Ways to earn money from your phone

One of the questions that has been asked frequently on social media, forums, and blog comments, and we often receive from our followers is “How can I make money online from mobile?”

I am an ordinary person and I do not have exceptional qualifications, and I want ways to work and earn money from the internet that I can only implement by relying on my mobile phone.

In fact, according to statistics, the number of internet users from mobile has exceeded 5 billion people, which is more than 60% of internet users use mobile to access the internet. So, on our side as ambitious youth, can we also find opportunities to work and earn money from the internet using mobile only?

The good news is that the answer is yes, and in this article we will explain to you a set of ideas that are perfect for you as a person who only has a mobile phone and wants to rely on it to earn money from the internet.

1. Freelancing

Freelancing is when someone hires you to perform a task, and pays you for it according to your agreement.

This is without any other commitment from either party, meaning you don't need to work with them for a long time after that, and you don't need to do anything else except deliver the work to the required quality and on time.

The advantage of freelancing is that it solves a lot of problems, you are your own boss and you decide everything, from what you do to when you work.

Freelancing also opens the door for you to get your money in hard currency such as dollars and euros, depending on the entity or person you work for, of course depending on the field of freelancing you have chosen.

All you have to do is choose the tasks that suit you and that you can perform with high quality through your mobile phone, such as:

Writing (in all its forms).

Grammar checking and editing.

Social media and marketing (if you choose the correct tasks that are possible through the mobile phone).

Data entry, copying, and transferring.

Translation.

Customer service.

Providing specialized consulting.

Personal training and nutrition.

And many other tasks that can be done in one way or another through your mobile phone.

You can do freelancing here in several ways, such as:

Get a freelancing task through Facebook groups specialized in the field you want to work in.

Through freelance platforms that you can download their applications, such as: Upwork app.

Through LinkedIn platform.

By talking to people or companies directly.

And this is not everything, there are no limits to the fields or methods of freelancing. Just make sure that you really have the required skills that you can implement through your mobile phone, and learn how to enhance and improve your services and work in general.

2. Selling on the Internet

“Nine tenths of livelihood is in trade,” and this also applies in the case of selling on the Internet. In my experience and knowledge, it is the fastest way to earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

And the best thing about it is that you don’t need to have any specific experience or skill to get started, but all you need is a good amount of capital to start working with and a phone.

You may not need to do a lot of things or even start an online store to do this, as you can easily sell on Facebook Marketplace or Facebook groups.

Or you can start a page where you sell products on any of the social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, or literally any other platform where customers are present.

Or you can sell on platforms like Amazon, or even platforms like eBay, and many more.

What you need to do here is to know your target customer well, to know what he likes about the product and what he dislikes, and how you can attract him to buy from you.

It doesn’t matter what products you sell, it doesn’t even matter if they are new or used, as the markets are very rich and huge and generate good profits.

For every product, there is a market and a customer, starting from used clothes, even wild animals, up to smoking supplies.

In e-commerce, there are no limits to what you can do and sell, and there are no limits to the profits you can make.

The great thing about e-commerce is that it has become very flexible, and there are many easy and simple paths to enter it, so it will be very easy to get started only by relying on your mobile phone.

3. Content creation

Creating digital content is one of the best ways that will enable you to make money from the Internet from a mobile phone, as the importance of content is increasing at this time.

If you have experience in a field or even if you love a field - such as fashion, cars, or gaming - you can create content about it and earn a lot of dollars.

The matter will not be easy at first, but if you persevere, you will eventually achieve excellent profits.

There are no limits here to the form of content that you can create or present, for example:

Articles
Podcasts
An account on one of the social media platforms
Videos on YouTube or any similar platform
Short videos on TikTok, Reels, or Shorts

Literally, the limit is the sky or as foreigners say Sky’s the Limit.

Of course, you will need to have the necessary skills in the beginning, and you may need some time to master writing or video production to produce good content that will return you money.

You can learn either through professional articles or through courses that you find on platforms such as: Udemy, Coursera, SkillShare, and others.

Of course, you will need the appropriate tools and applications during this, such as text editing applications such as Google Docs that you can download to your mobile phone.

You may also need other applications depending on the type of content you provide, such as Anchor in the case of podcasts or CapCut in the case of videos.

If you choose the field of video production, you do not need to be an expert in editing videos, as you can download one of the phone applications such as Adobe Premiere Rush or any other application and start learning it step by step.

Through the mentioned applications and other mobile phone applications, you can easily create digital content from your mobile phone and profit from it, and thus you will be able to make money from the Internet from a mobile phone only… Isn’t that great?

You can use content creation for your own benefit, or get a job as a content creator, by searching on different platforms such as freelance platforms or LinkedIn.

Or you can even contact companies or clients that you think need your video services directly.

I know a smart friend who was able to earn a lot of money in this way, as she contacted libraries and publishers and agreed with them to create visual content for their books.

In this way, she got many jobs to the extent that she had to refuse many of them later because she was unable to fulfill all their requests.

4. Photography

With your mobile phone camera, you can make money online from your phone. It's simple... you just need to learn how to take high-quality photos that others want to use.

Whether these photos are of natural landscapes or the historic sites that abound in our Arab region, or even photos of people, whether ordinary or wearing traditional clothing (of course you must get permission from these people before photographing them, and get another permission to sell the photo).

Then you display these photos on photo selling platforms, of course after improving and processing them if necessary, and in this way you get your profits from the platform.

