How to Make Money Online – Top Ways to Supplement your Income

The World Wide Web is the digital information highway that we all know and love; it brings you the daily news, while Google can answer any questions you might have and it can do that in less than a second! More than hosting the world’s biggest video archive, the Internet can also be a way to make money and in this short article, we offer a few ideas on how you can supplement your income using the web.

• • Web content writer – Digital marketing agencies are always looking for content writers and if you are a native English speaker, there’s no reason why you can’t join the thousands who supplement their income by writing blogs on a wide range of topics. You could also set up a blogging page on your website, which gives you some credibility. Start by Googling ‘web content agencies near me’ and check out the many agencies that provide content for SEO agencies.

• Trading shares – Many Australians make good money trading stocks and shares; the best way to trade shares in Australia is to register with a leading share trading broker, a professional with a track record in mentoring new traders. Of course, there’s a lot to learn before you start buying shares, which is where the broker comes into play. Start with a demo account to get you familiar with trading stocks and shares, then when you think you are ready for some real trading, open a trader account. Who knows? You might end up as a top trader!

• Teaching English online – If you are a native English speaker, you can work for an online language academy who will offer you all the training and support you need to become a good language teacher. You will need a laptop, webcam, mic and a stable Internet connection, the school will help you with lesson planning and you are paid monthly, usually through PayPal. You might have to work unsociable hours and you may have to take an online English test.
• Become a YouTuber – If you have an outgoing personality, why not set up your own YouTube channel? When you reach a certain number of subscribers, your channel is monetised and over time, you can build a huge following if your content is top-notch. Like most things, you need to apply yourself and be creative with your content. Find a niche, which might be travelling, interviewing interesting folk or a deep dive into a particular topic.

The above are just some of the ways you can earn extra money online; there are many more and with some research, you will find something that suits you. Many Australians started out as a part-time gig and they did so well, they went all in! The trick is to find something you are passionate about, then you don’t think of it as work.
