How to make money online in Morocco
The routes that genuinely exist, what each one asks for, what each one pays, and which to start with. No promise of passive income or of a miracle method.
Type that question into a search engine and you will mostly get pages selling a course. This one sells nothing: it describes the routes that exist, what they ask for, what they pay, and at what stage they open.
A warning first, because it saves time: there is no online income without regular work. What does exist are activities where the work you do today keeps paying tomorrow — and that is very different from passive income.
This guide starts from the case of a fashion content creator in Morocco, because that is what we know. The logic holds beyond it.
Where the Moroccan market stands
The number of people publishing for an audience in Morocco has exploded in a few years: from around 1,400 in 2018 to some 60,000 in 2022, according to Marouane Harmach, a digital communications expert, quoted by Le360 in March 2025.
What that means for you in practice: the space is taken on general subjects, and it is still open on precise ones. A "fashion" account faces tens of thousands of others; an account about "size 44 and up in Morocco" faces almost none.
A second, less obvious consequence: brands now have plenty of choice for visibility, and far less for actual sales. That gap is exactly where affiliate sits, since it pays on orders rather than on views.
The four routes
Route 1 · Affiliate
You recommend a product with a link or a code of your own, and you earn a commission on every order. One order is one commission, whatever the follower count beyond the 5,000 required to apply.
- To begin : Nothing — an account and a link
- First income : From the first sale
Route 2 · Content for brands
A brand pays you to produce photos or videos it will publish itself. Your audience is not part of the deal: what is bought is your production work.
- To begin : A phone and three samples
- First income : On the first invoice
Route 3 · Paid partnerships
A brand pays to be seen by your community. This is the model people picture when they say "influence", and it arrives last: it needs an established audience.
- To begin : An engaged audience and a track record
- First income : After several months
Route 4 · Your own products
Selling what is yours: a curated edit, a guide, a collaboration piece. Full margin, no dependence — but everything is yours to build, from the product to customer service.
- To begin : A product, stock, logistics
- First income : After months of preparation
