Want to know how you can work from home and gain financial independence? Check out the 10 tips we’ve separated to serve as inspiration for making money from home!
1. Freelance work
What do you have experience with? Leverage your knowledge — the things you’ve learned throughout your life or in the classroom — to get a few extra jobs! The tip is that, on the Internet, there are many ways to do this.
Want an example? More and more companies are betting on content marketing, generating significant demand for interesting materials for their customers. The objective is to get closer to the public, creating a relationship of trust and, at the same time, transmitting authority over the market in which it operates.
2. Provide consultancy in your area
A good tip is to teach other people what you have learned throughout your life. Do you have a degree in a specific area or have you already accumulated a lot of experience in a certain sector? How about helping other professionals and companies to continually improve and earn higher profits?
Offer online consulting services! You can prepare presentation material, and create a Facebook fan page and a YouTube video channel. Thus, you will demonstrate your knowledge and win customers!
3. Offer courses and video classes
Since we’re talking about passing on knowledge, there are those who need that little help with Excel, Corel Draw, Photoshop, or even personalized classes for the most difficult subjects in high school/college. And you can be the solution to these problems!
Keep an eye out: there is already a lot of free material out there on all subjects. One way to differentiate yourself is to offer virtual classes, in a videoconference with the student, teaching in a personalized way and focusing on what he has the most difficulty with. Think about it: if it were you needing help, wouldn’t this be a great resource?
4. Give tutoring classes
If you don’t know much about a more specific or technical subject, how about resorting to good old tutoring classes? The good thing is that it doesn’t depend on your training. By choosing this path, it is possible to help those who need it and still have an extra income.
5. Sell products on a marketplace
Marketplaces have been gaining a lot of space: they are those stores that people and companies use to sell their products on the internet. Submarino and Dafiti are examples of the marketplace. You can enjoy all the reputations of these companies and sell simply and easily, from your own home.
The advantage of this alternative is that it offers an entire ready-made infrastructure, accepting receipts by card, payment slip, and bank transfer, without you having to buy machines or anything like that. In addition, you get a ride on advertising campaigns without paying anything and, as I said, take advantage of the fact that the marketplace already has a name in the market.
6. Set up your own virtual store
“But I know a lot about blogging and I think I can put together a website.” Excellent! If you have enough knowledge to use ready-made websites or even create your own from scratch, you can set up your own virtual store!
Tools such as Wix and WordPress facilitate this process. Overall, you will need:
- register a domain — web address, such as www.seudominio.com.br;
- pay a hosting service to keep the site up 24 hours a day;
- create the layout or hire a professional web designer to do it.
7. Use your social networks to promote products and services
If you don’t want to have your own website or sell your products on a marketplace, avoiding commissioning, an interesting tip is to take advantage of the power of social networks!
Many people use Facebook and Instagram to promote crafts, catalog merchandise, handmade items, and even services like manicures and party decorations. Request a disclosure from your network.
The more people share the posts, the greater the reach of your work. This is much more affordable than traditional marketing (flyers, folders, and the like). Combining this strength with good quality products or services, you get good money!
8. Answering online surveys
Did you know that you can earn money by answering surveys on various topics on the Internet? So it is! There are companies that offer rewards for people to participate and answer online surveys.
Normally, registration to participate is free of charge and you will earn credits as you complete the survey you entered. Thus, in the hours that are left in everyday life, it is possible to make good extra money to help achieve your goals in a simple and easy way. Wonderful, isn’t it?
9. Sell with the DIY method
Do you know what DIY is? Although the acronym is strange, this is the act of doing craft or manual work. The term is an abbreviation and comes from the English “Do it Yourself”, which means “do it yourself”’. Thus, it is possible to earn more money by producing items and making sales.
There are some tips that can help you on this entrepreneurial journey. It is worth planning what you are going to produce, diversifying your offerings, and doing market research to see which products are most sought after by people.
10. Create a blog or info product
The creation of blogs or digital products is an excellent alternative to gain authority in the market and use this credibility to make sales of your own or your partner’s products.
Imagine, for example, that you have a blog about music. By developing this communication channel, generating value for the audience, and producing content on a regular basis, you gain authority in this segment.
