Have you always wanted to make money online? Perhaps the draw of giving up your day job, getting out of bed when it suits you, never having to take that rush hour journey to and from the office ever again . . .
. . . the list is endless.
Maybe you have already tried to build an online income, but just haven’t hit an idea that suits you.
Struggling to make money online?
Too many people in your niche?
Need a new angle?
Well, if that’s the case, I may well have the answer for you below.
Read and be amazed that you never thought of these 5 beauties before:
1. Become A Virtual Assistant
Virtual assistants is similar to being a secretary but everything is done online. As a virtual assistant you might do anything from making travel reservations (including booking the pooch into the kennels), to handling expense reimbursements. Throw in a bit of bill paying and arranging for a babysitter, and, well, you get the general drift.
You can do all of these from the comfort your own home office, or the pub, interacting with your clients online and by phone. Plus there is no dress code. Go on I dare you to do this from a naturist colony and forget to turn the camera off when your boss Skypes you!
2. Sell Interviews
You will be surprised that people are actually making money selling interviews they conduct with experts. People are always looking for information online, so tap into that market by interviewing an expert. You can ask the expert the relevant questions, such as the problems people are experiencing, especially in a niche area.
You can have the expert give advice and people will be crashing the Paypal servers in a rush to buy it. This could work really well for potential clients who are experiencing embarrassing problems. You could become a virtual agony aunt, with your legion of video experts on tap.
3. Edit Video or Audio For People
Business owners often promote their services or products using YouTube or podcasts. They may be wanting to create a tutorial or even a full-blown training package. Therefore, there is a high demand for video and audio editing services.
Using a video editor or a simple audio studio software, you can easily offer editing services in return for compensation*.
Another possibility would be to make whiteboard or cartoon videos for local businesses. There are plenty of low cost whiteboard and cartton packages available today that come with a full compliment of graphics, fonts, and music tracks to produce high quality videos.
* I would just find it too tempting to re-edit the order of the words in the audio to make it a bit more interesting (if you get my drift).
4. Donations
Ask for donations on your blog. It’s easy to add a PayPal donate button, and you never know who might be feeling generous. In fact this might be my next move for any of you out there feeling generous!
5. eJury Service
eJury.com is an online platform for Mock Juries and Focus Groups that allow large groups of people help attorneys determine a case value, or develop case themes, or to find the facts to emphasise. This platform helps attorneys prepare for a trial.
You can earn $5 to $10 dollars per verdict as a mock juror for practice trials. Go on I know you want to give this one a go!
