EARN FROM HOME WITH ZERO INVESTMENT
As a Youngman in 2024, living in Pakistan is not so easy. High costs of electricity bills and food makes it worse with the lower currency value. Most of its skilled and educated youth are moving abroad. But this option is also narrowing down because of its passport, which is among the lowest ranked passports in the world. In this situation one might be earning in local currency but the average monthly salary of a Pakistani worker according to worldsalaries is between 20650 PKR (74 USD) to 80925 PKR (294 USD). In this situation we left with online options. In recent years the internet has opened a lot of avenues to connect the world with a single click. It has faded the boundaries between the different regions and nations. We can adopt it to earn a few bucks. Let’s explore a few options.
Freelancing your skills
If you are good at something, be a part of freelancing platforms like Fiverr, Upwork or Freelancer etc and offer your services. There is a lot of demand for skilled digital workers online. Companies find it easier to hire a person to do a specific job. People from developing countries offer their services a lot cheaper than in developed countries. Companies pay less and they are also not obliged to their employee’s residence or medical insurance.
Here’s how you can get started:
- Choose Your Niche: Find what you are good at (such as writing, graphic design, programming, or digital marketing).
- Create Profiles: Go to freelancing websites like Upwork, Fiverr, or Icopify and make an account.
- Build Your Portfolio: Make your portfolio and showcase it on your website profile.
- Bid on Projects: Make your own gigs on Fiverr or find and apply for relevant freelance gigs on Upwork or Freelancer etc.
- Deliver Quality Work: Satisfy clients to build a positive relationship to work with them in future.
E-commerce: Unlock Your Entrepreneurial Spirit
The best way to earn money and secure your future is E-commerce. We have lots of options when we turn to E-commerce platforms like Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy etc.
Start an online store without investing in physical inventory:
- Dropshipping: Google a drop shipping supplier like CJ Dropshipping or AliExpress etc. in your desired destination and partner with him. Bring them orders and they will handle inventory and shipping.
- Create an E-commerce Website: Find a specific product and make a website using platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce and dropship to the customers.
- Market Your Products: Utilize social media, SEO, and content marketing.
- Digital Products: You can earn a living by selling digital products like different templates and T-Shirt designs on Etsy.
- Print On Demand: Websites like Printify offer print on demand options. You can list your products on their website and upon receiving orders, they will dropship your desired product direct to the customer’s doorstep.
Affiliate Marketing: Promote Products You Love
If you are a social media influencer and have a large following. You can partner with different brands to promote and market their products and sell them with affiliate links to earn commission.
Here’s how:
Select a Niche: Select a product either physical or digital.
Join Affiliate Programs: Sign up with platforms like AmazonAssociates, ShareASale and a local option Markazz App or contact brand team of product.
Promote Products: Share affiliate links on your blog, social media, or YouTube channel.
Earn Commissions: When someone makes a purchase through your link, you earn a commission, and the customer will be rewarded with a discount. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.
Content Writing: Turn Your Words into Earnings
If you are good at writing, you can benefit others by your skills and ideas. You can sell your skills as a freelancer or charge to write as a guest blogger, but I would recommend starting your own blog. Getting a domain and hosting in Pakistan is not very expensive. You can start on Bloggers if you can’t make your own website.
- Blog Posts: Get some help from Google and AI like Chat gpt or Co-pilot to gather some information and write a catchy blog.
- Guest Blogging: Reach out to other blogs for guest posting opportunities.
- SEO Optimization: Use relevant keywords to improve visibility as more traffic to blog will help earn more money via ads.
- Consistency: Post regular as it will help get your blog Search Engine Optimized.
Crypto Airdrop: Your way to web 3
Crypto airdrops are loyalty tokens for early adopters which can be converted into real cryptocurrency after the launch of that coin. These airdrops serve various purposes, such as marketing strategies, raising awareness, promoting adoption and testing early transactions in wallets and NFTs. Usually, to participate in these campaigns you do not need many resources.
It only requires a data connection and device like cellphone or laptop etc. Rest is you and your research. Find a good project with a team in the background, read their whitepaper and start following them to get their loyalty points. Following social media feeds can be very helpful in the crypto world because it is all about buzz and narratives. Recently with the success of Notcoin, Tap-to-Earn bots on Telegram like Hamstercombat, Memefi, Tapswap and Pixelverse etc. started getting some buzz. Bot like Hamstercombat became the fastest growing YouTube channel.
Airdrops are a good option to start with zero investment, but you cannot trust anybody in web 3 verse. So, it is advised not to use your official social media accounts and crypto wallets in these projects. Make new accounts for the airdrops because their security can be compromised.
You can adopt any of the above according to your situation and relish it but one thing’s for sure, you have to be patient and consistent to achieve success in any interest in life. The internet is a vast place with the whole globe on it so here you need to struggle to achieve success.
None of the above is of course any financial advice, these are just leads you need your own research to avoid scams and phishing attacks.
