Working on the Internet at home without investment and without deception: 15 relevant ways

What you need to be able to in order to work on the Internet

To work on the Internet, you need to have only two skills: be a confident PC user, and be able to search for information on the Internet... More from a beginner is not required.

Before starting work, it is enough to study several sites dedicated to types of earnings, analyze what suits you best and start to understand the profession itself. But if you want to quickly start making decent money on the Internet, then there is a set of necessary skills, each of which will help in mastering interesting professions:

• Working with texts- typing, editing, design;
• Working with graphic editors- at least be able to design pictures for posts;
• Working with sound / video- perfect for starting the network;
• Programming Is an ideal skill for successful internet surfing.

Also, in order to develop in any field, you need at least a basic knowledge of the English language. Sooner or later, acquaintance with one of the customers will lead you to a foreign site, and working through a translator is sheer hell. That is why in order to be able to find relevant information, which is not enough in the Russian segment of the Internet, you need to know the languages ​​- best of all, English.

Also, most of the manuals for successful freelancing will also need to be taken there, abroad. In Russia, despite the abundance of sites, there are still few really strong specialists in many areas, with the exception of programming and design. There are hundreds of copywriters who are able to successfully sell products, and there are even fewer competent social media promotion specialists.

Getting started on the Internet is very easy - just have a stable connection and basic PC skills. But in order to successfully "take off", sometimes it takes much more than most offline jobs. And if you want to become a successful freelancer, then you will have to understand many areas (this does not mean being a specialist), because almost everything related to working on the Internet closely overlaps with each other.

Where does the money come from on the Internet and how to get it out of there

The Internet is now a platform where business is conducted no less, and in some niches even more than the real segment. The answer to the question of where money comes from on the Internet is simple and trivial: businessmen bring them to the network... The Internet is now an excellent advertising platform for promoting goods and services.

In some niches, online advertising is much more effective than on outdated platforms such as television. And in order to be able to attract an audience to their product, businessmen bring money to the Internet, which then diverge in other directions.

It is also worth noting that now about 30% of all trade has gone to the network.

Money on the Internet is as real as on your bank account and credit card. You cannot touch them, but if you need to, you can easily get them in just a few clicks. The only drawback of money on the Internet is the long process of cashing out (in some cases, up to 3 days).

But how to withdraw money from the Internet? For this, there are electronic wallets - platforms that accept electronic money, allow you to make purchases on them on the Internet and cash them out for real.

There are many internet wallets in Russia, but 3 remain the most popular:

• QIWI;
• Webmoney;
• Yandex money.

Convenience is a matter of taste, but in my opinion Webmoney has too strong a system of protection, which is sometimes annoying. In order not to lose potential customers due to the fact that you do not have a suitable wallet, register everything.

There are other jobs on freelance sites, but they are not as popular as the professions above. If you are thinking in what area to develop, you can read the TOP-5 of the most demanded professions on the Internet.

In-demand professions on the Internet

Over the past 3-4 years, the Internet has matured, matured, and acquired support in the form of real business. Now, when most companies have paid attention to the worldwide network, large amounts of orders have come, which in some niches allow you to earn big money. Let's figure out what professions are in demand on the network now, and how long they will still be like that.

1st place - programmers

Programmers will always be in demand, and that's a fact! In any case, even if the world is suddenly taken over by robots, programmers will remain and will be needed in many companies. It is quite difficult to be able to create applications and programs that are necessary for performing specific tasks. But at the same time, large companies (especially banks) try to save their programmers, take care and do whatever they ask.

In a network with programmers, everything is somewhat simpler. Difficult tasks are rarely entrusted to freelancers, but medium and simple ones are quite. That is why even an average programmer can easily make money online without worrying about the fact that someday customers will stop writing to him. That is why programmers are unambiguously ruling the show.

2nd place - designers

It's a little strange, but cool designers are in demand almost always. This is due to the fact that a good designer can work with many projects, retraining from one direction to another. For example, designers for voluminous websites with 100-200 pages have been popular for a long time. Now we need designers for one-page pages. And in the tops are the same people who, when they drew for full-fledged, huge sites.

Precisely because there is a lot of work in different directions, designers on the Internet will definitely still be in demand for the next 20 years at least.

