6 Legitimate Ways to Make Money from Home
How do you get yourself to make money from home? There are actually 6 legitimate ways to make money from home, which we’ll go over here. The trick is to find the balance between how much time you want to spend working and how much money you want to make.
1) Freelance Writing
Freelance writing is an excellent way to make money from home; it’s flexible, requires few skills, and can be done in your free time. If you’re just starting out, consider picking up some freelance gigs on Upwork or Fiverr—the basic application is pretty straightforward and once you pass their test assignment (usually a sample of your work), you’ll have access to thousands of jobs.
2) Online Tutoring
While you won’t rake in $50K a year, it’s one of those home-based jobs that doesn’t require a lot of startup cash—and if you can drum up business, it could totally work as a full-time gig. The company I used when working as an online tutor (read: legitimate) paid my rent in NYC for 3 months while I worked remotely and made $45K. Anyone can apply.
3) Working as a Virtual Assistant
Working as a virtual assistant is an excellent way to make money from home. Virtual assistants are self-employed and provide services for small businesses and entrepreneurs who need help with their day-to-day administrative work. Some of these tasks include managing calendars, making travel arrangements, taking care of correspondence, and organizing documents. The great thing about being a virtual assistant is that it can be done around your schedule and you don’t even have to leave your home!
4) Selling Things Online
Selling items online is great for two reasons: it gives you something to do when you’re not working, and it gives you an opportunity to make extra money. Many people think they can’t sell their goods because they don’t know what type of goods would be in demand, but that simply isn’t true—many people have become millionaires off of regular items they find at garage sales or thrift stores.
5) Flipping Websites
Sites are a great place to start if you’re looking for an online side hustle. The most popular sites on Flippa (like eBay) have tens of thousands of monthly views and they can be purchased for less than $100. Flipping websites isn’t too different from any other kind of investment, but it is something that requires more attention than simply buying a stock or putting your money in a mutual fund.
6) Working on Amazon FBA
Many people are able to make thousands of dollars per month working on Amazon FBA. It’s not a scam, and it’s quite legitimate. But like any other business, it takes work and there is no guarantee that you will earn money. However, it’s one of many ways you can make money selling products on Amazon and is a good place for beginners to start learning how FBA works.
