The Perfect Side-Gig: 4 Tried and Proven Ways to Make Money Online Without Selling a Thing

 

The Internet might be a great place to watch cat videos and shop for shoes, but it also happens to be an outstanding place to make money. Fortunately, you do not have to sell anything to make money online. In fact, some of the easiest ways to make money online involve anything but selling things.

 

Selling things online takes time and patience. With so many online shops, starting a new one can be tough. Not only do you need things to sell, but you need to be able to market them. This all takes money.

 

Instead of trying to sell things in an overly saturated market, try these four tried and proven ways to make money:

1. Teach online courses

Teaching online courses is no longer reserved for certified teachers. With all of the platforms that offer online courses, anyone can teach a class in any subject that they know well. Maybe you are an expert knitter or you know how to change the oil in a car, but you do it faster than anyone else you know. Pick a platform, join up, and do what you must to teach the class. Then, ask your friends to share information about your class and watch people sign up. Students pay a small fee and you get some of that.

2. Freelance write

Freelance writing is one of the more lucrative ways to make money online. There are several platforms that bring writers and clients together. With freelance writing, a client pays a writer to complete a writing task like blog posts, product descriptions, or white papers. The platform holds the payment in escrow and the money is released when the task is completed.

 

Most of the freelance platforms take a small percentage of the payment you receive. Consider this the cost of doing business as the platforms are large and costly to maintain. Freelance writing can actually be quite fun because you get to work with people from all over the world and build professional relationships with them. Freelance writers can be paid by the project or by the hour.

3. Become an online tutor

Along with teaching online courses, online tutoring is also a tried-and-proven way to make money online. Children all over the world struggle with various subjects in school and tutors help them find some success. It is common for students who want to learn English to search for online tutors. There are websites that bring students and tutors together. Most of them pay an hourly wage, while some pay wages for projects.

4. Lose weight

One of the newer ways to make money online is to lose weight. Several websites offer weight-loss challenges where you bid on yourself to lose weight. You join other people in the challenge and if you do lose, you get your money back and you get some winnings, too. If you do decide to try this method, you have to record your weight loss with photographs that prove you have been on the scale.