3rd place - copywriters

Copywriters have been required for about 10 years and the boom still does not end there. As long as there are sites, there will be those who have to fill them. And over time, the fashion for selling texts that are ordered from top freelancers has come, and copywriters have become even more in demand. As long as the internet is a great advertising space, copywriters will make a lot of money.

4th place - advertisers of all stripes

Well, what a top profession without advertisers. It is a real art to make the customer's product known, while spending minimal funds. Especially now, when the competition is growing on the network and there is a serious struggle for each client. This is why great advertisers are now valued much higher than regular employees.

For a beginner, setting up an advertising campaign will be a frequent task. But over time, you can already promote the company by creating unique content, attracting by various promotions and other means that just come to your mind. In general, it is very profitable to be a good advertiser now.

5th place - specialists in working with social networks

These guys began to be in demand just a couple of years ago, but have already firmly established themselves in the top search for specialists. People who know how to promote products and brands on social networks are still catastrophically few, and those that do take a lot of money for this work. As long as businessmen consider social networks as a source of clients, people for these positions will be in demand. And with such crazy development, constant PR and warming up interest in them, everyone will not forget about them soon. Therefore, our top most demanded professions on the Internet are closed by specialists in working in social networks. networks.

These are the 5 most in-demand specialists who can easily find a job and be in demand everywhere and always. In addition to them, there are two more categories that can even find remote work in medium-sized companies: competent lawyers and accountants.

And we will put site building and website promotion apart. It was originally an area that tells itself what to do and how. Regardless of everything, website development will be popular and in demand. Only, firstly, you need a lot of money to create, and secondly, you will have to work for yourself, and not on order.

How and where to look for work on the Internet

In total, job search can be divided into two different areas:

• Working with freelance sites \ exchanges;
• Search for customers directly.

In the first case, you simply register on the site, fill in the input data and look for a customer. All issues of input / output, data security and other complex issues will be addressed by the site itself. In fact, this is a place that is an intermediary and guarantor between the employee and the employer.

Freelance exchanges and sites

First, let's talk about copywriting exchanges. These are large platforms where webmasters (site creators) are looking for those who can fill their sites. Less often, intermediaries come to such sites who have found an expensive customer and offer others to fulfill this order for a lower amount. Copywriters and translators can find jobs here. Most popular exchanges:

• Etxt;
• Advego;
• Syllabist;
• Copylancer.

Now about freelance sites. Specialists from different fields can find work on them:

• Copywriters;
• Translators;
• Programmers;
• Designers;
• Photographers;
• Sound engineers;
• Editors;
• Advertisers;
• Analysts;
• Accountants;
• Lawyers and many others.

Almost all freelance sites have a similar structure, so it's best to sign up for a few to start trying to pick up mid-range orders. Freelance sites:

• Freelance.ru;
• Freelansim.ru;
• Fl.ru;
• Freelance.ru;
• Kadrof;
• Kwork;
• Moguza;
• Weblancer and other similar sites.

Freelance sites and copywriting exchanges always work in a similar way: for completed orders a rating is awarded, the higher the rating, the more expensive the orders (it is more difficult to take expensive orders with a low rating).

Websites for small errands like Worzilla and Youdo... They do not have a clear specifics of tasks, areas in which specialists work. There is a lot of work there and is different: from typing and editing it in the Word, to building houses. Such sites are an excellent platform for those who want to make money on what they can, when they know how little.

Well, the last of these sites will be homework sites. There, hundreds of schoolchildren are looking for someone who could solve their homework assignments, tests, make reports, presentations, and so on for money. As an example - Studlance, Author24 etc.

With the help of exchanges and freelance sites, you can easily find orders, build relationships with new customers, but you will hardly be able to work with the same portal all the time. At the same time, prices on freelance sites are always noticeably lower, in contrast to direct search for customers. That is why those who have worked on the stock exchange for 1-2 years often go free floating and look for customers directly.

Search for customers directly

The search for customers can be divided into two areas: active and passive .

• An active search is more difficult, but it brings a lot of exhaust, since you communicate directly with a potential client and can sell your services directly to the employer.
• Passive search, on the contrary, assumes that the customer will find you himself, stumbling upon a page, blog, resume or something like that.

