How to make extra money online to boost your income

My ability to make money online came through the need to be creative in earning extra income. Through the years, some groups have invited me to speak who couldn't help much (or any) with travel expenses. Working online seemed like a realistic option - if I could figure out how to do it. That was a decade ago. In this article, I'm sharing with you how to make money online with freelance work, side hustles, blogging and vlogging and other legit ways to boost income.

The internet growth has created an incredible number of work-from-home  freelance opportunities and more ways to earn extra income online than ever before. New social media platforms provide options for boosting your audience that weren't available even a few years ago. Each platform bring the opportunity to reach more people and to boost your following so that you can make money online.

In addition to travel, the extra income that I make has paid for both of my daughters' weddings, college textbooks and generally paid off bills. If I can do it, you can too. The work isn't quick, but it can be done. Here are some tried and true methods to help you get started.
