10 Proven Ways To Earn Money Online in the Philippines

During the covid-19 pandemic in the Philippines, the people used to stay at home without doing any work, most of them have lost their jobs. That was a frustrating situation. Fortunately, when there comes darkness, there comes the light of hope also. So, almost everyone searches about all the legit ways to make money fast in the Philippines.

The question arises, what are those trusted and legal ways that pay to those who are willing to make money online.

The world has changed after the lockdowns, and people are now aware of the benefits of remote working (working from home). Currently, thousands of Filipinos are working as freelancers or digital marketers and earning a very healthy amount of income.

Although you are presently doing a job, you can also think about passive income ideas. You earn extra money through easy ways online.

Captcha Decoder

I’ve been to these Captcha decoding websites to easily make money fast (but small amount) per week. All you have to do is type in the words correctly (make sure that you’ve entered the correct words or letters because they will ban accounts with multiple errors). There are a lot of money-making ideas and websites online, but I will only include the two sites that have at least given me money. Here are the two genuine sites that pay you through Bitcoins.

But first, I should introduce you to Mr. Bitcoin.

Since I’m still a college student and didn’t come from a wealthy family, I don’t have any bank accounts (e.g. PayPal, BDO, BPI, etc.) that’ll help me in claiming the money from the internet, until I discovered bitcoins.

Bitcoins are like an internet money currency that has its own exchange rate. Coins.ph is one of the most famous internet wallets that’ll help you receive the Bitcoins that you earned and send as well. In Coin.ph, you’ll be given 2 wallets (Bitcoin wallet and Peso Wallet) each having its own wallet address. Those wallet addresses enable you to receive your earnings and can, later on, be transferred to your peso wallet for withdrawal.

The good thing about this is that you can withdraw your money using local banks (e.g. BDO, BPI, Security Bank, PNB, etc.), Cash Pickups, Cash Card, Globe Gcash, Door-to-door delivery, and even Game Credits (e.g. Steam Wallet, Garena Shells). Also, you can pay bills, buy gift certificates or even buy cellphone load directly from coins.ph.

Going back, here are the two legit sites that’ll help you earn bitcoins:

1. Megatypers.com

In megatypers.com, you can earn by typing captchas or by referrals. You can start working and type in average captchas or enable the Smart-Captchas. The rate of earnings will vary depending on the time you work (It is mostly high from 10PM – 5AM). It will be stated at the upper left corner of your screen while working.

Additionally, if you’re a fast typer, you can join the contest event which happens every hour. Being in the top place will benefit you by having more earnings compared to the usual typing session. However, if you are not included in the ranking list, contest earnings will not be added to your total earnings.

Also, keep in mind to type fast and accurately, this site gives TyperPoints bonus as compensation to those who solve captchas quickly and correctly. On the other hand, if you type slow and weren’t able to solve captchas based on the given time, there is a possibility of a temporary or permanent ban.

Moreover, remember to choose the Bitcoin payment mode for a faster payout. You should also paste in your bitcoin wallet address to receive payment.

At on average, I would earn the minimum payout of $1.5 in 1 and a half weeks (10 days to be exact), because of my schedule at school. But you can do more depending on your solved captcha.

2. 2captcha

2captcha.com is similar to megatypers but gives slightly lesser earnings compared to megatypers. However, this offers different features like mobile interface and PC application, which gives higher earnings.

solve 2captcha

2captcha doesn’t focus on how fast you enter the captchas but on the correctness of the entered characters from the image shown. So be sure to enter the words correctly and earn reputation points to avoid account bans.

3. Freelancing

It was not long until I discovered another clever way to make money – Freelancing. At first, I was scared to try freelancing sites because I think that I don’t have any talents to share. But this is one of the major ways in earning money online. Most of the needed persons in freelancing are Content Writers, Virtual Assistants, Web Developers, etc.

But why should you enter the world of freelancing?

Because you can earn extra money from it even though you are still getting your college degree or a single mom looking for home-based jobs, as long as you have the necessary skills, sources, and patience to do the task given, then you are good to go.

Here are some of the websites that’ll let you offer your skills:

Things you’ll need:

  1. Internet Connection
  2. Laptop/ Computer
  3. Keyboard and typing skills
  4. Prayer
  5. Time and Patience
  6. Self-learned skills appropriate for the desired skill

As for me, I am still a newbie at bomjobs.com. But for every job you sell, you’ll get at least ₱159.20. Last month I got 2 orders in line with my expertise, 2D / 3D CAD Modeling. Those unique orders are not that rampant but the very popular ones are Content Writing, Web Development, and Logo Designing.

However, you’ll need bank cards for you to withdraw your earnings. My tip is to collect all your earnings first, then work your way in getting a simple cash card offered by your local banks. Cash Cards doesn’t have a minimum maintaining balance fee (e.g. BPI Easy Saver Account or BDP Cash Card) and is ideal for saving purposes only.

Having experienced these, I believe that everything can be attained as long as we have the utmost desire and passion to do it.

Furthermore, tremendous courage is required to get out of our safe zone (it’s good to get out there once in a while so as to open opportunities). It might be scary at first but I promise you that it’ll be exciting and fun as well.

Lastly, take your time discovering yourself. Don’t rush everything and learn from every step and mistake that you make along the way because the important thing is you as a person and as a professional worker. So let’s go and unravel life’s vast opportunities in this wide universe.

Are you one of those persons who are in need of an extra income really, really bad? Many will probably think of this as networking, but this is not.
