Focus more on making money than saving money

AT CompareHero. my we are interested in saving a lot of money. We are not trying to be extreme cheapskates because where is the fun?

Rather, we try to be innovative and find new ways to save money.

But no matter how much you try and how much you save, you will always be limited how much you deserve.

So it makes sense to spend so much time thinking about how to earn more money.

Yes, you can earn money with Airbnb, Uber, Grab, a travel or power blog, your Instagram account, or distribute your game bets to YouTube.

However, I would not bother you with these examples from 2013 on.

This is because there are many interesting trends and opportunities that you can use to make more money on your regular work, or even change jobs.

First, there are many platforms that match the supply and demand of any type of work. With the abundance of free Wi-Fi, you can learn free digital teachers online or free of charge for sites like Udemy and Coursera.

For the Malays, there are a number of factors that work to your advantage.

Because of their history, many Malaysians speak very good English, which means that the big and rich English-speaking world is their oyster!

Finally, it is no secret that Ringgit decreases. This means that the euro and the dollar will become more expensive, but it is a good thing if you are paid in these currencies because you will be Ringgit, you can spend more here in Malaysia.

How do you pay in dollars, can you lend? Online of course! They can be paid to click, tweeter, search, browses, examine, search, mystery, test, write, design, movie, teach, babysit, throw, translate, edit something that other people are willing to pay.

You can even become a virtual assistant and run micro-tasks on websites like Fiverr, Up work, Freelancer, Contented, 99Designs or start paid by Amazon Mechanical Turk for Human Intelligence Tasks.

If you're making pictures that are worth Instagram anyway, and your coffee and dinner is cool to photograph it, why not monetize it as influential social media?

And if you're doing some artistic and crazy Pinterest, why can not you sell it all over the world on Amazon, eBay or Etsy?

Why not sell your digital marketing skills and social media online if you spend 4 hours a day on Facebook and Snapchat anyway?

Learn SEO, SEM, graphics or even web design to learn how to code!

Or create a small e-commerce store with Shopify and sell everything Durian has in it to anyone who has fallen in love with fruit when he visits Malaysia.

Why not become an online entrepreneur? Whether emails, site calls, ads, profiles, lead, ads, products from your business or someone else, there are many niches too small to focus on the capitalists from risk to the unicorn

However, these niche opportunities can certainly support a family and retain their competencies at the same time.

You do not need investors or even personal loans: many of these options can be started with a very minimal investment (less than RM500).

Be sure to give an idea of these ideas as much as you think when you think about saving on your shopping, gas, clothing, holiday or public transport.
