For the last five years I have been making a living using the Internet. Actually, there is nothing unusual about this. On the other hand, when I am asked to talk about my business and are interested in the topic of working on the Internet, I am somewhat lost. There’s more than enough information, but that’s the problem: to give a truly useful answer, you need to start a conversation for a couple of hours.
Therefore, I decided to present a summary of my experience in the form of one large article.
The main secret: “making money on the Internet” does not exist!
How so, what is the article about?
The article, of course, is about how to earn income using the Internet. Compare the two formulations (this is important):
"make money online"
"earn income using the Internet".
There is a difference? She is principled! The first, established phrase in the language is incorrect. It's just shorter and more convenient. Where is the mistake?
Very simple. The Internet is not some special place where money is found. All the money is in our world, there is no virtual reality. All your money is paid to you for something by other people..
Making money online means getting another Internet user to pay you for something. This is obvious, but many people forget about it. This must be clearly understood. Many newcomers think that the Internet has its own economic laws (or no laws at all), and money can appear out of nowhere. Alas, this is not true.
Besides, I don't like the word "earn". It seems to immediately impose restrictions: you work for someone who pays you a salary. But the good thing about the Internet is that it provides a lot of opportunities to get away from this scheme. Lots of possibilities!
Remember these two caveats that should always be mentally applied to the words “make money online” and move on.
Ways to get money using the Internet
What is the Internet? Answer: a convenient tool for communicating with those to whom we can sell something.
The main question that everyone who reads an article not for fun should ask themselves is:
What can I sell to those people on the other side of the monitor?
The answer will determine your method of earning money. Here are the main options:
- sell your own time;
- sell IT-related skills or knowledge;
- sell non-Internet goods and services;
- provide specific Internet services.
You can come up with a hundred more options, but these four describe typical situations well. Let's look at each in order.
How to make money online if you don’t know anything specific
The simplest option. Selling your time (usually for a low price). The essence is some simple, more or less routine work that is easy to master. This exists both offline and online.
- moderating a forum or community on social networks (removing spam, obscene messages);
- work in online support (answering customer messages according to instructions);
- writing custom comments and product reviews.
Such work can be offered by both quite serious companies and individuals on special sites - online job exchanges. In the first case, you can hope for more or less tolerable payment; the second one is definitely not the best choice. Some tasks on exchanges are quite questionable in terms of legality and morality.
In general, if you have a strong desire to make money via the Internet (the pros and cons of such a solution are discussed below), then you should not get stuck selling your time. Better get useful skills and start selling them.
Freelancing and remote work: selling your skills
The classic option of working from home, at the computer. However, rich freelancers rent offices; the smart ones prefer to go somewhere warm and work while lying under a palm tree with a laptop on their belly. One way or another, a freelancer charges a fee for completing tasks that require certain qualifications.
What skills are in demand online? First of all, those that are directly related to sites:
- programming;
- design;
- translations;
- writing texts (copywriting), proofreading;
- server administration;
- network security;
- Internet marketing (SEO, SMM, analytics).
At the same time, a considerable part of freelancers work for purely offline organizations. Any result of intellectual activity that can be transmitted via the Internet can become your product.
Personal example . I perform custom SEO audits: the client receives from me a file with analysis and recommendations regarding his website (). For example, lawyers, psychologists, tutors, etc. can work in the same way. Anything that comes down to training or consulting can be easily sold online.
Here we come to the third method - selling your own goods and services. The line between it and freelancing is quite arbitrary. By the way, this is a reason for optimism: you can gradually overcome this line; freelancing can thus become a transitional stage to your own business.
Internet as a way to sell goods or services
However, those who are just planning to open their own business or become self-employed can use the Internet to attract buyers and customers. Why, this is the most accessible and logical way, especially since competition in most niches is still small.
The simplest example is trade in hand-made products; This is how many people make money. Similarly, you can monetize other hobbies or skills. Do you like to draw? Paint portraits to order. Are you taking photographs? There are plenty of opportunities to sell ready-made photos (Google: photo stocks) or find customers for a photo shoot.
Of course, not only representatives of creative professions can promote their services. For example, a gas boiler adjuster can also earn his bread and butter (and caviar) if he decides to earn money on his own and manages to attract clients who, as we know, are constantly on the Internet.
