This provides an opportunity for you to enter into the gig economy, create some side income and perhaps create a full time business. Here are 5 websites you can leverage your skills to start making $100 per day.
This is a website for freelancers. As technology has advanced, businesses have begun to realize its potential in growing their business. On this site you can leverage your skills to provide values for companies and small business owners who will hire you for specific projects. There are a number of categories such as Administration Support, Customers, Service, Marketing Accounting, Mobile Development, and Virtual Assistant. I have personally used the virtual assistant platform to help me with finding research and outlining that findings. The platform is fantastic and it takes the headache out of payment processing, so you can focus on doing what you do best.
This is the place people go to purchase photos, video clips and music tracks. These downloadable items are royalty free. Artists are cracking down on copyright and marketing infringement. One can not longer google an image and save as. You have to perform due diligence and attribute the work that the you find. With this crack down on, many people are begining to protect themselves from becoming a defendant in a court of law and purchases license or individual artist’s work on sites such as ShutterStock. You can make money by uploading your content. Each time someone purchases you are getting paid with little to not further work.
This website is all about flipping websites. It is almost like a business broker. There are sites that are established and ready for sell. Many of these sites are already making money on monthly basis. The selling price range varies. I have seen one as low as $20. The important thing is that sites may not all generate mind blowing income, but it is already set up for you to make modifications and turn it (flip it) into a profitable website. Other sites are already generating significant amounts of money. I saw one site that was for sell for $3,500. The description page provide detailed information about the site, the length it has been active, the platform, and the net profit per month(p/mo). If I were to purchase that site, I’d expect to reap $800 p/mo. I could expect to recoup my $3,500 investment in about 5 months!
This is site similar to Upwork. There are soo many things that you can do from proofreading, resume writing, editing videos or event social media marketing . I have used this website to create a logo for my first business in elderly homecare. It was very cost effective and the turnaround was about 24 hours. The freelancer with whom I worked was very responsive and made updates quickly. Again, many small business owners are looking to outsource work to people with the skills sets to do them. This is a prime time to get on board create a profile, look for projects and get to work! <a
With Kindle Publishing, You can make money by writing an ebook and publishing it on the Kindle Platform. The Kindle is a hugely popular device to read books and get your magazine subscriptions! When I was 27, I wrote a chapter for a book called 70 Things to Do When you turn 70 where I talked about my work with elderly. This book is available on Kindle 5 years later! So you can definitely make passive income for a long time afterwords. Even if you have a business, this is one way to drive leads to your business. One thing I learned is that you do even have to write the book yourself, you can hire a ghost writer through Upwork or Fiverr. One Stephen James of Project Life Mastery is one of my mentors, and he mentioned this idea, and has created a course on how to publish on Kindle. This is definitely a way to increase your productivity and your passive income!
