Gone are the times when you used to wait for a publisher to print your book and wait for it to arrive at bookshelves and make people buy them.

Now, if you can write a book, you can do it online without even hiring anymore to publish it. You can self-publish a book and sell it online.

Here’s how to begin.

Find a niche that people want to read. Do some research on that niche. Write an eBook and sell it on a website like Amazon Kindle, Lulu, Blurb, Tradebit, etc.

This is one of the most natural ways on how to earn extra money online in Dubai.

No need for a publisher, a delivery boy, or even a salesman. You can do everything yourself and sell the book online.

Dubizzle is like a local version of eBay.

It’s easy to use.

Write an attention-grabbing title for it.

Choose the product category.

Write a description of the product. Add a price, and you are good to go.

7. Start a blog

One of the most legit ways on how to make money online in Dubai is to start a blog, build authority, and let people pay you to read your blog posts.

Although it takes time to start a blog and build a readership, once people start reading the stuff they need, they will become your loyal subscribers. And at that moment they’ll even pay you to read your blog.

Choose a professional website design Dubai agency that can build your blog. Start writing on stuff that you are good at. This is similar to teaching a course online. The only difference is that people will read instead of watching a video.

You can earn by premium subscription, by Google AdSense, or if individual companies take notice of your blog, they might offer you money to place their ads on your blog.

8. Buy & Sell Domain Names

Do you know that you can make a lot of money by buying and selling domain names?

Say, there is a website sendgifts.com. Now, check if the site is Dubai based. You can buy a regional domain name and sell it to the brand. Like, sendgifts.ae or sendgifts.ca or even sendgifts.uae. Buy these domain names and pitch them to the brand.

When you do that – the brand might offer an excellent price to get their regional domain name. Ask for a high price, and the brand will be happy to pay you. And even if the brand negotiates, it’s a win-win deal for you.

9. Become a Virtual Assistant

From my personal experience, I can tell you that having a virtual assistant can help you big time. At times people might be doing one thing, and there is no time to complete the spreadsheet or the daily activities for their business.

You can be that personal assistant and do small things for them and get paid for it.  It could be anything from sending emails to reserving a booking for lunch or talking with a prospective client.

A big thanks to sites like Red Butler, oDesk, LinkedIn, and Zirtual, which can help you to become a virtual assistant for someone.
