Expertise, inclination, and dedicated time are the only resources you will need to start making money from the internet right from the luxury of your home. ET explains a couple of established methods through which you can make that much needed extra money or a permanent job.
Unlike permanent or temporary employment, which involves daily full-time employment, part-time employment is temporary and lasts as long as the project you are engaged in. At the same time, you can have several part-time jobs paid in agreement with the employer. Although you do not have an imposed working time, you have a deadline (delivery deadline) that you must comply with not to have a problem with your employer, client.
Remember the artist. They make their money part-time. Artists have no place to hire and are forced to work part-time for the rest of their lives.
It is desirable to have a contract for each part-time job. If you do not have a contract and work with strangers, it will be tough to prove fraud if it comes to it.
So let us first ask the right question:
How to make money from home!
Education is one of the best investments that any person can make. Except for formal education, there is self-education. Many people do not talk a lot about self-education, and they think that free online courses, the internet is not a good source to learn important stuff. But it is a mistake.
The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself… The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.
Warren Buffett
Freelancers do not need theoretical knowledge – they solve problems, help people, earn money for themselves and other people. So, in my opinion, we can split all ideas into 7 groups :
Group 1: Internet programming, freelance jobs on web portals, doing tasks for other people.
Group 2: Passive income: trading, finance, investing.
Group 3: Selling physical products
Group 4: Selling digital products.
Group 5: Writing, blog writing.
Group 6: Art
We will not talk all about these 6 groups. Below are just a few ideas that you can use to answer how to make money from home.
The internet is home to thousands of fraudulent companies that claim to pay you large sums of money for delivering on their work. But in reality, they don’t. Never believe companies that promise to pay you money for filling up surveys or those that ask you to make payment upfront. To get reliable work and payments on time, you can refer to elance and Odesk or freelancer.com.
IF you want to find a part-time job, I can suggest a freelancer job website that lists new and past jobs for the last 6 years. So you can see for a special job example job post look.
These sites offer freelance jobs and require you to become a member to look for jobs. You must also prove your skills by taking tests. If interested, people can hire you on an hourly basis, and the trick to earning more is to deliver on your tasks as per deadline and build your reputation.
Group 1: Internet programming, freelance jobs on web portals, doing tasks for other people.
