Are you looking for work from home job during this Coronavirus crisis? Welcome to my blog dear my friend because today I wanna share to you about things that I personally do from the past 10 years in photography.
My name is Bima by the way and I run a wedding photography business together with my wife since 2009, during this journey I always open my eyes and try some investment that still related to photography but lately I found 11 good things that EVERYONE can do even you’re not a photographer like me.
Back to 2010 I was stuck of selling my photo services since I live in a small town with low photographer fee, I was joining a seminar in Semarang Central Java and I met a Singaporean guy who run his business just by using a blog, his name is Fabian Lim. The worse thing of it is, If I want o learn about internet marketing from him in a class than I have to pay $700 for 2 days workshop called Real Internet Secret. Honestly I only have $100 in the bank and my mom got $800 in her bank so I make a special propose to her to ask her money, it’s truly the biggest investment that I ever did in my entire life but what a surprise that my mom let me to use her money for all.
Love you mom…!
It’s Fabian…
This Singaporean guy was so friendly but if you taking his class than go super serious to work on it. Actually I never know about this freakin’ guy before but what I know is this man running his business by using internet for sure even he only made a simple wordpress site for earning tons of money every single minutes.
He loves airplane too and it definitely influence me to learn to fly by using Skyranger back few months ago. Lately I know he bought his fir aircraft Columbia 350 than upgrade it into small jet aircraft called Eclipse 500, it’s insane!
I think you will love to work from home and earning money by driving your own aircraft, and this is one Fabian’s photographs that truly inspire me as a photographer.
So I don’t wanna take this ridiculous story too long and want to stick to the main topic, 13 Work from Home Job That EVERYONE Can Do. So I hope you will get ready for this.
Disclaimer!

11 Work from Home Job Ideas That EVERYONE Can Do
1 – Making ‘Ur First Online Class
I’m not going to ask you to make your photography online class like me but no matter what you concern with than go making your own online class. I was remember when join an online class by CreativeLive than I have to stick in front of my iMac 21,5′ to watch my online class in LIVE from Los Angeles from 9pm to 6am because it has a different time zone with in Indonesia.
Few online class that you can consider to check for getting some references are:
- CreativeLive – a lot of art and business class in this platform
- Masterclass – one good platform that some professional or celebrity chef and multi millionaire like Gordon Ramsay also earn money from his online class
Creating your online class is easy because all you need to do is recording what you are expecting at than sell those files to as many students as you can. Some online class platform that you can consider are:
- Udemy – you can make your own class by sharing profit or pay a membership to get your full earning
- Thinkific – I’m in here, it’s free for 3 courses
- Teachable – almost same with Udemy go compare both of them
Before the Coronavirus has just come, I made my online class to share everything that I know on Airbnb business because in 2013 I made my home as an Airbnb and it grows till now I develop 3 houses and 1 coffee shop. You can read my story about hosting Airbnb too to get some references of renting your space on this platform.
Basic gears that you may consider to own to make your online class are:
- Entry level mirrorless, I use Canon EOS M to make a great video on my class
- 64GB SD card, I’m a San Disk user
- Card reader, it used to read your SD card file and transfer it to computer
- Gorilla stand or Tripod
2 – Sell Your Information and Guidance Through Ebook
If online class seems to be dynamic than ebook will looks so static because generally it just a book that in digital mode or in other words it just a file of your articles than sell it as many as you can.
Let me tell you something good about creating ebook, when I was joining an internet marketing workshop in Jakarta, there is an old lady who become of my senior in that class is successfully selling her fried rice ebook for 10.000 download which is cost only $0.99 each and what things that make me surprise is she just a 60 years old house wife, so how about us who way younger than her?
From 2012 till I wrote this article I already published 26 ebooks (photography, food, traveling, and business) on Google Play Store or in my own blog server, let me show you my ebooks here:
If you consider to sell your ebooks on Google Books than it is a great choice, 58% will belong to your royalty and 48% will goest to Google, it’s a big share but Google books traffic is great and you could earn money even you just sleep like a baby. Majority my ebooks is in Bahasa Indonesia and definitely I earn only $0.5 to $9 for each ebook that being sold in those platform but when you keep it and it will quite enough to your future investment and great passive income.
