Hello Digifies readers, I am back with another hot topic today. As you know in Pakistan, due to recent high inflation and the worst devaluation of the local currency online jobs have become a popular choice for youngsters and students. The main reason behind the popularity of these online home-based jobs is that students can work any time of day and also online jobs provide them the opportunity to earn money in dollars rather than in local currency. Earning in dollars or any other foreign currency and spending in local currency makes it easy for students to beat inflation and meet their personal or family expenses. Another reason online jobs in Pakistan also help students to gain work experience, learn new skills, or explore their passion part-time when they have time. So in this article, I am going to share some in-demand best niches for online jobs for students in Pakistan.

There are 10 best online jobs that I believe are suitable for students. Below I am going to share the 10 best online home-based jobs with a short brief, that Pakistani students can do to support their studies related or family expenses.

You can offer lessons in mathematics, English, science, or any other subject for which you are an expert. You can find your students through freelance platforms and also mainly through your social media pages and personal website.

In social media management, your role will be to create regular content, schedule posts, engage with followers’ comments/feedback, and analyze metrics to optimize social media strategies.

I personally like graphic designing and currently, I am also offering my services on Fiverr as a graphic designer. Through graphic designing, I earned half a million dollars. But for graphic designing, you should be a creative person, you should be able to read clients’ minds and their imaginations about a design job. In graphic design, students can create business logos, social media designs, mascots, stationery designs, banners, infographics, or illustrations, for clients. To learn graphic designing you have to learn adobe illustrator and adobe photoshop software online through youtube or from an academy.
6-Data Entry
Data entry jobs are the easiest jobs for students to earn some part-time income. You just need a laptop and an internet connection and an understanding of the English language.

Usually, data entry jobs that are available for students are entering business information into spreadsheets, transcribing documents, converting files to other files, writing pdf files, or organizing scattered data. Data entry jobs are always easy and more flexible in terms of working hours and location.

Website development jobs are related to students who are doing computer system engineering Students, software engineering, and IT students. Students who are in 10th/12th grade or youngsters who are not students can also do these jobs but you have to learn coding and web development skills first. By learning languages like HTML, CSS, PHP, JAVASCRIPT, PYTHON, etc you can create websites for individuals, small businesses, or non-profit organizations. To learn these languages you have to spend around 3-6 months of your time. The best and easy way to learn these languages is to learn from Youtube otherwise you can also join any local academy for this purpose.

Content creation is a versatile term. If you are able to create any type of content such as videos, podcasts, social media posts, or blog posts then you can provide these services during your studies. You can create content for tik tok stars, social media pages, celebrities, or for different businesses. To create content you have to be creative and should know about video editing, and graphic designing. During your studies, you can also create content for your own YouTube channels, podcasts, blogs, etc. If you are a YouTuber or blogger then you can monetize your content to earn income from online advertisements. I’ll recommend at the student level you should go for content creation and start your own blog or youtube channel. In a few years, you will be able to earn a regular handsome income if you are consistent and your niche is good.
9-Online Surveys
Big companies around the globe or big brands always spend on market research and surveys.
