Most of us need extra income either you're a student or an adult either a housewife/ househusband or someone with a day job that is why I decided to write some online jobs that can help you financially with their pros and cons.

1. Survey Jobs Pros: You can easily apply to this type of job. No need to send in resumes and wait for a call back, you just need an internet and an email and that's it. This is good for students who needs an extra savings. Cons: Since this is a paypal-based, you need at least 20-25 USD for you to withdraw your money and one survey costs around 1 USD to 3.50 USD (based on experience) depending on the length of the survey and also, the frequency of the survey invitations are really low.

2. Website Tester Pros: It pays fairly well depending on the company that you applied to; UserTesting pays 10 USD to 20 USD for a 15-20 mins website while others pay around 3 USD to 7 USD.

Cons: You have to submit a sample test to the company and wait for their approval/rejection and there are a lot of factors to consider such as: a quiet and distraction-free place, a good headset, and you being vocal and subjective. Also, you get ratings for your job so if the customers does not like how you review their websites, you might attract lesser customers.

3. Data Entry Operator/Clerk This is basically a typist job. Pros: Some companies offer this position as a home-based job and only requires you to do it for 3-4 hours a day. It pays well depending on the company but as far as I know, they either pay you hourly or how many forms you accomplish properly.


Cons: You won't get paid on the form if you make a mistake. 4. Proofreading and editing Pros: It pays well. Some companies pay you with a fixed salary while some, pay you with the amount of work you did. It is easy to get training for this.

Cons: Some companies require you to take an exam for this. 5. English Tutor Pros: It pays REALLY WELL and also, once accepted the company will be the one to give you the module for the lectures. You will also teach one-on-one.

Cons: Some companies require you to take an exam or a sample tutoring for this. Also, it might take too much of your time since, of course every student is different and of course, as a teacher you need to adjust and plan how you will discuss it to your student.

6. Translator This is good for those who are fluent with another language.


Pros: The pay is a bit higher than being an english tutor especially if you're part of a company that translates manga from japanese to english.

Cons: This takes a lot of time and like any other jobs, it is strict on deadlines.

7. Voice-over

Pros: The pay is a good and the company will give you the script for you to record. You don't really need to know another language except for English and your native tongue.

Cons: You have to invest on a good microphone and also, you should have a clear and modulated voice and companies would require you to send a sample of your recording for evaluation.

8. Blogging/ Vlogging Almost everyone is going into this

Pros: You can get sponsors to pay you to endorse their products, also, both blogging and vlogging uses ads so that you can get paid every time someone sees that ad on your page. If you have around 100,000 followers and viewers you can get a hell lot of money from being a youtuber.


Cons: This will take a lot of time for you to reach the number of your target number of audience and also, not all are successful in this field. You have to invest a lot of time because you have to think of your content, the execution, the editing, and of course, the promotion of your content. Also, for those who wants to venture into vlogging, you usually need to have a good camera for a quality video.
