If you haven't thought about how to make money online you're either...
A) 90 years old and your grandchild just got you your first computer,
B) uhhh honestly, I don't know what the hell you're doing.
...It's 2018! And over $1.2 million a year is made every 30 seconds...in e-commerce alone!
But if you're here and reading this article I don't need to tell you all the statistics. You already know college isn't worth it and you want to learn how to make money online.
We've all seen the countless plots, gimmicks, articles, and suggestions on what you can do to make money online - but I'm not going to add most of those jobs in here. No survey taking, or video watching - only legitimate jobs you can do from your computer...38 Jobs How to Make Money Online38. Network Marketing (MLM)
Ugh, do I have to? Yeah, ok, there are some ways to make money online with multilevel marketing (MLM) schemes. The thing is - it just seems like a cheezy plan to try to sell to friends and family who then sell to their friends and family. However, because some of the businesses become so big there is plenty of success stories.37. Medical Billing
Medical billing is the act of communicating with third-party payers what services were provided to patients, and why. While not the sexiest nomadic job - it gets the bills paid. There aren't any specific education requirements for medical billing, but you will have to be trained in specific medical coding lingo.36. Amazon Mechanical Turk
Amazon's Mechanical Turk is merely a step above those survey-taking, video-watching scams. Well mostly because it's run by the most legitimate company in the world - Amazon. You get paid very small (usually around $0.06-0.08) per task for very mundane tasks. If you have a ton of time on your hands you could make some money. But don't expect to be living large in the 1st world off this income.36. Account Manager
Nearly every substantial company in the world needs account managers to be the intermediary between the client and the company. While this position may have you back in the 9 to 5 grind...there's a chance you can do this from anywhere.35. Create and Sell eBooks
While eBooks may not generate the most income - the barrier to entry is extremely low. To make money online with eBooks, all you need is expertise in a certain area and a high volume of traffic to a website. If any particular eBook becomes super popular you can always add more products or services on that topic.34. Tax Preparer/Accountant
Naturally, when you think of an accountant you think of sitting at a desk, in a cubicle, calculator in pocket, 9-5, etc. Well, accountants nowadays are bending the mold. If you get a solid base of clients under your belt you can take your tax preparation skills remote.33. Buy & Sell Domains
Back in the 1990's buying and selling domains, would've been in the top 10 on how to make money online. But it's much harder today. Most big keyword domains have been purchased and the number of domain endings (.com, .co, .us, etc.) has increased to allow for various options.32. Virtual Assistant
The virtual assistant position has grown ever since Tim Ferris' 4-Hour Work Week. The premise - hire someone monthly to handle all of your daily mundane tasks...scheduling, research, email correspondence, data entry, etc. If you land a good client you could make good money online; however, be prepared to be at the whim of your boss.31. Translator
Translators are more necessary in the workplace than you may realize. Legal documents, medical documents, online classes, etc. If you speak more than one language at a high-level - being a translator is an easy way how to make money online.30. Brand Ambassador
Usually, brand ambassadors are located within a city or college, but some brands have begun to allow brand ambassadors to focus solely on online ambassad-ing (sp? word? IDK). Anyway, if you're good with social media and really connect with a particular brand this could be a great option for you.29. Blogger
The infamous blogger position. Of course, the blogger has been on the list of ways on how to make money online since the beginning of RSS feeds. However, most full-time bloggers still bring in less than $19k per year. Not too great of a statistic. But if you're really keen on a niche topic - go for it. I did ;)28. Podcaster
The new age of blogging is audio blogging a.k.a. starting a podcast. Usually, podcasts earn money online from gaining sponsorships for each 'pod'...or 'cast'...I'm not really sure what the slang for podcasts is, to be honest. Gain enough listeners and you could charge a pretty penny for those sponsorship slots.27. Customer Service/Admin Support
Many companies have begun to realize customer service and admin jobs can be handled by outside resources and therefore save the company a LOT of money. While you may not earn the same amount of money if you worked in an office, a customer service position is an excellent stable way how to make money online.26. Transcriptionist
If you haven't heard of a transcriptionist as a job position - don't worry - neither did I . Basically it's just someone who types out the transcription of audio files. Turns out it's actually a really great way how to make money online.25. Online Tutor
Teaching online classes is always a sure-shot way to make money online. If you're bilingual - one of the services I suggest using is Verbling. It's extremely easy to set up an account and you can start earning really good money immediately.24. Lead Generation
Lead generation is fairly new to the world of making money online. You'll need some basic web development skills to set up and bring in leads online - then you sell local businesses those leads. You make money online, the business makes money, and the client gets their service #everybodywins.23. Rent Out Your Stuff
Have a car, house, clothes, sports gear, etc? Yep - you can rent out all these things to make money online. Check out Airbnb, RentNotBuy, Loanables, Turo, Spinlister.22. Affiliate Marketing
If you can get enough traffic online whether it be from a blog or a landing page on a specific topic - affiliate marketing is a great option how to make money online. All you do is use special links referring traffic to a particular service/product and get a percentage of the sale. Amazon has one of the biggest and best affiliates programs.21. Create a Marketplace
If you think you're a good judge of market trends - you can create a marketplace in a specific niche. A marketplace is somewhere where many different businesses sell their products or services. It will take some initial setup costs, like getting a website up - but you can quickly and cheaply set up a WordPress marketplace in a couple of weeks.20. Crowdfunding Consultant
Crowdfunding became one of the hottest trends of the past decade. Nearly every startup wanted to kick off their business with a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign but didn't know where to start. That's where crowdfunding consultants come in. Prove you can get businesses a certain amount of money and you can start charging hefty bills.19. Graphic Designer
One of my favorite websites and services is 99designs. And some of the best independent designers exist on 99designs. You sign up for a free account and create designs on projects to try and win the company's project. Graphic design does take a lot of time, but if it's something you love doing - you won't mind putting in the extra hours doing something you're passionate about.17. Content Creator
The adage of the 21st century seems to be "content is king". And companies are willing to pay up to get the best content creators out there. If you have a knack for creating stunning infographics or short videos - being a content creator is an amazing way how to make money online.16. Day Trader
Whether it be through the stock market or cryptocurrency, day trading can be a very lucrative job. However, this position isn't for the faint of heart. Be prepared to lose a lot of money, be glued to financial news, and be stressed out 24/7...well that is unless you win big ;)15. Video Producer
Video production is something few people know how to do and many people are willing to pay for it. It's not uncommon for a video producer to have an hourly salary of around $150. Most often the biggest obstacle to video production is finding clients. One good way to keep business coming in is to do smaller jobs on marketplaces like Fiverr and Upwork.14. Facebook/Google Ads Consultant
Facebook and Google are ranked #1 and #2 as the most visited websites on the internet. This is why they are the two biggest advertising giants in all of the world. While many businesses know the facts - they have ZERO ideas how to effectively market themselves on both platforms. Make money online for your clients and you'll learn how to make some yourself.13.
