What Is Marketing?

Posted on: 3 September 2020

Whether your work has slowed down, you have been laid off from your work, or you have some extra bills and need extra money, there are always some ways you can earn additional money online each month to help you make ends meet in your household budget. Here are some recommendations to help you make some extra money online from the comfort of your own home.

Sell Your Items

One of the easiest ways and oldest methods to make some money is to have your own online yard sale. Just look around your home and you will likely find items you still hang onto but no longer use. There is a market for items that you can sell online because there may always be a shopper for some of the oddest items. And if you can sell the item used at a considerable discount compared to retailers, you likely have someone willing to buy it from you. 

There are many online websites that allow you to post your sale listings for items you have around your home. When they sell you ship the item to the seller and collect your money, minus a small fee. Look for sale-able items you don't need but are still in good condition, such as books, DVDs, games, clothing, shoes, sporting goods, kitchen items, and toys.

Be a Freelance Writer

Another way to earn money on your computer and the internet is to become a freelance writer. You can get paid to write about a variety of topics and interests, from writing your own blog to sharing your expertise about a hobby or skill. You can also write about skills in writing that will help you be a good freelance writer. 

There are always going to be companies online who are looking for writers to provide copy for their websites, which they use to help attract new clients and customers to their website. You can do a search online for freelance writing jobs that pay by contract writing for various companies, or you can find a local company or companies that would benefit from your writing abilities to write them informative content for their website.

Do Transcribing

If you are good at typing and spelling, but you are not creative enough to come up with your own content, you can look to work for a transcription service. This type of company provides you an audio recording of conversations and you get to type out the information into a transcription and submit it online. This type of job will require you to be able to listen to and clearly hear a recorded conversation and quickly type up the transcription for them without errors, and they usually pay you by the word.
