How To Make Money Online In China

There is a greater need than ever before for remote income options, since most expatriates in China are either working from home or are out of work altogether as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The opportunities to earn money online from the comfort of your own home in China are plentiful here.

Creation / Revision / Verification

Companies of all sizes and in all sectors are always on the lookout for fresh content, from catchy product descriptions to SEO-friendly blogs. Writing, editing, and proofreading jobs may be found in a wide variety of Chinese businesses, from manufacturing to education to publishing. All of these tasks, more so during these "special times," can be completed remotely.

Networking sites, or social media

Employment opportunities for those skilled in social media have been growing steadily in China for a while now. As the country has its own social media ecosystem, local enterprises with an international vision are continually searching for specialists in foreign social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Managing social media accounts may be done from home in China with nothing more than a computer and a phone. At the very least, you should be familiar with one social media management platform like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout. While posting may seem like a simple task, it really requires excellent organizational skills, a firm command of English (or the foreign language in where you are working), and a keen eye for detail.

Illustration and Visual Arts

A second viable option for making money online in China is video production. Print media like as billboards, banners, logos, flyers, book covers, and magazine infographics are in great demand. If you have any abilities connected to art and design, you’ll no doubt know that working alone, either at your computer or your sketchpad, is the ideal method to get the job done. Therefore, you can execute any of these tasks from the convenience of your couch.

Marketing

Typical marketing activities include ideation, format refinement, and the selection of appropriate dissemination channels. Many different types of Chinese businesses are on the lookout for foreigners who either have an in-depth knowledge of the markets from which they emigrated or creative ideas for selling to foreigners in China. Creating PPTs and surveys, phoning customers, and preparing spreadsheets, graphs, and reports can all be done remotely, but you'll still need to meet with your team (perhaps virtually) from time to time for pow-wows.

Selling online

It's surprising that anyone still shops at traditional stores in China given the meteoric rise of online shopping over the past decade. If you're looking for a flexible job in the digital sales industry, China's streamlined e-commerce platforms and logistics services are a great place to start. Many small Chinese businesses are selling their products exclusively online, allowing customers from around the country to get in on the action. Selling your wares online is a simple and straightforward method to earn money from home in China, whether you're selling artwork, food, cosmetics, imported goods, or frames you produced yourself.

Trading in cryptocurrencies and stocks

Everyone has heard of Bitcoin and Warren Buffet, but few have considered trying their hand at trading on their own. If you're fortunate and know what you're doing, buying and selling stocks and cryptocurrencies may be a very profitable venture. The greatest way to make money investing in cryptocurrencies or stocks is to hang on to them for a while in the hopes that their value will rise and you'll be able to sell them at a profit later. As a newcomer, it might be intimidating to dive in, but there is a wealth of resources available online to help you get started. As the world's stock markets plummet, you may also find excellent bargains. Ultimately, however, the greatest advise is to start small and be rigorous with yourself. This isn’t so much a job but a risky (and hopefully lucrative) investment in your future.
