2. Print on demand
A print-on-demand job is one of the most paid online jobs you can run as a part time night job.
If you are cool with design, then you can make a full-time income with POD. You probably note that I didn’t use the word great. It’s because you don’t have to be a Davinci.
In fact, most people who make a full-time income with POD are not.
So how does it works?
- You upload your design to Teespring or Redbubbles.
- They display it on their products.
- You continue to earn almost half of the sales price in commission each time a product is sold.
To get started, I recommend watching a couple of youtube videos on POD. You can also follow Greg Gottfried’s videos on youtube.
3. Start a money-making blog
If you love sharing your ideas, then blogging is one of the best ways for you to earn passive income.
For example, I make money every minute with this blog. But I’m not on my desk all day staring at my PC like a Bush baby.
But how much can you earn?
How much you will earn is unlimited. The more visitors you get, the more your income grows.

5. Freelance writing jobs
If you don’t want to own a blog for yourself, but you still love to share your thoughts, then a freelance writing job may be your thing.
Some freelance writers earn up to $250 per article while others would earn just about $50 for the same article.
I know a couple of top earning writers, and here is what they do differently:
- They don’t short-change their skills by scrambling for $5 gigs.
- They prospect for companies on Linkedin, get contacts’ emails and pitch them directly.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t also bid for jobs on Freelance sites, especially if you are just starting out since they can help to build your portfolio.
