Freelancing
There are so many other ways to make money online rather than writing. Plus, you may not be as good as native English writers. Also, you won’t get paid (or make handsome money) if you can’t keep up with the competition.
Writing isn’t for everyone, or it is somewhat annoying if you do it regularly.
But that’s not a problem when you have an another skill to pay your bills such as coding, designing, singing, animating, etc. to earn money online without any investments. You can make money like a full-time depending upon your skill.
It’s far better option for the students to earn money. You will get paid as much as you work. You are your boss, and there’s no annoying middleman.
There’s no fixed time (like a regular job). Make a working schedule and follow it. It’s very simple and the most superior method of making money from home without prior experience.
YouTube
YouTube doesn’t require a formal introduction. It’s the most popular video sharing site in the world. You will find videos about everything here.
You can upload unique videos here and get paid per views. It has a “Monetization System”.
You should have gathered enough info by now. There are so many traditional channels which generate big bucks each month.
You can see it for yourself. Just search anything from your mind and see their* number of subscribers and views on each video. You’ll be able to assume their (approx) monthly earning.
It’s the best method to make spare money by doing nothing special. Can you earn money online by doing nothing?
The answer is a yes pal.
But you should try to make videos about your skill, hobby or something different rather than copying others. That’s the primary rule to get paid from YouTube.
If you have no idea for a channel then, let me tell something fascinating.
Gameplay: I think it’s the most suitable plan for the students if you have PC or console. Why should you start a gaming channel? You can find the answer by doing a quick search.
Go to YouTube, pick any favorite game from your platform and then type the game. You’ll see numerous channels with loads of views.
But I told you to make a unique video. Yep. You’re right. You may not know that Gameplay videos don’t come under YouTube copyright policy. Thus, it’s fine. No* problem at all.
But how are going to capture Gameplay videos? Do you need to buy an additional hardware?
Nope. No need to buy anything. You require game recording software only with a robust configuration for your PC/laptop.
There are both free and paid software available to record your games in full HD resolution. But I recommend the following software: Shadowplay (free), Fraps (paid), OBS (free), Mrillis Action (paid).
You’ll find plenty tutorials about this software. So, what are you waiting for*? Play games in free time and upload your Gameplay videos to make some quick cash. Console players (Xbox one/PS4) watch YouTube tutorials once to record Gameplay videos and upload to YouTube.
Also, you can do product reviews (unboxing, comparison, lists), response video, social experiments, tutorials, animation, etc.
Playing Games
There will be no better way than making money online by playing games. Isn’t it? Yes. You can make a good amount of money by playing your favorite games.
There are two ways to earn money while playing games which are as follow:
- Game Testing
- eSports (online gaming competition)
Some Gaming companies are giving you a chance to test their game before the official release. What’s your role in it? Play the game and provide a little feedback about the match and that’s all. You’ll get paid to for this task. Isn’t it fantastic? Make money while you’re having fun. What else do you want?
- Upwork
- Game-tester
- VMC
- Game-Tester-jobs.com
But what is this eSports (electronic sports)? It’s nothing new in foreign countries. You will get paid if you play games online and won. You can earn decent amount by playing and competing on your favorite games.
Yep. It’s simple. Choose your game and play with other players to test tour gaming skill. Isn’t it the best way to get some cash as a gamer? What do you say? I told you that it is a common thing for International games. But eSports launched in India in February 2016. Isn’t it splendid news for other Indian gamers?
In short, Gaming isn’t for fun only; you can earn a good amount of money by playing games now. You will notice ongoing competition on each platform whether you are a PC or console (PS3, Xbox 360, PS4 and Xbox One) player.
Note: You have to pay the registration fee of Rs 250 to participate in any gaming competition. It’s same for International gaming competition sites as well ($5)
If you are a skilled gamer then, it isn’t a big deal.
Prize money depends on the number of participants, but it goes up to 25,000 Rs (500$) with the sponsor aid.
