2. Where Else Can You Build A 6-Figure Income For 82¢/Day?

Black Friday or no Black Friday, the Wealthy Affiliate membership represents unbelievable value for money.

Though owners Kyle and Carson have invested millions into constantly developing the platform, they haven’t changed their prices since 2005.

Wealthy Affiliate Changed My Life (Understatement)

Hi, I’m Simon and I joined Wealthy Affiliate as a Free Starter Member in March 2015 and I’ve never looked back.

Back then I was working a call centre job I hated and living in an upstairs bedroom of my mum’s house.

I had always dreamed about travelling the world and even made it to Thailand a couple of times, but I always had to come back to the UK to work and save up money so I could go back again.

To stop simply dreaming about living the life I wanted, I knew I had to take action.

I needed to learn how to create income-generating websites that I could run from anywhere in the world.

I needed to tap into the limitless earning potential the internet gives anyone willing to learn and put in the work.

So when I somehow stumbled across the Wealthy Affiliate training platform I was driven, motivated and hungry for success. I dived into the training modules and started building out my first-ever website.

Then it happened:

My first-ever sale – I was over the moon! (I blogged about here)

That was enough to keep going, so I upgraded to the Premium Membership and over the next 12 months I built a $2,000/month income stream from one website alone.

I decided it was high time to break out of my tiny call centre cubicle, kiss my boss goodbye and book that one-way ticket to Thailand – so that’s exactly what I did.

Since then I’ve:

• Built several profitable affiliate marketing sites
• Achieved my first $1,000 day (twice in the same week!)
• Consistently earned over 6-figures a year for the last 3 years
• Travelled to Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, Rwanda and Turkey
• Qualified for an all-expenses-paid Wealthy Affiliate Conference in Las Vegas
• Planning to marry my Thai fiancé in February 2020

All this has been made possible because I made the right decision to invest in Wealthy Affiliate’s training and put in the work to apply it…

I say this not to brag, but to prove that if you are ready to take action, Wealthy Affiliate will give you a clear roadmap to follow that actually works.

If you’ve got the drive to succeed then Wealthy Affiliate will give you a tried and tested roadmap to success and guide you every step of the way.

Old and young, experienced and inexperienced, the Wealthy Affiliate training has been proven to work for college students, stay-at-home mums, 40-somethings and retirees.

Most Wealthy Affiliate members fall into one of these three categories:

Your Success Story Starts With The Next Step

“You will never leave where you are until you decide where you’d rather be.” – Dexter Yager

Now if affiliate marketing is genuinely not right for you, I respect that, but if it is and you really want an online business generating sales for you around the clock, then you essentially have 3 starting options:

1) Create your Starter account and test drive the platform for free and see if it’s a good fit.

2) Go For Premium Monthly at $49/month

3) Grab the Wealthy Affiliate Black Friday special for full access at a 49% discount.

Moving forward with any of these is going to give you a real advantage over other people trying to launch a successful affiliate marketing business without a structured training program and 24/7 support.

When COVID cases began making the news, the widespread effects were nearly instantaneous. Suddenly, workplaces were being shut down, entire countries were placed on lockdown, and millions of people suddenly found themselves confined to their homes.

With such a major lifestyle change forced upon them, it’s no surprise that the number of people working from home drastically increased. Nowadays, workers are returning to the workplace in droves, but if there’s anything COVID taught us, it’s that you can make money by working from home. In this article, we’ll be going over exactly how to do that!

Time: Your Main Obstacle

Whether you already have a full-time job or simply want to work for yourself, proper time management is key. The amount of time you have available each day will largely determine what opportunities are available to you. Some side gigs from home can be extremely profitable but require a huge time investment.

On the other hand, some money-making methods yield smaller profits but can fit into nearly any schedule. Your primary goal is determining how much time you can reasonably invest every day into your side gigs from home. Once you’ve figured this out, you’ll be able to start considering the available opportunities. 

Inefficient Methods

There’s an old saying: “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Unfortunately, there are many “side gigs” that fall under this category. One such example is survey sites! There are many online websites that offer to compensate you for completing various surveys. Many of these are legitimate websites, but you won’t be making a sustainable income.

Generally, these sites only provide limited surveys that an individual can actually qualify for. Even after the surveys have been completed, individuals usually have to meet a pre-set quota before they can cash out their earnings. If you see an online “opportunity” that seems promising, we recommend doing a lot of research before investing any time in these potential side gigs from home.

Away-from-Home Options

Millions of Americans decide to take a second job, either for additional income or out of necessity. Thanks to the increasing popularity of ride-sharing and delivery services, picking up a second job no longer requires dedicating yourself to a set schedule. Instead, services like DoorDash and Lyft will hire you as an independent contractor! This arrangement allows you to work when you’d like, as much as your schedule—or your patience—will allow.

However, working as an independent contractor for these types of companies does have some downsides. Although the earning potential is high, so are the unseen expenses. You’ll be responsible for the maintenance of your vehicle and fuel costs, both of which heavily cut into your earnings. Ultimately, the viability of these side gigs from home depends on your location and the generosity of your clientele.

At-Home Endeavors

Fortunately, working out of your home offers far more opportunities. For the artistically inclined, selling products using one of the many online marketplaces could be an option. Websites like Freelancer.com allow individuals to sell services to interested customers, via bidding or direct contracts.

Platforms such as Patreon and the infamous OnlyFans enable influencers to capitalize on their content, providing interested parties with exclusive content in exchange for a subscription cost. With all of the opportunities available online, nearly any type of product, service, hobby, or passion can be turned for a profit!

Utilizing Your Additional Income

For many, simply receiving an extra paycheck is the end goal. However, this mindset severely limits the potential of your additional income! If possible, we recommend investing your additional income (rather than spending it right away).

Putting these funds into a savings account might seem like a smart option, but these accounts almost never outperform the general market. This means that your money will actually lose value over time! Investing can easily outperform the market, which is why we recommend this alternative instead.

That said, investing successfully requires knowledge, strategy, and patience. It’s certainly possible to make a large profit in a short time, but this involves dealing primarily with volatile assets that can easily lose all of their value. Investing in low-volatility assets is much safer, but it will take some time before you see substantial profits.

Experienced investors will be able to select the best assets on their own, but newer investors should look at subscription services. These services will tell you exactly what assets to invest in, enabling you to turn your extra income into significant savings. Some services will even invest on your behalf, essentially automating your investing journey.

