account.

6. Facebook

Facebook gives you two main angles. The first is paid ads, which can drive traffic to an affiliate offer or an email opt-in at scale, but only if you read the Terms of Service carefully first. Facebook flags affiliate marketers aggressively, and a banned ad account means you lose access to that entire channel overnight.

The second angle is organic posts on your personal page or business page. You post about a topic your audience cares about, include a link to your blog or channel, and let the affiliate links or products on that destination do the converting. The organic approach is slower but free and much safer for keeping your account in good standing. The key rule: never sacrifice your network relationships in a push to make a sale.

7. Upwork

Upwork is a freelance marketplace where clients post projects and freelancers apply. It sits a level above Fiverr in terms of average project value because jobs are not anchored to a $5 starting price. On Upwork you can charge what your skill is actually worth, and clients tend to be businesses with real budgets rather than individuals hunting for the cheapest option.

Just about any skill qualifies: writing, design, web development, video editing, bookkeeping, customer service, data entry. You post your portfolio, apply to jobs that fit, and get paid per project or per hour. One solid client paying a fair rate can be your entire $100 day. The arbitrage play that experienced freelancers use is winning the job on Upwork and then outsourcing some of the work to Fiverr, keeping the margin in the middle.

8. ClickFunnels

ClickFunnels is a sales funnel and email automation platform. You can use it in two distinct ways: as the tool that runs your own business, or as an affiliate product that earns you recurring commissions every month someone you referred keeps their subscription active. That recurring element is what makes ClickFunnels stand out from a one-time affiliate commission.

Inside the platform you can build automated email sequences, sell products and services, create online communities, and process payments, all without a custom-coded website. Reaching $100 per day through ClickFunnels is realistic once you have a subscriber list to send offers to or a few active referrals generating monthly recurring revenue.

9. Thumbtack

Thumbtack connects local service providers with people who need work done. Roofers, web designers, photographers, handymen, tutors, and dozens of other trades all have active categories on the platform. If you have a skill that translates to a local service, Thumbtack is one of the fastest ways to find paying clients without building your own marketing machine from scratch.

You sign up as a Thumbtack Pro, set your service area and specialty, and either browse posted jobs or wait for leads to come in. The income is active, not passive, but one or two clients per day in a high-value trade can absolutely hit $100. The platform takes care of discovery so you can focus on doing the work.

10. Etsy

Etsy is the marketplace for handmade, creative, and custom products. If you have a creative skill, whether that is jewelry making, printable design, custom signage, candle making, or anything else that can be produced and shipped (or downloaded), Etsy gives you a built-in audience of buyers specifically looking for those things.

A real example from the video: custom name-shaped crayons priced at $19.95 each. Factor in the cost of a crayon-making kit and raw materials, and selling six or seven a day gets you past $100 profit. The math works across dozens of Etsy product categories. The platform handles payment processing and your shop is discoverable without a separate marketing budget.

11. Food Delivery and Amazon Delivery

This one is the most active option on the list, but it is also the one with the clearest path to $100 in a single day for someone who needs income right now rather than in six months. GrubHub, DoorDash, and Amazon Flex all pay per delivery, and the amount you earn varies by market, time of day, and whether you can stack orders.

This is not a passive income play and it is not a long-term wealth builder on its own. But if you have a holiday credit card bill due or you need cash while you build one of the other methods on this list, delivery driving is a legitimate $100-per-day vehicle that you can start this week.

12. ThemeForest

ThemeForest is a marketplace for WordPress themes and plugins. Over 25% of all websites on the internet run on WordPress, which means the audience for well-built themes is enormous. Real numbers from the video: one plumber-niche WordPress theme was priced at $49 and had 814 sales, meaning the creator earned over $39,000 from that single product. Selling two themes at $49 each in a day gets you past $100.

The path to creating a theme does not require being an expert from day one. You can learn the fundamentals through a $10 Udemy course or a free YouTube tutorial covering PHP, HTML, and CSS. If you want to move faster, hire someone on Fiverr to build the theme for you, upload it to ThemeForest, price it low to get early reviews, then increase the price as the review count grows. The same model works for WordPress plugins, which also sell as premium products on the platform.

13. Clickbank

Clickbank is one of the oldest affiliate networks on the internet, with thousands of digital products across every niche imaginable: health, finance, relationships, self-improvement, business, and more. You create a free account, browse the marketplace, choose a product to promote, grab your unique hop link, and start sending traffic to it.

The commissions are high by affiliate standards because most Clickbank products are digital and the creators can afford to share a large cut. In the video, a mentalism and magic tricks product paid $330 per sale. At that commission rate you only need to make one sale every three days to average $100 per day. Other products in the $20 to $50 commission range require more volume but convert more easily. Pair Clickbank with a website, a YouTube channel, or an email list for the best results. You can also look at JVZoo and Warrior Plus as alternatives with similar structures.

14. Private Label Rights Products

PLR stands for Private Label Rights. These are ebooks, articles, and sometimes videos where the original creator grants you permission to resell, repackage, or give away the content. The content is already written. You do not have to create anything from scratch. You just need to sell it.

