9 cách kiếm tiền “tại gia” dễ dàng

Việc kiếm tiền để bảo đảm cuộc sống ắt hẳn sẽ khiến bạn nghĩ đến chuyện ra ngoài bươn chải và bon chen. Tuy nhiên, có những cách kiếm tiền vô cùng độc đáo, sáng tạo mà không cần phải “xuất ngoại”.

• Thời điểm thích hợp để nghỉ việc
• Làm gì khi công việc là "địa ngục" đối với bạn ?
• Bí quyết “làm giàu” trong 24 giờ

Dưới đây là 9 cách kiếm tiền như thế!

Huấn luyện viên nghề nghiệp Kathy của trung tâm tìm việc NewYork chia sẻ: “Chúng tôi đã dành thời gian nghiên cứu và chọn lọc ra 9 công việc mà theo chúng tôi là có tính khả thi nhất để không chỉ giúp những người trưởng thành kiếm tiền một cách dễ dàng, mà còn giúp các em thanh thiếu niên tập bước những bước đầu tiên vào thế giới kinh doanh. Đó sẽ là bệ phóng cho những ý tưởng tuyệt vời tiếp theo”.

1. Viết văn, viết báo, viết truyện…

Nếu bạn là người có khiếu viết lách, bạn yêu những điều lãnh mạn hoặc bạn muốn tham gia vào công cuộc phơi bày những góc khuất của xã hội qua lăng kính chủ quan của bản thân. Thì viết văn, sáng tác truyện và viết các chuyên mục trên báo là công việc phù hợp dành cho bạn. Bạn sẽ có thể vừa thỏa mãn sự đam mê vừa kiếm tiền trang trải sinh hoạt hàng ngày. Còn gì thú vị hơn bằng việc ngồi nhà và gặt hái thành quả.

2. Nhà nghiên cứu Internet

Nhiều trang web hiện nay đang thiếu hụt những người nghiên cứu chuyên sâu về Internet. Bởi, nghiên cứu đòi hỏi rất nhiều kiên nhẫn và sự siêng năng thu thập thông tin về một chủ đề cụ thể. Đây sẽ là cơ hội cho những người am hiểu sâu xa về Internet và thường xuyên tiếp xúc với thành tựu bậc nhất của nhân loại.

“Một điều đáng chú ý là những người làm nghiên cứu về mạng cần có kiến thức chuyên sâu về lập trình web và các thẻ HTML. Ngoài ra, một nhà nghiên cứu Internet phải thông thạo về thuật ngữ và biết cách tối ưu hóa công cụ tìm kiếm. Việc đầu tiên bạn cần làm để bắt đầu công việc của mình là lập một trang web riêng và để trang web hiện diện trên Internet”. Kathy nói.

3. Buôn bán hàng qua mạng

Đây là công việc được nhiều bạn trẻ ứng dụng với nhiều kết quả bất ngờ. Bạn có thể vừa ngồi ở nhà vừa giao dịch với khách hàng. Chọn lựa cho mình một mặt hàng yêu thích để buôn bán. Đó có thể là quần áo, giày dép, túi xách hoặc đồ điện, đồ dùng sinh hoạt..tất cả công việc mà bạn phải làm đó là chọn một trang web và đăng ký mua tên miền trên trang web đó để bày bán sản phẩm.

4. Làm nghề thủ công

Rất nhiều xưởng làm đồ thủ công cần thợ có tay nghề và một điều đặc biệt là họ cho phép thợ mang về nhà làm sau một thời gian uốn nắn và hướng dẫn các thao tác. Nếu bạn là một người có kiên nhẫn và khéo léo tại sao lại không thử sức với công việc này.

Ngoài ra, rất nhiều bạn thanh thiếu niên chọn cách làm đồ hand-made (đồ tự tạo) để kiếm tiền như làm thiệp, làm hộp quà, hộp bút, vòng tay…Đó quả là một ý tưởng thông minh vì vừa thõa mãn đam mê vừa giúp gia đình, bản thân kiếm thêm thu nhập.