The Allure of Side Gigs from Home

Ultimately, selecting a side job, starting your own business, or profiting off of a hobby all have one thing in common: they take time and commitment! Your first priority is finding something that you can perform consistently.

Even if the profit margins aren’t much, investing this money will allow you to significantly increase your money’s potential. This income is secondary, so you should treat it as such. With the proper approach, time, and patience, today’s dime can become tomorrow’s dollar!

You’ll usually see vending machines around commercial buildings, hotels, streets, gyms, schools, etc. 

You might not know that you can make good money by starting a vending business. 

Some of you may have a full-time job but can use a side hustle to earn extra, and this idea might be it. 

If you’re searching for a business venture that doesn’t need much of your time and effort, you should consider it. 

You won’t need training or exceptional skills to be a qualified vending machine operator. 

Vending machines as passive income generators are slowly becoming a great idea because it’s easy to manage. 

However, you should know the right way to start this business. 

In this post, you’ll read about the hows of a vending machine business. 

How Does a Vending Machine Business Work?

Vending machines work like retail shops, but the only difference is that they are automated shops.

Owners stock their inventory into their machine and make it available, usually 24/7, unless there’s a problem with the device. 

The usual products in a vending machine are beverages and food, but people are more creative these days. 

You’ll see vending machines filled with makeup, toiletries, a whole meal, flowers, and more. 

The machine works by dispensing the item after the customers pay and press the button of their respective product. 

As the demand for vending machines grows, you’ll find more variety of devices around the streets now.

They don’t drop the items anymore, as some can dispense a cup, and the machine fills it with your hot or cold brew. 

Some owners even add colorful designs, unique items, entertaining sounds, and other gimmicks to attract more customers.

Various payment methods are available nowadays, such as cashless payments, instead of the usual bills and coins.

What is the Business Model of a Vending Machine? 

Before diving into the vending machine business, it is essential to know the business model it follows. 

The retail industry, of which vending machines are part, is fast-paced worldwide. 

It makes vending machines an excellent business opportunity because people can earn without supervising their business. 

However, when choosing the type of product you’ll sell, it must cater to the daily needs of consumers. 

Most other types like this can be expensive upfront, but they are easy to maintain, saving you more in the long run. 

Despite its simple business model, you may need to remember that it requires planning.

For example, the business capital you’ll need may be costly at first because you need to pay for machines, inventory, and permits. 

However, you can secure loans or deal with an excellent financial institution to help start your business.

As an owner, you’ll want to be actively managing your vending machine to interact with customers at the start of its operations.

If you offer meals, juices, and sodas, you must ensure that you sell top-quality products. 

So as much as possible, always fix technical issues immediately if your machine breaks down during operations. 

It would be best to repair your machine because the more customers you miss every minute it does not work. 

Additionally, it is preferable to have your product suppliers nearby so they can quickly deliver stocks. 

Finally, you must keep your business safe from accidents or crimes because it can be a considerable loss. 

You’ll need to invest in CCTV cameras, business insurance, or a security guard to watch your machine. 

How to Start a Vending Business?

If you find the vending machine business something you want to try, you need to be hands-on with it. 

There is planning, research, and decision-making on the business owner’s part. 

This part will show you how to earn passive income with vending machine businesses.

Pick Your Business Structure

Like any other business, vending machines must follow legal and tax obligations.

By choosing a business structure, you can earn legally and possibly, expand soon. 

Some legal structures are sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), and corporation. 

If you want multiple machines, you may consider being an LLC so you can make a profit legally and collect costs on your taxes.

There will be an assigned agent that can act as your company’s representative for your business. 

Aside from it, you may also need permits and licenses to operate in your chosen location legally. 

Once you know where you’ll put up machines and your structure, you can easily do paperwork. 

Think What Your Market Is

There are different vending machines depending on which market you want to hit.

The food and beverages section is the most profitable type because the general public buys it daily.

So if you want two or more machines with snacks and beverages, place them in busy areas with different products.

Aside from meals, there are also random objects, for example, toys, that you’ll see in vending machines. 

You usually insert coins and turn the knob to dispense your goods like toys or gumballs. 

They are cheaper and easier to maintain because they are manual, meaning they don’t use digital keypads. 

Knowing where to set up this vending machine can be your perfect income source. 

Finally, you also have a specialty vending machine that has unique products that you won’t usually find in a vending machine. 

It can be anything from electronics, gourmet meals, flowers, gifts, ice cream, and more. 

The markup is a little high because they are premium products, so you need to consider that fewer people may use them. 

However, you can earn a higher income if you have the right place for the general public. 

You’ll want to choose students, office workers, or people in the hospital as your target market. 

These people usually need something on-the-go because they are in a rush.

Setting Up in the Best Locations

As much as the customers are critical in a vending business, you also need a good location to sell better.

If you set your vending machine in a school, putting candy, snacks, and beverages should make sense.

If it is in a gym, it can help to have a sports bar, energy drinks, and light gym equipment. 

Dormitories or apartment complexes can use a machine with different detergents and fabric softeners. 

Most of the time, these locations are the busiest they can get because people want to grab something convenient. 

You can also check out factories, train stations, hospitals, airports, bus stations, malls, hotels, and more. 

Also, you can put your machine anywhere because you have many options.

You need to talk to the property owners and discuss agreements to avoid complications when you start your business. 

Once you know where to stick your machines, try contacting the managers to see if you can have them on their property. 

Choose the Right Type of Machine

Vending machines have different types depending on your products and how you want them to operate. 

First, you have the bulk machines where you can usually see gumballs, sanitary pads, and chocolates stocked inside. 

You only need at least one dollar to dispense the product you want in bulk in that machine. 

It is cheaper because you can thrift a bulk machine for at least $50 and then stuff it with your products. 

Second, mechanical machines are the usual vending machines that accept bills and coins.

You can usually spot the twisting ring inside that pushes out your item when you insert your payment. 

They are larger than bulk machines and can store different items.

These vending machines typically cost a thousand dollars or more. 

But you can quickly get your returns because it is more profitable than a bulk machine. 

Finally, the recent version of vending machines is in the form of electronic ones. 

Because of its latest technology, you can expect an electronic vending machine to be more expensive than a mechanical one. 

It has a touchscreen feature and can accept cashless payments like credit cards.

