Again it is the exciting time of the month where I share my blogging journey with all of you. This is something I look forward to because I like to share what went on with my blog, so I learn and implement new things and in turn, share all the things that helped me.

This month marks the completion of my six months blogging journey!!

Wow!! I remember the time when I was writing drafts every night even before launching my blog. It has been a GREAT journey for me, and it is all because of you……..my readers.

I have learnt so much from my blogger friends that I cannot imagine being here if it wasn’t for their inspiration.

I am so thankful to all of you:-)

This month was super awesome for many reasons. I had HUGE traffic numbers and reached a significant milestone regarding income. I completely owe this to some resources I have been using, which I will share further in the post.

I also reached some of the targets which I kept for myself last month. I firmly believe setting goals can make you very productive and this helped more because I work from home and it is very easy for me to get distracted. (more…)

The new year comes with many possibilities of new jobs, new businesses and more  ways to  earn an income online. Every day, I find new ways of making money with most flexibility and with more income than a usual 9 to 5 job.

If you are looking to make this new year a big success with regards to making money, then you need to find a hustle which you enjoy and still make money from it.

And the possibility of that happening is HUGE.

There are some very promising and highly profitable virtual work areas which are going to go big in this year and it is the right time for you to consider them.

E-commerce

Online E-commerce business is going to be a BIG this year. With so many big marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Etsy and AliExpress, there is no shortage of ideas or inventory to start an online biz.

With many possibilities and such vast marketplaces, having a money making online store is a great place to start making money this year. (more…)

If you are someone like me, then you have a side hustle along with your job.

Most of us do.

But wouldn’t it be a great thing if the side gig you have is something which doesn’t even feel like work?

It would be awesome.

Having a slightly less demanding side job helps you to be more productive, be focused and still make money on the side.

If you are looking to make some extra cash and still enjoy what you do, then you should consider the following options.

Please do remember that these side jobs will not make as much as your full-time job, but they can come in handy for some extra bucks here and there.

Captioning

Captioning is a FUN job. Who wouldn’t want to make money sitting on your couch, watching videos? (more…)

In the series of reviewing some online money making options, today I have a survey panel for you.

Valued Opinions.

As you would have noticed, I have reviewed a survey panel earlier as well. The reason I am doing reviews of research survey panels is that there is a lot of debate about their authenticity and if they pay at all.

Valued Opinions is one of the survey websites which I have used and have had success to make some extra cash.

Valued Opinions have recently revamped their website, and has more useful features now.

Today, I will give some details about this survey panel and how to make good money from it.

How is Valued Opinions different from other survey panels?

Valued Opinions is one survey panel where you can make money relatively quickly when compared to other sites. There are many high paying surveys, and the frequency of getting surveys is high. Another thing with this survey panel, is you don’t get screened out much.

So you have been putting off the idea of starting a blog, and you have a hundred reasons for it. You don’t have time, you don’t think it would sustain, you think it’s not worth the effort, etc.

But there is a desire in you to start something where you write about what you love, express yourself, and you also want to earn from your blog.

I passed through the same phase before I jumped into blogging.

I almost got tempted to start a blog a few years ago but I did not. I finally could not resist it, and I have begun my blogging journey, which I enjoy immensely on the contrary to my fears.

Blogging is something which gives me an outlet while working full-time at my remote job. Talking about something I like and trying to help others was very satisfying.

Through the journey, I did realise that it is incredibly rewarding as well. I worked hard to juggle my job and write the posts at night, but it was all worth it when I started to see that my hard work was paying.

Blogging as a side hustle has been a superb way of making money on the side for me, and it can work out for you too. (more…)

Today, I am going to share with you a list of all the places where you can start your website testing as a side hustle.

Website Testing is a great way to make some extra cash and with most of the usability testing websites paying around $10, it can be a good side gig.

What is Website testing?

Simply put, as a website tester you have to go to a website and see the functionality of different sections of that site. You check if everything is working on the site.

As you navigate, you have to speak out about your opinion on the website. With some testing companies, you might need to use a webcam as well.

Do I need any technical expertise?

No. You don’t need to have any prior experience or knowledge for this, but you should know how to go about and check a website. A basic understanding of navigation on the web is enough for this role.

Apart from that, you should have good command over English and express your opinion clearly, as you get paid for your honest reviews. (more…)

In pursuit of ways to make money online, today I have a great guest post by my friend Francesca of From Pennies to Pounds. She writes about personal finance and money making tips. She is a pro when it comes to juggling things like family, work and study. She has an awesome post about mystery shopping today to make some extra cash.

Mystery shopping is one of the most underrated side hustles, in my opinion. You have more than likely heard of mystery shopping, but do you know what it entails? I always thought that mystery shopping involved acting as an undercover detective and reeling off a memorised script to an unsuspecting worker. I thought that I would have to be a tough customer and kick up a fuss to see how they would react. How wrong I was!

Now, mystery shopping is one of my favourite ways to earn extra money. The reason that I love it so much is that I have managed to get a lot of free food…I am a big food lover! There are all kinds of mystery shops available – once you get into the world of mystery shopping, you will suddenly realise how many companies employ mystery shoppers to come and assess their staff.

Let’s face it.

Everybody wants to earn a good six figure income in a job. And this is thought to be possible in a normal 9-5 job.

What if I say that there are jobs which give you the much sought after six figures sitting at your home?

Unbelievable??

With more and more companies turning to hire remote workers, it is getting easy to find a good job in any field. Companies like SAP, Apple, Xerox, Microsoft, IBM are recruiting more and more home workers.

The main reason for the increasing number of companies to go the telecommuting way is flexibility.

The flexibility to work at any time, the ease to work in the comfort of your home and the biggest reason for the tech industry to go this way is most of the work is done online.

The pay scales I have indicated are for US, but these jobs have almost the same pay range in other countries.

Let’s get into the details and which suits you.

Most of my readers ask me about typing or transcription jobs, because they are the most flexible options to work from home.

Transcription is a very popular work at home job, but not many know what exactly it involves and how to become a transcriber.

Today, I have all the details about Transcription from an expert, Janet Shaughnessy. She started working as a medical transcriber in 2007 and later created a course, Transcribe Anywhere, to help others work online as Transcriptionist in both legal and general transcription fields.

Now, let’s get into this detailed interview to answer all your questions about this excellent side hustle.

What is Transcription and tell us about how you become a Transcriptionist?

Transcription is the process of turning audio and video files into text documents. There’s a myth that people who don’t really understand what transcription is continue to float around the internet — that anyone can be a transcriptionist and all you need to know is how to type. That’s simply not true. (more…)
