2. How to earn extra income by investing

Besides being able to protect currency values ​​from inflation, investment is also known to be able to provide you with passive income that comes from fluctuations in the price of securities in the capital market. Investment is also often touted as a way to earn big profits and become a billionaire.

This assessment is actually not entirely wrong, because as we know that until now there are many famous investors from the world and the homeland who have become billionaires.

Call it for example Warren Buffet, Lo Kheng Hong, to a series of famous artists and entrepreneurs such as Raditya Dika, Reino Barack, and many more.

This certainly makes many people increasingly believe that investment is indeed one of the right choices to get a new source of income.

But what needs to be remembered is that going into the world of investment must also be equipped with sufficient knowledge and understanding to minimize the risk of loss.

You also have to be careful in choosing the type of investment instrument that is most suitable for your risk profile and investment objectives.

For beginners, investment instruments such as money market mutual funds or precious metals may be the best choice because both investment instruments are known to have the lowest risk of loss, but also only offer a small return.

3. Become a drop shipper or reseller

Well, this one might be an option for those of you who are looking for ways to get money without capital.

The reason is, with this business system, you don't have to buy stock in advance unless the prospective buyer is sure they want to buy the item and has transferred the purchase money to you.

You can become a dropshipper by selling various goods belonging to suppliers without having to have stock. Here you only need to use an online platform to sell.

You can also increase the price from the supplier when you sell it to the customer, and that value will be your profit.

Unlike the drop shipper business system where you don't need to buy stock, the reseller system actually requires you to have product stock. In other words, you have to do the things first.

The reseller system may feel more complicated, but you have more flexibility, such as product quality control, you can handle it yourself, you can sell offline, your sales margin can be higher.

If the blog that you build already has a large number of visitors, then you can also start selling advertising services on your blog or writing articles to promote a product or service, so you can earn money from these activities.

However, so that the money generated from the blog gets bigger, you also have to be diligent and consistent in providing interesting content.