It can also have more premium product choices like higher quality food so that the cost can be higher too. 

You can transfer the payments directly to your account, but ensure they don’t charge hefty fees. 

Fill Your Machine

It is easy to stock up on inventory, but you also need to know how to stock items properly using a system.

You can research trends, like what people like to eat or what new products are to sell, so that it can keep up with the demand.

It is your choice whether to hire someone to do it for you or you can do the job yourself. 

A good example is that more people are health conscious and would look for healthier options.

So think of healthy snacks to fill up your machine and what products they usually prefer to eat.

For snacks and other items you’ll purchase in bulk, it is best to have a go-to wholesale supplier to get discounts. 

The cheaper you get your stocks from your suppliers, the more profit you’ll earn in the long run. 

Try Different Financing Options

Vending machines are costly upfront, mainly because of the devices, but some options are cheaper. 

You can start this opportunity with small starting capital to avoid spending six digits on your initial costs. 

As mentioned, machines can cost up to a thousand dollars which isn’t a tiny amount. 

If it still doesn’t fit your budget, you can try getting a loan to help you fund your starting capital.

You can secure a short-term loan if you have a business financial history that can back you.

Lenders will give you a lump sum then you can pay the loan with interest depending on the discussed terms. 

However, you usually have shorter repayment, usually barely two years, with higher interest. 

But you can easily qualify for a short-term loan compared to a long-term one, so it is as best as possible. 

Before your approval, lenders will review your business’ financial documents.

The better your business history, the better your chances of getting their approval for your loan. 

Another option is the equipment financing loan that lends you a certain amount depending on how much your equipment is. 

The equipment or machine can also be collateral if you fail to make your loan payments. 

As long as you know how to sustain the machines correctly, they can last for years, allowing lenders to trust you more. 

So if you want to get off this loan, you must prepare your business plan, equipment quotes, and financial documents.

If you also need funding for your inventory, there are also inventory financing options that you can consider. 

How To Buy Vending Machines?

Buying a brand-new machine is the best way to start a vending machine business with a budget. 

This way, you can easily find locations for yourself and contact property owners to occupy commercial spaces. 

However, you can also buy pre-owned vending machines so you can have a better grasp of the machine’s history. 

There could be technical issues with the machines that you’ll have to fix immediately. 

It could be better to sell them because the owner is deciding to quit the vending machine business. 

But still, some technicians can access the problem of the machines so they can start working properly. 

You can also consider being a franchisee from an established business, so you don’t need to prepare for a lot.

Most of the decision-making will come from the franchisor, but they’ll benefit from your earnings.

Many people will patronize your machine if you can get your supplies at the lowest prices.

In the long run, you’ll earn their trust and more money because of satisfied customers with only a little time and capital. 

Do You Pay Tax if You Have a Vending Business?

Vending businesses need to pay taxes like how food, drinks, and other product sales have tax obligations when exceeding ten cents. 

Furthermore, the vending machines can also include taxes along with the location that the owner rented.

Conclusion

Vending machines earn an overwhelming amount yearly, even up to billions, without you realizing it. 

Now may be the right time to break into this profitable industry so you can make at least $1000 for vending machine income.

Slowly, you can start investing in more vending machines without getting a loan and possibly make it full-time. 

So if you are still considering starting a vending machine as a passive income venture, this post is your sign. 

Making money writing on Upwork was how I started to work online. I was studiously building my websites for passive income but the money was slowly coming. 

I knew making money from websites was a long game. And I needed to make money right away so I started taking writing jobs from Upwork.com.

I have been a client of Upwork (and Elance before that) for years but never bothered giving it too much time because the rates of pay on offer seemed pathetic.

All that changed when I saw a listing offering $175USD for a 750-word post.

I applied, even though I had no experience, feedback, or samples other than my blog. A few days later I got a notification that the job was mine.

Want to know why the client offered me the job? She loved my blog. And I personalized my pitch template to her needs.

If you’ve searched Upwork for freelance writing or virtual assistant work you may have been turned off the pay rates available.

By being selective and using filters, I’ve still been able to make decent money on Upwork.

How to Get Your First Writing Job on Upwork

If you’re interested in finding work online or earning an income while you travel I think Upwork is definitely worth looking into. I’ve outlined some steps below for anyone wanting to get started.

1. Get yourself a platform

I’m going to say it now. You need a blog.  Any freelance writer worth his salt has an online home, somewhere to host their writing samples, or even just regular old blog posts which become your portfolio.

Blogging is the best way to get started as a freelance writer, as you are able to build networks and practice writing (it’s a craft, in case you didn’t know).

If you don’t have a blog, be prepared to spend about $100 to get started. You’ll need to purchase hosting (I recommend and use SiteGround for all my websites – this is my affiliate link) and a premium theme that can run from $20 upwards.

2. Write some samples

Now that you have a blog you need to fill it with content. What to write? Search Upwork to see what type of articles clients are looking for.

In my niche (personal finance) there is a demand for anything to do with loans, investment information, listicles (5 ways to save on groceries etc).

Write a couple of each type so you’ll have solid samples to pitch when it comes time to apply for jobs. This will probably take the most time, of all the steps.

Want to be a better writer? I recommend starting with On Writing by Stephen King. Other useful books include On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction by William Zinsser and A Pocket Style Manual by Diana Hacker.

3. Fill in your profile

Your Upwork profile is the place you sell yourself. Make it succinct.

Stick to a few brief sentences about your experience and why you would be the best fit for a potential client. Avoid describing the reasons you want to work online and shoot straight for the benefits a client will get from working with you.

Be prepared to sell yourself (I hate this part but it’s necessary).

I use Upwork to hire people for my marketing business, and I can guarantee you, a long profile full of fluff just irritates me. I read the first few sentences and then skip straight to the reviews (more on those soon).

4. Search for jobs

Now to the good stuff, finding your first job.

Join any Facebook group for writers or virtual workers and you’ll find plenty of people whining about the pay rates on Upwork. Let them whine.

There are well-paid gigs on Upwork but you have to search hard to find them. If you are a new writer, consider this time your ‘apprenticeship’.

You are learning the ropes and cannot bring a wealth of experience to the role so naturally, you command a lower premium. That’s not important now, the only thing that matters is getting your first gig.

