First step toward supplying your bank with additional income sources is to secure 2-3 online gigs.
The second step is to keep them warm.
When I say warm, I mean that you stay active and up to date with the company.
I have made the mistake of not returning to some pretty good online extra money earning jobs and then either lost my account status or I fell way behind on policy updates and expectations of the company.

Great list, Miranda! A lot of ‘work from home’ people are generating great incomes from their blogs. They first build their blog to get enough traffic, then they can promote affiliate links and possibly network marketing. These two types of passive income are powerful and often overlooked. Thanks again!
Thank you for this. Are there any companies that offer work at home jobs for people living in Africa?
