3 Ways to Make Money From The Comfort of Your Own Home

Wednesday, February 19

Looking to create new streams of income without leaving the house? Maybe you want to give up the rat race and work entirely from home, or perhaps you want to come up with backup sources of money either to pay debts, save or just give yourself more security. There are lots of options this day in age, here are three to get you started.

Create content

Creating interesting content for others is a fantastic way to make money online, and there are several ways you can do this. You could start a blog and share interesting, witty or informative articles. You could start a Youtube channel where you talk about your passions, or you could create an Instagram account and post beautiful photos (it could be anything from travel to your home to fashion) to inspire others. People are fascinated with other people, and the online world gives us a look into other people's lives. You can take advantage of this as a content creator and share what others find interesting. It might sound mundane, but you’d be really surprised at just how many people want to read about your life on a blog, who want to follow your weight loss journey on Youtube or see your travel snaps on Instagram. Build a brand around yourself, and follow other creators to see how they have successfully gone about this.

Start up your own home business

Running a home business is a great way to earn money flexibly if you do it surrounding something you love then it won’t even feel like work. You could monetise a hobby such as selling crafts you’ve made on Etsy, or cakes you’ve baked by creating a home baking business. You could start an eCommerce shop or have a web development company set you up a site where you can sell items for a profit that you’ve bought wholesale. It’s something you can easily do around other commitments such as having children or even around a full time job. If you’re successful, you could even go full-time with it.

Freelance

If you want to make money from your skills in a flexible way, freelancing is the way to go. Unlike starting your own business, there's no risk involved as you don’t need to pay money for a website, marketing, stock or anything else. You can sign up to a freelancing site and get to work on it right away without having to invest any money. Take on the jobs you want, as and when they come in and you can earn cash in the evenings or in your spare time just say at your laptop. Freelance work can be anything from writing articles to designing apps or logos for businesses, there’s a wide range of jobs to suit all kinds of skills.

How To Make $100 This Weekend Online

Thursday, June 28

I bet you spend more than 5 hours online just browsing your social media accounts. I think I spend around 15 hours. The difference between you and me, aside from the number of hours spent online, is that I earn.

Here are some ways you can earn money:

1. Answer paid surveys

I've been answering paid surveys online for almost 4 years already. I think this is the easiest way to earn money online. Legit survey websites don't ask you to pay anything. These are the two survey sites I participate:

AIP Online Surveys

Viewfruit

2. Write articles

I started writing articles in 2006 and was paid $2 for a 150-word article. I don't own a blog back then. When I started my blog in 2013, more writing job came my way. I am now earning $50-$150 per article from direct offers. You can find writing opportunities at

BraVoMark

GetBlogged

ValuedVoice

3. Sell photographs

If you are into photography, you can earn money by selling your photographs online. I already have a few photos on the market and I am only using Sony Xperia Z1 phone. I recently purchased a Sony Alpha 6000 mirrorless camera to come up with more good quality photos. My photos are posted on

4. Sell stuff online

While I'm more of an online shopper than a seller, I also sometimes sell stuff online. I have an account at

Ebay

Shopee

Lazada

Make use of the internet to your advantage. Why not create a video instead of just watching randomly on YouTube or sell stuff by creating a page on your Facebook?

I've been working from home since 2008. Turning my back from the corporate was the best life-altering decision I've made. If you are just looking for extra income, check out the links I listed.

Single Mom Work From Home Opportunity

Thursday, September 14

I've been advocating working from home ever since I embraced this 2008. Who wouldn't want a decent-paying job without leaving the house? This is just a dream scenario for most of us and an ideal setup for single moms who want to spend quality time with their kids while earning. Here's an inspiring story of Teacher Ruby Ann and how working from home changed her life.

Before working as an online English teacher, I worked for a Call Center company. I would always change BPO companies because of the stress and the working hours. I struggled following a set schedule, particularly the ‘graveyard’ shifts. Personally, I don’t really prefer having fixed working hours. So most of the time, after a couple of months, I would get demotivated and move to a new company.

Being a working mom with four kids is very difficult. I don’t get to see them as much as I want because of my work. When I get home, they would be in school.

A cousin of mine, who is an online English teacher of Bibo told me to try ESL teaching. Knowing my preference for a flexible schedule, she said that the job is perfect for me. Aside from that, it’s also an advantage that I know how to speak Japanese (since I lived there before) which is also where the majority of Bibo’s students are from.

When she mentioned that I can plot my own schedule, that made me decide to give it a shot. I started as a part time teacher since I was also busy managing our family business. When I became a single mom, that’s when I started teaching full time, so I can also have time to take care of them.

Starting with Bibo

I easily fell in love with working as a teacher. I really enjoy my classes, especially with my Japanese students. Most of my Japanese students are from Tokyo so it's easier for me to start a conversation and build a rapport. I lived there for a while and I’m familiar with the culture. The majority of my students are teenagers and it is very easy to relate to them and create common ground since we share a lot of common interests.

Just like other moms, I also love watching Korean drama shows which my Korean students enjoy watching too. Talking about it makes me feel like I’m not working.

Time and Flexibility

What I love the most about my job is the fact that I can work anytime I want, and I always get booked every time I open my classes. Even if students cancel 30 mins before the class, it will still get booked right away.

