The Internet is many things; a place to catch up with the latest news, to tune into your favourite team, find out what the weather will be like on the weekend, check the U$ rates and see what your friends are up to on social media. Of course, the web is so much more and if you absolutely hate your job and are looking for financial freedom and independence, you’ve come to the right place, as we outline a few ways you can turn a dollar online.
- Trading – Whether Forex, crypto or shares trading, the opportunities are out there; choose your trading arena, get seriously stuck into research and open a dummy account. If you’re in the black after 3 months, it’s time to trade with real money. Success is never a given with any form of trading and you’ll need a healthy dose of nerve and the patience of a saint! Know when to buy and when to sell; if you see stock falling, it might be an idea to buy at the low and hold a long position.
- Remote work – If you field allows you to deliver your services via the Internet, you can work freelance; create a good digital profile and find the best sites to advertise your services. Software development, design, content creation and consultations can all be carried out remotely and the work is out there; all you have to do is find it!
- E-commerce – Thousands of Australians make a good living selling stuff on the Internet and with some heavy market research and a good business plan, there’s no reason why you can’t join them. The competition is high and you have to try and find something that is in high demand and has a future. You can breakdown e-commerce into 4 sections; 1) Web services, 2) product procurement, 3) logistics and 4) digital marketing. You need to cover all the bases and don’t expect overnight success; it can take a couple of years to make the grade and a lot of hard work and determination.
- Teaching – Whatever you are good at; if you’re a native English speaker, you can teach English online, there is a huge Asian demand for the English language and if you invest in taking the TOEFL course, you are certified and can work anywhere. Start by searching for online language academies and apply to work as an online teacher; like other careers. You have to start at the bottom as far as pay goes; while you might not be able to make a good wage, you certainly can boost your income with a few hundred dollars a month going into your PayPal account.
The opportunities are out there if you are IT savvy and hungry for success; whether trading on the stock exchange, coding apps or selling car parts online, you can make money via the web.