5. Dùng blog để kiếm tiền quảng cáo

Viết blog (nhật ký trực tuyến) có thể đã trở thành thói quen hàng ngày của nhiều bạn trẻ. Tuy nhiên dùng blog để kiếm tiền thì ít ai nghĩ tới. Huấn luyện viên Kathy chia sẻ: “ Đây là cách tốt nhất để kinh doanh tại nhà. Bắt đầu với chi phí tối thiểu nhưng hiệu quả lại rất cao. Nếu bạn thu hút được càng nhiều người vào thăm blog, tăng chỉ số view và lượng người truy cập, tự nhiên bạn sẽ thu hút được quảng cáo từ một số đối tượng và “dắt túi” một số tiền kha khá”.

6. Cổ phiếu, trái phiếu và thị trường liên kết

Đây cũng là một cách giúp bạn ngồi nhà mà vẫn kiếm được tiền. Tuy nhiên trước khi bước chân vào lĩnh vực này, bạn cần làm một cuộc nghiên cứu toàn diện về bản chất, cơ cấu của thị trường chứng khoán để không mắc phải những sai lầm đáng tiếc.

7. Mở lớp học năng khiếu

Đó có thể là lớp dạy khiêu vũ, dạy múa ba lê, dạy nhảy hoặc bất kỳ môn học nào liên quan đến năng khiếu. Các nguồn lực cần thiết để mở một lớp học đó là một căn phòng rộng (tùy thuộc số lượng học viên), hệ thống âm thanh, đèn chiếu sáng và một giáo viên tài năng.

8. Dạy học (gia sư)

Đây là cách kiếm tiền thiết thực nhất đối với những bạn trẻ (đặc biệt là sinh viên). Bạn có thể dùng chính kiến thức mà mình thu nhận được để giảng dạy cho các thế hệ sau mà không cần qua đào tạo chuyên nghiệp. Yêu cầu cần thiết đối với nghề dạy (gia sư) đó là kinh nghiệm, sự kiên nhẫn, vốn kiến thức và niềm đam mê.

9. Làm thiết kế

Kathy nói: “ Nếu bạn được trời phú một đôi bàn tay khéo léo, một cái đầu sáng tạo và một đôi chân nhanh nhạy thì thiết kế sẽ là công việc dành riêng cho bạn. Bạn có thể thiết kế quần áo, giày dép, túi xách, đồ nội thất…và đăng tải những ý tưởng của mình lên một trang web quảng cáo. Hoặc nếu bạn có vốn, hãy mạnh dạn mở một cửa hiệu cho riêng mình. Những thiết kế độc đáo và “có một không hai” của bạn sẽ là tem bảo đảm cho một sự thành công lớn trong tương lai”.

Georgia leader 'confident of win'

Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili has said he is confident of victory in the country's snap election after exit polls gave him a commanding lead.

The polls suggest he won 53.7% of the vote, which if confirmed by official results would give him an outright win.

But the opposition said there were serious violations and called its supporters to hold a street protest.

The vote is seen as a democratic test for the ex-USSR state after recent opposition protests were suppressed.

'Big lie'

The BBC's Matthew Collin in Tbilisi says there has been a mood of celebration around Mr Saakashvili's campaign headquarters, with people waving flags and cars tooting their horns.

Georgians in Tbilisi talk about their voting intentions In pictures

But no official results have yet been published and Mr Saakashvili has not claimed victory.

He said he would wait for the final results but was confident of victory without a run-off against his nearest rival.

Analysts are urging caution, as 20% of respondents in the exit poll refused to say who they had voted for, and opposition denounced the survey as a "big lie".

Opposition candidate Levan Gachechiladze, who the pollsters say won 28% of the vote, has accused the government of trying to rig the election.

He said after voting that his supporters were recording numerous violations around the country, and urged them to take to the streets for a mass protest on Sunday afternoon.

