It is possible, and a lot. It all depends on your abilities and aspirations. You can also lose money if you work without a contract, trust scammers, or invest in a scam.
The Internet is not a magical place where money is handed out. Nobody thinks about you getting rich. Don’t look for a way to earn income just by sitting in front of a screen: it doesn’t exist.
You can’t make a living doing monotonous tasks, advertising pyramid schemes, and writing hundreds of fake reviews a day. Even if you achieve payment, you will still receive less than at any official job.
In general, if we ignore scammers and hackers, these are the guys who make money on the Internet.
Entrepreneurs. They sell goods or provide services. They resell Chinese toys, create online stores, teach English on Skype or conduct drawing courses. The method of earning money depends on the experience of the entrepreneur and investments in the business. You can buy Chinese watches for 100 thousand, and earn a million on them – and vice versa.
Remote employees. They are on the company’s staff, but perform their duties via the Internet. This is how programmers, designers and editors usually work. But in practice, any office job is suitable for remote work. For example, mothers on maternity leave and students with no experience can get a job in a remote call center. Salary depends on the position and ranges from 5 to 500 thousand rubles.
Freelancers. Unlike regular employees, freelancers do not work for one company, but fulfill orders via the Internet for different clients. They receive money separately for each completed project.
Information businessmen and bloggers. They write texts, shoot videos, entertain subscribers. They sell advertising and their courses: depending on the blogger and his conscience, they will either be about successful success, or about something useful and practical. Unfortunately, the former earn more than the latter.
