If you’re like me — a tech savvy individual (that also happens to be a software engineer) or just a casual technology user, then I’m sure you’ve had this very same question wandering your mind countless times; How do I make money online? or better yet, how do I make money with my PC or Mac?

Well, you’re in luck! Today, I will be running down a list of the top 5 easiest ways to make money using your computer. Maybe we’ll do a top 10 in the future? For now it’s top 5 tips for 2023.

Whether you’re looking for ways to make extra money online or on your PC, or heck — even your cellphone! Stick around, your 2023 is about to get a whole lot better.

1. Leveraging the gig economy

There are tons of websites out on the internet that provide you the opportunity to earn some extra money — using skills that you already possess and equipment you may already own.

I’m talking about the gig economy here. It’s a great way for people to make money and earn a steady and passive income — all in the comfort of your own home. These sites only require that you sign up, with some offering premium subscriptions to boost sales and grant access to features like bidding on more proposals.

Some of these include

Freelancer

Upwork

Fiverr (⭐ my personal favorite)

TaskRabbit

2. MINEPRIZE

Another great way of making money online is through MINEPRIZE. And the best part? You don’t even have to do anything! On here, you allow MINEPRIZE to use your idle CPU power to run complex tasks and you get paid by loaning your resources out.

With MINEPRIZE, the registration is entirely free, and all you need is your email address and password to sign up. After you sign up, you’ll be asked to load a specific page, let MINEPRIZE use your resources, and let the money roll in! You can earn as much as $100 a month by leaving your computer to run some calculations. How crazy is that?

3. Writing

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”. Alright, alright, I admit, not all writing is Shakespearian. But you’ll definitely need some strong lingual skills to be able to qualify as a copywriter. Luckily it’s not like in the olden days, using typewriters, amiright?

But seriously though, there’s a chance you’ll make some really good dough (👏 3 claps for the rhyme) writing as a skill.

Here are just some of the ways you’d be able to get some moola typing away on your fancy keyboard or whatever:

Start a blog

Self-Publish a book

Create affiliate content

Write scripts for video creators

Create written content for social media

Peer check books

Help with marketing content

Phew, that was a list in a list!

4. Coding

That’s right kids. If you understand this

print("hello world");

to some degree, you’ve probably done some coding before. Coding, programming or developing, as some may call it, would stand the test of time (at least for now) to be one of the most lucrative ways to earn extra money, or even as your main source of income.

There are plenty of resources out there that use low-code/no-code to build you an app or website, and then of course, there are the hardcode coders (like me) that write everything line by line, binary di — okay fine, that last part is definitely over exaggerating a bit.

But on a more serious note, you can make money writing websites, apps, making cloud platforms, or using low code or no code platforms.

Here are some low code platforms

AppSheet : mobile apps from spreadsheets :

Loading... We're setting up your new app... No-Code Anyone on your team can make apps and automate processes Agile…

Low-code platform | Custom application creator for your business - Zoho Creator

Pretty cool, right?

5. Content Creation

The internet has gifted us many platforms that we can leverage to gain unfathomable wealth and extra money out of this world — if we use them correctly. This one’s a bit tougher than the rest, though. It requires a LOT of upfront time investment, unlike some of the other items on this list.

I’m talking about platforms like YouTube, or writing your own blog using Medium. It’s an incredible way to generate an income — both passive and active. YouTube, for one, have birthed many millionaires with the likes of Jake- and Logan Paul, PewDiePie (a.k.a. Felix Kjellberg) in the last decade and a half of it’s existence, and it’s never too late. New YouTubers are always on the rise, making it to the top with high quality content.

— Here’s the remaining 5 items!

6. NFTs and Cryptocurrency

NFTs and Cryptocurrency exchanges have become one of the fastest ways to amass some great deal of money through the owning and selling of digital assets. Binance’s Initial Game Offer promises great rewards for those who invest early and yield the best results.

One game that’s pretty awesome (and that’s had a piece of it’s plot essentially sold for at US$7.2 million! That’s crazy!) is Axie Infinity. It’s downloadable via the Google and Apple stores, and it’s free!

7. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is an advertising model in which a company pays others (e.g., bloggers) to advertise their products and services and generate sales. Here, I’ll use an example. I write a blog (like this one) and I post a link to an item I’d recommend buying — say, a camera — through Amazon’s Affiliate Program, and if you end up buying said camera, I’d get a portion of the sale as commission!

Here are some high paying programs:

Elementor

AWeber

Sendinblue

ConvertKit

Leadpages

GetResponse

SEMRush

Fiverr

Pabbly

8. Create a blog

Now folks, if you’re an avid writer, or you are just really passionate about a specific thing or niche, then, as an expression, blogging could potentially monetize said passion!

Think of something — anything — and start a blog on that. Heck, you can even start right here on Medium like I did!

