Most all online hiring is by who you know, not what you know. Seek out connections within your social network, and if possible, expand your connections. The market is tough. Good luck.

Hello Shabir AHMAD Malik Very interesting conversation. If you would like to make money from your wealth of experience post PhD studies, then you need to start consulting for clients within your field of expertise. At least, that is where you have measurable skills and experience.

You have an excellent (and direct) approach to the essential issue of earning money online—which can help you a great deal. If you are planning to use your education, I believe that you look at this issue too narrowly. I completely agree with Dr. David Coker in that it's not so much what you know as whom you know. For example, to an outsider, it may seem that I earn some of my income online, but that’s not how it began. Most of my clients (I often write proposals, rebuttals, letters of inquiry, website content, and so on) are my personal and professional connections. Admittedly, as time went by, the people who know me personally recommended me to other clients, many of whom I had never met. Most importantly, you should understand that holding a doctorate, you can—and should—create jobs for yourself, rather than look for them. For instance, (1) many countries either recommend or require for teachers to take continuing education courses. You can design such courses and then offer them to teachers through schools or other organizations. Regarding specific platforms, you can use any platform that would be suitable to your lesson design. I have been organizing and/or teaching continuing education courses for medical providers first in person and then, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online. After some consideration and experimentation, I ended up creating a series of courses in PDF format, because my clients, as I had realized, prefer to read the course material rather than participate physically or watch courses. The most of my clients have known me for years, and they would probably not trust me otherwise. (2) Try designing various either research or programs that can be useful to certain populations, such as courses for parents of children with special needs. You can contact your local government with specific ideas for collaborations. Regarding research projects, collaborating with other experts can greatly improve your chances of attracting funding. Again, to an outsider, it may seem that you’ll be earning money online, but in reality you’ll be working and communicating with real people who can benefit from your expertise. I hope this helps.

Dear Shabir Hallo, As you have mentioned that you are a PhD in psychology, i will suggest that you start your own YouTube channel in which you can mention all the psychological questionnaires you can endorse, how to use them, and how to evaluate them. Including how one can achieve them properly, as most people use such questionnaires from unauthentic sources. In due course, you will get publicity, and other people will also gain knowledge. As new researchers are not aware of so many facts, other answers have already been provided by the experts, and I agree to them.

Actually, your educational field should be enough for you to earn money online easily. However, to render online educational services that can fetch you money required the followings:

1. You need to have a teaching subject or language to teach to both primary and secondary school students, and you will need to combine or use your counselling experience to guide your students life.

2. You need to build a strong relationship with their parents and advertise yourself as a coach and trainer.

3. Exhibit a high level of work ethics and values, and not just money oriented.

You can also benefit from other colleagues opinion, in terms creating your personal YouTube, presenting psychological research, etc. But if you want to direct impact, i think you will need to our children as your observational research.
