30 real jobs during coronavirus lockdown (Work from Home or Anywhere)
Who wouldn’t love to have the freedom to work remotely from any
location? Imagine working from the comfort of your favorite seat at home. Well,
all that is possible through online jobs.
These are some of the top online jobs to work from home or anywhere
in the world. These online jobs are great money-making opportunities to help
you improve your financial future.
A number of different online sites offer excellent opportunities for
you to make money. But, you must also be able to identify the legit
opportunities before you fall into the hands of some cons.
If you are interested in online jobs, whether part-time or full-time
jobs, this article provides just the right and legit jobs for you.
Here are
some legitimate websites that pay:
01. Etsy – If you like to create arts and
crafts, you can sell them on Etsy. It’s completely free to open an Etsy store.
You simply sign up, post pictures of your creations and starting selling. You
can choose your payment option, but PayPal is generally the easiest. Etsy makes
it easy to sell and keep track of your inventory. There is a small listing fee
and they take 3.5% of every sale you make.
02. Facebook – Facebook swap shops are great for
selling things locally. It’s like Craigslist, but a little easier. You simply
search for swap shops in your area and ask to join the group. Once you’re in,
take a picture of the item, write a quick description with the price and post
it. It doesn’t get much easier than that. You can generally expect to get about
what you would get at a yard sale, maybe a little more.
03.
Advertising – This is
definitely the most old-school way of earning money with a blog. It’s also
starting to become the least common way. You can sell advertising spots
directly on your site or you can sign up with a company like Google AdSense or
Media.net. Either way, you won’t see a whole lot of money from ads until your
views are well into the thousands each day.
04.
Affiliates – There are
many affiliate networks, such as FlexOffers and CJ Affiliate that allow you to
promote other people’s products and services. You simply put a link or a banner
on your page and then you get a percentage if someone clicks through and buys
the product/service. You’ll want to select products that are specifically within
your blog’s category.This is an effective way to earn money once you have the
traffic coming to your blog.
05.
Membership – Many people
have created a paid membership area on their blog. This is typically for
exclusive content that you can only access in the “member’s area.” If you have
a really great idea on what to include, this can be a great idea. You’ll have to create something that can’t
easily be accessed around the web.
06. Products – You can create your own product,
such as an ebook or computer software. You would then use your blog as a
promotion tool to get people to buy your product. As long as you create a
legitimate product with a whole lot of value, you should be able to get some
buyers, but like everything else with a blog, you’ll need the traffic to get
the sells.
07. Services – You can offer a paid service, such
as life coaching, blog coaching, goal setting or financial planning. Just be
sure to investigate all the legal implications and make sure you’re not
claiming to be a professional if you’re not one. With a service like this,
you’re basically using your blog to sell yourself. You’ll need to convince
people that you’re worth buying and then be able to back up your claims once
they purchase your service.
08.
Sponsored/paid posts –
Many blogs publish sponsored and paid posts. Sponsored posts are basically just
posts about a specific brand, product or service. A company will pay you to
publish an article about it. It’s similar with other paid posts as well. Your
basically selling the spot for the article on your site. If you decide to take
this route, you’ll want to build your traffic before you will get many offers.
09.
Subscription – If you
think of something valuable (newsletter, online magazine, etc.) that you can
consistently offer on a certain basis (weekly, monthly, etc.), you may want to
offer a subscription service. This could be a fee charged each time your
product is sent out or on a monthly basis. Either way, this has to be something
that your customers can only get by subscribing to your website.
10. Videos – This could be an entire section on
it’s own. Many people have made money by creating YouTube videos. Evan of
EvanTube is a kid and he has made millions by creating reviews of products that
other kids his age would use. It’s not easy to get views into the millions, but
once you do, you’ll start seeing some cash come in. Many bloggers have
completely turned to videos to get their point across by starting a video blog.
11. Fast
Chart – Fast Chart
allows you to work from home as a medical transcriptionist. There are some
requirments and qualifications listed on the page, but if you meet them, you’ll
make competitive pay for the industry. You’ll also be able to set your own
schedule since you’ll be working from home.
12.
Swagbucks – Swagbucks is
great for earning some extra cash. You can do a variety of things to make
money, from taking surveys to using their search engine. You won’t get rich,
but you will earn a few bucks. If you have the time to kill, you can spend it
earning some extra cash, instead of surfing the web.
13.
InboxDollars –
InboxDollars is similar to Swagbucks, since you’re going to be taking surveys,
shopping, etc., so if you want to maximize your return, sign up with both
websites. They also offer a search engine that pays you (like Swagbucks) and
you get $5 just for signing up. I won’t
continue to list survey sites one after another down the list, but if you want
to get paid to take surveys, also check out GlobalTestMarket, E-Poll Surveys
and Survey Club.
