This article is specifically for Pakistanis who want to make money online and find online earning opportunities and websites in Pakistan without investment. It is divided into five sections, where different methods are discussed, including freelancing, blogging, vlogging and influencer marketing, and selling physical and digital products online. So, without wasting time, let’s get started.
01. Freelancing
The definition of freelancing is working for yourself, offering your skills and services to clients on a project-by-project basis rather than being a full-time employee of a company. Your skills and services can be anything that can be done remotely, like SEO and digital marketing services, web and graphic design services, etc. Freelancing is the easiest and quickest way to start your first online earning in Pakistan.
Fortunately, many freelancing websites are available in Pakistan, where every Pakistani can offer their skills and services to others and earn handsome amounts in dollars. These international freelancing websites have a huge number of users per month. Below is a list of some good freelancing websites available in Pakistan:
- Upwork: It is a platform for freelancers to find remote jobs in various industries. Freelancers bid on projects, clients choose and pay, while Upwork takes a fee. Upwork supports Pakistan and offers withdrawal methods via Payoneer and wire transfer.
- PeoplePerHour: It connects freelancers with clients for hourly projects. You create a profile, pitch for jobs, create gigs, and get paid through PayPal or Payoneer.
- Guru: It is another famous freelance marketplace that supports Pakistan. You can work on this platform using your brand name and easily withdraw your earnings to your Payoneer account.
- 99Designs: Pakistani designers! Showcase skills on 99Designs. Compete for design projects & get hired globally. Flexible pricing & secure payments let you build your freelance career. It supports payment methods such as Payoneer and Skrill for Pakistani freelancers.
- WorkChest: This freelance platform was created only for Pakistani freelancers by a Pakistani, Hisham Sarwar. Freelancers can offer their services competitively, attracting potential clients looking for quality work within their budget. The platform provides multiple options to withdraw earned dollars into the local Pakistani currency PKR and transfer earnings to local bank accounts.
02. Blogging
Blogging is creating a website that people can access to read your articles/posts on your website; that website is called a blog, and the person publishing articles on that site is called a blogger. The collective activity is called blogging. You can earn money online in Pakistan by blogging. There are several ways of earning money through blogging, including affiliate marketing, sponsored ads, Google Adsense, and guest postings. Some big blogs also offer premium content for their paid members.
Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate marketing allows you to generate money by advertising the products or services of other companies. Other companies or websites give you a unique trackable link, which you must add to your articles; when someone clicks and buys other companies’ products or services using that link, you get a commission. Here is a list of websites that offer affiliate marketing in Pakistan.
Earning via Sponsored Ads and Google Adsense:
You can generate revenue through sponsor ads and Google AdSense. With sponsored ads, companies pay you to display their ads on your site, which is normally determined by the site traffic and audience demographics. Earning money with Google AdSense is possible by embedding Google ads on your website. You will make money each time a visitor clicks on the ads or views them, and your payment will be calculated on a pay-per-click or cost-per-impression basis.
Guest Posts and Sponsored Links
You can monetize your website by selling guest posts or sponsored links. Companies or individuals will pay you to post or link their information on your site. This could help increase their rankings and visibility on search engines. You can negotiate the rates based on factors like your site’s domain authority, traffic, relevance to the audience, and so on. Guest posts and sponsored link sales will steadily generate revenue while adding content to your site, thus building its authority.
03. Earn Money via Vlogging and Influencer Marketing
Like blogging, where you can earn money online by publishing articles on your website, Vlogging is a term used for creating video content, publishing it on video platforms like YouTube and Facebook, and earning dollars by monetizing your videos. On the other hand, Influencer Marketing is also connected to Vlogging. First, we should talk about influencer and influencer marketing. An influencer is a person who has a constant presence on social media platforms with many followers. Influencer marketing is when businesses collaborate with influencers to endorse their products or services to their followers. The core of it is contemporary word-of-mouth marketing using trust and people’s opinions.
04. Selling Physical Products Online
There are multiple ways to sell physical products online and earn money in Pakistan. We are classifying those ways into two categories: first, the ways where you can start selling physical products without investment, and second, we list the ways that need some investment to start.
04>01. Ways for Selling Physical Products Online in Pakistan Without Investment
POD Marketplaces
Print on Demand (POD) is a business model where products are customized and produced only when customers order. POD usually uses digital printing technology, so designs or artwork are printed on various products, including t-shirts, mugs, phone cases, etc. With the advent of this technology, a customer who places an order will have their item printed, assembled, and shipped directly to them, often by a third-party POD service provider. And the person who made that design gets their commissions. The top 3 famous POD service providers are Redbubble, Teepublic, and Teesping. All these POD marketplaces are available in Pakistan and 100% free to start making money on their platforms. The withdrawal method is Payoneer.
Markaz App

Browse their catalogue, choose products you like, mark your profit margin, and share them with friends and family. Markaz is responsible for handling all the deliveries and receiving the payments.

Make Money with ChiChip
ChiChip is a website offering dropshipping and POD services (note: dropshipping is Haram in Islam, but it is also a way to earn money from ChipChip, so I’m mentioning it here). With this website, you can earn dollars online in Pakistan without investment. How does this website work? The answer to this question is not possible in just one line. This site gives you 3 ways of earning money: 1 is completely free, and the other 2 require a small yearly investment.
Free Method of Earning from ChipChip
The free method is print-on-demand (POD); this website also offers a POD marketplace like Redbubble and Teepublic, called TeeChip. You need to create high-quality, attractive designs that can be placed on t-shirts, mugs, hoodies, etc.. Sign up for free on ChipChip, go to the print-on-demand section, and you will see the option to select a website. Select TeeChip from the given drop-down menu; after choosing the site, you can start selecting and designing products from the available ChipChip catalogue. You can see your products in TeeChip’s marketplace when you upload your designs and select products. This site takes some time to review your design; after reviewing it, they will live your product.
Other 2 Methods of Earning from ChipChip That Need Small Yearly Amount
The other 2 methods are buying a domain from ChipChip and earning money with your brand and website. You only need to buy a domain from ChipChip. Unfortunately, you can’t buy a domain from any other domain registrar. Currently, ChipChip cannot connect a domain purchased from somewhere else. But the good news is, you don’t need a separate hosting to host your site. ChipChip has a built-in hosting and website builder. Once you buy a domain from ChipChip, you can set up your website within your ChipChip dashboard.
Now, ChipChip gives you two options: dropshipping and POD. You can start dropshipping and POD under your brand name. Just select products, add them to your store, market them, drive traffic, and earn money online at home. ChipChip will handle everything from product sourcing, packaging, and shipping to customer support. You can withdraw your earned money via Payoneer to your local bank accounts or JazzCash account.

Make Money with Facebook Groups, Marketplace, and OLX
Many people are unaware of the Facebook marketplace and the potential of Facebook groups. Nowadays, Pakistanis who know about these two things earn a lot of money by selling products through Facebook groups and the marketplace. Both of these earning methods from Facebook are simple and easy to implement. All you need is a smartphone and products to sell. If you don’t have products, you can collaborate with other shopowners and make a deal to sell their products and take your commissions; in other words, affiliate marketing but without a website. Take pictures of the products and upload them to Facebook, set the price, and wait for the customers to see and contact you. Like Facebook, you can also use OLX to sell products online for free.