An important point: promoting your offline services via the Internet privately may ultimately turn out to be more profitable and stable (!) than working for hire. The Internet allows you to effectively create a good reputation and personal brand of a specialist. Let's continue the example taken from the fool. If our boiler adjuster does his job well, collects reviews from satisfied customers on his website and applies the basics of Internet marketing, then he has a chance to gain a huge queue of customers and set a price tag that is convenient for him.
At the initial stage, of course, it is harder. But more on that later. For now, let's write down the conclusion of this point:
If you know how to do something useful, there is no point in completely giving up this activity for virtual work. Try doing the same thing, but working for yourself and using the power of the Internet.
Internet business
Something that is not directly related to actual goods or services. For example, providing paid space in file storage (Dropbox, Google Drive). Or: online accounting (a paid online service helps generate reports, reminds you of the need to pay taxes, etc.). A virtual, purely informational service results in real savings on accounting services and a significant simplification of business processes. See also - these are examples of Internet businesses whose services may be useful for making money.
Personal example: a couple of months ago I started the smmup.ru project - at the moment it is free, but when we launch full functionality, I plan to introduce commercial options.
It may seem that this option is the most complicated. Not at all a fact. Don't be afraid of the word "business". This includes creating a public page on a social network and maintaining a blog or channel on YouTube (all of this can also bring in money). The main criterion for a business is not whether its owner wears a tie or sits in sweatpants in front of a computer monitor. The criterion is the construction of a system that operates relatively independently of its creator.
Of course, if you choose the option of creating an online business, even on a minimal scale, you need to be well versed in the Internet as a whole and understand the needs and interests of your audience. In other cases it is less important.
We've finished reviewing the options. I hope it brings some insight. And now - to specific advice.
How to start making money online (let's get down to business)
If you read carefully, you can easily formulate what the first step should be. Of course it is
1. Determine what you can offer (sell)
Just write a list of what you know how to do and love to do. Think about how to make money from it. Do you have in-demand skills online? Or maybe skills for self-employment offline?
There is nothing? Add to the list what interests you. Something you don't know yet, but can learn. Run the list again. Leave it for a couple of days. One way or another, you must have a vision of what you can offer to the global market right now and in the future.
2. Determine where and how you can sell it
I'll give you some initial advice.
If you have no skills, but have time and desire- to you in the “Remote work” section on traditional job sites. A good idea is to search online business forums. Sometimes there are vacancies for an assistant for a representative of one of the Internet specialties. This could be a good start.
If you have online skills(copywriting, design, etc.) - register on freelance exchanges, place your first orders for a review, test your chosen direction “live”. An important point: don’t limit yourself to freelance exchanges. Create a separate portfolio (preferably in the form of a website, or, at worst, a public page on a social network) and promote it using other methods. Don't be tied to any platform, build your own brand.
If you decide to engage in online sales— find a smart Internet marketing specialist and take a couple of consultations. This is the best advice that can be given. If for a freelancer creating a separate portfolio is 99% the right step, then with offline sales everything is not so simple: too different products and services may be offered; it is important to start from the specifics. The same goes for the “online business” option.
3. It's time to get to work!
Although no, I will add. A necessary habit for any Internet worker is to automatically Google everything incomprehensible and ambiguous. Have you come across a service offering to earn money? Google reviews and read carefully! Have you heard about a new way of promotion? We Google it and try to apply it if it seems worthwhile. Have you emailed me with an offer? You know what to do with the sender's email.
Is it worth it? About the pros and cons of online earnings
Actually, this should have been item number zero. Think carefully about whether you need to work exclusively online (i.e. implement option 1, 2 or 4). Yes, this occupation looks attractive - a free schedule, you decide when to work and when to rest, you can work from anywhere in the world - if only you had wi-fi and a laptop.
But keep in mind:
- You'll have to work a lot. Riddle about a freelancer: “Who doesn’t want to work 5 days a week for 8 hours, but wants 7 days a week for 16 hours”? This is, of course, a joke, but you really have to work hard, there is no freebie here. Freelancers are either well-fed or lazy.
