5 Interesting & easy ways to Earn Money from Home
A lot of online money making opportunities are aimed squarely at people living in the United States or Western Europe. In these countries it is easy to set up a PayPal account and withdraw money to your bank account or use an ATM card that they can provide. But what if you live in a country where these PayPal services are not available?
There is always a way to earn money from home using the Internet wherever you are located in the world. Don’t let the fact that you don’t have a PayPal account deter you from doing this. In this article we will take a look at the top 5 ways of earning money online globally.
Provide Freelancing Services
Do you have a skill that you can offer companies and individuals? Can you research and write articles? What about web design? Or are you an expert at coding and can produce useful apps or web functionality? There are a number of freelancing websites that use different payment methods so that virtually anybody can list their services and get paid.
There is a lot of money to be made on websites such as Upwork.com and Fiverr.com. Both of these can make payments to you if you have a Payoneer account. When you join Upwork you will need to create a profile and showcase your skills. It is best to focus on one skill area and not be a “jack of all trades”. Customers on Upwork are looking for experts to solve their problems.
With Fiverr you will be marketing your services by creating “gigs”. You can create up to 20 separate gigs and you will need to provide details of what services you will provide and the “extras” that you can provide.
There are a lot of other freelancing websites and some of the best ones are Freelancer.com and Guru.com. You need to understand that there is a lot of competition on these websites for work so you need to stand out from the crowd to make good money.
Be a Translator
With the world becoming more global there is always a need for translation services. To provide this service from home you will need to be able to receive a document in one language and translate it into another.
There are translation agencies that will provide translation jobs and they will pay you via direct bank transfer or other methods. You can provide oral translation services over the phone as well as writing. Two of the best companies for translation work are SDL.com and Wordexpress.net.
Be a Search Engine Evaluator
Are you interested in how search engines work? Do you have some search engine optimization (SEO) knowledge? The top search engine, Google, works with people around the world to check on the relevancy of the search results that they are providing. Your job is to tell Google if there are pages appearing in the search results that are not relevant.
There are other search related tasks that you can be assigned as a search engine evaluator. Companies that provide this work include Leapforce.com and Lionbridge.com and they are flexible over payments offering direct wire services.
Become a Virtual Assistant
All you need to become a virtual assistant is dedication, a computer and an Internet connection. You will normally be asked to perform such tasks as data entry, bookkeeping, typing and letter writing, making appointments, sending emails and so on.
If you have the skills to do this type of work then there are plenty of companies who will want to hire you. The pay will vary depending on your skill set. Websites that can provide VA work include AssitantMatch.com and VirtualStaffFinder.com.
Sell Internet Marketing Products and Services
There is a huge demand for quality Internet marketing products and services on websites such as the WariorForum.com. The biggest problem that people around the world face with this is that the majority of the members of this forum prefer to use PayPal. The answer to this is to create an account with 2checkout.com.
With 2checkout (2CO) you can accept payments via PayPal, even if you do not have a PayPal account. Once you reach a threshold amount then you will receive a payment from 2CO directly to your bank.
Final Words
If you are looking to make a full time income working from home and using the Internet then don’t just rely on one of these options above. Maximize your chances by using as many of these options as you can.
