Talking about money has always been a bit of a sensitive topic. Most people would rather complain about not having enough than dare to dream about how they could actually get more. But here’s an uncomfortable truth: if you don’t take control of your future, someone else will do it for you.
For me, it all started with an idea to create something of my own. I didn’t just want to work – I wanted to build. I didn’t just want to survive – I wanted to live. And 2025 is an exceptional time for just that. Never before have there been so many opportunities to scale quickly, build passive income, and reach a global audience. But with opportunity comes noise—and most people get stuck just scrolling through it.

Opportunities to Get Rich in 2025 – What Works?
There are a number of strategies out there, but let me be clear: it’s not about finding a magic method. It’s about identifying a path that suits you, one that you can follow all the way – consistently, data-driven and focused.
Here are some of the methods I’ve tested myself – and seen others succeed with.
1. Understand What People Want (and give it to them)
We humans are pretty predictable. An old rule of thumb says that the six best-selling areas are:
- The dream of wealth
- The pursuit of beauty
- Fear of illness
- Children’s education
- Fear of losing status
- Sex
You don’t have to tick all the boxes. I started with fashion. I built Gentlemannaguiden – a website for men who wanted to invest in classic garments with soul and quality. By focusing on a target group with purchasing power (older men with money to spend) and offering high-margin products, I was able to scale up quickly through affiliate marketing.
Lesson learned:
Work with products that have a high value per transaction – this reduces the volume requirement and increases the profit margin immediately.
2. Parasite SEO – The Brutal Shortcut to Top Rankings
Google’s algorithm updates have hit small players hard. But it has also opened a new door that I hadn’t paid much attention to before: Parasite SEO. This involves publishing content on already authoritative domains (Medium, LinkedIn, Telegram, X, Substack) to quickly rank on long-tail keywords with high purchase potential.
Example
By writing an article about “best crypto casinos” on Medium, with the right optimization, you can rank high in search results in a fraction of the time it would take to build a new domain.
Advantages
- Fast indexing
- Strong domain authority
- Free tools
Disadvantages
- Less control over the platform
- Can be removed if you don’t follow the rules
- Difficult to track progress via e.g. Google Search Control and Ahrefs
In this area, you can also experiment with platforms such as Socialplug.io for CTR manipulation, for example. This is especially useful for testing on one of your Medium channels, which you may be able to afford to “burn” if Google decides to penalize your methods.
3. The iGaming Industry – Still One of the Most Profitable

Online casinos, or the iGaming Business, as it is also called, are one of the most lucrative areas on the internet, period. Many people think that the train has already left the station, but that’s not true. It’s just changed tracks.
Here’s why the gaming industry is still hot:
- Huge amounts of money
- High commissions for affiliates
- Global interest, all year round
But… the competition is fierce. That’s why you have to think smart – and sometimes unconventionally. One of the most effective ways to succeed today is to target unlicensed casinos. But it’s also important to remember that you can’t actively market these in many of the markets, so you’ll have to get creative if you want to reach players.
It is not illegal, for example, in Sweden to play at casinos without a Swedish license, but you may have to pay tax on any winnings from certain casinos. However, at casinos with an MGA license (Malta license), you do not have to pay tax on your winnings.
Choosing the right affiliate program to market casinos in the right market is key to successfully earning money as an affiliate.

Another hot area that is only growing stronger every month is crypto casinos. On markets like India, they are really sought-after, so here you could have a real gold mine in your hands with the right geo-targeting.

Here’s how to do it:
- Use platforms such as YouTube, Telegram, Medium, and X (Former Twitter) to create content around niche search terms (Parasite SEO).
- Build up credible content with comparisons, reviews, and guides
- Think long term – revenue share is where the big money is
You can get up to €500 CPA per player, but it’s the revenue share model (often 25–50%) that creates lifetime income.
4. Become a Sub-affiliate in the iGaming Industry – And Reap the Rewards Passively
When I discovered sub-affiliate systems in iGaming, I realized there was a whole new level of passive income. Here’s how it works:
- You recruit other affiliates (e.g. via social media, articles or guides)
- They market casinos via their own links
- You get a percentage (often 5–10%) of everything they earn – without doing any work
Are you lucky enough to get a star among your sub-affiliates? Then you can live well just off their earnings.

Platforms to check out:
- Campeon Affiliates – Wide reach among MGA casinos
- Clickout – Strong and innovative among crypto casinos and Telegram casinos
- Mio Media – Strong brands in gamification
- Stars Partners – Global presence
5. Dietary Supplements – High Margins, Low Regulation

Health is still one of the hottest niches online. With the right supplements – especially in testosterone, weight loss or anti-aging (collagen) – you can earn a lot of money as an affiliate.
Why it works:
- High global interest
- High conversion rate
- Repetitive purchases → recurring commission
Top programs right now:
- Fanfuel – Up to 50% revenue share
- Nutriprofits – Up to 40% per sale
Unlike the gaming industry, this is an area where you can freely advertise on platforms such as Meta, Google, and TikTok – if you know how to do it right.
Conclusion – Don’t be Blinded by the Possibilities
The biggest threat to success today is not a lack of resources – it’s a lack of focus. You have to decide on a path and stick to it.
For me, it took almost a decade before I started making really good money with my site. But I stuck with it. If I had had today’s tools and SEO strategies from the beginning, it would have taken half the time.
At the same time, I can also admit that it’s much more challenging today, when basically anyone can create a well-written article using AI. This has created a competitive environment that is brutal for new websites.
That’s why it’s a good idea to create videos on YouTube from the start, as these tend to rank well.
My advice to you:
- Set a concrete goal
- Track everything you do
- Analyze, optimize, repeat
- Be obsessed with statistics
- And above all – never stop building