3 – Selling Your Lightroom Presets
Presets is one good digital product that you could sell if you are an active photographer or preset creator. A screenshots above is Taylor Jackson channel and while he earn money from adsense of affiliate but in the same he also selling his preset for $30 and in my honest opinion he could earn almost 100% of the royalty because definitely he just selling some files a.k.a the Presets.
Some platform that you could use to selling your Lightroom Presets are:
4 – Become a Shutterstock Contributors and Selling Your Photos Online
The good thing of my primary job, the wedding photographer, is I able to travel around the globe. Having such beautiful wedding is just taking 6 to 8 hours in average and I still have plenty of time to sightseeing around the city together with Nina. So what I’m doing is taking as many city scape, food, culture, and human interest wherever I go.
And this is the result,
Talking about earning, it’s not that big as I think but if I keep working on it continuously and I sure that it will belong to great digital assets for the future. At this time I got around 2600 photo stocks and keep going so my target is having around 100.000 photo stocks and once I achieve that goals than I will share my experience in this blog too.
Minimum earning that you will earn as a Contributor is just $0.25 but it can grows around $60 for each download when you have great images on demand.
It’s time for you to sign up your name as a Shutterstock contributor!
5 – Affiliate Bussiness
Affiliate is about working based on commission, so if you help some platform to sell their product or services than they will send you a commission to your bank or Paypal. Even there are so many company that provide great affiliate business system but during past 10 years I only earn money from this several companies that I will listed below:
Let me show you one my affiliate commission that I earn few months ago in January 2019
6 – Become a Freelancer in Fiverr
Earning money by become a freelancer in Fiverr is one great option to earn tons of money because I saw some friend earn over than $2k/month just by selling a video animation services. It’s not that big deal to earn around $15-25 by working in a digital animation or graphic design but it is a great work from home job that you must consider.
7 – Starting Your Youtube Channel
Having such informative Youtube channel is my sixth option for work from home and you could use it by uploading any information or daily activities that you personally do.
Pewdiepie is one of great Youtuber that could inspire you as well because this guy has more than 100 million subscriber in his channel and I believe that he bring million dollar earning every year just by playing such common game or talking in some topics. Now let me give you with some ordinary sample, it’s Evan or known in Cartoon Block who creating his Youtube channel few years ago and just earn $0.06 for the first time but it now grows into $10.000 cash every singe month just by showing how he made a cartoon figure by drawing in a Sketch.

8 – Renting Your Free Space on Airnb
Even it’s not a good time to open your Airbnb business during this Coronavirus but when this crisis is done than renting your room on Airbnb is a great choice. You can start your room from scratch because at the first time I rent my room it just earn me $10 per night and it grows into my 2nd and 3rd houses compliment with one awesome coffee shops.
Article that you might consider:
One worse thing that I could share during running this business in Coronavirus crisis is, there is a property of mine that lost for $4000 this month because so many guests are cancelling their trip. But I still love for doing this business so I still stand out for now and keep everything run aftet this crisis off.
9 – Share Your Experience in Instagram Live or Zoom
I think so many people doing Instagram LIVE for now and it was good because rather than you share bad news about Coronavirus than would be better if you share some great information or inspiration
10 – Creating Your First Blog and Share Information in It, Next You Could Selling EVERYTHING in It Too!
Creating a blog is just having such good portal like mine, I start this blog since 2008 and promoting my photography services through it. As an online based wedding photographer I using SEO (Search Engine Optimization) technic to put some traffic in it.
Here in this blog I use Bluehost to provide the system, through that platform you could buy a domain (your URL name like starbusiness.com) and the hosting (space for photo and article) for less than $100 per year.
By having a blog with a WordPress engine like mine you could earn money from any source like selling your products, services, or digital products but the most important things is you MUST WRITE GREAT ARTICLE to attract visitor to come into your blog.
11 – Selling Your Own Merchandise Online
