Now that we are back at home again, you started to have more time in your hands that you know what to do with. You want to put this time to good use, you want to make some extra money on the side, so when this is all done, you can go on that much-needed holiday or any achieve any other goal that you’ve been meaning to.
There are many things you can do to earn an extra income from the comfort of your home and some of them I’ve been doing for years. Today, I’ve partnered up with Magento web design agency in London UK, Ad Lab to share a range of ways you can make some extra money at home.
Start an online store
It might sound more difficult than it is. It might sound that it will be overwhelming and not something that you would be up for. However, starting an online store is actually easier than it sounds, and if you choose a good product, you can go from a small online store to a global enterprise.
You might have a passion for creating your own homemade products and have already sold a few to friends and friends of friends. If they loved it, why wouldn’t other people love it? Think big! Create an online store for your handmade products and make an income from your passion.
Carolina from Ad Lab recommends creating either an eCommerce WordPress store or a Magento store depending on what you are looking to get from your online store. Once your store is set-up, the team at Ad Lab recommend putting your website up to an award, like these from Ad Lab at AWWWARDS.com, as well as adding your website designs to websites such as Mindsparkle Mag. The team at Ad Lab were mentioned as the site of the day on Mindsparkle Mag and received over 10,000 visits in one day.
To generate more sales, increase brand awareness and attract more customers, Carolina from Ad Lab recommends creating Google Ads right from the start plus, you can also do podcasts to drive awareness, here’s one Ad Lab did with James Sinclair.
Create a blog
As this article on Family Budgeting mentions, “If you love browsing through various blogs and always thought “what if I started my own?” – it might be time to actually do it.“ No more what ifs. If you’ve always wanted to know what it would be to have your own little corner of the internet, where you meet people you enjoy the same things as you and where you can talk about your favourite topics, it’s time to start a blog!
Freelance
Do you have any online skills that would be helpful for others? From writing and social media managing to virtual assistance and photography, there are plenty of services people need help every day. So, get out there and start promoting your skills. Lylia Rose advises on promoting “your services using social media, join in with online networking events and sign up to gig sites like Fiverr to promote your digital services.”
Affiliate marketing
You don’t have to be a large blogger or influencer to be part of an affiliate marketing programme. Affiliate marketing programmes, such as the Amazon Affiliate program, “allows you to earn a percentage on purchases made from Amazon products which are featured or recommended on your website.” as My Fashion Life explains in this article. You can promote these products on your social media, website or any other online platform you might have.