It is an art to actively search for clients. There are not just a lot of recommendations for finding customers, one could write a huge thick book of them, and this would still be not enough. Active search methods are very different, so we will focus only on the most popular and interesting ones:

• Communication on the forums of potential customers and businessmen... Everything is simple here: you are looking for a forum of businessmen, watch, chat, offer your services. Advantages of the method: simplicity and good exhaust; cons: lack of trust at the first stage and work in the middle price category;
• Working with social networks... Almost the same as forums, only now you communicate in groups, on pages, offer your services, post a portfolio and, in principle, run a business. From the pros: convenience; there are no special cons;
• An interesting way to find clients is recommendations from other customers... Just not word of mouth, but the question “ Do you have any acquaintances interested in these services?". It works flawlessly. Most will really think about it, but with a recommendation from a friend to get a job, it will be much easier for you;
• And now the toughest way, which requires high skills and self-confidence. You are looking for what you target your target audience... It is advisable to first look for them in your city. Then you look for flaws / errors in their sites, texts, advertising offers, video, audio and point to them. At the same time, immediately talk about how you could fix it, and why you need it. And you send out commercial offers. This method is time consuming, but it just gives a crazy exhaust - every third company will be interested and if they do not use the services, they will take note of you as a good specialist.

Passive search for a client involves the following: creating your own profile, laying out a portfolio, sending a resume and waiting for the client to find you himself. Suitable for this: creating your own blog, promoting a profile on freelance sites, creating a group on social networks, posting a resume on sites like Avito, headhunter and others.

You should not choose only active or passive customer search. You need to learn how to combine these two methods, and then the flow of customers and the absence of downtime is guaranteed to you.

Before you start looking for clients on your own, pump up your self-presentation skills to the maximum.

What to do for a beginner

What to do for a beginner is a pretty correct question, albeit a trivial one. For those who do not know how to practically anything, but would like to earn money, it is recommended to start working in several directions at once:

• Study the creation of sites and slowly try to make them;
• Engage in small assignments or initial copywriting;
• Try to find an option for self-realization (study what is really interesting).

Each of the three directions contains a specific task. Building websites is a skill that is almost necessary for anyone who wants to start their own business on the Internet. Copywriting and performing small orders at the initial stages do not require special knowledge, but at the same time they can bring quite good income.

Finding a way to express yourself is working for the future. After all, everyone wants to do what they really like, and it also brings income.

The Internet, as well as real life, is a treasure trove of opportunities for doing what you like and getting paid for it.

The best job on the Internet will be the one in which you become a Specialist and which will bring you satisfaction from the process and from income.

Avoiding online scammers

Now to an unpleasant question. Let's talk about scammers who seek to cash in on freelancers. Since it is very difficult to find a real person on the Internet who sits on the other side of the monitor, many dishonest people decide to use it.

Popular fraud types:

• Test task without prepayment;
• Constant light work with high money;
• Leave data from your wallet or some other passwords;
• Distribution of malware.

These are all types of fraud that are common enough. Of course, every freelancer in his career has stories of scammers when greed took over and overcame vigilance. But, seriously speaking, the scammers are still visible from afar. They never agree to work on a prepaid basis, offer too good conditions and do everything to make you forget about money in the first minutes of a conversation.

The scheme for all scammers is approximately the same. Find a newbie freelancer - to interest him with some kind of proposal, or make him do the job, or find out the data under some convincing pretext, and then hide in an unknown direction. Such scammers are not afraid of anything, since in most cases you are unlikely to start writing a statement and make a fuss over 300-400 rubles.

It is easy to protect yourself from fraud: it is enough to carefully look at the proposals, work on a prepaid basis and trust only people with whom relations have been verified at least several months of joint work.

Working on the Internet without investment and deception is far from a myth. There are many professions in demand on the Internet, and in order to earn a lot, you will need to make several times less effort than in real life. Especially in Russia, where the segment of remote specialists is still very underdeveloped. In each of the directions there are several very large players, 10-20 medium-sized ones, and a lot of small ones that cannot boast of 100% quality. So while there is an opportunity - work on the Internet, get in-demand specialties and earn money without leaving your home.