How I find suitable jobs

I use the filters to weed out the entry-level articles and the hourly rate articles. I don’t want to track my time and I’m not entry-level so that cuts out the irrelevant jobs.

I then use keywords to search for the type of content I want to write about. I save all the jobs I’m interested in and then go through my list to read the full job description.

What if the pay is low?

What are we comparing this to? In my case, it was either writing articles from home whenever I wanted or taking a night job stacking shelves at the supermarket for minimum wage so I could work around my husband’s hours.

That meant I had to make over $15/hr to be better off as a freelance writer.

However, I know my work is worth more than that so I set some parameters for my search:

• If the client mentioned they were a ‘growing’ company I knew they would have a growing budget and might be able to pay me more in the future so I would definitely apply to them even if the start rate was less than what I wanted
• If the client had great feedback I would apply
• Stay away from the bottom feeders offering a 5-star review for a $10 article.

Tip: I initially thought I wanted to write for blogs when I started freelancing, but I quickly learned that I don’t like to provide content for other bloggers in my niche.

It might sound selfish, but my ideas are mine, and selling them for a fixed price to another blogger is undercutting me. I now prefer to work with commercial operators such as finance companies or online magazines.

5. Apply to a select few

Once you’ve narrowed down the jobs you want, you need to apply. To save time I created a pitch template: here’s mine if you want an idea of what works for me.

Hi there,

I wish to express interest in your content writer opportunity.

My name is Emma Healey. I’m a married mother of two. My interests include travel, property investment, personal finance, and business. I am a personal finance and lifestyle blogger (at mumsmoney.com) looking to branch out to freelance writing.

(I always personalize the next paragraph to the client’s requirements. This was for a travel gig)

I travel extensively – over 30 countries so far –  and have written content about travel on my blog. Examples as per below:

Insert relevant blog post links here

(This was for a real estate gig)

On a personal level, I’m very interested (maybe a little obsessed) in real estate investment as a vehicle for building wealth. I’m currently renovating my own place which is a lot of fun, and a steep learning curve for this wannabe DIYer!

I’ve written a few articles about real estate investment, home-buying, and reducing housing costs on my blog. I’ve posted the examples below:

Insert relevant blog post links here

Tip: Personalize your application for each job. Although I have a template, I always personalize the details to show the client I have read and understood their requirements.

How much to pitch?

I set a minimum limit of 10 cents per word when I was starting out*.

That nets me $50 for a 500-word article before Upwork fees (which start at 20% for the first $500 you earn with a client).

That’s pretty low for a native English speaker, but I would rather get the job and increase my rates once I’ve built a relationship with the client than work nights at the supermarket.

I actually accepted a job paying half of what I wanted as I figured I could ask for more if they wanted further work.

That’s how a $25 article became $675 and counting.

Tip: Don’t pitch too high or you might never hear from the client again. Pitch a fair price for the work you do, but remember you are competing with others and as a beginner, you need to nab your first gig to get the ball rolling.  

6. Do your best work

Do I really need to say more? Submit your best work.

This client might be an ongoing relationship for years.

If you want to be in this for the long game, start as you mean to go on. If you’ve done your absolute best work, consider any edits as ways to improve your writing.

7. Suggest ways for the client to improve their offer

Adding value to your work is the best way to get repeat business. You’re not just a writer, you’re a content strategist.

What do I mean by that, you ask? Do you mention any products or services in your article?

If so, suggest the client apply to affiliate programs so those links can become affiliate links and make the client money!

It is in your interest to help your client become more profitable. Do you link to the client’s existing content?

If you’ve researched your client’s website and found related articles, link to those articles where possible. You’ve saved them a job and they will notice.

8. Social share

If you’re proud of the work you’ve done, share it! The client will love you for it and it’s a great way to showcase your work.

If like me, the majority of your freelance work is ghostwriting, you can add it to your sharing calendar but you cannot say that you wrote it.

Staff writing (where your name is in the article) is much harder to come by on Upwork but if you’re lucky enough to nab a staff writing gig, be sure to share it far and wide once the article goes live.

9. Ask for feedback – your first 5-star review

Don’t forget to ask your client to give feedback. It’s so important to ensure you keep getting hired. Plus Upwork will recognize consistent positive feedback and reward you with a ‘rising talent’ badge which helps you to get better offers. 

We’re about to head overseas for 4 months and I plan to take on more work through Upwork to offset our expenses.

Upwork has been a major part of my online working strategy and I think it’s the best place for a new digital nomad or freelancer to get work.

The support is excellent and the escrow system means you will always get paid, which is a constant struggle for freelancers. I recommend checking out Upwork if you want to start making money online.

6. Earn $50/Hour as a Virtual Friend

Do you love chatting to people and making friends? If yes, working as a virtual friend is an ideal way to make extra cash.

7. Write and Sell Short eBooks

Details of how you succeeded can be put into a short eBook to help others.

If you can’t think of any ideas right now, get inspiration from Amazon best sellers, on social media to see what questions are being asked and search Answer the Public.

Price your eBook at $20 – $50 and sell on social media, Amazon Kindle and through your own blog if you have it.

8. Affiliate Marketing on Twitter

Twitter has over 206 million daily active users with many savvy entrepreneurs making a huge amount of money tweeting each day.

Once you build up an audience, affiliate marketing is a simple way to earn $50 – $100 a day. To get started, you need to set up your bio the right way and spend time engaging with other big accounts.

It’s best to build your Twitter account around a niche subject so you become an authority. Subjects that do well include:

• Finance/make money online
• Health and fitness
• Relationships

Once you get a good following, you can start promoting an affiliate product under your tweets.

As an affiliate, you’ll receive 25% – 75% of the sale of a product purchased through your unique link.

9. Start a Niche Blog

Blogging is a great way to earn passive income from advertising, selling eBooks, paid memberships, affiliate marketing and paid guest posting.

You will need a little patience and determination to start making money, but it’s a great lifestyle business that can pay you enough to live on eventually.

To get started, think of a niche topic you want to write about. Do your research on popular blog trends, so you write about subjects that people want to read about.

Examples of blog niches that make money include:

• Food and recipes
• Health and fitness
• Make money and save money
• Travelling
• Digital marketing and tech
• Self-care and personal development

Once you’ve decided on a topic, use NameCheap to search for an available domain name.

Next, purchase hosting for your website. I use Siteground and believe they offer the best security and customer service (which is essential when you’re a beginner!).

