Four Legit Ways to Make Money Online

Looking for Extra Income? We've Got You!

In the last blog, we talked about surveys, cashback deals, referrals, and other ways to get some money on your PayPal balance. This week, we’ll cover a few realistic ways to make money online. These probably won’t replace your 9-to-5 job, but everything has to start somewhere, right?

4 Ideas to Monetize Your Skills Online

Millions of people use the internet as their primary income source. From freelance nomads to marketers and aspiring entrepreneurs, there are plenty of ideas you can turn into reality with a PC and a reliable internet connection. Here are a few good starting points.

Start Dropshipping

Many people would say the golden days of dropshipping are behind us, but this is just not true. Ecommerce keeps growing and it’s never a bad time to jump in. To put it as simply as possible, dropshipping means selling a product to clients straight from the supplier. You don’t need to have a business, you don’t have to worry about stock, shipping, packaging, or anything else – the supplier takes care of everything.

What’s your responsibility? Finding the right product to sell and the right customers to buy it. Once you find your niche, you can use social media to reach potential buyers, get some influencers to promote your products, run some ads, and see where it takes you.

Create Your Own YouTube Channel

At the moment, there are over 51 million channels on YouTube. Countless content creators make money on the platform, so why not become one of them? If you consider yourself creative and have some original ideas to share with the world, it doesn’t hurt to give it a shot. If you’re just starting, stick to a single niche, whatever it may be, so you can build a loyal audience.

Once your channel gets a certain amount of subscribers and enough watch time (not views!), you can apply for monetization. Stick to creating content people are interested in, use witty headlines that attract attention, and you’ll be on your way. You might not be the next MrBeast or PewDiePie, but you’ll never know unless you try!

Try Freelancing

The easiest and probably the fastest way to make money on the internet is by doing the same thing you do in your 9-to-5 job. However, it’s not the only thing you can try out. Have you always wanted to try writing? Apply for one of the content mills and see how it works.

If you have a good ear, decent typing skills, and speak more than one language, why not try transcription and translation gigs like GoTranscript? You could learn how to make a resume and then sell your resume writing services. You might be into graphic design, teaching, or programming – all these skills are marketable. All you need to do is find clients willing to pay for them.

Even if none of these options sound like something you’d be able to do well enough to get paid, you still have options. Upwork, Solidgigs, and PeoplePerHour all make an excellent starting point for different types of one-off gigs. If you prefer something less serious and more original, give Fiverr a shot. You can create memes, write poems, telepathically communicate with people’s pets, send someone a postcard from your home country, etc.

Share Your Bandwidth

While you’re planning your path to wealth, why not start sharing your bandwidth through Pawns.app? It doesn’t require any skill, and you can start doing it immediately! All you need to do is download the app, create an account, and start sharing. It’s a completely safe way to make some extra cash on the side!

If you have a great “marketing gene”, you can also use your referral link and share it on social media, with friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else who might be interested. If people register through your link, we’ll add a $1 starting bonus to their account. Whenever they withdraw their earnings, you get 10% of it!

It’s a 100% passive income source that you can set up in under a minute, so why not give it a shot?
