Earn money by viewing ads on the Brave Browser is a browser created by Brendan Eich, the founder of Firefox & Javascript. It currently has over 5.5 million monthly users and comes with built in ad-blocking technology and a Tor private browsing feature. Brave Brave works by paying users to view ads which have been approved by the Brave team. You will get paid in the cryptocurrency BAT (Basic Attention Token) for viewing the ads which appear as little notifications on the bottom left of the browser screen. BAT can also be redeemed for any currency of your choice when you choose to withdraw. Adverts appear occasionally whilst browsing and you are able to import passwords, bookmarks, history and other data from Chrome or other browsers making the switch easy. It’s a good way to make some money whilst browsing the internet or doing your daily activities, the adverts are like little push notifications that you just click on, which then opens the site in a new tab and you get paid for that click! You can also get paid by becoming a Brave publisher, so if you have a YouTube channel, Twitch channel, website or blog you can verify your channel or site with Brave and start getting tips in BAT. This is also a great way to monetise your YouTube channel or blog, the browser is free to use just like Chrome & Firefox and is a decent way to make some spare change whilst browsing the web.

You can also use Instagram or YouTube influencers to promote your products. For really popular influencers you can offer $50-$100 per promo and $20-$50 per promo for the lesser known influencers. If you start an online store remember that you are building a brand, be sure to have social media pages for your business, a suitable name, a decent logo and decent looking store. You can also build a blog into your store and write about subjects in your niche to drive traffic towards your store. For example if you are selling hair bundles you can create a video blog series detailing how to install the wigs you sell. Create a text blog post and a YouTube video, next embed the YouTube video into your blog post and add your blog link to your YouTube video. This way they both feed traffic back to each other, to make things simple you can make the YouTube video first and create the blog post summarising the video with a step-by-step guide. Starting an online store is a marathon, not a race, it will take time for your store to grow, especially with blogging which slowly builds up traffic over time.