The authorities have denied allegations of fraud, and acting President Nino Burjanadze told the BBC that the elections had been "free, fair and democratic".

But our correspondent says that after a bitter and divisive election the dispute seems certain to continue.

HAVE YOUR SAY I have voted for the future, for democracy. There is a great change in Georgia and I support all of it Otto, London Send us your comments

Mr Saakashvili called the election after huge opposition protests were suppressed in November, in an attempt to prove his democratic credentials.

Along with the presidential election, Georgians are being asked to vote on whether they should have a parliamentary election in the coming months, and whether the country should join Nato.

Hundreds of foreign observers have been monitoring the ballot.

Mr Saakashvili, a US-educated lawyer, came to power after street protests in 2003, dubbed the Rose Revolution.

His term as president has seen Georgia strengthen its ties with Nato and the European Union.

But relations with Moscow have soured and Georgia's economy has been badly hit by a Russian ban on Georgian goods.

Iranian Jews find new homes in Israel

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) -- Greeted by joyous relatives and a crowd of reporters, about 40 Iranian Jews landed in Israel on Tuesday, leaving behind their lives in the Islamic republic for new homes in the Jewish state.

Iranian Jews, who didn't want to be identified, arrive at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv, Israel, on Tuesday.

Family members screamed in delight and threw candy at the newcomers as they emerged into the airport reception hall after a long bureaucratic procedure. No details about their route of exit from Iran were given.

"I feel so good," said Yosef, 16. He and his brother Michael arrived with their parents and a sister and were greeted by their grandparents, who went to Israel six years ago.

"I just saw all of my family. You can't put that into words," Yosef said. The brothers declined to give their family name to protect relatives still in Iran.

The new arrivals were sponsored by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a charity that funnels millions of dollars from evangelical donors each year.

Its founder, Rabbi Yehiel Eckstein, said by telephone from Chicago, Illinois, that each immigrant received $10,000 because they left behind all their possessions and "start in Israel with nothing," although many said at the airport that they were joining family already here.

Evangelical backers of Israel say they are following a biblical prophecy that the creation of a Jewish state here is a step toward the Messianic Age. Some Israeli critics saying their ultimate goal is to convert Jews to Christianity, which the evangelicals deny.

Michael, 15, said he told all his friends where he was going, and they wanted to come along.

"I was scared in Iran as a Jew," he said.

No comment was available Tuesday from the Iranian government.

Iran's Jewish community of about 25,000 people is protected by the country's constitution and remains the largest in the Muslim Middle East. Synagogues, Jewish schools and stores operate openly in the capital, but Jews also report discrimination and increasing concerns about hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's hostility toward Israel.

About 200 Iranian Jews arrived in Israel this year, more than any other year since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, said Michael Jankelowitz, spokesman for the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency, which deals with immigration.

Benjamin Yakobi, 16, has lived in Israel seven years. As he waited for his cousin, he said Israel is safer than Iran.

"Here we are all Jewish, and we are not worried that someone will do something," he said.

"I'm in heaven," gushed Avraham Dayan, 63, as he waited for his son, daughter-in-law and grandson to arrive. He said he had not seen his 38-year-old son in 11 years, missing his son's wedding and the birth of his grandson.

The newcomers were also mobbed by Israeli reporters and TV camera crews. Their arrival was the top story on the evening newscast of Israel's Channel 2 TV. Television pictures broadcast locally did not show their faces, reflecting concern that publicity could lead to harm of Jews still in Iran.

Meir Javedanfar, an Israeli analyst whose family emigrated from Iran in the 1980s, said Jews are generally free to practice their religion inside Iran, but are increasingly concerned about the intensity of attacks on Israel by the Iranian press, which they view as bordering on anti-Semitism, he said.

But Eckstein warned that the situation facing Iranian Jews is critical because of the attitude of Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called for the disappearance of Israel. Despite a recent U.S. intelligence report that found Iran has stopped its nuclear weapons program, Israel believes Iran is still trying to build a nuclear bomb.

