Any time you make a sale, you get paid a commission. A lot of influencers make the bulk of their income through affiliate marketing.
9. Dropshipping
This is another great way to make Rs.200k fast in India. Dropshipping is an e-commerce model where you don’t keep stock of the products you’re selling in your store.
You simply advertise various products online through your e-commerce site. Whenever you get an order, you then use the money to buy the item from a cheap supplier and then have it shipped to the buyer. It has very little risks (since you don’t need to keep stock) and a very high profit potential.
10. Sell digital products
Digital products include ebooks, templates, PDFs, WordPress themes and plugins, digital art, music, and many other things.

11. Become a user tester
There are many companies such as UserTesting that pay people to visit apps and websites, do tasks, and then give their opinions.
12. Provide online tutoring services
If you are good at any academic/vocational topics such as Math, science, music, etc., you can become an online tutor and start offering your services to students globally.
And if you would like to take it to the next level, you can create a prerecorded course and then publish it on platforms such as Teachable and Udemy. That means you wouldn’t have to spend any time actively teaching. Creating a course is one of the best ways to create passive income. You can easily make 200,000 Rupees in a week in India with this idea.
