If you do not have or do not want to create a blog or a website (although anyone without technical knowledge can do it today), another way to get a handful of euros online is by doing small online services.
The operation is very simple:
You register in any of the online platforms that put you in contact with potential clients
Publish your service and put a price
You wait to be hired
The jobs that are usually offered on these platforms are simple things, such as translating a text, editing a video, designing a logo, writing a resume or preparing a PowerPoint presentation.
There is even someone who offers to write irresistible Tinder profiles, your imagination is the limit!
Your income will depend on the amount of hours and effort you can spend on a regular basis. Some people take out a whole salary or even several thousand euros a month, but it will generally be useful if you need extra income.
Currently, the most popular platforms and therefore with the greatest capacity to bring you clients are Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancer:
Upwork: it's only in English, but if you master it, it has enormous potential because of the number of clients it has.
Fiverr: is in Spanish and has many clients demanding services, but prices are low.
Freelancer: is in Spanish, but has less client volume and is not as easy to use.
All tend to stay around 10% of your billing and are based on the reviews of your customers to increase or reduce your popularity. The better your reputation, the more attractive you will be to users interested in services like yours.

That is why the usual thing is to get few jobs at the beginning or have to offer them at a lower price, but little by little you will have more clients and you will be able to raise your prices.

5. Work as a virtual assistant

The virtual assistant is one of the new professions that has brought with it the technological revolution of the Internet, and whose demand is expected to continue growing in the coming years.
If you find it interesting to make money offering online services and want to ensure greater regularity and a more stable income, you can consider working as a virtual assistant.
The virtual assistant is one of the new professions that has brought with it the technological revolution of the Internet, and whose demand is expected to continue growing in the coming years.
It basically consists of giving distance support to bloggers, digital entrepreneurs or even companies in relatively simple or mechanical tasks, so it does not require too specialized skills.
It is not a passive system, but in return it offers you the freedom to work from wherever you want, a pretty attractive salary and also avoids having to create a web. You could literally start working as a virtual assistant tomorrow.
A virtual assistant usually deals with the following tasks:
Email management
Diffusion of content in social networks
Management and organization of the agenda
Management of billing and income and expense reports
Design of images and banners
Management of communities in Facebook groups
Writing newsletters, pages and articles
Video and / or podcast editing
Support in online courses and webinars
Survey analysis and readers' feedback
Organization of face-to-face events
The key here is in the confidence that you can earn from your client, since then he will be delegating tasks of greater responsibility in you.
The fees of a virtual assistant are usually established according to a price per hour that usually ranges from 10 to 40 euros per hour worked, although some specialized or highly reputable assistants can get to charge a lot more.
If you want to take the step as a virtual assistant, there are three ways to get your first clients:
Contact directly with entrepreneurs, bloggers or small businesses and present your services. Try to provide a sample of your work so that they can check the quality of your services.
Be attentive to the requests of virtual assistants that make their subscribers the bloggers that start to stand out.
Enroll in Freelancer, People Per Hour, Workana or Upwork, because many entrepreneurs are looking for virtual assistants there. If you are satisfied, then you can propose a long-term collaboration.
You do not need to create a website or build an audience
Does not require any specific skills, only responsibility and good management skills
You can do it from home and part time
At first, your income will not be very high
It can be monotonous or unrewarding

6. Works as a copywriter
Generating content that attracts and trusts readers is a fundamental pillar of any digital strategy, and that is well known by both large companies and small entrepreneurs.
That's why every day more than 3 million articles are published in blogs. There are posts on economics, animals, photography, food, health, marketing, videogames, philosophy, politics ... Anything you can imagine.
This need to create content has led to the emergence of another professional profile that is in great demand in the online world: the editor.
Working as an editor is a very quick way to start making money online, since there is a constant demand. Neither do you need great skills to do it: you just have to like to write and be good at doing it.
How much money can an editor earn?
It depends on your experience, the quality of the texts and your specialty, but in general the rates usually move between 3 and 10 euros per 100 words, so that a 2,000-word article can be paid perfectly to more than 100 euros.
I have been working with editors for my affiliate projects for years and several of them, working full-time, generate monthly income above 2,000 euros. But some can earn much more!
Editors specialized in creating sales pages tend to be the best paid, since they are in charge of creating those messages that must convince people to buy. They have come to pay thousands of euros for a page of this type.
If you are interested in starting to work on a path (and income) as an editor, I recommend that you register on specialized platforms to contact editors with clients who need content, such as:
iWriter: one of the most popular. It does not pay too well, but it makes up for it with the number of customers who need content.
LowPost: pay something better and have a decent client volume.
Textbroker: allows you to negotiate the price directly with customers, but you will not find much demand.
You just need to know how to write well (and what you like)
You can start earning money today with the copywriters' platforms
If you're good and you try hard, the long-term income potential is high
There is increasing competition and it is difficult to highlight
As the offer of editors increases, the rates are going down
It is not a passive income at all
7. Translate contents
If you consider that you lack creativity or you prefer something more mechanical than working as an editor, and you have a good level with some language, you can make your knowledge profitable by performing online translation services.
There are many companies that need to translate texts from their blogs, websites or posts on social networks and that are looking for natives to do that work. In addition, it is usually quite well paid.
In fact, at the time Netflix opened some applications to find people to translate their series online through its Hermes program.
In the case of the translation from English into Spanish, they came to pay $ 12 per minute translated, it's not bad!
Netflix translation rates
Now they no longer require this service, but there are also online platforms that put translators in contact with companies that need translation services, such as Gengo.
Gengo is an online platform that has provided translation services to YouTube or Sony, among others. You only have to register on your website and pass your level test. From there, you will go up in rank and accessing better paid jobs as you translate.
The great advantage of Gengo is that you can choose what jobs you do and organize the schedules to your liking, which gives you enormous flexibility to earn money from anywhere.
Other interesting options are One Hour Translation (they also ask for a level test) or Textmaster.
And now the key question: how much money per month can be earned by translating?
Well, according to the calculations of Gengo itself, if you regularly translate from other languages into Spanish, you will achieve an average monthly income of $ 435.

It's a good extra, but it's not going to give you a full salary either. The great advantage is that you can do it from anywhere in the world, it does not force you to anything and you can go at the pace you need.
