The best way to earn an income online though is to never depend on one source. Most freelancers have other ways of making money, from doing simple surveys to having a part-time online business. You can even earn some extra cash by watching videos, visiting websites and doing tasks.
Doing surveys and small tasks online will NOT make you rich of course, but they're an easy way to earn a few extra bucks in your downtime when other freelance jobs are not available.

2. Rev.com
Audio and video transcription is a popular work-at-home side hustle. The problem is that it rarely pays well.
This is good for you if you love writing and freelance. You can do transcription or captioning. You will be required to pass a grammar test.
Rev is not a “fire-your-boss” type of gig. It’s for extra money when you can make it, or an additional income source to add to your freelance portfolio.
Rev has 4 available positions for freelancers, which are…
Transcriptionist: Converting spoken English audio into a written document.
Captioner: Transcribe spoken English and add captions to video.
Subtitler: Translate spoken words on screen and add subtitles to video.
Translator: Translation for purposes other than video subtitles.
If you’re not familiar with online transcription and translation services, it’s a simple process.
Clients upload audio and video files to Rev, and then those files are sent to you for transcribing or translating.
Basically, you’re sitting at your computer (in a distraction free environment) listening, and typing out conversations about things you probably have no interest in.
It seems simple enough, but quite often you’re dealing with poor audio quality, hard to understand accents and multiple voices talking over one another.
Not going to lie, the pay is small but when converted to SA currency, it is not bad at all. The job is not for everyone and you have to be really good at what you do to avoid losing your account.