- A very serious level of self-organization will be required and self-discipline, including financial. This month you can earn 100,000, and next month - 7,000. You need to manage your budget in such conditions very carefully and sensibly. Yes, you can forget the words “stability”, “paid leave” and “sick leave”.
- Certain legal registration of your activities is required— most likely, registration of an individual entrepreneur (however, options are possible) and corresponding reporting.
- You will have less communication and social connections. The team at work is a powerful anchor of socialization. And you have to be alone with the monitor. You may have to make extra efforts to avoid going a little wild and going into virtual reality.
- There are no windfalls here. On average, in a hospital, the income of Internet users falls within the standard range of salaries or profits of a small business. Everything is the same as everywhere else. True, on the Internet there is a little more dependence between how you work and how much you get; The distribution turns out to be somewhat fairer than offline. As he stomped, he sank.
Summarizing: making money online is not for everyone; It is not suitable for everyone in terms of character and prospects. .
Well, if you decide, good luck, colleague!
Every day we receive alarming “news from the fields” about an increase in the number of unemployed. Everyone is suffering from layoffs - both financial directors and secretaries. Neither two higher educations nor the patronage of patrons help. They survive as best they can. "MP" conducted a small investigation and found out where and how you can make money in Moscow, even if you don't know how to do anything at all.
For those who were left unemployed at the very beginning of the crisis, today is especially difficult. The number of resumes on some job search sites exceeded the number of job openings for the first time in years. Recruitment agencies are forced to admit: all the signs of labor migration are evident. Specialists laid off from large businesses are looking for work in medium and small businesses. And those left without a place in the sun in small businesses are forced to look for even less prestigious jobs.
Personnel officers are also forced to admit that the professional skills of most applicants are far from perfect. However, those who don’t know how to do anything and don’t want to learn manage to make money. Without even making any special effort.
Poster of advertisements and distributor of advertising leaflets. There is a need for a lot of such “specialists” in the labor market. The fact is that many metropolitan entrepreneurs consider such “walking advertising” the most productive for their business. Small firms are especially guilty of this type of advertising, because they do not have money for television PR. And there are thousands of such organizations in the capital, so the demand for “walking advertising” in the capital is extremely high. The working day of a distributor is 5 - 6 hours, and earnings are from 100 to 150 rubles per hour.
For sticking one leaflet (with your own glue!) the paster is paid a ruble or a ruble and a half. Professionals in this business have proven that in 5 - 6 hours of work it is possible to hang up to 500 pieces of paper on poles - a total of 500 rubles per day. Don’t be cunning and throw advertising brochures into the trash. The employer, as a rule, requires a list of streets where the poster has been, and will definitely check his work.
Housekeeping assistant. To become one, you don’t have to contact a recruitment agency. You can find such a job through friends or by posting typical advertisements around your home area: “I’ll clean the apartment. The price is negotiable." The assistants' jobs can be very different: walking the dog (150 rubles, including washing paws), babysitting (200 rubles per hour), cleaning the apartment (200 rubles per hour). Window cleaning is especially popular in May. For such “dust-free” work you can earn up to 500 rubles per window.
Cheers! Participation in clinical trials is generously rewarded. It sounds creepy, but someone makes money from this. Of course, such trials are a rather risky undertaking, since even doctors sometimes do not know what the side effects of taking a new medicine may be. And becoming a participant in clinical trials is not so easy. Firstly, you are unlikely to see such an advertisement in a newspaper; you will have to search through closed research institutes and specialized clinics. Secondly, not all city residents still have “iron” health. And only absolutely healthy people can take part in this type of earnings.
We trade face. The entertainment industry offers the least labor-intensive and well-paid type of income to everyone: television and cinema. Anyone can take part in the filming of a TV show as a hero or a spectator, as well as act in a movie (as an extra, of course) - age, gender and education do not matter. Appearance also does not play a special role. And even though at school you were considered a complete freak, in this business your physiognomy can be very useful.
