18 Ways You Can Make Money Online Right Now

The site Tutors.com has a list of the best online tutoring jobs, and you can also apply to be a tutor at Tutorme.com.

2. Online paid surveys

A popular way for people to make money online is to fill out online surveys in their spare time. Research companies are always recruiting new members worldwide to answer surveys and test new products.

For a few minutes of form filling, you can quickly make a couple of quid which is paid as cash or rewards. You can bag up to £3 ($5) for some surveys!

3.Searching the web

Interested in how to make money fast by doing what you already do online? This has to be one of the easiest methods of making money online.

Qmee.com rewards you for searching on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Amazon and eBay. Install a simple browser extension and sponsored results will show alongside your normal search results.

4. Create YouTube videos

According to recent stats we now watch more videos on YouTube than searches on Google.

And with the YouTube Partner Program you can profit from making and uploading videos. You will receive a percentage of the advertising revenue per 1,000 views.

Depending on how successful you are (virality, watch time, subscriber base and topic) you can make a lot of money. There are plenty of examples every week of YouTubers making it their career.

5. Freelancing

Perhaps you enjoy writing, reading books, graphic design or managing social media accounts in your spare time.
There are endless freelance jobs that require certain skills or just time that someone else might not have.

Freelancing is very flexible and you can work from home for clients around the world with just an internet connection.

6. Buy and sell domain names

A domain name is just a website address (e.g.. 'savethestudent.org' or 'mysite.co.uk') and there are lots of extensions (.com, .net, .co.uk etc.).

They cost as little as 10$ to register with GoDaddy.com, or even free with Bluehost packages.

Yet premium domain names can fetch 100$ if not millions when sold on. In 2007 VacationRentals.com sold for a cool $35m!

Now you're not going to come across anything like that, but you could still turn a quick profit with a bit of searching.

The trick is to find available domain names which have some commercial value. Snap them up and then list them for sale on a site like Sedo.com

7. Gigs on Fiverr

Fiverr is the world's largest marketplace for people to make money selling small services (known as 'gigs').

What you offer could be absolutely anything. From writing and translating, social media posting, playing pranks and teaching to creating music, voiceovers and short video clips for people around the world.

The default price is $10 (hence Fiverr), but you can attach extra services to gigs for more money. Earnings can quickly add up and there are thousands of people making a really good living from the site. The key is to get a system in place which minimises the time spent on each gig.

There is another way to profit even more from Fiverr, for potentially far less work. How? By simply reselling gigs elsewhere.

For example, find a decent logo designer then reply to jobs on Upwork or local classifieds. A $5 spend can easily become $50+, and it's repeatable! Just check with your designer that they are happy with this.

8. Affiliate marketing

If you have a social media following or a website, you can start making money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online.
Sign up as a publisher on the Awin network. Check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your followers would be interested in. Then grab your affiliate link and share it.

9. Start your own website

Interested in generating passive income? You need a website. It's the way to make money while you sleep.Starting a website with Bluehost takes less than 20 minutes, costs hardly anything and can be done by an 82 year-old.

It only takes a bit of plugging on social media to get your first visitors, and there are plenty of ways to monetise your site.

Save the Student is just one example of a successful website. Started at university by Owen Burek, it has since grown to serve over 1 million visitors a month.

10. Sell Your Photos

Do you have photo skills or live in an area where images are in demand? “Stock photography websites are huge repositories of photographs, covering almost every possible subject you could imagine,” advises International Living. So how does it work?
Photographers can upload their images to any one of a number of huge databases, allowing magazine editors, designers or any organization with a website to buy them. And the beauty of stock websites:
Photos can be sold any number of times—so you can continue to make money without any effort. Photography sites to check out include Shutterstock and Getty Images.

11. Become a Copywriter

Want to earn a great income no matter where you live—a house by the sea in Latin America, an historic European city or even on a Greek island?
Copywriting could be ideal for you. According to International Living, “copywriting is a mega-industry, ripe with opportunity. And yearning for people who can fuel it with fresh marketing messages and one of the best benefits of the freelance copywriter’s lifestyle is that you can get paid in U.S. dollars…yet live virtually anywhere in the world.” Express Writers has tips on how to become a copywriter and is also a resource for jobs.

Some resources include GoOverseas.com, TeachAway (teach English online to Chinese students), iTutorGroup (teach English online to Taiwanese children and adults) and English Hunt (teach English on the phone to adult students in Korea)

13. Turn Your Interests Into a Podcast That Pays

“Podcasting doesn’t have to be complicated,” says International Living. With a microphone, laptop and free recording software, you’ll be up and running. Plus, podcasts don’t need to run every day (once a week is best) and are better when they’re short. There are a number of ways to make money from a podcast. The most obvious is commercial sponsorship, but you can also use it as a platform to advertise your own products or services. NPR has a great guide to launching a podcast here.

14. Set up a Content and Web Development Business

Do you know how to do web and content development? 

You can offer these services to anyone via online tools that make developing beautiful websites a snap. Some resources include WordPress, Weebly and Joomla.

15.Try Drop-shipping

Have you heard of drop-shipping? It’s a method of retail where the seller doesn’t actually have a physical inventory. Instead, when a customer makes an order, you purchase the item from a third party, and they ship it directly to the customer. “This means you’ll never have to fork over a single dime to store your products or maintain your inventory,” advises International Living. “And you’ll never have to buy products in bulk, hoping to sell enough to recoup your investment.” This method can be done with online selling platforms like eBay or Amazon. You can find out more about drop-shipping in this helpful article from Shopify.

16.  Matched Betting

*Use Legal Websites*
Matched betting works by taking advantage of free bets offered by betting sites and 'matching' them at a betting exchange. This removes the mathematical risk as you are betting both for and against an outcome.

You can then squeeze out the free bet, which can be as much as $100. Multiply this by all the betting sites there are, and you can quite easily be in profit by a few hundred pounds.

Lots of readers have genuinely made $100 at home from this technique. It's completely legal, tax-free, and anyone over 18+ can do it.

17.Become a Life Coach (or Even a Travel Coach)

“Life coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process that helps people focus on both personal and professional goals,” advises International Living. “People use life coaching to overcome fears, boost their self-confidence, create goals and instill success-oriented habits.” You can find thousands of online training programs on how to be a life coach, and many certification programs offer an entire website setup once training is completed. If travel is your area of expertise, you can even become a travel coach. 

18. Become an Audiobook Narrator

“Audiobooks are an increasingly popular form of entertainment. The convenience factor of smartphones has led to an industry boom,” advises International Living. “That’s creating a demand for freelance narrators.”