You can grab their Startup Plan for a tiny $2.99 a month!

This is well worth the investment when you think how much money a blog can make.

 

10. Take Surveys for Quick Cash

Surveys are a quick and easy way to earn cash to your PayPal account. You can even choose to redeem your earnings through gift cards at big retailers like Amazon.

Fill out surveys in your spare time and even while watching TV in the evenings.

Many of the survey sites offer extra ways to earn as well, like playing games, watching videos and referring friends.

Try out these high-paying survey sites:

While taking surveys alone won’t make you $2,000 fast, combine this with another side hustle on this list to bump up your earnings.

 

11. Rent Out Your Gadgets

Do you have cool gadgets lying around your home that you hardly use anymore?

Why not put them to work by renting them out on Fat Llama. This is a legit site where you can rent out almost anything, but the items that make the most money include:

• Drones
• Bikes
• DJ equipment
• Cameras
• Musical instruments
• Electric scooters
• Sewing machines
• Transport vehicles

Everything is covered by a lender’s guarantee, so you can have peace of mind your item is protected.

When searching how to make $2000 fast, renting gadgets is well worth it.

You can easily earn $50 a day and if you rent out multiple gadgets at this price, you’ll have 2K in no time.

 

12. Teach English Online

Teaching English is a fun, rewarding way to make $2,000 fast online.

You can work from home or while travelling and many companies will let you choose the hours that suit you.

Requirements to become an English teacher online include being a native English speaker and having a laptop with fast internet.

Some tutor platforms will require you to have a Bachelor’s degree or a teaching qualification such as a TEFL.

However, many will allow you to teach English online with no experience.

If this interests you, check out these English teaching platforms:

English teachers online earn between $15 and $22 an hour, depending on experience and qualifications.

 

13. Sell Stuff on Facebook Marketplace

It’s easy to sell your stuff on the Facebook Marketplace and there are thousands of eager buyers waiting to purchase.

One man’s rubbish is another man’s gold as the saying goes! Take a look around your home – there’s sure to be a few items you no longer use that someone else might find useful.

To sell your items on Facebook, you need to:

• Tap on Marketplace
• Click on the ‘sell’ tab
• Select a category for your item
• Add in a price, title and description
• Upload multiple photos
• Publish your Marketplace listing
• Wait for buyers
• Enjoy extra cash in your pocket!

 

14. Advertise on Your Car

If you own a car and drive multiple miles a day, you can make passive income with car advertising.

Sites like Wrapify work with advertisers to offer them rolling billboards. Businesses pay for space on your car and you drive around as usual and earn.

To get started, download the Wrapify app, sign up to become a driver, complete the onboarding process and receive offers for your area.

There are no up-front costs and you can earn $500 or more a month, just for doing what you already do.

 

15. Perform Tasks with TaskRabbit

Task Rabbit works a little different to normal freelancer platforms. Here you’ll be tasked with onsite jobs rather than online.

If you have a niche skill or knowledge, or if you just have spare time to help out, you can set up a profile and start earning in your area.

A few popular tasks that make money on Task Rabbit include:

• Handyman
• Buying groceries
• Putting furniture together
• Helping people move
• Computer help
• Yard work
• Car washing
• Pet sitting
• Cleaning

To get started making money, hit the ‘Become a Tasker’ tab, fill out your details and complete your profile.

Taskers earn anywhere between $10 and $100 per project, so you can easily make $2000 fast when you need it.

 

16. Develop Apps and Websites

Have you built your own website before? Know how to code? If yes, you can make $2000 fast helping someone else with these tasks.

Tech jobs pay really well, especially if you freelance. You can set your own rate per project or by the hour.

If this type of work is new to you, learn how to create apps even with zero tech skills.

Also check out the many places online to take coding and web development classes free, such as:

 

17. Offer Graphic Design Services

Graphic design is another in-demand skill that people will pay for.

This type of work includes creating logos, flyers, brochures, business cards, t-shirt designs or custom imagery for a website or video channel.

You can offer graphic design services on Fiverr. The price you charge depends on the complexity of the job and your experience.

For example, a simple logo that takes you 20 minutes, could be priced at $10. For a complex logo, for a big business, that has multiple elements and detail, you could charge up to $300.

To attract customers and show you know what you’re doing, have a portfolio website ready to display your designs.

Take a look at this free graphic design course on Alison, if you need help getting started.

 

18. Rent a Room on Airbnb

According to research, Airbnb hosts earn on average $924 a month.

Of course, this figure will vary depending on where you’re based and the quality of your room rented out.

However, when you’re searching how to make $2000 fast, this is a great side hustle to earn doing very little.

All you have to do is list your room, answer questions from interested parties and make sure renters get a key. You’ll also have to make sure the room is clean and tidy in between each booking.

But, if you have the space, this is a money-maker not to be missed. Have a browse through Airbnb hosts in your area to get an idea of what you could be earning.

Have a look at this Get Ready to Host: Beginners Video Guide to help you get started.

 

19. Invest in the Stock Market

Investing in the stock market is a top way to make $2,000 fast online.

You can get started with as little as $5 and earn for doing very little. Investing in stocks is basically buying shares of ownership of a public company.

As the company grows and does well over time (hopefully), your shares will become more valuable. This is how you make a profit when you decide to sell.

If you’re new to investing, get help from a robo-investor such as Acorns.

After signing up for an Acorns account, you are given $10 completely free.

Acorns helps you grow passive income by automatically rounding up and investing the spare change from your purchases.

This is a great way to earn with little risk, as experts will be doing the work for you.

Join Acorns today and get a FREE $10 for signing up.

 

 

20. Create and Sell Online Courses

Do you have specialized knowledge or skills to teach the world?

E-learning is booming and made over 351 billion in 2021. You could take a cut of those profits this year, by creating and selling your own online courses.

Online learning is way more lucrative than teaching in the classroom. While you can only teach a max of 30 students in a class, your online class can get taken by an unlimited amount of people around the world!

Plus, after the initial course creation work is finished, all income becomes passive and you earn forever.

To get started creating an online course, you need:

• A great idea.
• Laptop and fast WIFI.
• A quality microphone.
• Screen recording and editing software.

Courses that sell well include proofreading, business, freelance writing, web development and social media management skills.

