In the golden age of the Internet, the possibilities are limitless. We are all connected online for most of the day, so why not use this time to supplement your income? In this article, we will list the best methods of making money online, whether you want some pocket change for a new hobby or a sizeable income to support yourself!
Our recommended methods are
- Online Tuitions – Earn money along with imparting the gift of learning! Tuition teachers are wanted in every subject along with every language. You can choose to give tuitions in any topic you are comfortable with to pupils of any age range. Multiple websites are facilitating this, so sign up today and make money.
- Blogs and podcasts – Are you good at writing, or do you have an interesting or obscure hobby that you think would make for a good blog or podcast? Show off your skills through your personalized media, and earn money while doing so! You can either earn from ad revenue or making a paid feature. However, the latter is recommended only if you have an established following.
- Sell your craft – Are you experienced with drawing? Perhaps you make beautiful jewelry? Or maybe even paint rocks or build complicated figurines. Any craft is marketable if there is demand. There are multiple websites where you can list your craft and advertise on your social media. Whatever platform you choose, showcase the best of what you have to offer, and your customers will come to you!
- Online trading – This is a risky method as you can lose money as quickly as you can earn it, but if you have some disposable income and are looking to multiply profits, you should try stock trading online! This will require some knowledge about finance and the market, so read up as much as possible and make well-informed decisions.
- Second-hand goods – We all have things lying around our house that we almost never use. To make some quick money, do a thorough cleaning and gather up everything that is barely used in your household and list them on second-hand buying and selling websites! As the adage goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
- Freelancing – If you have a marketable skill that includes but is not limited to content writing and creation, editing, SEO knowledge, technological skills like coding, etc., then consider signing up to freelance for any company that might be looking for your skills. There are websites specifically designed for freelancers, and you will get paid by the hour as well as get the opportunity to hone your skill and add to your CV!
- Social media – Yes, even social media plays a role in earning! If you have a sizeable following, you can get paid to advertise brands or make your brand to sell merchandise. If you are just starting out, try platforms like YouTube and TikTok to get you noticed by people. Earn ad revenue from these websites and then expand into other social media to establish your presence!
While you are in the process of making money online, these are the things to be careful of
- Do not give away your personal details where unnecessary, even if you think the person enquiring is legitimate. Always be wary of what you disclose.
- Do not pay to make money. No legitimate site will ask you for payment (with a few exceptions), so please verify why you are being asked for money.
- Ask for an upfront payment if possible. This applies especially if you are selling products online, as there is a risk of delivering your goods and services but not getting paid by the buyer.
- Be careful about scams. There are numerous methods of making money, and scammers are usually aware of how to appeal to those looking to earn by making false statements that will lead to losing your hard-earned money. Always double-check and verify everything.
- Trust your instinct. The Internet has the potential to be dangerously misleading. Be safe, and if something seems wrong, it is probably best not to follow that method to make money.
We hope this list was useful to you. This is in no way exhaustive, and many niche fields are lucrative.
