Some of the links on here are affiliate links and I may earn if you click on them.
AT NO EXTRA cost to you. I hope you find the information here useful! Thank you!
One great thing about the Internet is that it has allowed people from all over the world to make money working online from home or remotely.
I live in South Africa, and when I scroll through my social media, I see many South Africans looking for legitimate ways to make money online.
Thanks to the internet, not only do many South Africans make money online in the comfort of their homes, but all over the world make money working online.
Nothing is more frustrating than finding a way to make money online or work from home only to find out that it’s not available in your country.
Many people from all over the world want to work online from home, so I have put together this list of ways to make money online anywhere in the world. I hope this post will give you ideas on how to make money.
Although I have tried to find ways for people worldwide to make money, I cannot guarantee that they will work in every country.
ySense.
ySense is open to people from many different countries around the world, including South Africa.
ySense is an easy site for beginners; no special skills are needed. There are several ways to make money on ySense like:
Online surveys
Taking part in offers
Playing games
Searching the web
Micro tasks
Make money by referring your family and friends.
WHICH COUNTRIES IS ySENSE OPEN TO?
You can join ySense from any country in the world!
ySense does have a list of ‘top tier countries’. When you refer a member from these countries, you will earn more money than those from lesser-tier countries. Also, keep in mind that some countries have more surveys and offers.
As a South African, I tend to find few surveys, and I often don’t qualify even after answering many pre-screening questions. I do earn money from referrals.
The top tier countries are:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States.
But again, you can join from any country, so don’t worry if you don’t see yours here 🙂
How to get paid?
You can withdraw cash to your PayPal or Payoneer account. Or you might also have the option to claim your earnings in Amazon vouchers or other gift cards, depending on your country.
InstaGC
InstaGC is another global ‘get paid to’ site that is open internationally.
There are so many different ways to earn with InstaGC, including:
- Surveys
- Download apps
- Watch videos
- Clicking and visiting websites

As with ySense, just note that availability of some of theses offers offers depends on your country.
But with so many ways to earn, there are bound to be some options that work for you!
Which countries does InstaGC work in?
You can join InstaGC from any country supported by PayPal, except for China and Vietnam. (Here’s a list of all the PayPal countries, by the way.)
You can join from age 13 if you have parental consent.
This makes InstaGC one of the most accessible money making sites I know!
How to get paid
You can get paid to your PayPal account, in various gift cards, or even Bitcoin, depending on your country.
PrizeRebel
Here is another global money making site for you!
PrizeRebel is similar to the other sites above. There are lots of different small tasks you can do to earn points, which you then exchange for cash.
Here are the main ways to earn on PrizeRebel:
- Surveys
- Offer walls (signing up for trials, etc)
- Tasks
- Watching videos
- Daily points
- Contests
- Referrals
Which countries does PrizeRebel work in?
PrizeRebel is open to users all over the world.
They state that they do not have surveys in all countries; however, you can still earn money with tasks, referrals and so on.
How to get paid
PayPal, gift cards or online gaming credit.
SerpClix
SerpClix is a website where you get paid to click!
You just have to search Google, click on certain websites and then spend a minute or so on that site.
SerpClix pays between $0.10 and $0.05 per click. You can also earn money from referrals.
This is a genuine way to earn money online from anywhere in the world, and so easy! You won’t earn loads of money doing this, but since it’s so easy, you can use SerpClix while watching TV or doing other things.
Which countries can join SerpClix?
You can join SerpClix from any country!
That said, they only pay via PayPal. So if you live in one of the few countries where PayPal is not supported, then unfortunately there is not much point in joining SerpClix.
How to get paid
You will need to fill out your PayPal email address when you sign up to SerpClix. Then, you will receive your payment to your PayPal account automatically at the beginning of each month, so long as you’ve earned at least $5 the previous month.
Clickworker
Clickworker is a site where you can get paid to complete various small tasks. You will work on a freelance basis. Simply log in whenever you like, and complete any tasks that are available.
Here are just a few of the types of tasks you might get on Clickworker:
- Creating or correcting texts
- Categorising data
- Internet research
- Recording audio or video clips
- Proofreading
- Surveys
- Testing apps
When you join Clickworker, be sure to fill out your profile fully in order to access the widest range of tasks. Also, you will have the opportunity to take some small assessments, which will qualify you for more tasks.
There is also a section of Clickworker called UHRS. This is a partner company of Clickworker which offers similar tasks.
Users report that UHRS tasks are generally very well paid – so if you have this opportunity, take it!
However, UHRS is not available in all countries. There is no up-to-date list of UHRS countries, because it changes depending on the jobs.
Which countries can join Clickworker?
Clickworker accepts workers from any country, so long as you can receive payment by PayPal, Transferwise, or SEPA (Single Euro Payment Area) bank transfer.
However, some of the individual jobs on Clickworker have country requirements. And sometimes they will temporarily disable registration from certain countries if there are no jobs available.
If this is the case when you try to register, you can just try again at another time and see if any global jobs have opened up.
How to get paid
With Clickworker you are paid automatically every week, if you have earned over 5 EUR (for PayPal) or 10 EUR (bank transfer).
Remotasks
Remotasks is another site where you can earn money by completing small micro-tasks.
Some examples of these micro-tasks are:
- categorising images
- data collection
- transcription
- drawing bounding boxes
You will have to complete some training and pass an online test before you can access some types of tasks.
The rate of pay varies by task. When I was researching this post, I found some people who claimed to earn as much as $10 per hour with certain tasks! But they also stated that other tasks took a lot of time, and did not pay well.
If you join this site, try to take part in as many different kinds of tasks as possible to find what works for you.
I couldn’t check out Remotasks myself, because it’s not available in my country (UK)! So if you have any experience with this site, please share in the comments 🙂
Which countries can join Remotasks?
Remotasks is not available worldwide, but it is available in many countries where it can be difficult to find online work.
I found this list of countries accepted by Remotasks in 2020:
Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Barbados, Bulgaria, Bolivia, Brazil, Bahamas, Botswana, Belize, Cote d’Ivoire, Chile, Cambodia, Cameroon, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Haiti, Hungary, Indonesia, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Laos, Lebanon, Lithuania, Morocco, Madagascar, North Macedonia, Mauritius, Malawi, Mexico, Malaysia, Namibia, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Netherlands, Nepal, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Pakistan, Poland, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Paraguay, Romania, Rwanda, Senegal, Serbia, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Suriname, El Salvador, Spain, Eswatini, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Trinidad & Tobago, Tanzania, UAE, Uganda, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

