Generating income online isn’t EASY in any way. But it isn’t THAT DIFFICULT either if you are carrying out a proper course.
But without these three things – generating income online will always remain nothing but a dream for you:
- Hard work
- Perseverance
- Patience
If you believe you’ve got all these three things, then let’s leap directly into the topic.
Below are some of the most real and legit ways to earn a living online.
​
#1 Freelancing
If you’re into generating income online, you’ll want to hear the word freelancing.
Generally you can monetize any skill as a freelancer.
Skills like writing, graphics designing, transcription, voiceover, explainer video and much more. With these skills you can earn a minimum of $20 – $50 per hour.
Here are the 6 most awesome online freelancing marketplaces:
Upwork
UpWork.com is one of the greatest online freelancing marketplaces. This website is the blend of two of the popular marketplaces oDesk and Elance. Here a freelancer will find a myriad of online jobs. Some pay by the hour, while other jobs have a set price.
Fiverr
According to my view, Fiverr.com is one of the best online freelancing marketplaces. Here, the freelancer has to post a gig with clear instructions that tell the buyers what can he or she can provide.
The order price has no upper limit, but starts with a minimum of five dollars. So the client can easily get quality work for a low price. For this reason, this site is becoming more popular every day.
Freelancer
Freelancer.com is another popular online freelancing marketplace. Here a freelancer can get jobs ranging from data entry work to high-level programming projects. There are thousands of clients and freelancers around the world, and a new freelancer can easily get their desired jobs here.

PeoplePerHour.com is a great platform, focusing on freelancing for web projects.
If you’re an article writer, digital marketer, graphic designer, web developer, SEO specialist…and you love to work with your specialty, then PeoplePerHour is definitely worth checking out.
Here you have to post hourly, and clients will pay you according to your set price.

This is a platform for freelance designers.
99designs.com lets you compete in design contests where the clients choose their favourites, which then earn a handsome bit of money.

#2 Earn Money Through Blogging
This is still one of the best ways to earn money online, even though it is also the toughest. You need put in a lot of work and be consistent and patient before you see any money coming in.
A lot of people quit blogging before they even really get started.
From the day they start their blog, they will try to make money. And if they don’t turn a profit quickly, they loose interest and the blog automatically dies.
But here’s the thing: In the early stages, before you get some decent traffic, you will not be making any money from your blog. Once the blog becomes popular, and starts receiving visitors on a regular basis, only then you can start earning some real money.
So, when developing websites you will need a lot of endurance. Once you lose patience its difficult to keep up the work your blog needs, such as posting regular updates and continuously adding great new content that makes people want to come back.
Having your own blog and website is something similar to running a small business. The rewards can be great, but it requires patience, and a lot of hard work.
#3 YouTube
These days You-tube is flourishing like anything.
Increasing numbers of people are arriving to YouTube to discover a solution to their problems, to learn something new and to entertain themselves.
YouTube is also an income generating machine for content makers.
Although YouTube videos don’t pay independently, you can generate profits by putting AdSense adverts on your videos. The more views and clicks your advertisings gets, the more money you can make.
Other ways you can make money with your videos, is with product placements, paid product reviews, sponsorships and affiliate marketing. ​
​And of course, if you have your own line of products – SHOW THEM OFF on YouTube.
If you are a designer, show off your designs. Or, if you are an inventor, make a how-to video showing how your product works. Freelancer looking for work? Put out a video application, telling prospective employers why they should hire you.
The possibilities are endless. ​Just use your imagination, and get started.
