1. Freelancing
Freelancing is gaining popularity among Vietnamese youth. It involves completing a specific task or job for a client (individual or group) within an agreed-upon timeframe in exchange for compensation. Nowadays, more and more businesses prefer hiring freelancers to save costs and avoid long-term commitments like with employees.
As a freelancer, you have full control over your time and work method, allowing you to take on multiple projects from various investors as long as you meet their requirements. This is a highly promising opportunity for Vietnamese youth to earn extra income. However, to become a successful freelancer, you need to possess certain skills such as writing, translation, programming, design, etc.
2. Blogging
If you have a passion and expertise in a certain field (programming, cooking, beauty, etc.), along with a bit of writing talent, you can create your own personal blog and earn money through it.
Earning money through blogging is similar to earning money through YouTube. Blog owners generate income through their posts and experiences shared on the blog, attracting readers and earning commissions from advertisements placed on it. These advertisements can be images, videos, or shortened links. The more followers your blog has, the more commission you earn. Investing in the content of your posts is the key to attracting followers to your blog.
3. Making Money from YouTube
The giant video platform YouTube is very familiar to Vietnamese people. However, most only know YouTube through shared videos and few realize its potential for earning money.
There are 2 ways to earn money from YouTube: ad revenue and views. Earning money through YouTube is simple: you upload a video, YouTube provides an ad code that will display below your shared video, and when viewers click on those ads, you earn commission. Once you reach the required number of subscribers and views, you can monetize those views.
Today, with just a camera or a phone with camera support, anyone can create a video. The amount you earn is proportional to the number of views your video gets, so you need to create an engaging video.
4. Making Money on Mobile Phones
This is a relatively new way to earn money within the Vietnamese community. Nowadays, instead of spending money on traditional advertisements, software advertising companies share profits with users when they download and try out the apps provided by those companies. This is a profit-sharing policy with users.
The participation process is simple: with just a smartphone connected to the internet, you download and try out apps to earn points. These points can be exchanged for gifts, phone cards, or cash. The more programs you participate in, the more points you accumulate. With diligence, the monthly earnings can reach millions of VND.
5. Opening an Online Store
Online shopping is no longer unfamiliar to Vietnamese people. Due to the increasing demand for shopping, online stores are becoming more and more common. If you are passionate about business, consider opening an online store specializing in selling a specific product. The advantage of this method is that it requires no capital and no experience, and the profit depends on the quantity of products sold. However, to retain long-term customers, you must ensure product quality and competitive pricing, and avoid situations where the actual product differs from the image posted.
Opening an online store in Vietnam is incredibly simple and convenient nowadays. You can start by selling on popular shopping platforms like Tiki, Shopee, Sen Do,... or on social networks like Facebook, Instagram,...