However, you can even make money teaching unusual subjects, like these I’ve seen on Udemy:

• How to build a rocket?
• Learn to communicate with animals and nature.
• Dance floor confidence, how to dance at a club – for men.

Yes, really!

21. Work as a Transcriptionist

Transcription work is not the highest-paying career when you start out. But, with a little practice, you can move on to the better-paying legal and medical transcription areas.

Transcriptionists listen to audio files and transcribe what you hear into written text. Many people use transcribers such as lawyers, doctors, business owners and video marketers.

To get started, read this how to become a general transcriptionist guide.

As a new transcriptionist, expect to earn $7 – $15 an hour and with a little experience, $25 an hour or more.

Check out these companies hiring new transcriptionists:

22. Provide SEO and Digital Marketing Services

SEO and digital marketing specialists are in demand and charge big bucks for their time.

If you have knowledge of these services or are willing to learn, you can make $2000 fast helping others get traffic to their businesses.

SEO (search engine optimisation) is the process of improving the visibility of a website in search engines. The higher up in search a website is for keywords related to their business, the more traffic it will get.

You can charge by the hour or per project. If you’re new, take some free training like this course on Hubspot to give yourself credibility.

The average salary for an SEO specialist in the US is $54,544 per year according to Indeed.

 

23. Write and Improve Resumes

While there are many guides and tips online to help people write great resumes, many still struggle.

This is where you can step in and offer a resume writing or improvement service. Set yourself up on freelancer sites such as Fiverr and Upwork describing what you do and how much you charge.

Writing resumes can be done in your spare time and even become a full-time gig once you gain experience. By pricing your resume writing service at $50 and helping 40+ job seekers a month, you can make $2000 fast when you need it.

24. Make Money Dog Walking

The doggie daycare and dog walking business s booming!

If you love taking care of pampered pooches, you can make extra cash walking dogs in your area. Many people who work long hours don’t have time to do this themselves.

Have a search for ‘dog walking” companies in your area. Also, check local classified ads and ask around to see if any friends or neighbours need help.

The average salary for dog walkers in the US is $21.63 an hour according to Indeed.

Plus, it’s a fun job getting to hang around with dogs all day and be out in the fresh air!

 

25. Offer Web Design Services

Are you able to build and develop websites? This is a profitable skill to learn and will ensure you make $2000 fast and even more if you keep going.

If you’re a beginner, learn the basics with these free web design courses on Udemy and at the  Webflow University.

Many people will pay good money for you to build and develop a beautiful, responsive website. A great looking website will attract and keep customers happy, so make a business money.

You could set up as a freelance web designer and charge $500 per website or work for a company.

A full-time web designer earns upwards of $62,357 per year in the US according to Talent.

 

26. Start a YouTube Channel

It’s possible to earn $2000 a month or more with your own YouTube channel.

YouTube is like an online university, with many ordinary people sharing their knowledge on a range of subjects. If you know how to do something well, you can make money as well.

YouTube channel ideas include:

• Hairstyling
• Beauty tips
• Travel
• Fitness and nutrition
• Make money online
• Gaming

Once you get enough channel subscribers you can apply to be part of the YouTube advertiser program where ads will be shown on your videos. This will make you passive income on your videos, for years to come.

You can even get brand sponsorships once your channel has enough authority. This means businesses will pay for you to endorse their products on your channel for a commission.

Building a popular YouTube channel does take some effort and it’ll take some time to get to the money-making stage. But, YouTube is massive and is only going to keep on growing in popularity.

27. Start Babysitting

Many people need a babysitter full-time and part-time. If you’re great with kids, you can make money babysitting in your area.

There are sites that allow you to set up a profile detailing your experience and rates. If a parent likes what they see, you’ll be contacted to see if you’re available for the hours they need.

Once you build up a good relationship with a few kids and their parents and get regular work, you can easily make $2000 a month.

 

28. Flip Domain Names or Websites

Flipping domain names and websites can be a lucrative career. Many people make thousands per month, once they know how to work the process.

It works by buying a domain name or website cheaply and selling it on for a profit later on. For example, you can purchase cheap starter websites on Flippa.

These will have relatively low traffic or no traffic at all. You can improve the site by adding content, improving SEO (search engine optimisation) and adding income streams.

Once you’ve added value, you can re-list the site for sale on Flippa and sell for a higher price. This does take work, but with practice, you can make $2000 in a month.

Selling domain names for profit is a little trickier. Many of the best domain names have been bought already. Here are a few top-selling domain names for inspiration:

• Voice.com – sold for $30 million in 2019
• 360.com – sold for $17 million in 2015
• Sex.com – sold for $13 million in 2010

 

A really obvious idea to make $2000 fast is to work extra hours at your job. It’s tough to put in double shifts, but if the work is available, this can be one of the easiest ways to earn more.

Talk with your boss and see if you can get extra hours. At least you know that the money will go straight into your bank account the next month without you having to chase it.

 

30. Make Money Flipping Furniture

It’s possible to make $2000 in a week or a month by flipping furniture. You’ll need cash upfront to buy the furniture, but you’ll make this back, plus more.

Some furniture you’ll be able to buy and sell on without much effort. For other furniture, you can spend a little time doing it up and sell it for even more profit.

Browse for suitable items at garage sales, flea markets, local Gumtree ads, Craigslist and online seller platforms such as the Facebook Marketplace.

 

31. Start a Street Food Stall

Starting a street food business is another way to make good money.

You could sell homemade cakes, sandwiches and small meals such as stir-fries or pasta. If you’re from a particular country, selling your local speciality will help you gain more interest over the competition.

People love to eat out and try new dishes. By starting a street food business, you can bring new food to the local community that they may not have tried before.

You’ll need a little startup capital to set up your stall or food truck. But, to keep costs down, start by cooking yourself and asking friends and family to help out.

 

32. Help People Move Home

If you have your own van or truck, you can help people move their belongings.

Moving home is stressful and costly, especially when you have a lot of things. You can help make the move smoother by taking care of the heavy lifting.

Create business cards with your contact details on. Hand them out around your neighbourhood and knock on the door of any homes with ‘Sold’ signs on.

It helps to get proactive searching for removal work. You can even talk to people in local Facebook groups and detail what you do in a classified ad.

 

33. Clean Property in Your Spare Time

Cleaning is another in-demand type of work that local businesses and homeowners will pay for.

Many people can’t do the cleaning themselves or just don’t have time for it. Offering cleaning services is a surefire way to make $2000 fast, once you get your name about town.