The great thing about Remotasks is that there is no minimum payment threshold! You will receive your money automatically each week, even if you only have $0.01 in your account.
GG2U claim that their surveys are highly paid compared to other sites, because they pass along a higher percentage of the money they get from the survey companies.
Timebucks
Timebucks is yet another GPT site 😉
In my experience, it is not very high paying. However, it’s worth checking out because it has a few fun and unique ways to earn that I haven’t seen on other sites, such as posting to TikTok and watching slideshows.
Here are just some of the ways to earn on Timebucks:
- Post on TikTok
- Post on Instagram

With so many different ways to earn, there should be plenty of options for you in your country.

Timebucks pay out weekly, and the payment threshold is just $10.
Depending on your country, you can choose from payment methods including Payeer, Bitcoin, Skrill, Neteller, AirTM, TangoCard and bank transfer.
There’s currently a $1 bonus for signing up.
Fiverr
Fiverr is a global services marketplace where you can sell basically any service or small task you can think of!
It’s called Fiverr because the basic price of a ‘gig’ or Fiverr job is set at $5. But you can easily make more by including upsells, enhanced packages, quicker processing time, and so on.
Fiverr is more work that the other sites on this list, but it can also be a LOT more profitable.
If you have any traditional freelance skills, this is one good place to find clients.
Here are a few of the most common gigs on Fiverr:
- Writing
- Translation
- SEO services (link building, etc)
- Building websites or apps
- Voice overs
- Video or photo editing
- Logo design
But even if you don’t have any of these skills, there are lots of unique and fun gig ideas you can offer.
Since we’re talking about making money worldwide, why not use your location to your advantage!
Wherever you are in the world, there are probably people in other places who are interested in your country – or who need help from a local. So why not offer a gig unique to your location?
Here are some ideas for cool international Fiverr gigs you could offer, based on real gigs I found that are making sales!
As far as I’m aware, there are no country restrictions for joining Fiverr. It seems that you can become a Fiverr seller from anywhere in the world.
Usability testing
Usability testing is an easy and fun online job. It involves checking out different websites and apps, and talking about any problems that you experience.
There are many different websites to find usability testing jobs. One company that I want to recommend here is Userlytics, because I know that they recruit testers from any country in the world.
You can find lots more companies listed in this post, but you will need to check the entry requirements of each site individually.
User testing jobs can go quickly, so try to accept each task as soon as they become available.
How to make a full time income online from anywhere in the world
So far, we’ve mainly talked about international money making sites and paid survey sites, and other easy ways to make money online.
These sites have some great advantages.
For example, you don’t need any qualifications or experience. You can work on them at any time of night or day. They are a very easy, low commitment way for to start making money online, especially for beginners.
However, the down side is that these kinds of money making sites don’t pay very well. They are OK if you just want to make a little extra money. And with a lot of work, some people even make a few hundred dollars each month.
But it’s difficult to make a good living from these kinds of websites (maybe with the exception of Fiverr).
If you want to make a full time income online, I recommend starting some kind of online business.
Now, that doesn’t have to be scary! There are lots of online businesses you can start with little or no money.
And with an online business, it doesn’t matter where in the world you live. You can sell products or services to people all over the world. You can potentially reach millions of customers in different countries from you.
Here are some ideas for online businesses you can start from anywhere in the world:
- Blogging (my top recommendation!)
- Print on demand
- Virtual Assistant
- Affiliate marketing
- Dropshipping
- Drop servicing
- Selling digital downloads (e.g. printable art, printable planner pages etc, on Etsy or your own website)
- Selling info products (e.g. ebooks or online courses)
How to get paid internationally
I live in the UK, but I regularly receive payments from companies and clients in the US and other countries. A lot of people ask me how that works when I don’t have an American bank account.
Here are the most useful two methods I use receive money internationally:
PayPal
I don’t need to say too much about PayPal, because I’m sure you already know about it! This is the easiest way to get paid online, and it is used by most of the sites on this page.
PayPal is available in over 200 countries. Here is the full list.
Payoneer
Payoneer is a very cool service that enables you to receive payments from companies that require a US bank account.
With a Payoneer account, it essentially works like a US bank account for you – even if you don’t live in the US.
You can receive payments via bank transfer from American companies into your Payoneer account, and then withdraw the funds into your local bank account in your local currency.
You can also receive payments from the UK, EU, Japan, Canada, Australia and Mexico.
It’s free to open the account, but there is a small commission fee when you withdraw money.
I use Payoneer all the time, especially to receive payments in USD from Amazon for my blogging and Merch by Amazon (print on demand) businesses, and I really recommend them.
If you sign up with my referral link here, you and I will both earn a $25 bonus once you meet their conditions.
Payoneer supports withdrawal to local accounts in over 150 countries. You can check whether your country is included here.