14. Project
Payday– Project Payday
is one of those sites that has testimonials of people who have earned thousands
of dollars by getting paid to get trial offers. I’m not saying you’ll earn
thousands, but it is legit and you can earn some extra cash. They assume that
by paying you to do a free trial, you’ll either like the product and purchase
it, or forget to cancel the trial and get charged for it. If you can keep track
and cancel before you get charged (if you don’t want the product), then this is
a great site for making some money.
15. User
Testing – User Testing
pays $10 a pop for testing websites. A test usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
The purpose is for a website owner to watch someone, who is new to their site,
try to navigate it. The value that the site owner gets by watching an actual
user experience is worth a ton, but $10 isn’t a bad pay-out.
16. Fiverr – Fiverr is a great place to make a
few bucks or spend a few bucks if you need some of the services people offer.
Basically, everything is $5. You either pay $5 or charge $5. They call them
“gigs.” You can offer your services however you choose. If you sell art and
you’re fine selling pieces for $5 each, that’s a gig. If you’re a graphic
designer and you want to offer your services for $10/hour, simply offer a 30
minute gig. If they need two hours of graphic design, they pay you $20, or
$10/hour by buying four gigs.
17. IZEA – IZEA works in addition to a blog
or on its own. You get paid to blog, tweet, take photos and take videos. The
pay is mostly based on your following, so if you want to make money with your
tweets, you’ll need to grow you Twitter following. Likewise, if you want to make money with
blogs, you’ll need substantial blog traffic (more on blogging below).
18.
Listverse – Listverse
pays $100 for each accepted post. The article must be a list, it must be at
least 1,500 words and you must include at least 10 things. Other than that, you
can get pretty creative with it.
19. TopTenz – TopTenz pays $50 for each accepted
post. Again, the article has to be in a list format and it must be at least
1,500 words, with few exceptions. They post often so your chances of getting
accepted are fairly high.
20. A List
Apart – A List Apart
pays $200 for each accepted post. They’re not first on the list, because they
tend to publish less articles, which means you have a smaller chance of getting
accepted. Same guidelines as above, 1,500 word minimum.
21.
International Living –
International Living pays $75 for each accepted post. They are mostly looking
for travel experiences from countries you have visited. For this site, it’s
more about your experience than your writing ability.
22.
FundsforWriters –
FundsforWriters pays $50 for each accepted post. They are looking for articles
about writing and making money with it. They only accept articles between
500-600 words, but they want you to make each word count.
23. Uxbooth – Uxbooth pays $100 for each
accepted post. They do tend to take four to eight weeks to accept and post
articles, so don’t count on this being a quick money maker. They take so long,
because they pair with editors to only publish amazing content.
24. iWriter – iWriter pays up to $15 for each
accepted post. That may seem small, but they aren’t as strict as many of the
others above and they also allow you to pick exactly what you write. You can
write as many or as few articles as you want.
25.
Textbroker – Textbroker
pays up to five cents per word, if you’re a 5-star writer. You’ll start by
submitting a short sample article and you will most likely start as a 3-star
writer, but you can work your way up by writing more and writing great content.
26. Matador
Network – Matador
Network pays up to $60 for each accepted post, but standard pay is around
$20-$25. They don’t really focus on a minimum word count, but they have a maximum
count of 1,500 words.
27. The
Penny Hoarder – The
Penny Hoarder pays up to $800 (rarely), depending upon the number of page views
you receive. The pay starts at $100 for 50,000 page views, so this isn’t a
guaranteed paid article, but it can potentially be highly rewarding.
28. Amazon – Have you heard of FBA? It stands
for “Fulfilled by Amazon” and it’s getting pretty popular. Basically, you buy
products (in bulk is best) and ship them to Amazon for them to store. When your
products sell, Amazon packs them up, ships them out and sends you the money
(after taking their cut). There are people making a full-time living from FBA,
while others just do it for some extra money.
29.
CraigsList – Some things
don’t ship very well. Other things may make you feel uncomfortable to sell to
someone across the country. Anytime you’re selling a large item or something
you just don’t want to ship, Craigslist is a great place to go. It’s simple to
list your item (again, take good pictures!). If you don’t like the idea of
putting your phone number out there, the interested individual can send you a
message to your inbox without even getting your email address.
30. eBay – Of course you can’t read an
article about making money online that doesn’t mention eBay. You can start an
eBay store and get serious about it or you can just sell some stuff to
declutter your home. Either way, I’ve made my fair share from selling on eBay
and it’s still a popular way to earn money. If you decide to start an actual
eBay store, you’ll want to find a drop-ship business like Doba that will store
and ship items straight to your customers so you don’t have to deal with an
inventory.

ReplyDeleteToday we are in lockdown, and the discussion has moved on to how we are going to get out of it. Much flustered navel gazing inevitably ensues as Lockdown it dawns upon the great and the good, political and scientific, that a dynamic market economy cannot be held in suspended animation forever. So where does it all go from here?
