Earning an Income Online - The Smart Way!

Wondering how to earn an income online? You've come to the right place. This blog post will provide you with a comprehensive list of potential ways for you to earn money from home without having any prior experience. From teaching English, to tutoring students, or selling something on Etsy, these are all legitimate methods for finding a side hustle.

I'm Darlene, a digital nomad who loves to travel and experience other cultures. I have spent the past couple of years abroad teaching English and living off of my online income while working for myself.

During my time abroad, not only did I make some great friends, but as a result, I've gotten to know many expats who are now making money on the side, too. As someone who has been making money online since 2008 (when I made over $10k/mo), I have learned a lot about how to make money working for ourselves.

I was also lucky to meet and interview a few digital nomads who have become some of my favorite people in the world. If you want to get inspired, check out this post .

Why should you use making money online as a side hustle? I've met many people who are looking for ways to make extra cash on the side, but they don't want to invest the time and effort into it. Why not? Because they believe that it's all too hard, and for some reason, they're too lazy to do it themselves. THAT'S NOT THE CASE!

If you are currently working (part-time or full-time), then switching to a side hustle is definitely something worth considering. I'll show you how to find more time for yourself, and how you can continue working and still earn an income.

Working During Your Free Time

One of the biggest problems with gaining an online income is finding time to work. You see, most people are full-time employees who have a job requiring them to be at their place of employment Monday through Friday, from 8am – 5pm. When they arrive home from work, they know that it's not like they can take a nap or watch tv while they're bored. They need to spend that time working on their side hustle.

When you are an employee, typically, you have a limited amount of free time. This is mainly due to the fact that your employer controls your schedule. If your boss decides that you are going to be working through lunch on a regular basis or are forced to work late more than once a month, then you're not going to get much free time.

What if your employer let's you work from home? Then there is no reason that you can't continue working on weekends and still make money. There is still some control in place, but it's not as severe as it would be at an office job.

Conclusion: Having a part-time job is okay as a way to earn some extra cash while still working your normal gig. However, this is not the best method for those who are looking for a full-time opportunity.

What if you're currently unemployed? You're definitely going to have more free time than people who are employed full-time, but you may not have enough free time to make a significant amount of money.

If you want to start making money online, then you need to spend your freed-up time working on your side hustle. This means that if you were previously spending 5 hours per week watching TV, then you need to find something else productive that can fill those hours.
