How To Earn An Extra Income From Your Computer
Whether you’re saving for a deposit on a new car, trying to afford that dream holiday, or just looking to pad out your monthly wage a little, there are plenty of ways to earn some extra money with little more than a computer and a can-do attitude. Below are a few examples out of the many opportunities you could try out. Some take almost no effort, some may take a little more of your time, but all will increase your earning potential.
Affiliate Marketing
Many working professionals already have their own blogs set up. You may have one to talk about your hobbies, your work, or just about everything you encounter in your day to day life. You can easily turn this into a steady stream of supplementary cash, while barely increasing your workload. Affiliate marketing works by companies approaching you to mention or recommend them within your blog posts, and then you gain a small commission for each sale they subsequently make to customers you send their way. If you don’t have a blog set up, don’t worry; it doesn’t take long to set one up, though you may have to work at building a following before you start to earn much from your affiliations. There are also a number of companies who can help set you up with a website and organize the affiliations for you.

The beauty of this income source is that it usually requires little effort on your part if you are writing anyway, so is an excellent source of passive income
Online Surveys
This one may require a little more time on your part, but is usually a quick and easy way for some extra money. Plenty of websites are available that will ask you to complete surveys and reviews on behalf of their clients. Each survey usually rewards you with a number of points, which you can then exchange for cash after a certain number has been reached. The earning potential for this is never going to be enough to let you quit your day job, but it’s hardly the most difficult option to increase your bank balance.
Invest in the Stock Market
Seeing the words ‘invest’ and ‘stock market’ in the same sentence may be filling you with a subtle sense of dread, but don’t panic too much. You don’t have to throw your life savings at a startup company and cross your fingers that it all goes well, only to have the company fall through a few months later. Obviously, the safer you play it, the less money you can potentially make; but you’re trying to make some extra money, not risk losing it. Buying shares in larger businesses or holding companies can be a smart way to ensure that your investment stays safe. Big companies also tend to offer dividends on your initial outlay which you can use to treat yourself, invest elsewhere, or reinvest in the company. On the other end of the spectrum, you could choose to seek out the ‘penny stocks’ and buy into those. The chance of significant growth is minimal, but if the share price goes up by only a penny, you’ve doubled your investment. You never know, you could also strike lucky and invest in the next big company and be able to retire early on the millions you earned from your small investment. It’s unlikely, but it’s nice to dream.
Hopefully, these ideas have given you something to think about. As mentioned previously, there are many other possibilities to earn extra income without dedicating every spare moment to your new venture, so go and do some researching and start planning how you’re going to spend your new found wealth.
