Best Ways To Make Money Without Showing Your Face
1. Blogging
When you decide to create a blog, your main priority should be to create valuable content that will solve people’s problems. Sometimes blogging anonymously can give you the freedom to express yourself and that can be a defining factor for the success of your blog.
If you want to blog anonymously, you will need to start a niche website. “Niche- A business niche is a specialized or focused area of a broader market that your business serves specifically.” Also, you need to invest in good hosting and choose a smart domain name.
You can drive traffic to the blog by utilizing your social media accounts which will help you make money with affiliate marketing or through ads. If you are thinking in the long run, blogging can make you rich. Yes, you don’t need to show your face to become a professional blogger. There are so many blogs out there that have been created by people who don’t even share their real names.

3. Freelance Jobs
If you are just getting started with the idea of making money online, becoming a freelancer can be a good place to start. If you have any specific skills, you can surely use them to your advantage to make some serious money.
You must be wondering how much money can you make as a freelancer. Well, that depends on your service and expertise but you will be more than happy to know that many people are making a full-time income as freelancers.
There are a lot of places to list your services, more popular are Fiverr and Upwork.

- Transcriptionist
- Stock music seller
- Graphic designer
- Sell Your Photos Online
- Bookkeeper
- Copywriter
- Proofreader

4. Try Dropshipping
If you have no capital, you can start with dropshipping. The fantastic thing about having a dropshipping store is that you don’t need to have the products in your inventory. You just have to order it from a supplier who will actually ship the products for you directly to your customers.
You can easily make money by advertising your products on social media. Facebook and Instagram offer FB & IG shops, you might want to open an e-commerce store and use Shopify, or you can sell on your WordPress blog.
5. Start A Dropservicing Business
Dropservicing is another business model that has been on trend since 2020 and it offers a lot of opportunities for people who don’t have money to invest.
You can start your own drop service business without any investment. Essentially you can create your portfolio and list your service on social media or use platforms like Fiverr or Upwork.
You choose your niche and advertise, then when you get a client you can source the service from another person, an expert in the field. The way I see it you are sort of the middleman.
6. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is becoming more popular as more brands and companies realize the importance of word-of-mouth marketing.
Affiliate marketing is an advertising model in which a company compensates third-party publishers to generate traffic or leads to the company’s products and services. The third-party publishers are affiliates (that’s you), and the commission fee incentivizes them to find ways to promote the company.
Some of the places you can promote affiliate products are on your website and social media platforms.
7. Social Media: Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Tiktok, Linkedin
You don’t need to show your face to make money online. As an influencer and creator, an anonymous account will work perfectly. You will need to monetize your account with Ads, Affiliate links, sponsored posts, sponsored content, selling products, channel membership, Links to your website, etc.
Of course, If you want to become famous, you must build an online reputation by doing and sharing awesome content. This is the basis of any revenue model. You need to have loyal fans who will interact with your content and listen to what you have to say.
8. Social Media Marketing
Another great way to make money online is thru social media marketing. You can run accounts for business owners in order to promote their business in exchange they will pay you a monthly retainer fee.
Some responsibilities of a social media marketer could be taking pictures for content, posting content on a daily basis, and running campaigns.
Conclusion
According to Sarah Blakely- (BIllionaire Entrepreneur) and owner of Spanx, “It’s not about money, brains, or experience- It’s about Action.”
The most important thing is to get started. Getting started is way more important than having a perfect plan.

Things have changed so much in the last couple of years (and especially after the pandemic). A whole world of opportunities have opened up.
The only one I would be worried about is the dropservice, unless I would know the person. Otherwise your reputation would be on the line if the person you outsource drops the ball.
Lani
Hi Mayra,
I totally agree with you. I too have not personally tried dropservice, there was a webinar though that I attended teaching me how to find the right people. However, I did dropshipping and there’s also that risk with not personally knowing the seller, product quality, etc. As with any business, there’s always that risk- Research and reviews are really important.
