Easiest Ways to earn money from home

We are sharing a list of ways that can be useful if you want to earn money online from home. I have tried most of these ways or have seen my buddies making profits out of them. For Pakistani students, these can prove to be very beneficial if they want to make part-time or full-time careers out of them along with their studies. I have sequenced them from basic level to professional level online jobs.

• Blogging

First things first! What you are most passionate about? Never start a blog in which you might lose interest later. You need excellent English communication skills to start your own blog. It can be a news-related blog, or a product/service review, or a celebrity blog. Post jobs, funny images/videos, write about the latest trends or technology updates. The pitch point is that you are blogging about good ideas. Stay away from plagiarism. Take inspiration but don’t copy content from other sites. Use Google AdSense or InfoLinks to put up ads on your blog and start earning. Don’t rush and wait for 3-4 months till the volume of visitors increases to more than 1000 per day. Money starts coming in once you reach your target. You can check our complete guide on how to set up a WordPress blog with almost no effort.

• Data Entry

Data entry is considered to be among the biggest skills you can have to earn money online. It is also listed as the topmost job available online in terms of projects volume. It’s all about typing and you may need some basic level English and computer skills to get the job done. Data entry jobs take a lot of your time. Some reliable sources can be Freelancer, Fiverr, and Upwork (formerly Odesk).

• Telemarketing

Are you good at sales and can communicate with people in the US, Ireland, or the UK in their native language? Telemarketing can be the right job for you then. Reach out to companies looking for a resource like you and sell their products and services, be it a call or an online chat. Meet your monthly targets and earn the sales commission with basic pay. Earn up to PKR 50,000 to 1 lac a month. TRG Pakistan would be the perfect example to state here (one of the leading BPO companies in Pakistan for offshore outsourcing).

• Freelancing

The best alternative to blogging is freelancing. Sites like Freelancer and Elance provide a number of job postings that you can choose from. From writing articles and academic reports to designing websites, optimizing keywords on search engines, coding and building mobile apps. In Pakistan, top websites like Rozee, BrightSpyre, Bayrozgar, Mustakbil, HerCareer are bringing employers and talent together to do what is needed.

• Affiliate Marketing

Once you have a good blog ready, you can also join an affiliate network or affiliate partnership with someone (for instance, Amazon) and earn money whenever someone is redirected to a link and buys a product through your blog.

• Website Designing

If you are a designer by profession already or you can simply register for short courses to learn professional website designing. Either way you can create an opportunity to earn income from home. Both small and corporate level companies hire freelance designers to work on their logos and websites. And trust me, mostly freelancers come up with some brilliant and outstanding designs. Photoshop has become one of the most commonly used weapons of choice when it comes to web designing.

• Web Development

Universities are stressing about offering advanced courses on web development. Using HTML, CSS, and PHP, students and professionals can make ways to build a better future for them. Build a website from scratch and use programming languages like CSS, HTML, and PHP and tools to earn you a good amount of cash. You can take this course to learn about JavaScript if you are looking to improve your existing skills.

• SEO Expert

The rate of having a diploma in SEO is high in Pakistan and for the same reason, companies don’t prefer hiring them. One of the reasons stated by my CEO recently was that they have weak English communication and vocabulary which puts a company in a very bad place. But then there are some experienced SEOs and SEMs who are doing a tremendous job in lifting up page ranks and providing quality results with targeted keywords on Google’s top searches. Content marketing and SEO go side by side. It’s a plus if you know both well. Social Media Marketing is another major part of SEO and content marketing.

• Mobile App Design

The mobile app is like the ultimate accessory for any product or service nowadays. It’s one of the highest paid online jobs and if you are familiar with the process of designing and developing a creative and unique app. Well, you just hit the jackpot.
Out of all the above, my favorite ones are 10, 11, and 12. I made a career out of them. All 20 different ways mentioned above vary from one another. Most of them can be found on freelancing sites like Freelancer, Elance, Odesk (aka Upwork). Pakistani job platforms also enlist most of these sources of income. OLX Pakistan also has a vast listing of online/internet jobs but not all of them are from reliable companies or people.
