(Newswire.net — December 15, 2016) — Most of us want to make extra money, but that can be hard in today’s economy. All you have to do is turn on the news to hear about how hard it is to find work, in many different industries all over the country. But what if you were to learn that it’s not that jobs aren’t available, it’s that you are looking in the wrong place for extra income? In today’s gig economy, people are equaling and even exceeding the income they used to make from a traditional job. If you are willing to look, and draw upon skills you already possess, you might be surprised at how easy it is to make extra money.
If you are an adult and you can read this page, you probably already have some ability that you can trade for money. The digital world that takes up so much of our time today makes this a lot easier. One of the best ways to do this is to do a survey of work that you are already able to do, then find people who are seeking bids on contracts for small jobs to do that thing. This is very easy to do on the internet. Sites like Upwork and Targetwriters bring together lots of potential jobs for people all over the world. The only qualifications are the ability to write a convincing proposal and to deliver on your promise. Jobs are available for freelancers who do web design, voice acting, translation, transcription, and so much more.
Another way you can make extra income in the digital age is to leverage knowledge and insight you already possess. This is done most effectively in two arenas: sports betting and binary options trading. Fantasy sports contests result in big winnings for people who know how to anticipate wins and losses, based on their intimate knowledge of the game and the teams involved. People who know a lot about sports are often able to anticipate the outcome of games more than 50% of the time. All bets being equal, this level of accuracy will make an individual money in the long term and is a great way to supplement income in the digital age.
Binary options trading operates similarly. With binary, a user is offered a bunch of different financial options, including currencies, commodities, stocks, and others. All the user has to do is guess whether the price of the good in question will rise or fall by the end of a set time period. If the user gets it right, he or she will receive a commission on the contract. If the user gets it wrong, he or she will lose the money invested. Again, it’s all about how much you know about the things you’re betting on. If you have a lot of industry knowledge, you can correctly guess the way prices will change more often than not and make a lot of money quickly.
There are lots of ways to make money, but the internet makes it easier to find methods that are tailor made to you personally. Spend time looking and you’ll find good options for you.
