That who says “You can’t earn money just by sitting in front of your computer” doesn’t have any experience on how to make money online. There are lots of ways to earn with some writing skills and some betting clicks when you truly put yourself into it. If you’re more into thinking and writing/blogging, you can try to apply for an online job.

Online Jobs

Even with so many scams in internet job market, there are legitimate job opportunities available. These jobs require a computer with an Internet connection, probably a telephone (optional) and some skills. In this article, we will talk about some online jobs to pursue.  In the negative side, the potential might not be that bright in the beginning but, as you go things should become brighter. The benefits of the online job are the flexible work schedule and a job that might offer you  great monetary reward.

Here are some of the internet/online jobs you should think about

Virtual Assistant

If you are good at managing status-quo and believe in order this could be the best job for you. This is like an office assistance, who keeps track of boss’s needs, keeps books, organizes meetings, arranges for meetings, set reminders and take orders.

You should be able to maintain calendars, good at multi-tasking and should be ready to assist even in odd times.

Content Writer

Many should know that writing is a skill that can be easily developed. This just doesn’t make anyone’s writing ability up to a steep, it can also be a way of making a fortune. When you already have the confidence to write, all you have to do is take a deep breath and look for an open position. This kind of job is also offered home-based. This way, you don’t have to travel to your office to do your job.

SEO

Nowadays, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) experts are highly needed. They are the ones who bring life to online businesses by ranking the business’ brands up and leaving their competitors behind.

With the right tools and knowledge with this kind of job, you’ll never say bye-bye to cash again.

Consultant

This kind of job is somehow tricky, especially when you’re really in-demand. There are many kinds of consultants and you have to pick your best suit before labeling yourself as one.

Being a consultant needs to be always alert and prepared. This can be done with email exchanges from the consultant to the client or through web calls (e.g. Skype). What if being professional is not your type and you find playing online games more fun?

Let’s face it; being straight professional is not everyone’s steamroller. Most like to be looser, like the people we call gamers. Everybody has a gamer inside them, it’s just… there are people who take it seriously that they study every bit of the game they were playing and even earn cash from it.

Game reviewer

When you’re a dead serious gamer, you’ll have the ability to be a reviewer. You just have to forbid yourself from being biased from the games you have to review. From that point, all you need is the name of the game, the eagerness to share it with others and the right position for the job… and whoa! Hello, cash.

Gaming Consultant

Like what is said above, there are many kinds of a consultant, and one of them is this.

Not just because you inserted “gaming” on a label, it means it would be easy. Being a gaming consultant is a serious job. You need to be well prepared, devoted and knowledgeable with the games you handle.

*Game reviewers can be your best bud with this line of work.

Game Researcher

Researchers are often being mistaken as a Reviewer. Although they are close enough, they are still different from each other.

Researchers are the ones who dig every bit of details from the game. They take the time to study and investigate it in order to discover something only the game developers knew. Then they revise it and give the people the facts they need to know about the game.

While the “Reviewer” critiques and put up an article summarization of the game the “Researcher” studied.

If you still don’t see yourself liking to exert much effort to earn money… then you can try your luck with these:

    The more I learn about the blogging world, the more I’m realizing how many people actually make a lot of money from content writing! I’m still pretty ignorant about how it works, but it looks like it has a lot of potential!

      Making money from content writing is simple and anyone can be successful at it (in my opinion). For me the two most important things someone will need to know before they get started is niche selection and getting the right training.

      I wrote an article about finding the right niche at:

      http://onlinehomeincome.org/internet-business-niches

      Too many people get into niches that are too competitive or are not fit to make any real money. This was my biggest mistake when I first got started. Beginners will also need to find the right training to get started as well.

    These are just some of the many ways to earn online. The jobs listed are the one that can be a long term career for someone who have the skills and knowledge. You’ll see these types of jobs on Elance, Odesk, Freelancer, and other freelancing sites and people who are providing this type of service really earns a lot!

    Have started my online journey as a web designer since 2002. In the past 12 years I made money from this, also from selling web hosting, blog advertising etc. There’s a lot of earning potential, it does take time and effort, though.

      I’ll second that. I tried so many other ways to earn money on the side but, blogging is best and consistent way so far. You can earn 2-10 K dollars working at home on your couch by any other means.
