Putting together a guide or eBook using PDF software is one of the easiest ways to make money. Once the work is done, the money will keep coming in every time someone downloads the product without any further input from you.

Simply ask contacts if they'd be willing to pay for a banner on your website, a feature on your blog, social media coverage or otherwise. Not only will you make money from initiating the deal, but you will also get a commission on every item sold through you.

And to make it even more comfortable, websites like Buy Sell Ads can automate the process.

People will pay to have well-written content. Or well-spoken content!

If you have a particular area of interest, or simply enjoy writing, have a search for relevant companies that need articles, copy, blog posts and so on. This is an easy way to use existing skills and interests to make money.

Meanwhile, those with the gift of the gab can earn good money by Vlogging. Video content is more important than ever, with social media algorithms favouring those who best utilise video. You could offer your services to someone else or make your own YouTube channel which, if successful, could earn you lots of money overnight.

 

How many hours a day do you think you spend searching the web? Imagine if you could get paid for all that time, wouldn't that be great!

Well, you can! Online research jobs range from entry-level, with no previous experience in research, to better-paid opportunities which require experience or formal education. Whatever your level or experience, there are options to get paid for simply searching the web.

Virtual Assistants (VAs) carry out admin tasks for businesses. Typically, this involves assistance with business communications, organisation, time-keeping, team coordination and data entry. But there are also VA gigs which include marketing, copywriting, social media and more.

You don't need a degree or qualification to become a VA, but experience in administration helps. Alternatively, you can highlight those all-important transferable skills: organisation, diligence, attention to detail and whatever else makes you stand out from the crowd.
