While the tasks below won’t make you rich, they can earn you a little pocket money on the side—and these days that can make a big difference. Most of these online money making opportunities only require you have a computer, a decent internet connection, and some sort of marketable skill (or the ability to provide valuable consumer insight to marketers).

The commuters stream down the hill from the residential neighborhoods toward the harbor. They pass the small marina strewn with bits of netting and plastic patio furniture, where a few trawlers are tied up, and the pier where a replica of a famed 15th century armored Korean warship floats. Just beyond the harbor, some workers split off into a complex of DSME office towers.

The rest continue on to the gates of the shipyard. Geoje Island, where Okpo is situated, is the global capital of shipbuilding. The biggest of all the behemoths—the biggest ships in the world—are being built at the DSME yard for the Danish shipping line A.P.