"By the time they realize it's not going to blow over, it'll be too late," Eckstein said. "All it needs is a U.S. or Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear program for them to come down strong on the local Jewish population."

In 2000, Iranian authorities arrested 10 Jews, convicted them of spying for Israel and sentenced them to prison terms ranging from four to 13 years. An appeals court later reduced their sentences under international pressure and eventually freed them.

Ethiopia PM attacks UN on Somalia

Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has accused the UN of playing a damaging role in the Somali crisis.

"The situation there - as hard as it is - it could do with less hype and exaggeration," he told the BBC.

It is nearly a year since Mr Meles sent troops to help Somalia's government oust Islamists from much of Somalia.

The UN now says persistent fighting between insurgents and Ethiopian-backed forces in Mogadishu has created Africa's worst humanitarian crisis.

The organisation has estimated that 60% of the city's residents have fled their homes.

There has not been any indiscriminate firing on our side because it would be completely suicidal for us Ethiopian PM Meles Zenawi

On Wednesday the UN children's fund called for the creation of safe zones for about 1.5m children, whose lives it says have been affected by conflict.

But Mr Meles said the UN's stance was counter-productive and he called on the organisation to play a more "positive role" in the country.

"At the moment some UN agencies appear to be doing damage in respect of parroting totally unfounded reports by some agencies without in any way trying to verify the facts," Mr Meles said.

Somalia has been politically fragmented since 1991 and the country's transitional government, faced with an insurgency, is dependent on international aid and Ethiopian military support.

'Regrettable'

The BBC's East Africa correspondent Karen Allen says Ethiopia's economy is buoyant and the country is still basking in the glory of celebrating its millennium this year.

The Ethiopians are not popular in Somalia

But the country is still largely in the spotlight because of its involvement in Somalia and its efforts to drive the Union of Islamic Courts from power, she says.

Speaking nearly a year after the invasion, Mr Meles denied that Ethiopia had underestimated the strength of the Islamists.

"Our initial plans were designed to curtail the influence of the jihadists there and to try to prevent them from taking the whole of Somalia under their control. We did that in a number of weeks," he said in an interview with the BBC.

He also denied accusations that his troops were involved in the indiscriminate shooting of civilians.

"There has not been any indiscriminate firing on our side because it would be completely suicidal for us to engage in such an activity.

"Our intention is to give space to recreate the Somali state - you do not create the Somali state by firing indiscriminately into civilian areas and civilian targets.

"Nevertheless it is quite true that when you fight in built-up areas there are bound to be civilian causalities and these are extremely regrettable."

'No resources'

Mr Meles admitted Ethiopia's planned withdrawal from Somalia was taking "a lot longer" than planned because of delays in the deployment of African Union peacekeepers.

So far just 1,600 Ugandan peacekeepers have arrived, out of a planned force of 8,000.

"I understand why the African Union does not have the resources to fulfil its promise.

"But I hope that those who have the resources will support the African Union so they can deploy the peacekeeping troops," he said.

Even with half the expected number, the force would "go a long way in making the appropriate environment for us to withdraw", Mr Meles added.

Dozens killed in Pakistani train derailment

From Syed Mohsin Naqvi
CNN

(CNN) -- A Pakistani express train derailed early Wednesday morning, killing at least 37 people and injuring at least 135 others, police said.

Pakistani army soldiers search the wreckage of the train.

The Karachi Express was traveling from Karachi to Lahore, carrying more than 1,000 people when it derailed at about 2:25 a.m. (4:25 p.m. ET Tuesday) near the town of Sialabad, about 250 miles (400 km) north of Karachi, railway officials said.

Journalist Aftab Borka reported from the scene that about 12 of the 17 cars in the train were off the tracks and overturned.

Rangers, police and local residents responded for rescue work, according to railway officials, who said another train has arrived at the crash location to carry the injured to Lahore.

Other injured were taken to a nearby hospital, Junaid Qureshi, director of operations for Pakistan Railways, told CNN. He said the number of casualties is expected to rise.

