For those images with small print, right click and choose open in a new tab.
Hi Folks
I published a blog recently in answer to new member's asking me how they could earn an income from the internet. It seems not enough of them actually read it because I'm still getting asked those self same questions again and again. perhaps I will have more luck with this blog.
Taking the blog header above. What you need is your own portable means of income that will give you the flexibility and freedom to work anytime, anywhere.
So what businesses are most suitable for this type of mobile work? There are more than you think. Take a look at the list below and see if any spark your interest then use the links to investigate further and see what's possible.
(I've mentioned this first one before in another blog, but its related to the content of this blog)
1. Virtual Assistant
Take your administrative skills worldwide! Who says that you have to work for one boss in the same company? Anyone with office and computer skills could set up as a VA from their home. Using modern technology your clients can be based anywhere.

2. Online Tutor
Online tutors or e-tutors guide students through an internet learning experience. If you have a teaching background, why not create courses that can be delivered electronically via email, online tutorials or audio/video conferencing, as well as telephone conference calls.
3. Personal or Business Coach
Coaching is a profession you can do part time, full time, in addition to another job. Most coaching is conducted via the phone and email, and with the many low cost phone packages available, it is becoming increasingly easier to run this type of business from any location.

4. Writer / Travel Writer
Writing is perhaps the ultimate portable business. With your laptop and your imagination, you could write whenever or wherever you happen to be. Why not become a Travel Writer and turn your travel adventures into a book, or write articles for magazines about your experiences.

5. Newsletter Publisher
Package your knowledge in a newsletter, distribute it electronically and charge a subscription fee to people interested in your subject. The thirst for knowledge knows no boundaries. This works perfectly well as an electronic newsletter as well as via postal mail.
6. Stock Market Trading
This doesn’t have to be for the elite or financially well-versed anymore. Keep abreast of market trends and stock performance and this could be a viable business operational from home or any other location.
7. Copywriter
A copywriter is someone who uses words to sell products and services. One huge perk of being a freelance copywriter is the flexible lifestyle. You can earn your living from anywhere in the world – a holiday home, an island, or your own home.

8. Computer Software Engineer
Using your skills in design, development, testing and evaluation of computer software you can develop your own products or work on a freelance basis for companies worldwide.
9. Ebay Trader
Ebay is an international online marketplace, making it a perfect business to operate from any country. With a little organization you could spend 6 months in the UK trading under Ebay UK and then 6 months in another country of your choice trading under the Ebay sister site of that country.
Sign up for a free Ebay account and take a little test drive!
10. Web Designer / Graphic Designer
If you can create graphics, logos, brochures, newsletters, posters, signs, advertisements, using desktop publishing software or web designer software, you could run your own design business from home, and that home could be anywhere.
There you have it folks. Unchain yourself from your desk job with a portable business which can be run from anywhere in the world.
Anyone with other suggestions feel free to tell us about them via a comment below.
Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Mike and thank you for your input.
Hope you made a few bucks.
I used to do it as well but it was taking up too much of my time away from other stuff I was involved in.
Enjoy your Saturday.
Robert
I love what you have done here, Robert, it will certainly clear things up for those floundering.
Hello Michael and thank you for dropping by and reading my blog.
Hopefully I'll get fewer questions on the subject of 'How Can I Make Money Online'.
If newbies would only get stuck into the training and lessons they will find loads of ideas throughout them.
I think they want a quick fix when there isn't one.
It takes work and more work to start to make any money no matter what the work involves.
No such thing as a free lunch when working for yourself.
Enjoy your weekend Michael.
Robert
LOL! I did a post called 'there's no free lunch' but still we all want one don't we? People tend to forget how long it takes to learn something worthwhile, Robert, and how long before they earn a living because mum and dad supported them...
I agree. You learn to fly, leave the nest and then reality hits you right between the eyes.
We have all been there and hopefully we learn from our mistakes.
If you don't you will surely go under and the internet is no different than a 9 to 5.
Now I'm off out for a few hours so maybe catch you later tonight.

Hello Gautam and thank you for reading my article and leaving a comment.
Enjoy your Saturday.

Hello Robert, thank you for another excellent and useful blog post, I'm sure that many people will benefit from this and will help them with fresh ideas. I tried a couple of your links, in fact, one of the links was eBay and it didn't appear to work Robert, it may be my end, though?!
All the best to you Robert and enjoy your weekend, Roy.
My fault I used the www instead of the http.
I should have known better so I put it down to a senior moment lol.
Thank you for your comment Roy and have a nice weekend.
Robert
Very easily done Robert, once again thank you for your input here at Wealthy Affiliate.
Roy

Very valuable information. Thank you.
Hi Mildred and thank you for reading my blog.
Did it give you an idea or two?
Hope so and if not then stick to what you're involved with now.
Enjoy your Saturday.
Robert
I graduated with an associate's degree in Graphic Design, and I couldn't find a good job in that area. I had no idea what a copywriter was until I read your article. Right now I'm doing WA.
Thank you
There you go then Mildred.
You have skills so why not use them as an income source?
I used to do copywriting a few years back but it took up too much of my time away from other stuff I was involved in.
Mike who commented was also involved in this and if you would like to know more then why not get in touch.
