We all have bills to sort every end of the month, starting from electricity to gas to school fees and more. You bear me witness that no matter how much you earn, you will still be in need for more. If this were not the case, then Bill Gates would have stopped looking for more. Now the greatest challenges to making money online are: the sources and time. Although the sources are all over and readily available, they are not for all people but for a few who find them. I will use this verse sparingly to paint the picture in our minds of how easy or hard it is to find these jobs: "Narrow and hard is the way that leads to life and few find it." Well the way that leads to LIFE is narrow and hard. Am not talking about eternal life here, am talking about the admirable kind of life everyone is yearning to live.
Anyway forget about all that and let's focus on the topic. How can a person make money online? We have smart devices and computers connected to the internet all the time, how can one utilize the internet and earn from it instead of flipping through Facebook profiles or chatting on whatsapp?
Well there are lots of opportunities out there but they require a "careful examination of the venture" before one makes a decision to enter. But that statement should not scare you but make you cautious. There is the very good part about it and there is a fair take for the blind, just as it is with all businesses. Blind here is used metaphorically.
Now to give you a good base I will highlight some of the best ways you can employ to get money. In fact it will be a surprise to some of us because they will discover that that small idea they have been "sleeping on" can be the next big thing. I want you to be cautioned though, that there are so many predators on the web waiting to pray on those that are hungry to make money. Please uphold the ancient English principle "If the deal is too good, think multiple times"
Here are three of the most common ways of making money online.
1. Academic writing
This involves writing academic related content like academic essays, answering exam practice questions among others. In this kind of activity, you get paid for doing research and writing essays.
If you are good in mathematics science or whichever subject, there is a place for you. In fact this is the only place you can now apply the knowledge of mole concept, calculus, economics, business fiance, etc.
2. Content Writing
Let me explain this in the simplest form. There are people who own websites or blogs and don't have time to write, or don't know how to write quality content. These people usually pay people to write for them. If you are creative and can write engaging or appealing content, then you can make money online.
3. Blogging.
Blogging is simply the art expressing oneself on the web. It is simply showcasing what you love on the internet. Starting from writing to photography to videos etc. People make money when their creativity draws many people to their blog. They serve advertisements on the blog which is converted in to revenue. Though it takes time to build a brand, once established, one can earn lots of cash. Alright lets do the math and see how:
Supposing you have a blog attracting a million people a day and each person is served with an advertisement valued at $0.0001 per impression, how much will you make in a day assuming that all this people saw the ad. It will simply be 0.0001 x 1000000= $1000. Multiply by hundred to make it Kenyan money. This gives you Kes 10,000 x 30 = KES 300,000 ( Its just math not real....)
4. Working on Freelance sites
With this one, you sign up with a freelance site where people post jobs. You then bid for any type of Job and once completed successfully, you get paid.
There are so many other things you can do to make money but to save you the confusion of where to start and what to do; I have given you these few so that you can have an entry point.
Before I share the sites where you can actually do all this, let me inform you again that, it’s not a easy go. You will need to invest your time and build a name before things ever work out well for you. If you cannot make it through the many tests these sites offer, do not give up, Continue exploring the endless list of opportunities and you will finally get there. Alternatively you can go for blogging and do your math well; you will soon double your income and become financially free.
At this point, I will emphasize again that there are more scam sites than there are legit ones. Be careful lest you fall pray of any scam site. You may end up working and not earning anything. Before you can start working do a research and a search on “the complains” people have made about the particular sites.
The following are the sites where you can do some real work and earn good money. Someone told me that you can really make almost $3000 a month. Now it all depends on your effort and the time you have as well as your abilities
