Working from home and making money online is becoming easier than before. Some years ago you would have been considered working when people saw you with a suit, a pair of leather shoes and maybe a briefcase heading to a corporate office. However, this has totally changed. In fact, the work from home geeks makes a lot of money than most employees of big companies.
This sounds too good to be true, right? However, consider a YouTuber like DanTDMn who made $18.5 million in 2018 alone. All thanks to the vast number of online sites and applications like youtube, twitch, Upwork, envanto and many others that connect people with certain desires to experts in the same fields. Below are some of the easy yet high paying jobs you can do from the comfort of your home.
1. Video blogging.
If you have been using facebook recently, you might have noticed that that text content is diminishing while video content is gaining supremacy. People love watching videos. Youtube can be a good proof of the same. It has grown into the world’s most visited website and the largest video sharing platform worldwide. If you believe you are good at a particular niche say cooking, skating, gaming or any thing then this platform might make you a consistent passive income. Signing up on youtube is completely free. However, you don’t get monetized immediately you upload your first video. You must achieve 1000 subscribers and at least 4000 watch hours. This doesn’t seem too long to start making 1 to 3 dollars for every 1000 views.
2. Testing websites and mobile apps.
Imagine visiting and a website, inspecting its User interface and interactivity and then giving feedback. Easy right? With this super easy task you get paid at least 8 – 10 dollars. Businesses and brands pay people a lot of money to people in order to try out their websites and apps and comment on their interaction with the UI/UX or even video commercials . The paid dudes, through their websites, then pay you to test out the sites on their behalf. I know most of you are currently thinking why not negotiate with the brands yourself and keep the whole sum of cash. Trust me, approaching the businesses isn’t easy you need an established business.
3. Proofreading for money.
Are you good English and want to make money with the same skill? Then this job is good for you. You will basically be required to check for errors in essays, manuscripts, blog posts and other long text materials. With this you can make a decent income beginning from $2000 a month, depending on the amount of time you sacrifice and work you do.
4. Tutoring online for money
Online tutoring provides you with flexibility in working hours and also gives you unlimited time to spend with your family. Students often get stuck in some topics when studying at home. One of the ways these students prefer to get answers and concepts is through professionals via the internet. You can take this as an opportunity where you teach them in exchange for an agreed fee.
5. Blogging
Though being one of the best ways to make a large amount of money online, this method is almost the hardest. However, if you maintain consistency, you can make as much as $150,000 in one month. But as I have said, this is not a get rich quick method. It takes time and a lot of effort to take a blog from zero to even 200 dollars a month. In fact, almost 95% of startup bloggers give up and turn to other ways which they think can make them money fast. You know many people on youtube lie on making cash fast doing nothing even while sleeping. Remember those guys too are trying to make money through your views.

What next? Upload your videos on youtube, Facebook and other video platforms. To motivate you, Ninja has accumulated a net worth of $10 million dollars according to celebrity net worth.
12. Become an app developer
Becoming an app developer is not very easy. In this case, even blogging is even easier. Being an app developer requires knowledge in coding and software development.
