Top 5 Free Websites Every Beginner Should Explore to Start Earning Online

 

Introduction

Starting an online earning journey can feel overwhelming, especially when you have no investment and little guidance. As a student who recently completed matric, I faced the same struggle. I tried many platforms — some worked, others didn’t. Through trial and error, I discovered a few free and beginner-friendly websites that helped me begin my online work journey. In this post, I’ll share the top 5 free websites that are excellent for beginners who want to earn online — especially students like me.

1. Blogger.com – Share Your Voice Through Blogging

Blogger is a free blogging platform owned by Google. It allows you to create and publish blog posts on any topic — whether it’s education, lifestyle, tech, or your personal journey.

Why I recommend it:

  • Completely free to use

  • Simple interface for beginners

  • Option to apply for Google AdSense for monetization

  • Great for improving writing skills

💡 Tip: Be consistent with your blog posts and share them with others to increase traffic.

2. Medium.com – Write and Earn Through Reading Time

Medium is another blogging platform, but with a different model. Here, you can earn through the Medium Partner Program, where writers are paid based on how much time people spend reading their stories.

Why it’s useful:

  • No need for website setup or technical knowledge

  • Global audience

  • Great for personal stories, helpful guides, and opinion pieces

💡 Tip: Write with honesty. Readers love real experiences and practical tips.

3. Canva.com – Create Professional Designs for Free

Canva is an online design tool that helps you create graphics, posters, flyers, and more — no design experience needed.

Why I love Canva:

  • User-friendly drag-and-drop interface

  • Thousands of free templates

  • Excellent for bloggers and social media posts

  • A real skill that can lead to paid freelance work

💡 Tip: Start with blog banners or thumbnails, then try freelance gigs on platforms like Workchest.

4. Workchest.com – A Freelance Platform for Pakistanis

Workchest is a freelancing website made specifically for Pakistani freelancers by Hisham Sarwar. You can offer services like typing, graphic design, writing, and more.

Key features:

  • Focused on Pakistani users

  • Easier to start than Fiverr or Upwork

  • No withdrawal issues with local payments

💡 Tip: Start with small services like typing or PDF to Word conversions.

5. YouTube – Learn Everything for Free

YouTube is not just for fun — it's a free learning platform with unlimited resources. I personally use it daily to learn about blogging, freelancing, and online skills.

Why YouTube is valuable:

  • Free tutorials in both English and Urdu

  • Learn anything from typing to designing

  • Helps you stay updated with new online trends

💡 Tip: Follow one trusted YouTube teacher at a time to avoid confusion.

Conclusion

The journey of earning online may be slow in the beginning, but with patience and consistency, it becomes rewarding. These five websites helped me grow my knowledge, skills, and confidence — all without spending a single rupee.

If you're a beginner looking to start, choose one or two platforms from this list and explore them today. Keep learning, keep trying, and most importantly — don’t give up.