There are several models of profit, according to the laws of each platform, the most famous of which and the most used are:

Getting a fixed amount of money in return for selling the photo, for example 15 dollars.
Getting a small amount of money (a few cents) every time a subscriber on the platform downloads this photo.

But as you expected, it's not that easy, but if you love photography, you'll enjoy it a lot while you're getting dollars for your passion.

The matter may require you to own or buy a phone with high specifications, especially that the camera attached to it is of high quality.

And in general, it is suitable for shooting in high resolution 4K or even 8K now, especially if you will be selling videos in addition to photos.

You will also need to download and learn some photo editing apps, such as:

Adobe Photoshop Camera

If you are shooting people, you may need to learn Retouch and use the appropriate apps, such as:

AirBrush
TouchRetouch
Snapseed

This method is very profitable, as it is one of the best ways to make money online from your phone, but it requires you to be a photography lover and have a photographer's eye that can capture the most beautiful landscapes and angles.

Before I move on to the other method, don't forget to read the terms and conditions of the site you will sell the photos to carefully before joining it.

5. Voiceover (Voice Over)

One of the most distinctive ways to make money online from your phone is voiceover or Voice Over.

If you have a distinctive voice and can pronounce Arabic or English words with correct rules and clear pronunciation, this method will be perfect for you.

You can comment on videos and movies, dub, read audiobooks, or anything else you can use your voice in.

In fact, you can do voiceover Voice Over professionally from your phone if you want, but you must of course use the right tools.

For example, you will need to buy a professional microphone for your mobile phone, such as Rode Smartlav+ or The Blue Yeti with an adapter to connect it to the phone.

And if you want to make it more professional, you can buy other tools, such as:

Noise-canceling headphones.
Mixer.
Soundproof.
And other tools that will improve the quality of your sound.

You will also need to learn more about recording, such as how to choose a recording location, how to reduce echo and reduce noise in the location to a minimum.

In addition to how to improve your voice and what foods and drinks you should avoid or adhere to for the quality of your voice.

The measure here is absolute quality, if you can be charged for a minute of your voiceover for amounts that reach tens of dollars.

The secret here goes back to what you can do, for example, if you are fluent in English or one of the foreign languages, you will work for a much higher price.

Then you will need to process your audio, through apps like AudioLab or GarageBand, and many others.

You can work in voiceover in several ways:

Acquaintances and friends or sending emails to production companies in your country or even other countries.
Facebook groups and pages for voiceover.
Famous freelance platforms like Upwork and Freelancer and others.
Freelance platforms for voiceover like voices, voice123.

6. Managing Social Media Platforms

One of the easiest ways to make money online from your phone is to manage social media platforms for others. With your phone, you can earn a few hundred dollars a month.

The tasks of a social media manager vary depending on the job, but they typically include some of these:

Overseeing the social media publishing process.
Implementing marketing strategies.
Responding to customers and interacting with them.
Designing and overseeing content.

The advantage of this method is that it is easy and requires no more than learning social media. Additionally, the more skilled and experienced you become, the higher your salary will be.

If you have experience in the field of the page you manage, or if you have the ability to design, write content, and manage advertising campaigns, your salary will be much higher than that of a regular social media manager.

You can easily use apps that will help you with this from your phone, such as Meta Business Suite, Hootsuite, or Buffer.

You can also manage multiple client pages at the same time. Some people manage up to 4 or 5 client pages at the same time.

You can find jobs through Facebook groups and various freelance platforms.

However, make sure you keep learning everything new in social media. As you know, it is constantly changing, and your unique selling point that will make them hire you is your competence.

7. Teaching Others Online

If you are proficient in a skill such as programming or design, or even if you have experience in a field for a long time - even if it is cooking or handmade product design - you might consider this method.

One of the best ways to make money online from your phone is to teach others. There are many people I know who make a lot of money from this method.

One of the most profitable areas in education is teaching English to non-native speakers or similar things.

There are even people in the content world who make tens of thousands of dollars teaching others how to take care of themselves and choose clothes correctly.

You may find it difficult at first to find people willing to pay for your expertise and knowledge, but once you can convince one, you will be able to convince a thousand others.

The method is very easy as there are dozens of apps on the internet like Zoom or Google Meet.

You can find clients through your network of relationships, social media platforms, or freelance platforms as mentioned earlier.

8. Investing and trading

You may be surprised to see investing and trading on this list, but it is one of the most effective and profitable ways to make money if you do it right.

Of course, you will need some capital to invest in the beginning, even if it is small, but the returns, especially long-term, can be amazing.

You do not need to have any specific skills, but only the desire to learn, patience, and mental toughness to teach yourself the right investment and trading strategies.

Then you choose what you want to invest or trade in, such as: investing in stocks, investing in gold, trading cryptocurrencies, etc.

It is best in the beginning not to put your real money at risk in the learning phase, instead you can use virtual accounts provided by trading applications like Robinhood without risking losing your money.

You should also know that the amounts you earn from this method cannot be relied upon as a steady source of income in the short term at least.

Rather, it should be a side passive income source alongside the work you do, in order to be able to expand and reinvest more money in the future.

You can choose the application that suits you and agrees with what you want to invest in, and there are literally dozens of good choices.

Conclusion

Having an additional source of income is no longer a luxury in today's world, even if you already have a job that generates you money, you still need to find a way to boost this income.

And there is no easier way than making money from the internet from your phone, you can't imagine how much money you can get from it in your free time that you will spend working not browsing social media.

In conclusion, we hope this article has been helpful and has helped you to get started with making money from the internet from your phone, and if you have any questions, please post them in the comments.