A typical PLR ebook might cost you $12.99 to purchase, with a suggested resale price of $47. Sell three of those per day and you have cleared $100 after recouping your cost. The smarter play is to bundle four or five related PLR products into a mini-course or resource pack and price the bundle higher than any single item. You can sell PLR products through your own website, through a ClickFunnels funnel, or as a lead magnet that builds your email list while paying you at the same time. This is one of the most underrated methods on the list because most people never hear about it.

15. LinkedIn

Most people treat LinkedIn as a job board. It is actually a brand-building platform with a highly educated, purchase-ready audience. If you have a product or service, sharing genuinely useful content on LinkedIn puts it in front of professionals who have both the budget and the intent to buy.

LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, not Facebook, but similar rules apply around direct affiliate links. The safer strategy is to publish a thoughtful post or article, drive readers to your blog or website where your affiliate offers live, and collect the commission there. Pinterest works on the same model and is another underused platform worth testing because it functions as a visual search engine with evergreen traffic potential.

Honest Drawbacks: What the List Does Not Tell You

Most of these methods are not immediate. Udemy requires course creation time upfront. YouTube requires months of consistency before AdSense unlocks. ThemeForest requires either technical skill or capital to hire someone. Clickbank and PLR require traffic, which means you need at least one other platform sending visitors to your links.

The methods that pay fastest are the most active ones: eBay selling (days), delivery driving (same week), Upwork freelancing (within a week of landing a client), and Thumbtack (same). The methods that pay most passively take the longest to build: your own website, a Udemy course catalog, or a recurring ClickFunnels affiliate income. The decision is not which is better. The decision is which matches where you are right now.

A useful starting framework:

Need money this week? Start with eBay, Thumbtack, Upwork, or delivery driving.
Have a skill you can teach? Start with Udemy and build the course this month.
Comfortable creating content? Start a YouTube channel and website in parallel.
Want to sell without creating? Start with Clickbank or PLR products while building your traffic source.
Have a local service skill? Set up Thumbtack and Etsy this week, ThemeForest once you have income to invest in building the product.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it actually take to make $100 per day with these websites?

It depends entirely on the method. Delivery driving and eBay flipping can get you to $100 in a day or two. Freelancing on Upwork typically takes one to two weeks to land your first paying client. Passive income methods like a Udemy course catalog, a monetized website, or Clickbank affiliate income usually take three to six months of consistent effort before daily $100 days become reliable.

Do I need any technical skills to start?

No. Methods like eBay selling, Etsy product listings, delivery driving, Thumbtack services, and PLR reselling require zero technical skills. Udemy course creation requires the ability to record and upload a video, which most smartphones can handle today. ThemeForest does require coding knowledge or money to hire someone who has it. YouTube and website building have a small learning curve but free tutorials on both are widely available.

Can I use multiple methods at the same time?

Yes, and most successful online earners do exactly that. The most common combination is a website or YouTube channel (traffic source) paired with affiliate marketing through Clickbank or PLR products (income source) and freelancing on Upwork (immediate cash flow). Start with one method until you have consistent income, then layer in a second.

Is Quora still worth using for affiliate marketing in 2025?

Yes, but only if you use it correctly. Quora has millions of active users asking buying-intent questions every day. The traffic is real. The mistake people make is dropping direct affiliate links in their answers. Quora bans accounts for that. The correct approach is to write a helpful answer and link to your own website or YouTube video where your affiliate recommendations are already placed. That approach stays within the rules and still converts.

What is the difference between Clickbank and PLR products?

With Clickbank you are promoting someone else’s product as an affiliate and earning a commission on each sale. You do not own the product. With PLR products you typically purchase a license that allows you to resell the product and keep all the revenue, or bundle multiple PLR products together and sell the package at a higher price. PLR gives you more control over pricing and packaging. Clickbank gives you more products to choose from without any upfront purchase cost.

How do I avoid getting banned on Facebook when promoting affiliate products?

Read Facebook’s advertising policies before running any paid ads. For organic posts, the safer path is to share content about a topic your audience cares about and link to your own website or blog post where your affiliate recommendations appear. Facebook is more tolerant of links to external content you own than it is of direct affiliate links posted on your wall or in groups. Never drop a raw affiliate link as the main content of a post.

Is LinkedIn worth using if I am not in a professional niche?

LinkedIn skews toward business, career, and professional development audiences, so it works best for products or content in those spaces. That said, finance, health, productivity, and online business topics all perform well there. If your niche is more consumer-focused (crafts, food, entertainment), Pinterest and Facebook will likely drive more relevant traffic than LinkedIn.

What is the cheapest way to get started with your own website?

As covered in the video, you can start a website for around $80 total, which covers a domain name (roughly $10 to $15 per year) and web hosting for a year. WordPress powers over 25% of all websites on the internet and is free to install on most hosting plans. Themes to style your site are available free or through ThemeForest for a one-time fee. The $80 number is a realistic starting point for a functional, monetizable website.
