Make Money From Home

With increased uncertainty around job security and longer and longer commutes, more and more people are looking for ways of securing the bag while home. Fortunately, the internet means there are hundreds of different ways to do so – some easier than others, and some with a larger potential than others.

If you’re ready to work from home, you’re in the right place. Here are 5 effective ways to Secure The Bag While At Home.

Securing The Bag While At Home: Freelancing

You can use sites like Fiverr, Upwork and Freelancer to sell your services, as well as selling them on your own through your own website. The best thing about freelancing is you can take a skill you have and get started immediately. So, whether you’re a pro at data analytics, a voice actor, a proofreader, or an animator, there is always a need for skilled people.

Of course, it does take some time to build up a good customer base, and you will – unless you grow the business and hire other people after a year or two – be locked into trading your time for money. However, you can make a living wage relatively quickly.

Securing The Bag While At Home: YouTube

YouTube is a very effective form of passive income because the only prerequisite is that you upload a video. Assuming your video is interesting and it continues to get views over time (and you have adverts enabled!), you can earn revenue on it well after you’ve recorded and posted it. The more great videos you have, the more money you can make.

Generally, most people on YouTube won’t get a living wage for a year or two on the platform. However, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process, rather than simply waiting for ad revenue. Use the platform to sell your own products and services, add a Patreon, or earn money with affiliate marketing (covered below!) and partnering with brands you’d like to promote.

Securing The Bag While At Home: Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s (or company’s) products. You become an affiliate marketer when you find a product you like, promote it to others and, in turn, earn a percentage of the profit for each sale that you make.

Affiliate marketing takes as much effort and time to build up as YouTube, but can be more lucrative provided you’re promoting a product that people will always buy. That way, as long as you’re affiliated with this brand, you’ll literally be earning money in your sleep!

The best affiliate marketing is most often done on your own authority or niche site or blog, but you can also affiliate market on YouTube, via ads and Pinterest, and through other methods.

Securing The Bag While At Home: Teaching English

If you’re looking for a job you can get into quickly and start getting paid for working from home, teaching English is a great option. A large benefit of this option is that it doesn’t require you to spend huge amounts of time investing in a new skill – it simply requires you to be fluent in English.

If you speak English at a fluent level and don’t have a strong accent, you can teach English to children and adults in other countries, even if you don’t speak their language. If you’re bilingual, you’ll likely be able to find better-paid opportunities.

Securing The Bag While At Home: Sell Digital Products

Some digital products rely on your ability to build a platform people follow, but not all. Courses are one of the most popular, but not easy to start right off the bat unless you have prior expertise and use a site like Udemy to sell it. If you’re a skilled writer, publishing eBooks may be a better option if you don’t want to film videos. You can also consider worksheets, workbooks, and other printables to sell on Etsy and other sites.

The best thing about the internet is the opportunity to make money in more than one way, so don’t feel like you have to choose just one of these. If you’re in a situation where you need money ASAP, look for online jobs you can do, such as teaching English or transcribing audio. Later, you can expand and start looking into other avenues that produce an income that is more passive in nature but offers less money upfront.
