The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. We spend a lot of time traveling on the global network. We meet our friends on Facebook and Co. But that's not all: for more and more people, the Internet is becoming a good way to earn money from the comfort of their own home . There are now many “business models”. In keeping with the Corona period, when you spend a lot of time in your own four walls on the computer, we would like to introduce you to some options to refresh your household budget!
Answer surveys, write texts, create tutorials!
You can make money on the internet in different ways. It takes little effort to answer surveys on specially created portals. Companies, research institutes and political parties pay for you to express your opinion. Although there are often only small amounts per survey, at the end of the day a lot comes together. It is somewhat more lucrative to work with placement agencies for copywriters and freelancers. Companies place orders there that can be completed comfortably at home.
It's even better if you know a field really well and can earn money with tutorials . Because you don't have to process orders or answer surveys. Rather, you can contribute your knowledge and expertise. You are free to decide what you want to show and explain. You remain your own master. At the same time, you will be rewarded and paid for it.
Quick and easy: answer surveys!
You can easily earn a little money on several opinion research portals. Regular surveys on all sorts of topics are published on these portals. After registering and logging in, you can take part in the various surveys. For each completed survey you will be credited with a few points, which you can later convert into rewards or vouchers for Amazon. Some companies also transfer the money to your account. It's a very easy way to make money by answering surveys. But one thing must be clear to you: you won't get rich from it. But at least: Maybe the money you earn will be enough to fulfill a small, out-of-the-ordinary wish.
Write, text, earn money!
Another way to earn money online is through text brokers, i.e. agencies that place orders for texts. As a registered user, you can choose from the large pool of different orders. You write the texts and receive a fee for each text. It's never been easier for people who love writing to get jobs. The only disadvantage: The texts are usually paid for just a few cents per word. You have to hit the keys to make it worth it. If you have to research for a long time and write slowly, you will have difficulty earning the minimum wage . However, if you work quickly, you can look forward to a good salary. By the way: under certain circumstances you can report your income as a copywriter to the artists' social security fund online. If things go well, you will receive subsidies for your social insurance.
Turn your knowledge into money!
Last but not least, the Corona pandemic has made it clear to all of us how important the Internet is in the area of school and further education. It turned out that it's not just about the technology. There must also be people who can implement and process the knowledge digitally. If you are really good in a subject area, you can share your knowledge with other people via the Internet. So-called tutorials are small, digital teaching units that have been very popular since Corona. And this popularity makes it attractive to get involved in the tutorial market.
If you're good at programming or playing an instrument, it won't be too difficult for you to make your knowledge and skills available to others. You record videos in which you explain how to play the guitar, repair the model train, care for houseplants and much more. The technology for this does not have to be complex. Many customers like the authentic style when the videos are not perfect studio productions. You can offer these tutorials “for sale” on online marketplaces. It is worth it .. Many people have already declared creating tutorials as their main job because it is an easy and simple way to earn more than they do in their day job.
Pay attention to tax traps!
Whether as a copywriter or as a tutor - the tax office is always there, even when working on the Internet. The money paid out by the agencies and marketplaces must be taxed. Social security contributions may apply. Strictly speaking, even if you only answer a few surveys a year and get paid with an Amazon voucher. Your tax advisor can give you lots of tips so that the money doesn't end up straight back at the tax office.
