Best Ways to Make Money from Home Onlinein India 2022

#1. Become Freelance Content Writer

Depending on the writing level, a freelance content writer earns $0.03 to $0.30 per word for the U.S. and Rs. 0.50 to Rs. 5 per word for India-based assignments.

As a beginner, you can start with lower prices andas you gain experience you could build a portfolio to showcase your writing expertise and charge high prices.

#2. Start a Blog

If you want to earn a good amount of money in the long run, then you can start your own blog. Although it takes time to build a successful blog, once you hit the threshold you can even earn $10,000 per month easily. Surprising, isn’t it?

#3. Freelance Proofreading & Editing Work

If you are good at english, you can pick online proofreading and editing work. You can find assignments and charge either on a per word basis or on an article basis.

But I recommend you to get out of the mindset of a per word basis and start chargingfor every article you proofread or edited right from the beginning.

Starting at Rs. 100 per article and proofread 10 articles per day, you would easily earn Rs. 1000 per day. That is Rs. 30,000 in a month.

Slowly, after gaining experience you may increase the price per article to Rs. 150. This will help you earn a monthly Rs. 45,000.

Exciting, isn’t it? No English teacher or English BA/MA earns this much in India and that too from the comfort of home.