Anyone can start making money cleaning. You don’t require any special skills except basic cleaning skills and the right cleaning tools.

Approach people around your neighbourhood, offering a discounted cleaning cost for the first clean. Ask for reviews of your work which can be used as social proof on your social media to reel new clients in.

 

34. Start a Laundry Side Hustle

Starting a laundry business is another simple way to make extra money each month.

Busy workers, students and families don’t always have time to do laundry themselves. You could step in and offer to take the work on for them, for a few.

If you have a decent-sized washing machine, you can do the laundry from home. If not, using a laundry shop should be simple enough if you can get there when it’s not too busy.

Once you gain enough regular clients, you should be able to make $2000 in a month.

 

35. Become a Social Media Influencer

When searching how to make $2000 fast, working as a social media influencer is one of the best ideas.

Social media influencers make huge amounts of money promoting brands and products. It’s possible to earn thousands every month and eventually, per post, as an influencer.

It’s best to set yourself up as an expert in a specific niche. Popular ones for influencers include beauty, fashion, fitness and photography.

After you have enough followers on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook you can reach out to brands, and they will start to reach out to you.

When you’re starting out, expect to make around $100 per post. But, once you hit 10,000 to 50,000 followers, it’s possible to earn between $40,000 to $100,000 per year, according to Vox.

We all know nobody has a money tree in their backyard that grows dollar bills you can pick on-demand. However, you can still get money right now if you’re dealing with an unexpected bill, home repair, medical expense, or whatever it may be that is causing you to scramble for a quick money WITHOUT having to borrow it.

Making Extra Money With Your Car or House

Most of us have either a car or a house and which means you can put each of them to work for you to make money. Here are a few of my favorites when it comes to having your car or house go to work for you!

1. Deliver Food, Drinks and Groceries to People

Have you ever thought about delivering food with DoorDash?

Doordash is a service where people can order food, drinks and groceries and have them available for delivery or pickup. The people who provide that service and get paid, are people just like yourself.

Postmates states that experienced couriers can earn up to $25 an hour and work on their own hours.

However, if you only want to deliver groceries to people, then you should also sign up for Instacart.

Instacart pays people quickly to deliver groceries from grocery store to their clients doorstep. Currently, people working with Instacart are making anywhere from $50 – $1,000 per month as a side hustle.

2. Become an Uber Driver

Uber is a great option if you have a car and like interacting with people. There are two additional reasons to consider driving for Uber:

• Flexible hours
• Weekly pay
• Signup incentive for new drivers

Another reason to consider Uber is for their schedule flexibility; you drive when you have time and aren’t beholden to a specific shift or having to be available at least X hours a week.

You can find more information here to determine if driving with Uber is right for you.

3.  Deliver for Uber Eats

Uber Eats allows you earn on your own schedule by delivering food from restaurants to people.

The best thing about Uber Eats is you get to choose your wheels based on the city you live in. Depending on your city, you can deliver for Uber Eats via your car, bike or scooter. Just turn on the app in the morning before work, when you get home, or whenever you have some extra time to make money on your terms.

Also, the driver qualifications are less stringent for Uber Eats. In case you don’t meet the age and vehicle requirements to be a full-fledged Uber driver, you can be an Uber Eats driver until then.

4. Become an Airbnb Host

Become and Airbnb Host and you can start making really good income each month. There are many of benefits to being a homeowner, including the option to rent out your unused rooms for cash. But, by becoming an Airbnb host, travelers stay in your spare bedroom, basement, or second house.

Real estate is one time-tested approach to earning passive income and Airbnb can be less stressful than being a full-time landlord or trying to fix and flip houses for a profit. And, you get to interact with visitors coming from all corners of the world!

5. Rent Out Your Car

If you don’t drive your car every day or have the time to be an Uber driver, you can make some extra cash by renting your car on Turo. You can earn on average $877 a month ($10,516 a year) when your car is worth between $25,000 – $35,000. This income can easily cover your monthly insurance premium and car payment.

Considering most cars are depreciating assets that lose value every day and cost money to maintain, renting your car on Turo is one of the very few ways your car can actually make money for you.

You will receive payment within five days after a rental period ends.

6. Rent Your Spare Bedroom

You can also make money by listing your spare bedroom or a second house as an Airbnb host. An increasing number of travelers prefer staying at Airbnb because it’s typically more reasonable than most hotel rooms and it’s a more enjoyable experience. Airbnb will help you through the listing process so you can begin taking guests and putting your vacant real estate to good use.

I Need Money Now – Earning Online

The good news is if you really need money right now, you can get money right now. Whether you want to make money from home, from an app on your phone or you’re willing to put your skills to work, here are some great ways to start earning income today.

7. Trade In Your Cell Phone and Put $475 in Your Pocket

Buyback Boss is who I continue to use whenever we upgrade to a new phone because they guarantee the most money for your phone and they send same-day payments via check or PayPal.

If you have an old phone in a drawer somewhere, why not sell it today and get paid ASAP? Think of that old phone as cash sitting in your drawer that you need right now.

You can also downgrade to last year’s model (often getting the phone for a few dollars with a new contract) and sell your current phone for up to $695. Here’s a screenshot I snapped of the latest offer I received on my current used phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) in good condition.

 

8. Get Money Sent to Your PayPal For Your Opinion

Survey Junkie is a great place to start because cash can be deposited into your PayPal account, or you can get paid out via Amazon or Target gift cards for simply giving you opinion online.

We also have a full list of all different types of survey companies who are looking to pay people for their opinions on different products and brands. You can see the full list of the top survey companies here.

Our Top Pick: Survey Junkie has been around since 2005 and is the most trusted in the survey industry with a Trustpilot Rating of 4.4/5.

You can start making money today by checking out Survey Junkie here.

 

9. Get Paid to Play Games

Yes, you can actually get paid to play games.

Mistplay is one of the very best places to get started.

The reason is online game creators need to have their games tested by real people before they launch it out to the market. 

For testing out their games on you mobile device, apps like Mistplay will pay via credits. These credits can then be cashed out in the form of different gift cards, including Visa or Amazon gift cards.

We also put together a full list of places that will pay you to play games here.

