With the advent of the Internet, our lives have changed dramatically. Almost everything can now be done online. Over time, people have started to consider the possibility of earning money through the World Wide Web. New professions have emerged, and some have transitioned from offline to online. However, before deciding to become a freelancer, it is important to know the peculiarities and pitfalls of your future work.
One particular aspect worth paying attention to is network marketing. Here's how it works: you buy discounted products for yourself, sell them to your friends, and earn a commission. The person above you in the hierarchy receives a higher percentage, and this continues up the chain. The higher you climb, the more you earn.
However, since network marketing moved to the Internet, selling has become more challenging. It's difficult to sell without seeing the buyer, and the commission from sales is very small. You are constantly encouraged to buy discounted products yourself. As a result, you become a buyer rather than a seller and end up spending money instead of earning it. Nevertheless, it is still possible to make money in network marketing if you have a large number of followers on social media and strong willpower.
In contrast, trading relies solely on your knowledge rather than the number of friends you have. People are increasingly investing in stocks, exchanges, and deposits. As demand always creates supply, more and more companies are emerging every day that are willing to provide quality service and bonuses just to get you to deposit money. Yes, unlike a deposit, the earning potential is significantly higher, which attracts those who seek easy money. However, such opportunities rarely exist. Whatever you do, you always need to have a wealth of knowledge and avoid entrusting your finances to strangers.
While trading requires knowledge, there are professions that don't require any at all. You have probably seen advertisements saying, "Take a survey and get a certain amount of money." Here's how it works: you complete a short survey, and then they tell you that you have won money, but in order to receive it, you need to link your bank card or send a small amount (compared to what you have won). You send the amount, but naturally, you never receive your winnings.
At first glance, it may seem obvious not to trust such offers, but there are websites that genuinely pay for surveys. However, they usually pay only $0.02 to $0.5 per survey, and it takes an average of 20 minutes to complete one. You can earn a little, but at least it's honest.
Earning money online is possible, and sometimes you can make substantial amounts with experience and knowledge. Any labor should be rewarded, but if you have to pay for your own work, it is likely that you should not trust such a job.
