Tired of the day job? Well, don’t quit it just yet, because when you want to make money working online, it often takes a little while before you’re really bringing in enough cash to pay the bills. That said, you can get started pretty easily, and you have a lot of options open to you. What we list here are just a few of literally thousands upon thousands of opportunities available on the web. Read on…
Freelance Work
Whatever you’re good at, there’s someone out there who’s not good at it. Someone who has a lot of money, who’s not good at it. Someone who has a lot of money, who isn’t good at it, and needs it done. This could be writing, it could be graphic design, it could be website building, it could be writing music or making videos or drawing comic strips or… Well, it could be anything. Whatever you’re good at, there’s a freelance market for it. So set yourself up with a little online portfolio (it could just be a blog with some samples) and look around for some freelancing opportunities. The downside here is that you’re going job to job, so you never know for certain that you’ll have the money for rent at the end of the month, but, as a way to supplement your income, you can’t do much better than getting paid for what you love.
Make Some Videos
There are a lot of sites that host videos, and a lot of these sites will share some of the ad revenue with you. Some even give you a whopping seventy percent of the ad revenue, and anyone can post anything they want as long as it doesn’t violate copyright laws. You never know how popular a video will be until you post it and see how many views you get, but here’s what tends to get a lot of views: Funny mishaps, cute kittens and babies, and useful how-to videos. If you make one funny or cute or helpful enough to get featured on national television, you can be raking in the views and, of course, the ad revenue. There are many modern filmmakers who make their living solely off of banner ad revenue for their viral videos.
Sell Stuff!
The trick to selling stuff on auction sites is the same as selling stuff at a store: Buy low and sell high. You can double your money each week if you know what you’re doing. You can either buy products wholesale, or just wander around garage sales and flea markets, spotting rare finds and selling them to serious collectors on the internet. This is a great way to invest a little bit of money. You can get started by buying a small wholesale lot or a few collector’s items for a single week’s pay, and then possibly double that money, and use it to reinvest back into your online retail business.
The bottom line is that there are a lot of options out there. These are just three of them. Truth is that this doesn’t even scratch the surface, it’s just three ideas drawn out of a hat. Get out there and find the opportunity, and good luck!
