Let’s be real. This #QuarantineRoutine situation isn’t making us feel any more productive. You’ve already watched enough Netflix movies and episodes online. You’ve already surfed through enough Pinterest mood boards. You’ve already had your identity crisis for the day…. it’s time you do something that actually feels fulfilling and productive. Something that helps you get out of the limbo you might be stuck in. Something that could….. make you money?!
A solid side-hustle along with your main job can make a great addition to your monthly income. We believe in informing and empowering women with opportunities to make more coins!
In this article, we’re giving you a round-up of 5 Ways To Make Money Online During Quarantine:
1. Freelance Worker
If you have got a skill, slap a price tag on it! Many people would pay a lot of money to have freelance workers who would like to take on their projects for them. It is seen as a more affordable alternative to hiring large firms and individual professionals. It’s also known to have a faster turnover rate. You could upload your services on freelance websites such as Fiverr and Upwork, where buyers could hire you for projects, or by the hour – depending on your rates. The best thing is that you could advertise multiple skills in different domains all under one roof! And once you build a good enough rapport with your clients, you could increase your prices and continue to see a boost in sales.
2. Blog Writing
Think you’re a wordsmith who just never got the chance? Well, now you can. And earn a pretty penny for it too! Medium is a minimalist blog reading website that allows its users to read 5 blogs a month before they have to pay a small fee for registration. They have a Medium Partner Program which is open to the public for free, and once you register, you get the option of publishing your own articles. Medium will pay you for every time a membership is made to access your article, or if a non-member reader signed up for a Medium membership within 30 days of reading your article! It’s an easy process, with the only job that you have being to write intriguing articles members want to read. If you decide to sign up, let us know so we can go over and support you. 🙂
3. Affiliate Marketing
The secret to many social media influencers’ success! Affiliate marketing is a great way to earn a profit and open yourself up to many opportunities. With affiliate partnerships, you team up with companies and agencies who will provide you with an affiliate code of their product, and instructions on how they would like their work to be advertised. Afterward, you can review their product, or mention it on your website, along with your affiliate discount code. Now, anytime a user clicks on your link, or uses the code you have provided, you will receive a small profit for essentially boosting the company’s sale. Most affiliate networks will work with bloggers who engage with their target audience. It’s a great way to help out your followers, and yourself!

Foreign Exchange (Forex) refers to the foreign exchange market. It’s also a great way to make a profit from the comfort of your home and with your smartphone. Many entrepreneurs are looking for a new way of making ends meet now that the world has shut down globally. The Forex market trades 24 hours a day during the week and offers a lot of opportunities for profits.

If you are good at thinking on your feet and being strategic this may be a great side hustle for you to look into. The great thing about learning forex is you don’t have to do it alone.

You could earn a good amount of money by signing up for websites that will pay you for every website or application you test on their behalf. All you have to do at the end is finish up a survey briefing them on your experience. Usertesting.com is a website that gives you money for every website that you test for them.
