While searching for a job in Asia, it’s worthwhile to explore an alternative source of income to smoothen the transition period. Existing job holders in Asia may also consider such an option to diversify their dependence on a day job and earn supplement income. So what are these avenues of extra income that can be found on the Internet?
3 Main Sources of Online Income in Asia
- Blogging
- eBay Arbitrage
- Freelance Writing
1. Blogging
Start a blog on a topic of your interest and get paid from contextual advertising like Google Adsense (where ads relevant to your content are served). To begin, you can create a blog on Blogger.com and open a Google Adsense account where you will be guided to generate an Adsense code to be pasted on your blog for ads to appear. Next, commence writing on your blog and you will receive money whenever someone visits your blog and clicks on these ads.
2. eBay Arbitrage
Arbitrage items (buy low and sell high) on eBay.com. Basically, you will need to open an account with eBay and start bidding for items that you are familiar with and know that they are under priced. Next, auction off these under priced items at their true value on eBay and profit the difference.
3. Freelance Writing
Engage in freelance writing jobs from freelance work exchange like GoFreelance. As a start, you can sign-up for a full 7-Day Risk-Free Jobs Pass at GoFreelance for US$2.95 and this will grant you unrestricted access to all the freelance writing jobs available. Next, visit GoFreelance‘s Job Browser, browse Jobs under the “Writing & Editing” category and apply for writing jobs that suit you best.
