Make Money By Side Hustling

Filling Online Surveys

---

Filling online surveys is a great option if you only have a spare hour or two. There are lots of panels that make it easy to earn $50 or more a week. For example, Survey Junkie helps you to make $45 in your first 20 minutes. InboxDollars, MyPoints and PrizeRebel all not only have surveys, but other tasks. You can expect to earn a dollar or two for tasks. However, since these tasks only take a few minutes, you can slot them around your other commitments. 

To get started on these platforms, you’ll need to set up your profile. The companies use the information you provide to match you with appropriate surveys and tasks. When you reach the minimum cash out threshold, which is typically modest, you can claim your earnings via gift card or PayPal.

Answering Questions

---

Companies need feedback from consumers to develop products and services. So, one of the easiest answers to the question, how to make money online, is to answer questions. 

There are a number of platforms where you can get paid for product testing. You’ll be sent or need to purchase a product and then try it before answering questions about your experience. 

You can get paid anywhere from a dollar or two to $500 or more. 

For example, Pinecone Research pays approximately $6 for each product test and you get to keep the product.  

Inviting Friends to Use Apps/Services

---

If you enjoy using apps and services, one of the easiest ways to make money online is to invite friends to join. Most companies offer to refer a friend bonus that can be a one off payment or a percentage. 

For example, if you are an Uber driver or use this service, you can get a $5 referral bonus. Alternatively, Swagbucks offers 10% of all your referral’s earnings. 

So, it is well worth looking at the companies, apps, and services you currently use to see if they have a referral program. After all, if you enjoy using these companies, why not share them with your friends and make some extra cash?

Watching Movies & Trailers

---

If you already spend your free time watching random videos and trailers, you can enjoy a few cents for each video through platforms such as InboxDollars. This is often the solution people consider when they first start asking what kind of work can I do from home. However, you can take it further.

The above task tends to pay very little, but since it is quite fun and not time consuming, this is enough for some people. 

If you prefer to tackle a more serious gig, you could consider creating video subtitles. This involves watching the movie, trailer or video and transcribing what you hear. 

There are lots of internet creators who want to make more accessible content. You can even set yourself up as a freelancer on platforms such as Fiverr. Although the base rate will only provide you with $4, you can upsell your services to make a decent rate. 

Switching Service Supplier (Electricity, Insurance, Bank account)

---

Many companies take their customers for granted. They tend to reserve their preferential rates and deals to attract new customers. So, you can easily earn money online simply by switching service suppliers. 

However, this need not be a hassle. There are platforms such as Rocket Money that can help you save money on your costs. This is a free sign up service, as you’ll simply pay a commission on any savings the company can negotiate for you.

Rocket Money’s commission is a steep 40%, but this is only charged when savings are secured. So, if Rocket Money is unable to save you any money, you won’t pay a fee. However, if they can save you $100, you’ll need to pay $40. 

Playing Games

---

If you enjoy playing games, you could use this to earn some extra cash. The Mistplay app is designed to help game developers test the functionality and user experience of their products. You’ll get to play games and provide feedback to help the developers and get paid for your time.

After registering, you can browse the available games and each one has different play periods and achievements. After you complete the achievement or game, you’ll receive a notification from Mistplay.

This will require responses to questions or feedback on the game. You’ll earn up to 200 points per game and you can then convert your points into cash. Approximately 1500 points are worth $5. 

Testing Websites

---

If you find that you’re picking up errors on websites or feel frustration when a site is not intuitive, you have the eye for testing websites. 

UserTesting is a platform that helps web developers check for errors and evaluate user experience. When you create an account, you’ll see a prompt to download the testing software. You’ll then visit sites and answer questions about the user experience. The sites UserTesting will offer you will depend on your demographics. The company matches members to the target users of specific sites. 

The testing typically takes up to 20 minutes, and UserTesting pays $10 for each test via PayPal.

Reviewing Search Engines

Search engines also rely on feedback. The companies use this feedback to improve their services and update the algorithms. Reviewing search engines can be a legit way to make money online. 

You’ll be instructed on what you need to research and review. Most platforms also require that you complete a feedback form. 

Search engine evaluators often need to pass a test to join a testing platform or meet certain requirements. For example, Appen requires excellent web research skills, comprehension and analytical abilities. 

However, you can earn $10 to $30 per hour on a flexible schedule.

Listening to Music

---

If you enjoy music, you could spend time listening to music and helping artists online. Slicethepie is a platform where you can review pieces of music from unsigned bands. This isn’t a massive earner, as you’re only likely to earn $40 to $50 per month. However, you’ll be spending your time doing what you enjoy. 

To get started on the platform, you’ll need to complete the online application with some personal details. Once you’re logged in, you can choose music categories. You just need to play a track and comment on what you like and dislike. You need to listen to at least 90 seconds and provide a rating out of ten. 

Evaluating Apps

---

As with websites and search engine companies, app developers need to know that their app is ready for launch or if it needs to be modified. 

You can download and test apps, before providing feedback. For example, Tester Work pays evaluators for finding bugs. Tester Work displays the amount you’ll receive on each project before you start work. However, you can expect to earn $50 or more per hour. 

Tester Work does require evaluators to pass an assessment before they can join. However, there is a chance of a second test if you fail the first time. 

Doing Small Jobs Online

---

If you don’t want to commit to doing one thing online, consider doing small jobs. This is often known as micro tasking and can be quite lucrative. Although the tasks tend to pay very small amounts, they only take less than a minute. 

For example, Amazon Mechanical Turk has HITs or Human Intelligence Tasks. There are millions of HITs on the platform, but you need to pass qualification tests before the platform will allow you to take on a task. 