9. Try Drop-shipping

And I do mean this in the best way possible — drop shopping is stupidly easy to set up, but would, for some, be quite challenging to keep the ball rolling.

Luckily, Shopify has made it incredibly easy to create and run an online store. Drop-shipping from China’s biggest, like AliExpress and DHGate are quite common. But if you can manage to score a local distributer that’s willing to let you drop ship their product — you’ve got a winner!

10. Set up an Online Course

If you have a skill, and you can articulate said skill, then look no further than online education.

Online education, with the likes of Skillshare, Pluralsight and Coursera have made inroads in the last couple of years, upskilling individuals from courses that YOU can create and earn from.

There are numerous of ways to earn money in the cryptocurrency space, including, long-term investments, day-trading, arbitrage etc. A little known fact (especially for newcomers), is that certain cryptocurrencies allow you to earn a passive income; merely money that you earn without doing much to earn it. In this post, I will highlight 3 cryptocurrencies that allow you to do exactly this. Before proceeding, I’d like to quote Warren Buffett — “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die”.

NEO

I truly believe NEO’s future is very bright, as featured in my 3 Coins to Watch in 2018 blog post, which you can find here. NEO has been going from strength to strength and has been holding exceptionally well during this market turmoil.

NEO uses a consensus mechanism called Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance (dBFT).

… It is a consensus mechanism that enables large-scale participation in consensus through proxy voting. The holder of the NEO token can, by voting, pick the bookkeeper it supports. The selected group of bookkeepers, through the BFT algorithm, reach a consensus and generate new blocks. In dBFT, 2/3 of all bookkeepers will agree on what goes in each block.

You can find more information on dBFT, what bookkeepers do, etc. here.

In essence, NEO acts like a share and by owning it, you own a part of the blockchain. Additionally, by owning and holding NEO, you passively earn GAS; the token used as fuel on the NEO blockchain. For example, GAS is used to deploy smart contracts, vote on the network, etc.

In order to earn GAS, you simply need to hold NEO in your wallet and GAS will accumulate over time. There is very little effort involved on your part. Holding it in exchanges will not yield you GAS, with the exception of Binance and KuCoin. To get an idea of how much GAS you generate, based on how many NEO you hold, click here.

You can purchase NEO and GAS on Binance, Gate.io, KuCoin and many others.

VeChain Thor (VET)

Although still a work in progress, I couldn’t ignore VeChain Thor (VeChain’s pivot & re-branding); a project that has been making waves in the space as of late. VeChain Thor is going to move beyond the supply chain, and into Enterprise Decentralized Application (dApp) solutions. I will not discuss how VeChain currently works, but will focus on VeChain Thor.

VeChain Thor will introduce two new tokens:

VeChain Tokens (VET) will act as the smart payment currency in order to enable rapid value circulation within the ecosystem based on the VeChain Blockchain. VET represents the right and privilege to occupy and use the public blockchain resources. The more VET one holds, the more rights and higher priority they have (to use the blockchain).

THOR Power (THOR) will be the fuel on the blockchain and will be consumed/burnt after certain operations are performed, such as transferring VET or executing smart contracts.

The VeChain Blockchain will be secured by 4 different types of nodes. There are some minimum requirements in order to become a node. Node types are determined by the amount of VET they hold and maturity date. You can find more details here.

All VET holders (regardless if they are a node) will passively earn THOR by holding VET in their wallets. Nodes (which inherently hold more VET), as a reward for securing the network, will have a higher percentage of THOR paid out to them.

To see how much THOR you could be passively earning, based on how many VET you hold, click here.

VeChain (VEN), the predecessor of VET, can be purchased on Binance, Gate.io, COSS and many others.

ARK

ARK uses a consensus mechanism called Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS). This mechanism requires coin holders to vote for delegates, who are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the blockchain. It is quite similar to dBFT with the major difference that in DPoS only one delegate verifies the block, whereas in dBFT, 2/3 of the bookkeepers have to reach a consensus and generate new blocks. You can find more details about DPoS and delegates, here.

As with the previous two cryptocurrencies, there is very little effort required to passively earn ARK. The steps are pretty simple — set up an ARK account and cast your delegate vote. You will then receive a payout through the delegate as a reward for voting for them. A detailed tutorial on how to vote for a delegate can be found here. To get an idea how much you could be passively earning by voting for delegates, click here.

ARK can be purchased on Binance, Bittrex, COSS and some others.

As you may have noticed from the title, this is just the first part. There are a few more cryptocurrencies, which I would like to write about. I will be discussing these in an upcoming post, which should be landing sometime in the next couple of weeks; so keep an eye out if you are interested in finding out more.

Edit: Find Part 2 “3 Cryptocurrencies To Earn You Money While You Sleep” of here.
