Do you want to increase your income because the salary you’re getting from your regular job is not enough for you or your family’s needs? If yes, here are the ways I increased my income by working online and maybe you can apply it too. Increasing your income will help you become financially free much quicker.
In this technological world, people are finding more means of increasing their income by working online. And as long as you have the skills and the right equipment, you’re all ready.
Here are the ways you can earn money online.
1. Become a freelancer
A freelancer is a person who works as a writer, designer or the like rather than working on a regular salary basis for one employer.
If you have the technical skills, writing and customer service skills, you can join a freelancing platform like Upwork to find suitable jobs for you and get paid. Payment will differ from each job or your client. You can get paid by the hour or fixed, which means you get the money after you complete the job.
I joined Upwork since 2013. My previous jobs included data entry, article writing, admin jobs and more. I apply for jobs that I know I can or that I can learn to do. I started with $ 3/ hour and it went up to $ 5/ hour.
You need to sign up and create an impressive profile of yourself. Show your portfolios or previous works. Try to sell yourself to the clients.
2. Teach English online
There are tons of jobs for English teaching online mostly from students from China, Japan, and South Korea.
Before applying to be an online English teacher, you must have a stable connection, a computer with a good quality camera and headset with microphone. The environment should also be quiet so you will not be distracted during the class.
I have been working part-time teaching Chinese learners. This job has given me the extra money that I give to my family every month. It’s also convenient because I can just do it in the comfort of my home. In addition, the schedule is flexible. I work when I want to or if there’s something I need to save up for, I work hard by teaching more hours in a day.
If you are interested, you can fill out this application form. This is a referral from me. After you pass all steps of the interview, demonstration and become an active teacher, send me an email or comment down below so we can share the referral.
3. Blogging
Some people think that you can’t earn from blogging. Or you can but only for a few bucks. You will be shocked to know that popular bloggers earn $ 100, 000 or more every month. Though, it requires hard work and dedication. You also need to study about the technicalities behind it.
At the moment, my blog is not earning anything and how I wish it will in the future. For now, I have to spend my time reading and studying about blogging. There are more to learn and skills to improve but I am open to it.
I hope you find this post helpful and I wish you’ll find your way of earning more. Just always remember to manage your time well. Spend time with your family and friends. Have quality time with yourself too. Happy earning!

Hi Ira. I’m wondering if you have tried monetizing your blog other than Adsense. I’ve been searching online and found that ad networks require high traffic such as media.net and mediavine.
Here’s a tip of adsense, you can try the link ads. I found out that I earn more through this add. One day, I hope I can become a full-time blogger like frugalwoods and Paula Pant.
