How to make money with your PC
That computer on your desk isn’t just for browsing the internet or doing your banking. It’s a tool that could make you richer. In some cases, you may even be able to supplement your income without doing anything bar leaving your machine on. Sounds good, right?
In this article, we’ve picked out our top six ways to make a bit of extra cash with your PC. Some are more involved than others – and none, unless you’re very lucky, are going to make you rich overnight – but a little motivation and spare time can go a long way.
You might even change the way you think about saving and investing, particularly considering making a low-risk loan could offer you returns far beyond those of a regular savings account. Read on, and enjoy the extra change in your pocket.
1. Sell your skills
Got a talent? Get it out there. Whether you’re a dab hand at tech support, an expert designer, a skilled writer or anything in between, social media and online classifieds are a great way to get yourself noticed, and your PC will often be everything you need for the job. With the aid of software like TeamViewer, many tech support tasks are trivial – obviously, basically every creative pursuit has moved towards the computer desktop.
Taking tech support as an example, start by putting your name out on localised sites like Gumtree or Craigslist to potentially attract geographically reasonable clients; it’s the modern equivalent of putting a card in the newsagent’s window.
Then set yourself up with a page on Facebook – professionalism is key here – and make sure your friends, family and colleagues like and share your presence. Word of mouth still has a vast amount of value, particularly when it comes to trust.
When you’re established, there are plenty of ways to get paid, from a PayPal account to services like Square which also deal with invoices and receipts for you. Whatever you choose, bear in mind you’ll be liable for tax on anything you earn.
