Top-7 Ways to Earn Online in Pakistan

Top-7 ways to Earn Money Online in Pakistan

1. Blogging

Blogging is on the top due to two major reasons; firstly it is easy to start and maintain and secondly you can start a free blog initially. A blog is a type of website where you write posts regularly on any topic. People interested in these topics visit your blog website and you earn by displaying ads on your blog.

I also started my online career by creating a free blog on Blogspot. You can also create a free blog on blogspot.com. There are many other websites which offer free blogs. Simply fill out simple forms and choose  layout and design of your blog and your blog will be available online. Now login to your dashboard, customize settings of it and start writing posts on it. Once your blog is ready, submit its url to major search engines and also promote it on social media e.g. Facebook, Twitter etc. Soon you will see visitors coming to your blog.

Now its time to earn money from it, you can register your blog with any ad network e.g. Google AdSense, InfoLinks etc. If your blog fulfils Google's requirements, apply for Google AdSense. Work hard on writing your blog and promoting it, you will start earning slowly in start but keep working and you will get good results.  In Pakistan you will get paid via Western Union, once your earnings reached minimum 100$.

2. Freelance Jobs

If you are computer literate and can work for others, you may join any network of freelancers. There are many websites (e.g eLance.com, oDesk.com) which provide platform to freelancers and employers. Here employers post jobs and workers bid on their jobs. Employer award job to a suitable worker and deposit its bid amount to freelance platform, upon the successful completion of the job, freelancer get paid via cheque, direct deposit in bank or via a debit card issued by the company. There are many different type of jobs posted every day from simple typing jobs to engineering projects, website designs and graphics designing etc.

There are an other type of freelance networks (e.g Fiverr.com) where you create your profile and enlist jobs you can do for a fix amount. People who are interested to hire you will contact you via the same network's website and will pay you after the job completion. This amount will be kept in your virtual account and you can withdraw it via PayPal or Payoneer Card etc.

3. Online Store

This option is best for those who are already in the business of selling or manufacturing goods. You can open an online store by creating a website for it or simply create a Facebook Fanpage for it where you can post details and price of your products and people who are willing to buy will contact you. Many people are selling goods just by posting ads on OLX and other classified ad websites. This option requires investment to store products, to develop a website and to make delivery arrangements e.g. Courier.

4. Writing for Others

If you are good in writing, you can join other websites/ blogs as content writer. Pro-bloggers often welcome paid writers on their blogs and pay you per post. You can also write posts and stories for others or simply can work as an editor. This is the most simple method in which you don't need to create a website or sell anything. Just write blog post using any Text Editor Software e.g. MS Word and send to the admin of the blog. 

5. Software and Website Development

If you are an IT Expert, you can develop websites, software and mobile applications for others. This field has huge earning potential. Just create a website for you and enlist your abilities and show your work to the world. Put your completed projects in portfolio section of the website. People from around the world will contact you to develop a website or program for them. You can also work as Freelancer Developer, see no. 2 above.

6. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is also a popular earning tool. You create accounts with different sellers and promote their products by different means using your own affiliate ID/ URL. You can refer your friends and contacts or can write eBook to promote a product or can add their ads on your website. These companies will pay you commission for every sale made through you. 

7. Reseller Business

Reseller business is also a good way to make money online but requires hard work and marketing skills. Reseller web hosting business is very popular these days. People buy things from the main company and resell to customers with own brand name and on own prices. For example, people buy bulk hosting space from a big company and resell to customers with their own custom packages and rates. There are also some companies which let you sell hosting space without buying. These companies give you whole sale rates and you sell these products to your customers on your price. You act like a middle man where customers buy things from the main company without knowing this. In this business, reseller business companies usually assist you to develop your online store. Just promote your virtual store and earn commission on sales.
