So, you’re thinking about making the switch from an employee to an entrepreneur. That is exciting and life changing. Online business have exploded. No more commuting, work your own hours, and from anywhere. There are tons of ways to make money online. Let’s take a look. 

Writer

There are a few ways to tackle the writing industry. Article writing, blogging, and resume writer are the top choices. These are all easy to find and start ASAP. Just like any job, you will have to work your way up and build a following.

There are many sites, like FindNerd, that you can use to find writing gigs. Projects are posted with price and details. You will then bid on the job. If you are hired, you will do the project and many platforms let them rate you. Those rating, especially in the beginning, are important. When people are hiring for projects they will check your reviews. The better your reviews are, the more you can ask for. This is a great way to start earning money quickly.

Blogging, on the other hand, is different. You will have to produce tons of awesome content to gain followers. You will not make money until you have an audience. This will take much longer, but can have a huge payout.

Virtual Assistant

This is a fun job because you aren’t limited to writing content. There are many types of jobs. VAss are similar to administrative assistants. You may do research for a business, maintain a budget, purchase inventory, manage staff schedules, manage emails and phone calls, and handle social media for the business page. Virtual assistants will probably be a full time job, there will be some part time jobs too. You will still be able to work from home or on vacation. 

Digital Marketer

This career field is exploding. Why? Because everyone is online...all the time! Businesses know that they need to be marketing to their customers online. This will have a learning curve, but will have a huge payout. If you put in the time and research you can easily make six figures your first year with your digital marketing career.

Domain Flipper

You know what a house flipper is. A domain flipper has the same principals. Buy a domain that is cheap. Create great content so that it creates value and sell it. Another way is to buy expired domains. These domains may already have good content, but the people just decided to stop and move on to something else. These are sometimes the easiest to resell.

Drop Shipper

If you want to jump into the ecommerce world, this is the easiest way. With dropshipping, you have a store with no inventory on hand. When someone purchases from you, your manufacturer will send it to your customer (as if they were you). This is a low risk business because you don't have to pay for inventory until a customer purchases it from you.

Whether you are interested in working full time or part time, working online is the way to go. You won't have to worry about commuting or missing a child’s game. You can choose your own hours and your own projects. Some of these will take longer to make a good living, but can earn a ton of money without having a boss.
