The article discusses strategies for earning $50 per day by working from home, emphasizing consistent, focused work and leveraging social media to showcase one's portfolio.

Abstract

The article titled "50 Per Day By Working From Home" suggests that earning a substantial income from home is achievable through strategic daily activities. It dismisses common misconceptions about quick money-making schemes and instead promotes a pattern observed among successful freelancers, which involves building credibility by regularly sharing one's work on social media. The author cites the example of a woman who turned a rejected logo design into a successful merchandise business by sharing her story online. The article also offers an alternative approach for those uncomfortable with public exposure: creating and pitching work samples to potential clients privately. It emphasizes the importance of persistence and the potential for a single positive response to lead to daily earnings of 50. The author encourages readers to support their work by becoming Medium members, which benefits both the writer and the reader.

$50 Per Day By Working From Home

Where you focus your energy makes the difference

After browsing many articles with a similar title, it is natural to think $50 per day is impossible. You might assume I will tell you about taking surveys. Or I will suggest writing for a platform like Newsbreak or Vocal. But believe me, I have tried. I even wrote about my uphill battle with Newsbreak. It all started when they challenged their algorithm. But rather than lead with negativity, I led with positivity:

Anyway. Some “fast” ways to money waste your time. Yet, freelancers make money in several ways. But most of the successful ones repeat a pattern. Whether designers, writers, or engineers, one approach works for them. The great news is this strategy can work for you as well. You do not have to wait for new monetized platforms to get built. You can start earning $50 per day if you commit to the challenge. Are you ready?

Doable 40 minute daily activity (Public)

You can add one piece to your work portfolio. When you have updated your folder, talk about the recent addition on social media. I know your life can get busy. You may decide to spend 35 minutes on the piece. Then talk about your creation process. Or inspiration in a caption you spent 5 minutes writing.

A woman (@itsgrovy on TikTok) created a logo for her best friend’s boba shop, but the friend rejected it. The woman shared the logo and her story on Twitter. People left comments asking if they could get the logo on tote bags. Someone even got the logo tattooed on their arm.

She took action fast and built a website in four days. The venture has grown into a grovy merch business. Before you, call the Grovy Business owner lucky for having her story break through the noise of the internet fast. Let me say. She joined Twitter in June 2014, has 11.6 tweets, a follower count of 7,275, and follows 439 people. Here is her story:

If you build your credibility by showing your work daily for a few months or years, a story of yours may go viral. Then, people may reach out to work with you. Afterward, you can charge them $50 or more, depending on your offer.

Another doable 40 minute daily activity (Private)

Building in public is not ideal for everyone. If you are afraid to get judged by your friends who are also your followers on social apps, create in private.

What do you do well? Who could gain from your services? Create a specific work sample in 40 minutes one day. The following day, research the company for 25 minutes. Then, for the remainder of the time, create and send a warm email pitch with your work sample attached.

PS. This article can help you write short cold emails that feel warm.

The client may entertain the idea of working with you. And have you undertake the project for them. You may experience some rejection, but you only need one yes to make $50 per day.
