Rule No 1: Keep pushing, don't stop. You will surely earn money. All of them can be done by just sitting at home, no need to go anywhere everything is remote.

1. Freelancer

The best way and I make like somewhere around 2 Lakhs Gifted myself a Laptop and a Phone in 2 years. I am basically a Freelance Video Editor. I started my journey with a client of 80Rs. per reel and right now I am Charging 500-1500 Per reel according to difficulty level of the content. I am mastering this skill right now too. I work around 1-2 Hours daily and Max 5-6 Hours a week and easily make 5-6k Per month. So, according to me it's a one of best thing you can do. 

Every person has some different skill you can choose your own skill and keep mastering it. I will share a full guide how you can earn as a freelancer. 

2. YouTube

This takes time but in my opinion it is worth it. That's why i am shifting from Instagram to YouTube. Instagram gives you the Reach, but people only give money if you have good reach and they sponsor to show their products, but dark reality of Instagram is this that they sell products which makes money for themselves only and fool innocent people. Whereas YouTube Gives you money for what you make and your audience is loyal and way far better than the Instagram. That's why in 2026 i am building my YouTube Channel.

3. Blogger.Com

It also makes money, but you have to be consistent. Blogger takes lots of time and effort, more as a hobby you can do. If you like to share some meaningful information to the people Blogger is a great choice. You can Make any of the content like Poem, Thoughts, Wishes etc. Whatever you like. But just be consistent. 

Select a Niche and keep on writing until you reach your goal.

4. Affiliate Marketing

So, here you have to sell products by sharing the links for each product someone buys from your link you get some money. Its good if you built a network and sell products to the people. It gives you reward and refer to earn kind of earning. Its legit and good. This is not a Scam. You can get this from good websites like Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Many more.

5. Make Something that you can sell (Toughest of all)

Here you can create something which you can sell. It can be service or like creating an App or Automation which you can sell to people who needs it. You can even sell some of the Templates or Pre-defined formats of Excel sheet or Presentation. You can even create many things like some Products accordingly or You can even sell 3D print. Some of these requires initial funding from your side. That's why I have kept it on 5th Rank. My Friend used to create and sell the hand drawn paintings. Also, one of my friends is selling books and Clothes too. So, this is a broad market, but you have to do hard work for it. Only then you can earn something.
