6. Reseller on Amazon

Reselling on Amazon means you sell what you don’t manufacture. If you want, you can source nearly anything from China or Vietnam and sell it at a markup.

44. Graphics design

With a considerable number of jobs online, a graphic designer is never without work. Visual content is needed for commercials, YouTube videos, video games, and endless other applications such as mobile apps and education.

A graphics designer has to know the use of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and have some training in the use of color theory.

51. Expert review site

If you are going to buy a DSLR for $600, you would most probably be heading to read a review by Ken Rockwell. If you want to buy a video game, it would be the GamesRadar.

Expert reviewers are well received because they are trustworthy. What are the requirements – sound domain knowledge and a track record of meticulous reporting.

52. Stock photography business

Websites need photos of everything from bungee jumpers to meteor showers. The biggest agency, Getty Images is worth a ton of money.

All that you have to do is buy photographs from amateur photographers and rent them out to website owners. Once the business is up and running, it manages itself being a subscription-based model.

53. Music producer & composer

Not all music composers work for Hollywood, or producers work for Beyonce. If you are musically inclined, there is a vast online market for tunes and jingles.

Tools such as SoundForge and provide comprehensive audio mixing and editing. However, you have to designate an area in your home as a studio.

54. Video production

58. T-shirt printing business

Custom t-shirts are the in thing. Schools, conventions, sales teams, even weddings, order custom t-shirts.

All you need is a t-shirt printing machine, and you are set to produce 400 pieces an hour.  You may provide design inputs to rise up the value chain. Of course, nothing stops you from also selling on Amazon or your own e-commerce store and kill two birds with one stone.

The best way to launch yourself as one is to upload instrumental cover versions on YouTube and add your website in the description.

68. Peer lending

Peer lending is getting to be big business. You have to create a finance company portal that matches borrowers with lenders.

69. Gaming

Gamers earn megabucks. They can work as professional gamers, test games, become influencers. The possibilities are endless, and most good gamers have huge fan following that they monetize in some way.

It is also one of the most fun ways of earning a living. Of course, you need a gaming console like PS4 to start off.

70. Online survey

This has got to be the easiest on the list. Sign up for surveys and fill them up with information. You could at ease complete 20-40 per day.

In return, you get paid handsomely. The only downside is that it is monotonous. Sites like Swagbucks would gladly send hundreds of surveys your way.

71. Interior Designer

Interior Designers no longer have to be physically present on site. Over the internet, you could design and specify the furniture, fixtures, color balance in detail.

Moreover, you could provide the vendors who provide the exact articles that you recommend. So you can earn from design and also earn a commission from vendors.

75. Make an Auctions Website

All modern day auctions happen  through the internet. The best example is eBay.

76. Travel Agent

The old fashioned travel agent is still needed, though in a brand new avatar. Start an online business that allows you to sell an airline, cruise ship tickets, and hotel bookings. Companies such as Expedia have enormous valuation.

Start small and focus on local travel. Gradually expand your reach countrywide and then globally through tie-ups.

78. Forum Owner

The forum owner earns by renting out ad space and promoting products through paid reviews.

79. Marriage Site

Sites such as Shaadi.com rake in millions. Open a website where couples can list their preferences about spouses and let them select each other based on filters – age, location, education, income.

You earn by charging for membership and also for specialized matchmaking services for high net worth clients.

80. Dating Site

Almost the same as above but promotes dating and friendship.  The biggest in the business is Match.com that owns a website and also the Tinder app.

You generate revenue by a freemium model. Free service is needed to get volume and premium services to provide extra features.

81. Create a private Facebook group

Anyone can create a Facebook group that is private (closed to outsiders and needs the permission of admin to join). The largest such groups have over a million members.

As the admin/owner of such a group, you earn hefty sums by product placement and allowing influencers to guest post.

82. Social shopping marketplace

At sites such as Shopcade.com and Etailone.com, consumers receive offers and not get to browse through a product catalog. They allow you to discover discounts and buy at a cheaper rate and also do not tie you down to one specific platform such as Amazon.

Social shopping is set to become the next big step in online retail and evolve as a buyers club.

83. Create and sell recipes

Cookery sites get a massive number of hits. Websites like Manjula’s Kitchen teaches you a variety of cuisines both from the subcontinent and abroad.

Having a YouTube channel helps to cross-promote the website. Also, presence on Facebook is a must. You earn through advertising and product placement of kitchen appliances, condiments and might even get your own TV show.

85. App review online

Newly launched apps fight in a crowded marketplace with hundreds of competitors. Naturally, just like music, app developers also look for the great feedback on Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

As a good review writer, you have to summarize what the app does and how it scores over rivals without mentioning them. Experience with the use of technology is a prerequisite.

86. Mechanical Turk

This job started with Amazon but now extends across a host of platforms. Mechanical Turks do those jobs that cannot be automated – such as writing product descriptions and answering FAQ.

The pay is between $2 and 7 per hour and adds up to a decent amount every month for a few hours of work.

87. Sponsored Posts

Sponsored Posts is an interesting way to earn money if you already own a website. Create a blog section if you don’t already have one and allow companies to place their posts.

You earn a decent amount by renting out space, and the business gets an authoritative backlink making it a win-win situation.

88. Systems Integrator

A systems integrator specializes in transforming the IT services that a company uses or adding new modules. An example would be someone who uses Tally moving to Quicken Desktop and discarding the one with the older system.

Otherwise, it could be adding a new option, such as adding net banking to payment options. A degree in software engineering is necessary to implement such changes.

89. Refer and Earn

New apps and websites are looking for customers and offer an amount for referral. You have to keep hunting for such apps and convince your friends and families to download them.

It also works with survey sites. For every referral, you make between $2 and $4.

A software or app is never perfect at first. They need to go through a bug testing process, and you could do it from home.

91. Statisticians for small business

Every business generates data. But most often, they do not know how to crunch that data for meaningful prediction.

92. Etiquette training

As global business opens up, businessmen traveling abroad from India and China are unsure of the etiquette. Should you refuse calls in the middle of a meeting, how to eat with chopsticks, what color suits are preferable – these are some popular questions that an etiquette tutor has to answer.

Tutoring happens over Skype, and you can market yourself through a website and social media.

93. Online internet security expert

Any small business owner is at a loss when it comes to issues such as ransomware. How exactly to protect a business by installing a firewall and configuring one is most confining though it comes free with Kaspersky and Norton.
