Making money online without paying anything was my middle name back in 2011. But it doesn’t get to good until you become frustrated because it might mean those investing in their online business have no fifth sense to money usefulness or are not money frugal nerds, right?

The good news is that having been privileged these years to be online, I will share with you a lot of outstanding ways to make money online with $0. AKA, make money online without investment.


MAKING FULL-TIME INCOME WITH FREELANCING

This involves solving the problems of potential clients. If you can write then many bloggers may want to hire you.

For example, on this website, we have the Hire us section, this species our freelancing gigs. Meaning, you can hire us to do the stated gigs with super quality because we believe in 120% Value.

If you have to create a one-page website, do that if you can, and if not there are other freelance websites you can start with. But before that let’s see how to typically make money with freelancing.


#5. Making Money with Transcription Service

You can start a transcribing gig from the comfort of your home. Here, what this means is to convert an audio, mp3 (podcast) or other formats to words.

The amazing thing here is that a 20 audio transcription can fetch you for $10. And if you do it well, you get more from the client and referrals.

How To Create A Gig On Transcription

In your Chrome browser open up Google docs. Go to Tools, then Voice typing. Go ahead and play the audio/video on your phone and Google Docs will type it out for you. Once again, go through it and you’re done. Send it to the client and get your cut.


#4. Document Conversion Services

This service involves converting the client’s documents from either, PDF or other formats to a Kindle-friendly & accepted format.

How To Build A Document Conversion Freelance Gig

All you need here is your DOC application – MS word. Set the margin to Kindle accepted format. The margin should be at least .25 but the text can be easily read with .5.

Go ahead and take the .doc file (not new .docx), remove any images and upload to Amazon KDP and reinsert the images.

Go through your work and you would have been done.


#3. BECOME A FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGNER

I like guys that can draw or turn images to cartoons. Seriously, I am still looking for a pro who will do that for me. I know I can go to Fiverr but I can’t just do it. #My Bad reluctance.

Now if you are good as a graphic designer then there is a lot of work available for you. Some of the notable side gigs for graphic designers are website logos, marketing materials, packaging and labels, blog and social media images, and much, etc.

To get inspiration, you can visit the following websites.

I Love Typography | Logo Design Love | Just Creative | You the Designer | Designmodo


How to Get your first Gig order – Reviews

Use the above method and make it up. However, you can give your relative $10 to buy your gig. Tell him or her to give you a positive review.
