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 2022.

Whether you’re looking for ways to make extra money online or on your PC, or heck — even your cellphone! Stick around, your 2022 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)
Task Rabbit

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 Shakespearean

. 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, am i right?

  • 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.

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.

In next post I will be talk on how make money using Upwork. Stay tuned✌️