For everyone who wants to appear on the screen, special websites massovki.ru and stunner.ru have been created, where compassionate editors post advertisements for the recruitment of actors for extras. For example: “For the transfer, a man from 30 to 55 years old, of Slavic appearance, is required to play the role of a polygamist. They will give you a text and tell you that you have many wives. The shooting will take about 2 hours. Payment immediately after filming - 400 rubles.” Or “for tomorrow we need a man between 25 and 40 years old. We are filming a story about “Masters of Blackmail.” You will need to play the male victim. You are a businessman who has fallen for a blackmailer. You must be dressed in a suit, at least take a shirt and tie with you.” People are often invited to take part as a spectator in the filming of a TV show or TV concert. For sitting for many hours without speaking, they will pay from 300 rubles, “with words” - from 500.
In order to get to the shooting of a film or TV series, it is best to contact the film studio’s help desk directly. And prepare a portfolio. It can also be made from amateur photographs. On average, for one shooting day they pay from 500 to five thousand rubles, depending on the budget of the film and your employment in the plot. To earn more, you need to move from a “mass” to one of the “episodic actors” (actors playing small roles with words), then the fee can increase significantly. And then you look and the words are trusted...
“And you were counted.” Take part in social surveys. Answer a couple of questions - and the money is in your pocket. In addition to tests, they also make money from testing: heavy smokers will be asked to evaluate a new brand of cigarettes, young mothers - a new brand of diapers, drinkers - a new type of whiskey. For an hour of voluntary ordeal you can earn 500 - 700 rubles.
You can participate in surveys without leaving your home. For this you will need a computer and the Internet. The respondent is sent a large pile of questions by email (usually at least 200), and he sends the answers back to the addressee. I don’t know where the creators get them, but in a week about 7 such questionnaires can be sent - one per day. It’s boring, tedious and time-consuming, but the payment starts from 800 rubles per application. Funds can be transferred either to your electronic account or top up your mobile phone account.
On the phone. This job used to be most popular with young mothers and retirees who appreciate the opportunity to work remotely. With the advent of the crisis, competition in this market has increased. The salary is not small - from 20 thousand rubles plus interest. For this money, you will have to persuade citizens over the phone to connect to a new provider or conduct the same sociological surveys. However, this is not as easy as it seems at first glance. People are nervous these days, so get ready to hear a couple of unflattering compliments addressed to you.
Of course, this is not a complete list. Moscow is not a small city, and if desired, there is a place for a specialist with any skills. Only every hour there are fewer and fewer of these places. Crisis, you understand.
First of all, let’s say that it doesn’t happen that a person can’t do anything. At least you know how to do something: go online, for example, go to a website, type a message to your neighbor on VKontakte. It would be enough!
Today we will talk about how you can earn your first money sitting at home on the Internet, even if you don’t know how to do anything (from your point of view). You may be afraid of the Internet world around you, but the desire to make money on the Internet and believe that this is not a myth is great!
In that case, this material is for you!
We'll get you up to speed!
Now I will bring you up to date. We don't know anything. Now you are up to date.
© Pink Panther 2In 2008, when the global financial crisis swallowed the world and mass layoffs began at all enterprises, salary cuts began, and every day the unemployed ranks grew more and more.

The Internet is its own planet on the planet, only virtual. The laws of the surrounding world do not apply in it.
Most often, people make money with various services that they can provide on the Internet: write programs in various languages, create websites, take photographs and sell photographs on special exchanges, and those who have only recently begun to take their first steps on the World Wide Web and do not yet know what they will do in the future, they can perform various small services such as commenting on topics on websites, subscribing to Youtube channels and performing other services.

Given: the work is over, there is no money. Or there is a job, but there is still not enough money. And we need to get them from somewhere. Well, at least for a while. And no, I don’t suggest studying to be a programmer. Okay, Day.Az, with reference to Pics, will tell you about a dozen much less expensive and simple methods to improve your financial situation.
1. Win everything!
There is a lot going on around you all the time - no, a cloud! - competitions. From small things like “solve the crossword and get a movie ticket” (as practice shows, it can be solved in 6 minutes) to big things like “repost this post and get a ticket to Rome.” And you know what's the funniest thing about this? That this thought that you immediately thought: “Oh well, there are a million of these ball hunters, the chances are minimal” - in some cases it is simply ridiculously wrong. Because a million potential competitors think exactly the same way - and as a result, the magazine or website is frantically wondering which of the distant relatives should shove a prize from the advertiser. Because people are slowing down, and they themselves would like to, but they’re not supposed to... So don’t slow down!
