YOGYAKARTA - Does your thinning bank account have an impact on your health? The American Psychological Association (WHO) released a survey showing that money pressure has an impact on the health of Americans nationally. And, it turns out, the rich are also under pressure about money, not only those in low-income households. It's the same in Indonesia. Then is there any way to earn additional income?

You can get rid of some of that financial pressure by getting additional income, even if you have a full-time job. Steve Chou of MyWifeQuitHerJob is famous for starting two six-digit businesses while continuing to work at work.

Whether you're looking for cash to launch your startup or make a new investment, or get out of accumulating debt, a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month can change your life. Here are some additional income ideas for you to start with.

Build a side business

There are a lot of ideas for a profitable side business that you can easily start from the comfort of your own home. While starting out is easy, actually doing work to market and develop the business is a little more challenging. A difficult part is seeing them through.

While you can launch a regular business that sells other people's products, you can also find your own products.

Selling services at Fiverr

Fiverr has grown significantly since the start. Today, it's a wide market for freelance work where you can sell almost any service under the sun. It's great if you want to make money online as a digital traveler or even while sitting at home on a laptop while wearing your shirt.

What, in particular, can you sell on Fiverr? Anything from graphics and design services, to digital marketing, freelance writing and translation services, video and animation services, music and audio, application programming and development, business services, and lifestyle services that include anything from celebrity shows to games.

Online guidance

Web sites such as Skoli, Tutor Me, and Tutor.com provide resources to enter online tutoring rooms. While you don't need to use platforms like this, they provide lower friction entry points to the market. You can also look for online tutoring shows on various other sites such as Upwork, Freelancer, and more.

What things can you teach in online courses? You can easily teach subjects such as math or science, while also teaching languages such as English online courses if you are bilingual. You can also teach musical instruments such as guitar or piano, along with many other subject matter.

Become a virtual assistant

One of the easy ways to get money from home is to help others complete their duties as virtual assistants. If you are so organized and able to manage your time well, becoming a virtual assistant presents an easy entry point into the digital service industry. You can easily carry out this function with remote work wherever you live.

Finding remote work as a virtual assistant can easily be done through sites such as Upwork, Indexed.com, and Remote.co. Look for existing job vacancies and make offers. You need effective communication skills and English-speaking efficacy as well as popular web and business software applications.

Selling goods on eBay or Craigslist

Most of our society earns full-time income by selling goods on Craigslist and eBay. You can do this by selling your own stuff, or you can help sell stuff for other people and take small commissions. Selling on eBay offers more friction than Craigslist and you should make solid reviews before you can start moving expensive items.

However, eBay does provide resources for sellers to help you adjust to sales on the platform. Take the time to do the platform's due diligence and thoroughness. If you have solid online marketing skills, you'll find this much easier than if you're really a beginner in the world of digital marketing.

Cryptocurrency trading

Along with the development of the digital world, so is our currency. What seems like yesterday's new thing will eventually be a medium of choice to earn a lot of money. Polls found that 10 percent of people claimed to use cash as their preferred payment method in 2016 (down from 19 percent in 2011).

While cryptocurrencies are still relatively new, they will eventually become standard. Bitcoin and Ethereum may be the main cryptocurrency platforms today, but the US Dollars will eventually become Digital Dollars by leveraging blockchain. You can take advantage of today's cryptocurrency booms by trading them through platforms like eToro and Kraken, among many others.

Social media management

Social media management is a great way to generate revenue from home. Considering the expansion of social media, businesses demand to find their way ahead of prospects. However, most businesses have no clue about how they can increase their exposure. That's where you come in.

Building a social media management business may require effort and time, but it is invaluable. You can charge a sizeable monthly fee for each business to help manage their social media, allowing you to earn full-time earnings by performing this show.

Marketing of affiliates

Marketing affiliates present a very low entry of friction for selling products online. While you do need several types of audiences to sell these products or services, you can make a lot of money from home while doing so. Some products or services have very high earnings per click. That is, if you play the card properly, you can easily benefit greatly from the conversion by directing traffic to specific offerings as long as you target the right interests.

You can find affiliate marketing offers on sites like ClickBank, Shopee Afiliator, and Rakuten LinkShare, among many others. Look for the right offer and make sure you present it to the right audience and don't spam someone else about it. Do your marketing ethically.
