By Mary-Rose Ilaya

There are high income skills that you can learn and start making cool cash in the range of six figures, and no degree is required whatsoever! All that is needed is the knowledge to perform the required tasks. The beautiful thing is that this knowledge is acquired online.

Worth noting is that, even with a degree, everyone needs to establish a side hustle, that will help them generate multiple income streams, hence, achieving their financial goals quickly. Learning these high income skills will do just that for you.

Additionally, these high income skills can enable you to work remotely, at the comfort of your home.

In this article we will look at four high income skills that don’t require a degree, and I will educate you on where you can learn them for free. Let’s jump right into it;

Copy-writing

This is a specialized form of writing that is done with the sole purpose of selling a product. It is a high income skill in the world of marketing, with the top earners getting both a flat fee and commission. A high level copywriter can charge $10,000 for a copy and a 2% commission on the total sales. This may seem minute to you, but when the total sales are like $5,000,000 the top level copywriter can comfortably take home $10,000 flat fee and $100,000 in commission from one project!

Related areas you can also function in are; content creation, content marketing, digital marketing, social media marketing, email marketing and online course creation where you can teach people the art of copy-writing.

Graphic Design

Graphic designers create visual elements for both online and offline advertisements. However, to go into this you need to have some form of artistic talent, to enable you blend colors. The designers at the top level of this skill call themselves brand identity designers and they are basically in charge of the image of a company, from logos to company colors – ideally, everything branding.

Web design/web developing

A web designer is someone who creates websites, using website builders such as Wix, WordPress and square space. The people who learn this skill further are called web developers. They can make websites from scratch. They are tech gurus that are versed in JavaScript, CSS and other platforms like Ruby on Rails or Joomla. It is a much more technical approach to websites than web design.

Affiliate Marketing

This is what comes to the mind of most people when they think of how they can make money online. Affiliate marketing is one of the ways of making money via the internet, and this is because you get paid a commission to sell someone else’s goods and services online.

Where you can learn the above skills

There are several companies and organizations that teach the above skills online, and some of them do it for free, and offer certifications for the skills acquired. The certification is very useful when starting out.

How can you make money from the above skills?

You can offer your skills on freelance platforms like Fiverr, and Up work, in exchange for money.

Do note that not every skill will bring in big bucks from the start. You will have to work your way gradually to the top. There is no substitute for hard work. To earn big, you have to be deserving of it. You have to put in the work! Personal branding plays a big role in the earnings.

There are so many other high income skills that did not make it to my list. Please name them in the comment section. Thank You.