2. Give lessons on Skype
Remember anything you can do. Ideally, some kind of English. But if not, then literate Russian, and playing the guitar or checkers, and cross-stitching... And even something even less professional, such as the ability to argue heatedly, will do. Now you find prices for such services from the pros - and reduce this price by a third. Or more. It depends on the level of greed and self-esteem. This is very good at weeding out tough competitors with a stack of diplomas. Believe me, now people are more interested in saving money than meditating on someone’s diplomas.
3. Teach people something
“Well, yes, if I could do something highly useful like programming...” Yes, forget about it, honestly. Actually, everything is useful. The main thing is 1) to love, 2) to be able to present your subject, 3) to give a damn about the lack of diplomas and certificates and feel free to dump. If you like to walk and know little-known cool yards, you can organize “secret excursions.” If you already do yoga in the park in the morning, call people for some funny “doneshen”: five people for 5 manats - already food for the day. And time passed in exactly the same way, even more fun.
4. Be cute
Find a grandmother who sews cool rugs and stands alone at the market. And become its promoter. Maybe no one would really buy your rugs, because you seem to be a healthy and prosperous, and therefore not very kawaii, creature. But sweet grandma is a brand. Another guaranteed treat is the kids: you can also involve your own creative kids. No, no, no: this is not exploitation of minors, this is a family contract and proper upbringing.
5. Do for people what they don’t like.
This is in case you don’t have stupid prejudices like “it’s not the king’s business.” Many people do not want to do or cannot do non-royal things, but there is no one to ask. Well, for example, take out the trash, move a closet, dismantle the rubble on the balcony, paint the fence. You can promote your services on Facebook and on the oldest social network called “paper advertisements at the entrance.” And painting the fence, by the way, is such a waste!
6. Do anything
By the way, smart people have been using this trick for a long time: someone needs to do something quickly, but is reluctant, while someone has a lot of time and is ready to take on anything if they can do it. Classics of the genre - resources like Workzilla. The tasks here come across all degrees of ease, right down to almost zero. Like “download a catalog”, “convert a file” or “draw an avatar”.
7. Sell anything you don't need
No, there is absolutely no need to buy anything unnecessary for this. It is enough to do the cleaning, putting aside what you have not used for at least a year. Checked: you won’t use it. And putting belongings in tombs has been unfashionable for thousands of years. Well, unnecessary gifts rule! Bored of posting stuff on Avito? Find or organize a garage sale. This is just terribly fashionable these days.
8. Resell something you need
On the same Internet sites and online flea markets, you periodically come across all sorts of things for practically nothing. It’s just that the owners of the thing need to get rid of it more than earn money. And you just need to earn more. And don't be complex. “Speculation” is, comrade, Soviet vocabulary, the place of which is in the Krasnoshishkinsk Local History Museum. Actually, then any store is speculation.
9. Sign people up for something cheap
The way to earn money is more complicated, but big. Let's give one example from life. In city N, the family decided to sell their apartment. The apartment is cool, it costs about 150 thousand bucks. Since there is a crisis, finding a buyer with that amount in his pocket is a problem. And what they did was create a page where they invited everyone to contribute 1 buck and sign up for the list. 150 thousand subscribers are recruited - and the apartment goes to one of them using a scientific method. To convince people that this was not a hoax, I had to talk to the press and lawyers. But it's fun and creative.
10. Donate blood
There are two important points here: firstly, you need to be healthy in all respects, and secondly, you can’t do this often. But you can earn extra money from time to time: Google the right places in your city. By the way, if you share blood for free, you are entitled to all sorts of benefits and privileges: for example, travel vouchers, extraordinary treatment, vacation at a convenient time.
11. Participate in fun activities
You can make money at some fair or folk festival, even if you didn’t succeed with hand-made goods. You can, say, make up “fortune telling” or “wishes” and stuff them into candy. You can invite people to take photos in cool surroundings. The most popular attraction for tourists is taking photographs with all kinds of fauna. But we do not recommend torturing animals and birds in slavery. Painted funny Godzilla made of corrugated cardboard - she doesn’t even ask for food. You can also dress those being photographed in some funny costumes.