The cause of the derailment was unknown, he said, and officials have not ruled out the possibility it was the result of a terrorist attack.

The Associated Press reported that officials said at least 56 people had been killed and 150 injured.

Donors pledge $7.4 billion Palestinian aid

PARIS, France (CNN) -- A major donors conference to raise funds for the Palestinians has gone beyond expectations, with donors pledging $7.4 billion to help build a Palestinian state, organizers said Monday.

France's Nicolas Sarkoxy, left, welcomes Tony Blair and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Monday.

Other delegations at the Paris meeting are offering aid in kind, such as the International Monetary Fund, which said it would provide monitoring of the Palestinians' promised reforms to reassure donors that their money would be used efficiently.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad called the pledge of money a "vote of confidence" in the Palestinians.

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said the support of donors needed to be repaid in the coming months with steps to create a lasting settlement.

"Over the next few months, we have to show people our capability of making the difference on the ground," said Blair, who co-hosted the conference in his new role as envoy for the so-called Middle East Quartet of the United Nations, United States, European Union and Russia.

The Paris conference focuses on short-term priorities for the Palestinians, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said those include providing immediate support for the Palestinian people -- particularly those living in Gaza -- and stabilizing the Palestinian economy. Watch CNN's Jim Bittermann explain the conference's aims »

It follows on the heels of last month's peace talks in the U.S. in which Israeli and Palestinian leaders vowed to negotiate a final-status agreement by the end of 2008.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said France would donate $300 million, and the United States was expected to pledge more than $500 million.

Central to the Palestinians' request for aid is a three-year reform plan that the Palestinians prepared for the conference. The plan, which covers 2008 to 2010, centers on economic development and government reform.

The World Bank praised the plan, calling it a "promising effort" to link policy-making, planning and budgeting. But in a report released Monday, the World Bank pointed out the reforms would succeed in helping Palestinians only if they were accompanied by both donor aid and Israeli actions.

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni spoke of taking such actions, saying Israel is committed to meeting its responsibilities under the Middle East road map, especially regarding the contentious issue of settlements.

Livni said an agreement had been reached with the European Union to provide training for Palestinian police.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said the Palestinians didn't lack will or determination but resources. He promised donors that Palestinians would work hard to create a modern country in control of its security.

"We are at a historic stage today, and the destiny of our region and peace depends on this," said Abbas, who requested the conference be held.

Abbas earlier had requested $5.6 billion in aid over the next three years.

Sarkozy repeatedly told the conference he is a "friend of Israel," but he urged the Israeli government to withdraw troops from the West Bank, freeze settlements, reopen institutions in East Jerusalem and help the isolated population of Gaza.

The World Bank's report detailed the challenges facing attempts to revive the Palestinian economy, which has become almost totally dependent on foreign aid.

The Palestinian Authority is the largest employer for its people, as private-sector jobs dry up. The World Bank said wages for public sector employees account for almost half of the government's expenditures.

With public investment having nearly ceased, the World Bank said, almost all government funds in the past two years have been used to pay salaries and cover operating costs.

Staffing also has gone up in the health and education sectors, the World Bank said, leaving little money for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, teaching and learning materials, and overall maintenance.

The World Bank said the reforms would only succeed if they include Gaza, where 40 percent of the Palestinian population lives.

Gaza has been subject to a wide-ranging crackdown since Hamas took power in June; its borders are closed, fuel imports are restricted, and there are strict limits on all imported goods.

"The continued entry of humanitarian goods has mitigated the impact of the closures on Gaza's population, but has not been sufficient to offset the collapse of the private sector there," the World Bank report said.

Unemployment across the Palestinian territories stands at nearly 23 percent, the World Bank said, but in Gaza, 33 percent of the population is out of a job. It predicted the figures would rise if the restrictions continue.

A report Monday from the U.N. Development Program spotlighted the pressures on private Palestinian businesses, especially in Gaza, where it said the private sector "is on the verge of collapse with no scope for recovery" unless Israeli restrictions are lifted.

