You carry it with you wherever you are. Heck, you can’t even live without it. So why not use your cellular phone as a money-raking instrument? It seems too good to be true, but yes, you can have an online job by just clicking your phone or talking through it.

It is now a solid fact, around 61% of the world’s population today have smartphones. Realizing this, business strategists exploit the idea that the cellphone is a very potent weapon that can be used to generate whopping revenues.

It is quite clear that the number of mobile phone users will certainly skyrocket to even greater heights in the next few years. It is indeed a wise move to get yourself into the cellphone money-making trend that will surely be very commonplace not too long from now.

Can it be done? Albeit easily? Fortunately for anyone who owns a phone, the answer is yes… although the easy part is a relative answer.

Here are online money-making tasks that you can perform with your phone:

1. Text Entry

In this job, you’ll be looking at a source document and entering some data into another document. Of course, this is best done with a laptop or desktop computer. But actually, some online companies don't really care if you do it by phone or with a standard computer keyboard as long as you can deliver quality output.

The challenging part of this job is that sometimes, there will be clients who will send you photographs of hand-written documents that will be very hard to read. The remedy to this would be to enhance your vocabulary and work on your research skills.

Skills needed:

knowledge about word processors and common text-based apps
touch typing (when typing with a keyboard)
ideal typing speed
accuracy and attention to detail

2. Technical Support

This is something that belongs to virtual assistance. You can do it through chats or phone calls, as long as you can give clear and comprehensive assistance to your clients. In doing this, however, you need to be sure of your internet connection or phone signal stability because obviously, you wouldn’t want to spurn your clients into anger with choppy conversations.

Being a techie is a huge plus for this job, in addition to being an engaging conversationalist. You don't need to talk always though, because there are actually chat-support jobs in which all you do is type some instructions and send them to your clients.

Skills needed:

good communication skills
high typing speed and accuracy (for chat support)
in-depth knowledge about the job description

3. Voice-Over Acting

This one might be quite new to you, but such an online job does exist. Although this one can be better accomplished with a mic and a computer, some people who are into this job actually started with just their phones. One popular online job in this category is audiobook narrating. Read about it here.

Doing voice-over takes a lot of guts and practice time. It is one of the strangest jobs in existence but actually, it is among those jobs that have the lowest competition. Only a few people are trying this out so your chance of getting hired will not be that difficult, that is if you have the innate talent already.

Skills needed:

good communication skills
proper enunciation and pronunciation
basic audio recording knowledge

4. Online Teaching/Tutoring

Like most online jobs, this one is done better with a desktop computer, a camera, and a good headset. But just very recently, some online companies now hire educators who are willing to do their jobs with just their phones. In choosing this, you need to have a real quiet spot though to prevent noise interferences from the surroundings.

Becoming an online teacher with just your phone isn't a very good option though if you wish to be really serious with this career. Although some online companies really do hire teachers who just teach with their phones, most companies really prefer those who own laptops with stable internet connections.

Skills needed:

good communication skills
in-depth knowledge on a chosen subject

5. Photography

Although what I'm implying here is not the job of taking photographs of pretty models and breath-taking landscapes, you can actually earn by taking pictures of surrounding objects. Many online companies do solicit pictures from freelancers who capture images with their phone cameras.

Such pictures will be used to train artificial intelligence systems into mimicking human perception of real-world images. Many freelancers are actually doing this as a side-hustle because they can earn small amounts that they can withdraw and use in their daily spending habits.

Skills needed:

natural light utilization
proper angling and framing
basic knowledge about digital graphics

6. Vlogging

Some people want to start their own vlog channels, but are hesitant to take action because they can't afford expensive vlogging equipment. But here's the thing: many successful Youtube vloggers actually start with just their phones. As they gain some popularity, they later invested in better equipment to further their careers.

Amazingly, some vloggers still continue to capture themselves with their phone cameras even if they already own better cameras. Wanna be a vlogger but are drawn back by your inability to buy a good camera? Stand up and do it. You're just making excuses!