12. Mow the grass
Useful, I mean. Here you need, of course, to understand this very grass and know the fish, that is, grassy, places. But you can start with something simple (you can tell the difference between linden and mint, right?), and the topic is interesting and can captivate you. It’s easier to hand over harvested haystacks to pharmacies, but it’s more profitable to build something useful out of them. For example, teas in paper bags, scent pads or bath brooms.
13. Donate recyclable materials
No, breaking metal fences or standing with people of no fixed abode at a glass collection point in your neighborhood is not necessary. There are organizations and projects that themselves remove plastic, waste paper and other recyclable waste. Call them when you want to deal with your grandfather's archive of Pravda for 70 years. Karma improves in proportion to the environment!
14. Play games
Even such a seemingly not particularly useful skill as hacking at toys can also be monetized. There is such a thing as selling game accounts. On the black market you can sell your character, account or game currency and things for real money. If anything, we haven’t tried it ourselves and haven’t advised you to do anything like that. This is how we collect ideas for inspiration.
15. Argue
This is how it sometimes happens: someone, foaming at the mouth, proves some stupidity that you just know 110% that it’s not really true. Because your physics teacher stuck this information in your head for centuries - or because you recently read an article by a Nobel laureate on this topic. So don't send the poor guy to Google! Bet him at least 50 bucks! Well, or for champagne, it will also be useful on the farm.
16. Work
This is, of course, the least creative and original way. But it helps quite often. Find a good job in your specialty! The main thing here is to forget the phrases “who needs me” and “crisis in the country.” And useful skills such as arguing, teaching, playing, donating and collecting weed have already solved the problem of bright leisure time!
Hello! In this article we will discuss how to make money if you don’t know how to do anything.
- How much can you earn: from 50 rubles per day.
- Minimum requirements: your wish.
How can you make money on the Internet?
How to make money if you don’t know how to do anything: 5 ways
Let’s move on from discussions to specific ways to make money. For the methods listed below, you do not need any special skills. Enough basic PC knowledge and free time.
Earning money on captchas
This is the simplest and most low-income job of all those listed here. If you actively use the Internet, then at least once every few days you enter captchas (a set of characters that check whether you are a robot or not). Some services pay little money for this, up to 30 kopecks.
I myself tried to make money on captchas. This hits you hard, it’s boring, but you can earn 80–100 rubles in 4–6 hours with due diligence. For beginners, the first days will seem like real agony. Your arms, eyes, and back will get tired in a matter of hours. But no one promised that they would pay well for purely mechanical actions.
If you really don’t know how to do anything and don’t want to think, then this is your way to make money.
Completing simple tasks
Somewhat more interesting than the previous one. You will be required to perform simple steps: call your customer base, send a mailing list, rewrite an audio or video file, enter positions into an Excel table, write comments, etc.
These tasks are priced inexpensively, up to 200 rubles, but provide an opportunity to earn your first money on the Internet. You can find orders on two exchanges: and Youdo. On both of them you will have to pay for access to orders, but this is a necessary measure. Exchanges are absolutely real and legal.
If you are an active PC user, you will quickly cope with basic tasks. You may even be able to earn 7-10 thousand rubles in the first month if you are not too lazy to take any orders.
Rewriting
Rewriting is rewriting an article in your own words while maintaining the content. Since search engines ban you for copy-paste, this means you will have to change phrases, phrases, etc. This is a free presentation, if we draw analogies with the school curriculum, and everyone can write in Word.
There is no need to worry about literacy. Stylistic and speech errors are not looked at in cheap articles. For the first time, trust spell checking to Word and Spelling.
I started with rewriting. I found an article on the Internet, rewrote it in my own words, adjusted it to meet the anti-plagiarism requirements and gave it to the customer. They pay a little for such work - up to 15 - 20 rubles per 1,000 characters (A4 page in 14th font), but it is also interesting.
If you can type quickly, then this is a good option for earning money. If you hit with two fingers and spend a long time looking for the right button, then immediately forget about it.
Sales
Many will not agree with me, but let’s include online sales in the list: offers on social networks, posting on forums, etc. It’s difficult, it takes a lot of effort, but at the initial stage you don’t need any special skills. To sell, for example, cosmetics, you only need to talk and offer.
