Some might find it hard to believe, but you can actually earn money from social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Various people and groups have taken to social media to express themselves (Gaurav Gera, Ssumier Pasricha, AIB, etc.) and have become celebrities on different social networks. You can choose to start with one social media platform, and then expand to other relevant networks once you or your brand become popular.

Finding freelance work is easy if you have good skillset. There are a number of websites that have small freelance tasks available for people with varying skills, which can pay anywhere between $5 and $100.
3. Start a blog
20 Sep, 2016
Blogging as a career has slowly but steadily picked up in India. There are full time bloggers who earn lakhs every month and are counted as influencers. What you need to keep in mind is that earning through blogging requires a lot of time and effort. It is also important to realise that your blog will not start earning money immediately. It can take more than a year of work before you start receiving any earnings. Once your blog starts getting enough visitors, you can get paid for advertisements, sponsored content and affiliate marketing.
4. Be a YouTube star

YouTube has become a major source of earnings for many people, owing to its reach and ease of use. You have to create YouTube channel, which works on a similar model as a blog—as you make your channel popular and the number of subscribers you have increases, your earning opportunities will also increase.