After getting familiarized with the teaching process and the learning materials. I realized that working as an online English teacher can be easy. My preparations for classes are very minimal. You just need to be attentive to your students to know what they need and what kind of atmosphere will work with them. Some students prefer a more serious class, other students prefer a more interactive and lively atmosphere.

This is something that you can learn from experience. It is important that you know their preference. I also make mistakes - it is important to learn from them and remember that this is work and you have to be professional.

Financial growth and independence

Personally, the financial capacity and liberty that this job has brought me is very important. I feel more confident to move knowing I have a reliable source of income. When Bibo became a constant thing for me, that’s when I decided that I can be a single mom and that me and my kids will be alright. Before, I was very scared.

Being able to send my kids to a private school is my biggest achievement and investment. As a single mom, doing so is not very easy. I am not very materialistic. I value education above all, because I want them to study and and have a better future.

Who Can Work as an Online English Teacher?

Home-based online English teaching is perfect for single moms like me. You can work as a part-timer and earn extra income, or you can do full time if you want to balance your time in taking care of your kids while working.

I am glad that I have grabbed this opportunity. If ever you will ask me if until when will I be work for Bibo Global Opportunity, I will say, “Forever.” This has been the easiest, convenient and fulfilling job I’ve ever had. Working here taught me the importance of time management and Work-Life Balance. Life is not just about money and career, it’s also witnessing your loved ones’ milestones to celebrate it with them. I am glad that I am working smart.

Real Story of A Home-based Online English Teacher Of Bibo Global

Friday, July 7

An ideal job nowadays is a home-based job. Ever since I turned my back from the corporate a decade ago and experienced how it's like working from home, I've been encouraging my readers and friends to explore this non-traditional way of building a career. The story I'll be sharing with you today is about Teacher Jyl, a home-based Online English Teacher of Bibo Global.

Teacher Jyl is a young mother who started her family at the age of 18. She used to work as a flight booker in a booking company in Eastwood. She didn't manage to finish college so the teen mom's work options were very limited.

How did you land on your first home-based job?

Two months after I gave birth, I already started looking for work. My job as a flight booker in Eastwood was really stressful for me. I would commute for 4-5 hours in a daily basis and my schedule was always changing. It took a toll on my health and I didn't even have time to see my baby. Every time I would come home, me and my husband would want to sleep and rest for the next day.

This led me to decide that maybe I should start looking for work at home jobs. I found an ad about Bibo Global Opportunity, Inc. and applied. It was not as smooth as I hoped for. I failed my first training because I was so nervous. As an introvert, talking to different people is very hard for me. I practiced and tried again, eventually I passed and I started right away.

The First Crack

I was nervous on my first class. I hoped that my students would just stick to the regular lesson plan and not ask questions. I wasn't sure if I can conduct good classes. But eventually, I started gaining confidence and I started enjoying my classes.

My home life got better when I started with this job. At first my son cried every time I had to go to a separate room to conduct my classes. Even at a young age (now that he’s two) I try to give him an idea of what Mommy is doing. I try to explain that I have to work. So now, when I ask him where I am going, he just answers: “work”. I also get to spend more time with my family and I get to take care of my son most of the time.

Struggles Are Still Real

I never really had that much problem working as an online teacher aside from rowdy students from time to time. I had an incident before where I had a difficult student. The teacher support team helped me. I was so emotional that I cried, she comforted me and encouraged me. She told me that she would do her best to resolve the problem. Every time I have a problem with my students, they would always support me and assure me that everything will be in control. They showed me that they really care about their teachers. I said “this is a good company, because they care and value their teachers.”

Thoughts and Realizations

I enjoy my classes a lot. I don’t really see it as work every time I teach. There was this one time that I had to go to the hospital because my son got sick. I didn’t conduct lessons for 5 days. When I got back, I was so surprised to see my students were worried that i might have quit. One of my students even said: “I thought you’re going to quit, teacher, please don’t quit, stay with us.” It really touched me. That is one of the reasons why i can’t leave my job, I can’t leave my students.

Fruits of my labor

After a few months, me and my husband decided to build an apartment so we can start investing on something. With my earnings in Bibo, we managed to build two studio apartments in a property my parents own. It took us a while to get it done, but we did it. It became one source of our income. Now, I have given it to my parents and let them handle it since I also wanted to start my own pastry business.

Working as a Bibo online English teacher with a flexible schedule gave me a lot of time to take care of my household. I can even now start my own business. I also have the luxury to travel a lot. Now, every time I need to do something, I would just plot my classes on times I can work.

Who Can Work As A Bibo Teacher?

I recommend this to full-time time moms especially to young mothers like me. Since it has a flexible schedule, it is perfect for full-time moms. If you have to take care of your baby during day time, You can adjust your work to your night time, if your baby’s sleeping pattern changes to night time, you can work during the day. Its very easy and convenient.

I also recommend this to shy individuals just like me. It’s just like talking to a computer. You don’t have to face people personally and it will really help your confidence.

It's easy to learn and very easy to fall in love with this work. Everything is simple and easy to understand. Aside from reading from your students’ country from time to time, the materials are provided. English is something we have learned from an early age. Sharing it to your students is easy and fulfilling.
