How to Earn a Decent Income Working Online

Whether you are looking for a long-time working engagement or a quick emergency cash fix, opportunities are nowadays readily available online. Thanks to technology, physical offices are now winding up and opting for crowdsourcing services. But can we blame them? No, not with the current skyrocketing prices to get a basic compact space to set up an office in the urban centers. This is, however, not a negative. In fact, it translates to flexibility, less commuting, and increased personal time. You just need to know what to do and that’s indisputably working online from home.

There are all sorts of tasks being offered online and your skill can earn you an income from home. Let’s look at some of the opportunities you can undertake.

Become an Online Data Entry Clerk


Data entry is a task that requires little introduction. Only basic computer skills and interpretation of information. Do you have these two skills? Well, register on online data entry agencies and start working. There are numerous platforms that offer data entry services and only require you to create a profile with them and get started.

Some notable platforms include SmartCrowd, UpWork, 2Captcha, and ClickWorker. Clients with data entry tasks post the task for the registered members and the best bidder is awarded the task. The best part is that you get trained on what to do by the client on what to do. Payment methods depend on the platform that you are registered to and your and also coordinates payment so there’s no scam.

Begin an Online Writing Career


Are you a writer? Do you also wish to sell your service from home? If your answer to these two questions is ‘Yes,’ then let’s get you started.

IWriter, Freelancer, Fiverr, PayPerContent, and Upwork are only a few of the platforms you can use. Just like the data entry platforms that we’ve looked at above, you need to register and they work the same. But unlike data entry, a writer needs to be good in order to survive here. Rookies are hardly tolerated here so don’t fake. So, if you are not a writer or write for the sake of writing, this is not for you.

Blogging


Blogging has become a common online phenomenon nowadays. In a world where everyone is either opinionated, looking for certain information, or just seeking gossip. If you decide to start a blog, choose your host and domain name carefully and engage in a topic you really know. Once you are established and have a significant following, adverts placed on your blog site will earn you a considerable income from Google AdSense.

Affiliate Marketing


Whether you are an influencer, a blogger, own a website or cause an online frenzy with your presence on the internet, you can monetize this through affiliate marketing. It's just like a salesman who earns a commission but better. In this form of marketing, you help promote the retailer’s brand on your site and earn a commission through the revenue earned. Payment will depend on whether it's PayPerClick, PayperSale, or any other form of payment you have agreed with the advertiser.

Online Tutoring


If you lack all the above skills but you are an expert in a certain subject, you can teach students online. There are students looking for tutors online and in almost all subjects. This will require you to coordinate with the student behind the screen via conference calls or other platforms designed for this purpose. Mostly, the payment is tallied per hour. Go ahead and impart some knowledge and make some money.
