So what if you’re a homebody who wants to earn yet doesn’t want to go out much? Did you know that you can earn money online? All you need is a good internet connection, computer or laptop, and skillset, then you’re ready to go!
There’s hundreds of websites that you can make use of to offer products or services, but here are the Socialyy’s top 10 recommendation:
10. UpWork
This is probably one of the most famous freelance platforms with over 70 job categories available. If you’re a beginner, and looking for an extra income to make out of your skill, then UpWork is (one of the) best places for you!
Just simply sign up, edit your profile, and wait until their team approves your account. If so, highlight the skills that you want to offer as well as your personal rate, and wait until a client hires you or you can choose a project to work with.
The website assures you, and your client that everything will set in place. You work, they pay! It’s credible and secure. If you manage to produce a quality output, you can get not only a freelance gig, but clients can also offer you long-term contracts and referrals.
From earning a few bucks from freelancing to thousands of dollars from a regular income, UpWork is recommended!
9. SkillShare
An online learning community that creates an opportunity for you, and to those who wanna learn more about a certain skill or path whether online, meetups, and community centers.
Take time to upload personal videos teaching a certain person or community, and giving them ideas about your profession, then you get paid for it! What’s even cooler is that you can exchange courses from other users if you wanted to learn their skills too.
You can choose plenty of courses available, and it doesn’t have to last long. Even a 28-minute video tutorial is accepted.
Another note to remember, SkillShare already has organic traffic so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.
8. REV
If you have extra time, without any special skills but have ears to hear, and probably wide variety of discernment as well, then you can try out REV, a transcribing website that offers direct transcription, caption, foreign subtitles, and translation to its customers in your own pace, at your own time.
REV would provide audio or video files which you need to transcribe. Rate varies per transcription content and length. But you’ll just listen, and type what you hear. Clients leave feedback and the team behind REV would let you know what they think.
As far as we know, they have specific set of ratings for you to stay or else they’d drive you out of the site. But you have lots of room to improve, and just create another account.
7. Fiverr
Because of the low income rate you can get from UpWork, Fiverr has been alternative for many. It has the same purpose, to earn as a freelancer but with higher income, or that’s what they said.
Earn from $5 by just offering a skill. At the same time, you can also buy services from Fiverr by being a middleman or what they call ‘drop servicing.’ What you can do is to list yourself on UpWork. Then, find someone on Fiverr to do the projects you’ve chosen in UpWork by giving yourself commission, and decreasing their price. Sell and get markup.
6. ClickFunnels
Everybody online needs a webinar, landing pages or other sort of Funnels, a step-by-step process that an interested customer will have to go through for a conversion in your part – and ClickFunnels is a great tool to use.
It’s a software or a program that helps people create landing pages memberships, offers different courses, and sales funnels online whether Option, Sales, Webinar, Membership, Affiliate, Clickpop, and other miscellaneous, such without of course, coding.
It promotes Affiliate Marketing for a commision. Basically, you promote a certain software or tool in ClickFunnels, and you get something out of it. It gathers leads and makes sales.
5. Udemy
Think of it as another SkillShare as it offers a wide variety of courses shared online. They let you sell and take courses no matter what level you are or regardless of prequalifications, for a low-price and in your own pace.
Here’s the price policy:
If you based on the Organic Commission, you’ll get 50% of the total sales.
If you give out course deal/s, you’ll receive half of the total sale.
If you provide affiliates, you can typically receive 25% of commission and;
If you handed out personal coupons, you’ll receive 97% of the total sales.
They already have a team that built traffic on their website so you don’t have to worry whether people can find your courses online or not.
4. ClickBank
Another Affiliate Marketing Company that is simpler, has large selection of affiliate products to choose from, allows you to be a vendor or affiliate for free with good commission rates.
The site would upload products from different producers placing it on their several categories available, and all you have to do is to promote a certain product where prices are listed already, and get a commission out of it.
3. Flippa
An uncommon yet quite old news to make money online by selling your personal established apps, website, domain or any digital assets through auctions and classified listings. And this is what Flippa offers.
It typically allows people who already created a set-up website, and sells them for a reason. From here, you can even buy domain names, websites, and apps from these people, and sell it for a higher price for other consumers to buy. If the site you listed is already driving traffic online, then that’s a bonus!
It’s somehow recommended to search established websites already so it’s easier to sell. Then Flippa would show you lists of websites and domains along with their price list that changes monthly or through bidding but each classified doesn’t end until it is sold or removed from the listing.
Aside from traffic, you can choose if the website is advertised by Google Adsense so you or the people you’re selling it to can earn immediately.
But remember, once the transaction starts, Flippa doesn’t need to take part in it.
2. Amazon Associates
Another round for the popular Affiliate Marketing Network is the Amazon Associates. You might’ve heard of this before, but you just going to promote products from Amazon and get commission from it.
For example, you open up your own Entrepreneurial website, and place certain products with links for your readers to buy. Now, if you’re part of the Associates, and link this to Amazon, that’s the time you’ll earn the referral up to 10%, and I guess 12% if they really bought the product.
And that’s it! The best way to do this is through blogging. Remember this step when you create content offering products online. It’s highly recommended for beginners, and new in affiliate marketing.
1. Youtube
You can’t deny how popular Youtube is now, more than ever! From the simplest helpful tutorials, to entertainment purposes, Youtube has gone a long way. The so-called “Vloggers” paved their way to create a new environment for beauty, lifestyle, food, games, recreations, and other sorts of community.
I’ve heard that even the lousiest channels can earn thousands, if not millions of money from Youtube through advertisement or Google AdSense.
It’s growing, and it will continue to grow. Be creative, think of fun or in-demand content that everyone would like whether you talk, be the star, or not.
It’s not hard to create a youtube channel. Why try, and upload something? You might be the next viral channel out there!
There’s a lot of opportunity created online. You don’t have to move much, and just stay at the comfort of your home. I’ve known a bunch who doesn’t have a degree yet earning a pretty decent income. Why not make something of your techy-mind, and start now?