Russia delivers nuclear fuel to Iran

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russia started delivering nuclear fuel to Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant this week as part of a compromise effort to alleviate concerns over Iran's nuclear intentions while supporting Iran's right to a nuclear energy program.

Russia says its fuel can only be used at and for the Bushehr plant.

Atomstroiexport, Russia's nuclear power equipment and service export monopoly, completed the first stage of deliveries on Sunday, the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency said.

The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, Reza Aghazadeh, was quoted by Iran's Fars News Agency as telling Iranian state television that the shipment arrived Monday.

The United States, several European nations, and Israel suspect Tehran has been trying to acquire nuclear weapons, but Iran denies its nuclear program is for anything but peaceful purposes.

A recent U.S. intelligence summary concluded that, contrary to earlier suspicions, Iran halted its nuclear weapons development in 2003.

Atomstroiexport, the Russian monopoly, is building the $1 billion Bushehr plant under the control of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations' nuclear watchdog agency. The Russian foreign ministry and nuclear officials said the fuel delivery was under full IAEA safeguards.

"The Bushehr plant is 95 percent completed and I promise the Iranian nation that the electricity generated by this nuclear plant will enter the country's electricity network next year," Aghazadeh said, in comments carried by Fars.

A statement on the Russian Foreign Ministry's official Web site Monday said Iran had provided additional written guarantees that the fuel can only be used at and for the Bushehr plant, and that the spent fuel will be returned to Russia for utilization and storage.

"The nuclear fuel is being delivered to Iran about six months ahead of the time when it will be actually used for producing energy, as stipulated by technical requirements," the statement read.

The fuel deliveries will be made in several stages over two months, Russian nuclear officials said. The first stage was completed, officials said, when IAEA-certified fuel containers were delivered to a special storage facility, inspected by the IAEA, at the plant.

The United States supports the Russian plan to enrich uranium on its soil, which is a compromise effort to alleviate Washington's concerns over Iran's nuclear intentions and Russia's support for Iran's right to a nuclear energy program.

President Bush said he voiced his support for the program in a phone call to President Vladimir Putin earlier this month.

"One of the interesting tactical decisions that Russia has made -- that the United States supports -- is the notion that Iran has a sovereign right to have a civilian nuclear power program," Bush said.

"What they don't have is our confidence that they should be able to enrich uranium so that those plants would work. Why? Because they had a covert weapons program that they did not declare and have yet to declare."

The U.N. Security Council has repeatedly demanded that Iran suspend enrichment of uranium and has imposed limited sanctions on Tehran for refusing to comply. Russia, France, and China -- all permanent Security Council members -- have voiced concerns about the proposed sanctions.

A recent U.S. National Intelligence Estimate said Iran stopped work toward a nuclear weapon while under international scrutiny in 2003 and is unlikely to be able to produce enough enriched uranium for a bomb until 2010 to 2015.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hailed the report and declared that Iran is a "peaceful nuclear country."

Aghazadeh expressed hope that with Iran-IAEA cooperation, there would no longer be any legal excuse for Iran's nuclear case to remain at the Security Council and that it would be returned to the IAEA.

Last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia wants to settle the situation.

"Certainly, we are interested in having all issues surrounding Iran's nuclear program finally settled as early as possible," he said in Moscow after talks with his Iranian counterpart, Manouchehr Mottaki.

This is possible "solely on the basis of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, IAEA rules and principles, and certainly, with Iran proving its right to a peaceful use of nuclear energy," Lavrov said.

Lavrov said there had been some progress in the talks between Iran and the IAEA.

"We encourage further advancement which will allow us to finally take this issue off the international agenda," Lavrov said.

Construction of the plant was expected to be completed in September, Interfax said, but was delayed because of lack of financing and delayed equipment deliveries from other countries.

Atomstroiexport hopes to announce a new date for completing the construction in late December, Interfax said.
