5 Profitable & In-Demand Skills You Can Learn For Free To Generate More Monthly Income

With the power of the Internet, it's not difficult to generate an extra $1000 to $2000 with your laptop every month. All you need is one of these monetizable skills:

1. Translating

Every week, you'll find assignments you can take up on freelancing sites like Freelancer or Upwork, or even Facebook.

There are many forms of media you can translate - websites, brochures, videos, etc.

One of the best sites to learn another language is duolingo.com

2. Coding

There are over 50 websites online where you can potentially land coding gigs like toptal.com, turing.com and flexjobs.com. I personally ventured into coding, even though I hate it to the point of self torture, because it's where billionaires are made.

Out of all the websites and online courses I've used, this is one of the best - https://www.codecademy.com/

3. Copywriting

This is my favourite skill of all - it has the greatest demand and pays very handsomely. I've made 5 figure monthly income working from home or in my hotel resort villa in Thailand, enjoying the beautiful ocean view, lounge music and my favourite Chinese tea.

Essentially copywriting is selling in print - influencing someone to become a lead, sale or follower. All business need to do marketing, yet most of them have very average and dull content that generates mediocre results. Get them to see the value of engaging a copywriter by experiencing more conversions (example - previously they generated 50 leads on their website by spending $1000, with copywriting they can generate 100 leads with the same ad-spend).

There are thousands of gigs online, but everyone who owns a website or social media page is your potential customer. If you possess this skill, you can rewrite ads, emails, website pages and send them to the owner; creating endless opportunities for you to land paid work.

4. SEO & Analytics

From experience, a lot of companies would rather hire someone to set up their Google presence than do it themselves. Some have tried figuring it out themselves, gotten lost and ended up paying a professional $75 to $100 an hour to do it for them.

This is a fairly easy thing to do, provided you have the skill.

I recommend this free resource taught personally by Google themselves: https://analytics.google.com/analytics/academy/

5. Chatbot Creation

As technology advances, consumers are getting used to faster reaction time, and lesser waiting. Gone are the days where a prospect would send in an enquiry and wait for hours or days to get a response. They'll just hop over to a competitor.

If businesses are not deploying a chatbot on their website and Facebook page, they're leaving serious money on the table.

Mobile Monkey is one of the best chatbot software in the market and it has an extensive content library to help anyone get started. Check it out - https://mobilemonkey.com/chatbot-tutorial
