Freelancing

Freelancing is very popular these days. Many clients are open to using freelancers for a variety of tasks.
Many dedicated platforms provide freelancing opportunities (like Upwork, Fiverr, FreeLancer etc)
Social networking can also provide you with opportunities.

Full-Time Job Position
You can look for a full-time work if you have a skill.
Full-time employment is extremely safe. You can rest assured that you will be compensated for your efforts.
It is a consistent source of revenue.
The stakes are also higher in terms of accountability.

Teaching
Teaching is the most effective way to learn.
Also, if you're secure in your abilities, don't be afraid to teach.
With the increased use of Zoom and Google Meet, teaching is no longer limited to the classroom.

Building Materials
You can turn your ideas into products if you have them.
After you've built your product, you may sell it.
You can ask people to subscribe to your service and pay you on a regular basis.
Software, a design template, or a chemical formula are examples of products.

Affiliating
Do you wish to assist others in growing their business? Join forces with them.
You will receive a portion of the product's price when the purchase is completed if you affiliate.
You can contact product vendors (Amazon is a best place)

writing Blogs and Books
Writing a blog and writing a book are both forms of writing. There are, however, others.
Many businesses require technical writers and copywriters. You can look for such opportunities if you are a skilled writer.

Books are still the most effective way to disseminate information.
It is always recommended to write a book if you believe you are exceptionally gifted in a particular field.
Your books can be sold on a variety of platforms. You can also publish them.

Courses on Video
To teach someone, you do not need to be physically present. How? By creating video courses and tutorials.
You can post paid video courses on many platforms (Example: Udemy, freeCodeCamp).

Mentoring
People require direction in order to move in the right direction. Many people are looking for a mentor.
You can mentor others if you have experience.
Social media is the best place for people to contact you for mentoring.

Promoting
You can promote other people's products/services if you have a large enough audience.
You can get promotion opportunities by reaching out to companies directly or by them reaching out to you.
It's always a good idea to advance based on your abilities.

Vlogging
You can share your experiences through the creation of short videos.
It's simple to monetize your videos if they become popular.

CONCLUSION

Earning a peanut is simple. However, I did not receive an Elephant.

Nothing is simple. There are numerous possibilities. However, in order to earn money, you must also work hard.
