Here are my top 10 ways of earning money online. My name is Lee Lopez, 23 years old, from the Philippines, I am an undergraduate of a Computer course in Davao City. I’ve been working from home as a freelancer and blogger for almost three years and these are how I generate money online.
1. Freelance Work: I receive as high as $1,500 every month on my PayPal account (see proof of payment section) for doing freelance work. I work 5 days, 8-10 hours a day as a Search Engine Optimization consultant and project manager and as an outsourcer for web projects, data entry, lead generation, etc. On low earning months the least I would earn is around $500 working comfortably. For getting local freelance work (if you have a good resume it’s very easy to get a work-from-home job) I use these sites in the Local Work from Home Jobs section of this site–if you want to find work-at-home jobs from these sites then go to the National or Nationwide category. If you’re willing to aim for a higher pay every month then you can try the International Work from Home Jobs.
2. Academia-Research: I’ve received over $400 from Work from Home Academia sites before I stopped working. The most I earned in a month from working part-time is around $200 for only a week’s worth of work. It’s been a while though since I worked on such sites since I’ve been busy on my freelance work and my blog.
3. Blog and Passive Income: This is probably my most favorite means of earning money online because I know that even if I stop working I will still continue to earn. To me, passive or “residual” income is the best income that you can generate. Imagine if you can set up a blog that earns 25,000 pesos a month consistently even if you sleep or take a vacation or stop working.
My target is to earn $600 a month from my blogs and websites but I still have a long way to go. Here are my current earnings from my blogs and passive income:
- This site (3 months old): $15-$20 a month from Adsense
- Another work from home website: $50 a month
- AWSurveys referrals from blogs: $30 a month
- Project Wonderful: $10-$15 a month
- Revresponse: $5-$10 a month
This puts me at $125 passive income every month in addition to my freelance work. I’m looking at hiring some people part-time to help me to help maintain my sites since I’m very busy with my freelance work for now. I will be updating you every month on my progress to this journey to $600 passive income a month.
4. -10. Other opportunities. The ones I mentioned above are my only focus for now. But I’ve also earned from other opportunities. You can find more about these opportunities for free here. I’ve heard of Chitika, Widgetbucks, MyLot, etc etc and I’ve tried them. Yes, I did earn from them but for the amount of time I spent and for the amount I earned I’m not so excited about the other programs.
