In this modern era and as we move into the future, there is not really a place you can turn where you won’t encounter technology of some sort. From modern-day phones to smart TVs to a staggering amount of apps to choose from, technology is quite literally at our fingertips most of the time. The question is, can the availability of technology be something that can help you to earn an income?

Whether it is a bit of extra cash on the side or a full-time remote job you are seeking, these technological advances can help you to achieve your goals.

Freelance websites

Online work is still a relatively new thing around the world and businesses are still somewhat adapting to the availability of online workers that they can employ to get the job done. Where a manager would once have to work their way through a pile of written resumes to find the potential candidates that could be right for a position, there are now several freelance websites where candidates can post their skills and bid for work from the comfort of their own home. Though many use these sites as a gateway into full-time positions, they can be just as handy for those who are looking to top up their monthly income with a little extra on the side. From creative design to marketing to editing and more, there is a freelance job out there that could be just right for you.

Share trading apps

One of the beauties of technology is that it has opened the world up to a new degree. With the rise of recent share trading apps, with one simple account, investing in Australian shares from anywhere in the world becomes a simple process. Whether you are based in another country and want to participate in a bit of Wall Street action or you are looking for good quality blue-chip shares to invest in, there are several apps you can use to make your dreams of a share portfolio a reality. These apps are not just for long-term investments either. You can easily play the market as an active trader with real-time updates on current market trends and conditions making it easier than ever to earn the extra income you need.

Conversational platforms

From the days of instant messaging being the latest in new technology to now when almost everything is done by text, the art of conversation is beginning to be lost. With the world so quickly moving to text and emojis as the main form of communication, there is still something to be said for good old-fashioned conversation. There are multiple platforms available for those learning English or other second languages where native speakers can be paid to have face-to-face (online) conversations. These sites are a great opportunity to socialize outside of your regular circles and to get to know more about other cultures, all while making that little bit of extra cash on the side.

Everyone can always do with a little extra income and if you learn to utilize the technologies available to you, then there is every possibility that your side income is only a few clicks away. Do your research and discover the world of options that are out there due to rapidly advancing technologies that are making it easier than ever to make a comfortable living from the comfort of your own home.