To become a real salesman who earns 10,000 rubles a day, you will need many years of constant practice, a suitable mindset and enormous resistance to stress. But to get started, you will need an Internet connection, a microphone and a keyboard.
If you want to learn how to sell or at least try your hand at this, then online sales are the best solution.
Remote Assistance
Assistants are rarely trusted with complex tasks. Usually they are told what to do, where to press, and after that they are forced to do mechanical work.
Finding a remote assistant position is difficult. Browse free ad sites like Avito or vacancies on hh.ru. Don’t be afraid to take on publishing content or designing something in certain programs. There are many step-by-step manuals on this topic on the Internet.
Remote assistants are a fairly high-paying job if you do simple mechanical tasks like publishing content, collecting information, etc.
If you want to find a full-time job and at the same time learn something new in your field, try looking for a similar vacancy.
I didn’t write about likes on social networks, advertising, etc. These are not ways to make money. The maximum you can earn is 5 - 6 rubles per hour. Even for someone who doesn’t know how to do anything, 50 rubles a day with 6 - 8 hours at the computer will not be enough income.
How to develop if you want to earn money, but don’t know how to do anything
At the beginning of the article, I said that you need to develop if you want to really make money. This is the real state of affairs in. If you want to earn a lot, you will have to learn a profession and start working. I have made a basic algorithm of actions for you that will help you decide and start moving forward.
- Choose a profession.
This is the most difficult thing. If you don’t know how to do anything, it means you don’t know what to do. Without a profession there is nothing to do on the Internet. The Internet is full of people who want to make money simply for existing. We need real experts in their field.
If you don’t know what to do and don’t know how to do anything, remember what you wanted to do at school. Match this with one of the niches on the Internet and choose a specialization.
It's very important to play for the long haul. It will take more than one month to learn a profession, which means the return must be at least an annual one. Therefore, if you understand that you will get tired of something a few days after training, you shouldn’t even take it.
- Find a basic manual.
By the concept of “basic training manual” I mean what you will have to learn first. This includes basic work with text, literacy, and work with anti-plagiarism. The design includes the basics of Photoshop. — posts on social networks, audience analysis, etc.
Every profession has a “minimum” that everyone must know. Find these basics in open sources and start studying them.
- Complete the initial stage.
After passing the initial stage, you need to start looking for your first clients. You may have to work on your portfolio: make several trial orders for fictitious companies. This will help you take on more expensive orders from the very beginning.
The initial stage for different professions is approximately the same: first few orders -> access to a stable monthly income in the region (from 15 to 22 thousand rubles). Depending on your skills, this may take from a month to six months. You should not linger at this stage any longer.
- Continue to grow in your chosen field.
As soon as you finish the initial stage, you will realize that you can do something and seem to be making good money. But this is a lie. Most freelance professions provide the opportunity to earn from 30,000 rubles per month while working full-time if you are an average specialist.
This means there is no need to stop there. It’s better to set yourself an income level of 30 - 40 - 50 thousand rubles per month and go towards it.
The most important thing is to pursue not the volume of work, but its quality. It is better to complete 1 order for 10,000 rubles than 10 for 1,000.
- Come to the result and don’t stop.
This is the most important thing - not to stand in one place, even if the income figure suits you. For example, in copywriting there is no maximum payment per text. You can receive either 10 rubles per page of text or 10,000. And this is far from the limit. The situation is the same in other areas. The higher you go, the fewer competitors and the higher the pay.
After you have reached your “ceiling”, which you determined for yourself in the previous paragraph, it is important to find a new goal. Sometimes this will require mastering related professions, sometimes recruiting a team. Ceilings and boundaries are only in your head.
These steps will allow you to start making big money online. But this will require more than just work. We need to plow. Successful people spend at least 8 hours a day at work. Fanatics only pause for food and sleep. I recently saw a good discussion on this topic:
To get rid of health problems, fly on vacation to Miami and fall in love with women again, you must first work 15 hours a day before health problems, overnight stays at work and lack of desire.
Conclusion
If you don’t know how to do anything, but want to earn money, desire alone will not be enough. On the Internet, as in real life, only your benefit is valued. If you can do something, it means you are valuable, therefore you will have money. That is why you don’t need to get hung up on the fact that you don’t know how to do anything. Find something to do for the first time, start earning some money and master your profession.
