Where to read something interesting
Pikabu (pikabu.ru) is a place where you can hang out for a long time. There is everything for a pleasant and useful pastime here:
- Stories about life: funny and sad, with and without morality.
- Life hacks: how to save money, avoid getting scammed, and solve everyday problems.
- News that the media is silent about: scandals, intrigues, investigations.
- Cool pictures and videos.
The Pikabu website is a community where materials are published by ordinary people, and not by specially trained authors and editors.
People also evaluate publications: if they like the story, they give it a “plus”; if not, they give it a “minus.” The more upvotes a post receives, the higher it will rise in the list.
First, the site shows popular posts for today. If you want to see the most interesting things of the day or week, click on the “Best” item in the top menu.
Yaplakal (yaplakal.com) is another very popular entertaining and educational site. Similar to Pikabu, but only the audience is older.
The principle is the same: the users themselves add news and evaluate it themselves - raise it or, conversely, lower it.

Vkontakte publics. Contact (vk.com) is the largest social network and the most visited site on the Russian Internet. There are communities of interests here - publics. They contain articles, pictures and videos on a specific topic.
For example, there are communities about cars, design, architecture, science, and gadgets. There are others - on broader topics: health, fashion, culture and art, humor, advice.
You can go to the public even without having a VKontakte page. But it’s better to get it anyway by registering for free on VK - it’s more convenient to read the news.

How can you make money at home without the Internet?
While sitting at home, it is not necessary to work on the Internet. There are several options with which you can earn money at home.
Business at home
A home hairdresser is a great way to make money.
In an apartment or private house, you can open your own business that will make a profit. Among the most interesting ideas are the following:
- Laundry. Quite a profitable business. Clients will have items delivered to their home that will have to be washed and ironed.
- Salon. People who have considerable experience in creating hairstyles can start cutting hair at home. To attract more customers, you need to immediately set prices lower than in salons.
- Beauty workshop. Girls who can do a high-quality pedicure or manicure can do this at home and make a real and decent profit.
Cooking dumplings or dumplings
It's no secret that homemade food attracts many people more than processed foods. Some are even willing to overpay for food prepared at home. That is why cooking dumplings or dumplings is very profitable. Such a home business is universal, as it is suitable not only for women, but also for men.
This kind of work only takes a few hours a day. It is much more difficult to find your first clients. You may have to post signs or even buy advertising on social networks.
Additional Information! To attract your first customers, it is better to slightly reduce the cost of prepared food. Only after filling the client base will it be possible to revise the pricing policy.
Providing massage services
Massage is a popular and profitable type of activity
. A fairly common business that is suitable for almost everyone is massage at home. It is enough to simply complete a short three-month course, after which you can look for your first clients.
To work as a massage therapist, you must purchase the following equipment in advance:
- a small portable table equipped with a pillow and a bolster;
- a set of special oils for massage;
- anti-cellulite gel;
- towels, sheets, gloves.
It is not easy for people who decide to seriously engage in massage business to find clients. You can try leaving an ad on Avito or using Yula. These resources have a special section for advertising your own services.
Important! Before you go to a client or invite him home, you need to communicate with him at least a little. It is better not to visit complete strangers.
Identify what's bothering you
You can make a healthy decision about what you want to do only when there is nothing holding you back. If you are upset or your head is full of things to do, then you will never be able to make a decision. Figure out what exactly is annoying you at the moment. “Working in an office makes me angry” is not the answer. What specific aspect of the job is causing you anxiety? Is your boss annoying? Schedule? Unhappy with your position?
Think about how to fix this. Perhaps there are no serious problems in the current situation and changing just a couple of aspects will make you a happy person.
What to do if you're bored at home and tired of the Internet?
During the day you can get so tired of the computer that you don’t even want to see it. Below are the best ways to lift your mood:
Book
Reading takes your mind off everything. While reading, we are immersed in the mysterious world where our heroes live, we experience everything they feel: we get angry, we fall in love, we laugh. How could it be boring?
Needlework
This way to get rid of boredom is more suitable for women. Embroidery, knitting, modeling calms and distracts from all problems.
Board games
For this you will need a company of friends and something tasty. Buy at least one board game, and you will not notice how you will become the center of the whole company. Monopoly, lotto, poker set or just charades will make your evening unforgettable.
Battle arenas
Do you like to fight? Then battle arenas are a great way to show off your skills in battle. The three most popular games in this genre are Dota 2, League of Legends and Heroes of the Storm. They are all very similar, have similar cards and the same goal of the game - to destroy the main building of the enemy. However, they differ in complexity. The most difficult is Dota 2 with its character mechanics and playstyle. It is the progenitor of other games of this genre.
Battle arenas are suitable for those who do not want to constantly go through missions and do not want to spend the whole day developing a strategy, but want to have an interesting time in battle.
Proven methods of earning money
There are three proven ways to make money that you can use to earn money at home.
Lead generation
Lead generation is one of the methods of attracting clients.
Many people who hear about lead generation for the first time cannot even understand what it is connected with. This is the name for a skill that helps you attract new clients.
People who are well versed in lead generation often become wholesale brokers. For example, they may attract customers to sell food products or building materials.
Lead generation can be done online. To do this, a one-page Internet resource is created, to which clients from search engine advertising networks are redirected. If everything is done correctly, your monthly salary will be no less than 50 thousand rubles.
Copywriting
Copywriting is an easy way to make money online.
This method of making money is considered one of the most popular on the Internet. It consists of writing unique texts on various topics. You can engage in copywriting on special exchanges, where you can complete tasks or post ready-made articles. Earnings in copywriting directly depend on the amount of text written, as well as on the payment per 1000 characters.
Additional Information! On average, they pay 50-60 rubles for 1000 copyright symbols. Rewriting is paid cheaper, only 30-40 rubles.
Often the price depends on the complexity of the order - texts on unusual topics cost an order of magnitude more. For example, complex technical articles will pay higher than simple texts about gardening.
You need to start working as a copywriter on stock exchanges. The most popular are Etxt, Advego, TurboText. Over time, you can look for customers on social networks or forums. They often pay orders of magnitude more than people on the exchanges.
Maintaining a personal blog or website
People who are not afraid of complex ways to make money can create their own website or blog. In this case, you will first have to spend money on hosting and purchasing a domain. However, before this, you need to think about the design of the resource, as well as its subject matter. After all, the popularity of the site and how much profit it will bring mainly depends on this.
Successfully running a blog or website allows you to earn about 90,000 rubles per month
Running a blog or website is quite difficult. It is necessary to add new articles there every day that might interest visitors. The number of unique visitors and, of course, profit depend on the quality of articles.
Additional Information! The number of new visitors largely depends on the topic of the resource. For example, if a site is dedicated to real estate, then about a hundred people may visit it daily. This is enough to enable monetization on the site.
Earning money through blogs and websites is done through advertising. It is necessary to place banners or small teasers on the resource. On average, with the help of a fairly well-promoted website, you can earn 2000-3000 rubles a day. However, to achieve such income, you will have to work hard and promote your website.