This can vary from filling in Captchas, categorizing videos, transcribing audio files or completing surveys. Most tasks pay less than $0.50, but they can be done in less than a minute. 

Selling Crafts

---

If you’re crafty or can make things, you could sell your items on Etsy. Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee and a 5% commission on every item you sell. This allows you to sell personalized items or items you can mass produce. 

The average price of Etsy listings is $25, but you can set your own prices. 

If you’re not confident in your crafting skills, you could still sell stuff online. You can clear your unwanted items and list them on an auction site. However, you can also find items to sell on Craigslist, at yard sales or local events. 

It is even possible to collect boxes of items for free from people who lack the time to sell their unwanted things.

Make Money Online by Investing

Peer-To-Peer Lending

---

Peer to peer lending is a relatively new concept. It allows people to borrow money directly from borrowers. Lenders and borrowers come together via a lending platform or company. This creates advantages for both borrower and lender. 

There is less paperwork, faster approval decisions and competitive rates for the borrower. Lenders can also invest small sums and attract a better rate. 

For example, Peerform is a popular platform that offers rates of 6.44% and 28.33% for investors. You can invest from $25. You can also create a diverse portfolio to minimize your risk. 

Index Funds

---

There are thousands of indexes tracking the movement of markets, sectors and strategies each day. These are necessary to determine the health and performance of the market. Indexes are a mathematical construct, so you can’t directly invest. However, you can invest in an index fund. 

These are passively managed, so they typically rarely change to minimize costs and maximize returns. You should be able to get the same return as the index with a low average commission of 1.3%. 

There are lots of investment companies and platforms that make investing in index funds easy. For example, Betterment is a robo advisor that has an investment fee of up to 0.50%.

Online Savings Account

---

While many consider an online savings account to create a fund for emergencies, it can also be a way to make money online. You’ll often need a minimum deposit, but you’ll effectively get some free money. 

For example, Chase is currently offering a $150 bonus if you open a Savings account and deposit $10,000 within 20 business days. 

You can also find similar bonuses for opening up current accounts with various financial institutions. So, it is well worth looking at your bank account requirements to see if you can make some free cash. 

Robo Advisors

---

Robo Advisors are online investment services that select portfolios and manage them according to your risk. This is a great tool for newbie investors who may be concerned about the complex terminology and processes of a traditional broker. 

For example, Fidelity Go has a simple user interface and allows small investments from $10. You can set up an account by answering five basic questions. You’ll then see an overview of a proposed portfolio based on your profile. 

Fidelity Go also has a very low commission structure. You’ll only pay 0.35% commission on your investments. 

Employer’s retirement plan (401k)

So, you can get extra cash in your retirement fund by topping up your contributions. You’ll need to pay attention to the specific terms of your 401k, but this is a good way to make some money online. 

Digital Real Estate

---

Real estate is a common investment platform, but you may not have heard about digital real estate. In the physical world, you can invest by buying a house or plot of land to sell for profit or rental income. A similar thing can be experienced in the digital world.

Domain names, websites and blogs are all internet property. You can buy and sell this digital real estate just like you would an apartment or house. Some domains and websites even sell for hundreds of millions of dollars. 

You can either build your own websites or buy an established site and flip it. You will need to make improvements to the website to make it more appealing and profitable. 

If your website generates $300 a month in profit, this is $3,600 a year and you could sell the website for $7,000 to $10,000. 

Dividend Stock Funds

---

Companies on the stock exchange regularly use a portion of their profits to reward stockholders with a cash payment or dividend. These payments are usually every three months, but they can occur at different intervals depending on the company. 

To benefit from dividend stock funds, you will need to buy stocks and keep hold of them for a while. You can purchase them from a broker house, but you need to ensure that you still own the shares before the ex-dividend date. This is the date when the company checks who owns shares and are eligible to receive a dividend payment. 

IRA

---

IRAs are another investment tool that can help you to make money online. This type of investment is easy to manage and less expensive than many others. You can allocate assets within your IRA so you can accomplish your financial goals.

Traditional IRAs allow contributions that may be deductible on your tax return. You can also tax defer earnings until you make a withdrawal in retirement. This can be helpful if you drop into a lower tax bracket after you retire. 

Although this is a long term strategy, it is a good way to make some money online to boost your retirement fund. 

Cryptocurrencies

---

Cryptocurrencies have only been around for just over a decade, but they offer another investment avenue. Crypto tends to evolve in a cycle with an increase in prices creating a media buzz, which brings more people and prompts the creation of new projects. 

You can make money with cryptocurrency by investing or trading. Investing is a long term strategy that involves buying and holding on to your currency. You can purchase cryptocurrency through platforms such as Robinhood.

If you prefer to learn more about investing, you can use the Robinhood app. This offers learning tools and fee free trading, so you can develop your investment skills in a secure environment. 

ETF

ETFs or Exchange Traded Funds are like mutual funds. The investor capital contributes to a pool fund that can be invested on shares traded on national stock exchanges.

You’ll need to enjoy writing and have a topic in mind that you would enjoy talking about in the long term. 

To obtain an income from your blog, you can put ads on your website, get paid affiliate commission for products that you recommend or review or sell your own product or service. 

Generally, it takes up to 18 months for a blog to start providing some cash, but it has great long term income potential. 

Open E-Commerce Store

Like blogging, your store could earn you anything from a few dollars to thousands of dollars each month. If you’re selling a physical product, you will also need to calculate your shipping expenses and stock costs to determine your profitability.

Amazon is perhaps the largest global marketplace, but it can also answer the question how can I make money from home? Fulfilled by Amazon or FBA is a marketplace that simplifies selling. The process is a little tedious, but there is a potential to earn as much as $100 per hour.
