The Simple Way to Earn More When Your Income Isn’t Enough

More than 90% of people in India earn less than ₹25,000 per month (around $300).

Only 3–5% earn above ₹1 lakh (about $1,200).

But this is not just India. Globally too, most people are stuck under $300–$500 a month, and only a few cross $1,000+.

Still, you too can go from ₹1 lakh or $1,000 to multiple lakhs or thousands every month.

I have personally followed a process and generated this kind of income.

Stay with me till the end of this post, and I’ll share that process in detail.

Two Simple Paths to Create More Income

When I talk about process, I mean two things:

1. What you can do alongside your existing job.
2. What you can add on as a new stream.

Method 1: Offer Services

The first method is to start offering services.

Even in your job right now, you are already providing a service.

You might think: “Won’t this become a second job?”

Yes, maybe. But don’t worry about that right now. Once you find the right process and start earning more than your main job, you can quit the first one.

My Example: LinkedIn Branding Services

A few months ago, I offered LinkedIn branding services.

I created content for people, helped with personal branding, and generated leads.

For this, I charged ₹40,000 per client (around $500). I usually worked with 4–5 clients at a time.

That came to about ₹1.6 lakh ($2,000) in a month.

Later, I stopped because my passion since 2017 has always been coaching.

What Services Can You Offer?

Think about your domain. There is always extra work possible:

• HR → Start HR consulting.
• Sales → Offer sales consulting or training.
• Marketing → Provide marketing consulting or training.
• Academics → Thesis support, content writing, visiting lectures.

When I was in academics, I often got thesis-writing work, content writing projects, and visiting lecture opportunities.

Look into your own domain and see what extra you can do.

Method 2: Learn High-Paying Skills

We live in the internet age.

Just search on ChatGPT or anywhere: “most sellable skills right now” or “future high-paying skills.”

Some of the top high-paying skills today are:

• Copywriting
• Affiliate Marketing
• Digital Marketing

These are powerful because you can either use them for yourself or offer them as services to others.

Method 3: Teaching, Training, Coaching, Consulting

This is my favorite.

Here you can productize your expertise and share it with others.

There are three models:

1. Low-Ticket Courses

If you have expertise in sales, HR, pharma, or marketing, make a short course.

• Keep the price under ₹10,000 (around $120).
• Even ₹3,000–₹4,000 (about $35–$50) works very well in India.
• Record your domain knowledge.
• Add value with industry examples.

Even 10 sales of a ₹10,000 course (about $120) = ₹1 lakh (around $1,200).

Even 10 sales of a ₹3,000 course (about $35) = ₹30,000 (around $360).

Don’t overthink. If you lack ideas, ask ChatGPT. Alternatively, you can book a one-to-one call with me. I’ll help you find the right course idea.

2. Mid-Ticket Courses

Anything under ₹90,000 (around $1,000) is mid-ticket.

If you believe people will buy your course at ₹50,000–₹90,000, go for it.

But if you’re just starting, stick with low-ticket courses first. Build confidence and grow your base.

3. E-books and Small Products

Another option is writing an e-book.

I know people selling $10–$20 e-books on Gumroad.

Start by publishing content on Medium or Substack. Build visibility, then offer your e-book.

At the end of your articles, simply say: “This entire process is explained in my book.”

People will buy.

My Example: NISM Videos

On my YouTube channel, I uploaded videos for the NISM (mutual fund distributor exam). Out of 12 chapters, I uploaded 8–9 as free videos.

Below those videos, I added a link to a ₹199 (about $2.50) one-pager product. I didn’t even mention it in the video — just quietly placed the link.

Students watched the free videos, clicked the link, and bought the product automatically.

Till now, without active selling, that ₹199 (about $2.50) product has brought me ₹9,000–₹10,000 (around $110–$120).

That’s exactly how you too can start small and grow.

Final Thoughts

You don’t need to make a big leap at once.

Start with services, pick a high-paying skill, or create a small product like a course or e-book.

Even ₹30,000 (about $360) extra income can change your confidence.

Once you master the process, earning a ₹25,000 (around $300) salary is just the beginning.

Increasing your income to ₹1 lakh+ per month (about $1,200+) becomes realistic.
