10 Websites That Pay $10,000 a Year

Do you want to earn a six-figure income online? Earning it from multiple sources will likely be a lot more doable and realistic.

Here’s why.

The number of work from home jobs that pay over $100,000 a year is still fairly small (albeit growing). And while some people do manage to start six-figure online businesses, you are far from guaranteed to earn much, if anything, especially in the beginning.

That said, if you could find 10 websites that pay $10,000 a year, then you could earn a six-figure income. Here are 10 potential sites to consider.

1. Constant Content: As a freelance writer, I can tell you that creating web content can be a very lucrative way to make money online. But you won’t likely make $10,000 a year on Constant Content just by selling articles to customers. Instead, you will need to land a few good, high-paying clients that can offer you ongoing work.
2. Kindle Direct Publishing: Being a freelance writer, I am a bit biased toward writing gigs. If you have a knack for writing interesting and/or informative books on topics that a lot of people want to read, then you have the potential of making some really good money as a self-published Kindle author.
3. eBay: My cousin once earned over $14,000 in a single year flipping flea market and auction finds on eBay. And that was $14,000 in profit!
4. Clickworker: If you are a rockstar worker on Clickworker who masters the UHRS platform, then you have the potential of earning $10,000 a year by completing web search evaluation tasks.
5. Appen: Sometimes, Appen has part-time work from home jobs — like search engine evaluation or social media ads evaluation. If you can land a contract position for a project that gives you enough hours, you can earn over 10 grand a year.
6. Lionbirdge: Another company that often has remote search engine evaluation jobs, in addition to translation and and localization freelancing opportunities. Pay varies based on project, but you can make $10,000 in a year if you land a long-term contract.
7. TTEC: TTEC usually has work from home jobs related to consumer service or digital services. It can be another good source of income for you when you are going through a dry spell.
8. Toptal: If you are one of the very best in your field, then you should consider joining Toptal as a premier freelancer. Unlike Fiverr and Upwork, freelancers on Toptal can potentially earn a lot more money from gigs.
9. Hubstaff Talent: Another freelancing platform that hires premier talent. Hubstaff Talent can connect freelancers with a wider range of projects. For example, the platform hires content writers, web developers, and mobile developers, just to name a few.
10. Guru: Finally, Guru is one of the oldest freelancing platforms on the internet. And like Toptal, if you are a “guru” in your niche, then you have an opportunity to earn over $10,000 a year working for clients on Guru.