10. Teach English Online

Earn $14/hr – $22/hr teaching English online to international students. This can be the perfect side hustle opportunity if you want to work before your children wake up or after bedtime. VIPKid is one of the leading online classrooms. To get started, you need a webcam, microphone, and a love for teaching.

Most of these online teaching sites require you to have a teaching degree or prior classroom experience.

11. Save Money and Make Money with the Honey App

The Honey App will search every online coupon for you and apply the best promo code at your checkout for free. This is the first way to save money.

Also, for every 2 people you refer to Honey, they will pay you $10 in the form of popular gift cards like Amazon, Walmart and Target.

By reducing how much you spend, you won’t have to earn as much money from these side hustles. Honey makes it easy to save money when you shop online by automatically applying every known discount code to your order when you checkout.

If you shop at Amazon, Honey also compares the prices of third-party sellers to the current Amazon price to quickly spot the lowest price so you pay less for the exact same product.

With no additional effort, Honey saves you money on products you are going to purchase regardless. Now, make sure you put your savings to good use!

You can also learn about the triple savings hack with honey here.

12. Complete Mini-Online Tasks

Swagbucks is the best place to start when for getting paid to complete tasks such as reading emails, surfing the web, playing games, shopping online and using mobile apps to name a few.

BONUS: One thing I really like about Swagbucks is the option to donate to one of the many charities they work with.

Our Top Pick: The most widely known company is Swagbucks, with a Trust Pilot Rating of 4.3/5.

With Swagbucks, you earn swagbucks that can be redeemed for cash via your PayPal or through gift cards to places like Walmart, Amazon, Express, or even Bass Pro Shops.

 

13. Get a quick $10 with Rakuten 

Rakuten sends you cash via PayPal for shopping online or in stories at places you already normally shop.

Let’s be clear, unnecessary shopping is one of the last activities you need to do if you need to get money fast, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a smart shopper for those unavoidable purchases. My wife and I shop with Ebates and get up to 40% cash back on nearly every online purchase.

Ebates cashback arrives once a quarter via PayPal or mailed check and you can get a bonus by referring your friends to shop with Ebates too. Using Ebates is like getting paid to shop.

Also, you can get a free $10 when you create an account with Rakuten today.

14. Freelance Online with Fiverr

Freelancing online with Fiverr is another great way to make money online. With Fiverr, you use your talents online without performing manual labor. Here are some of the possible gigs you can perform:

• Writing blog posts
• Graphic design
• Website design
• Creating YouTube videos
• Translation
• Proofreading
• Voice Over
• Jingles, sound effects, and songs

Similar to Fiverr, Upwork is another great platform for aspiring freelancers.

I have been freelancing online for the past two years and it’s been an excellent source of supplemental income because you can truly work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection and get paid.

15. Proofread

If you have an eye for detail and can spot typos from a mile away when you read the news or visit a restaurant, you might find your calling as a proofreader. Several proofreading companies require prior experience, but you can also get your foot in the door at other freelancer platforms including Upwork and Fiverr.

If you are looking to perfect your craft as a proofreader and earn more money, look into Caitlin Pyle’s Proofread Anywhere program.

16. Create an Online Course

With Udemy, you can create a video course to teach others something you’re an expert in. Your video can be teaching computer coding, cooking skills, making a craft, or anything else in the Udemy course catalog. You collect a royalty for each course purchase and you can easily create new courses to continue earning residual income.

17. Transcribe Audio Recordings

Do you excel at dictation? Audio transcriptionists put sound recordings to paper. With sites like TranscribeMe, you transcribe one or two-minute recordings on a variety of topics. If you have medical or legal experience, you can make extra money transcribing these recordings that require a professional background.

18. Test Websites and Apps

Another fun way to make money online is testing websites and apps. UserTesting is one of the most popular testing platforms. Each test takes up to twenty minutes to complete and you make $10. At that rate, you make $30 an hour for testing websites!

To become a tester, you will need a computer or app that has a functioning webcam and microphone. You are given a series of tasks to complete during the test and you verbally share your thoughts as you complete each task.

19. Sell Unwanted Gift Cards

Sometimes, you don’t have to work to make money because you already have it in unwanted gift cards. Instead of letting your gift cards collect dust, sell them on Gift Card Granny.

You can sell your unused and partially used gift cards quickly with three different selling options:

• Sell It Now
• Name Your Price
• Trade In

Gift Card Granny finds the best price on the top gift card marketplaces and you get paid almost instantly when a sale is made.

I have sold several gift cards online almost always within 24 hours of posting and payment is sent via PayPal within three business days. Selling gift cards is one of the quickest ways to get money fast because of the quick turnaround.

20. Sell Unused Clothing

As your fashion tastes change or your children grow older, you might find yourself with a closet full of clothes you’ll never wear again. While you can sell them at a yard sale or local consignment shop, you might also consider selling online at thredUP for men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing.

For designer clothing you wish to keep but don’t plan to wear in the near future, Rent the Runway lets you rent your high-end articles for up to one month at a time.

Finally, my wife has also had success selling on eBay and Poshmark. To increase the odds of selling your items, make sure to take plenty of pictures and consider wearing them or putting them on a mannequin so the buyer can visualize how the item fits.

21. Sell Your Old Books

You can also make a quick buck by selling your used books and textbooks that you’ll no longer read. Selling our old books is another way we boost our income each year and you can start with these three sites:

Selling is easy as you only have to enter the ISBN to receive an instant quote from Cash4Books and Bookscouter. If you like the price, you ship the books for free using their prepaid shipping label and you will be paid via PayPal once your shipment arrives and is processed.

I recommend using Bookscouter for selling your textbooks as they compare the prices of 42 buyback vendors in a single search; saving you time while finding the best buyer.

22. Sell Movies, Music, and Video Games

You can also make some extra cash by selling your old DVDs, CDs, and video games with Bonavendi. With their app, you can scan barcodes and compare the prices of 28 companies including Amazon and Best Buy.

23. Sell Old Electronics

Decluttr can be the most efficient app to sell your old electronics, smartphone, and tech gadgets. The Decluttr app scans item barcodes and you receive next-day payments via PayPal and direct deposit once Decluttr receives your shipment. College students can also receive a 10% bonus payment to earn a little extra cash.

Make Exta Money In Your Local Area

You should also consider making money within your local community. After all, not everybody wants to stare at a computer screen to make extra income. If you enjoy being on the move or have handy skills there are plenty of ways to have a gig without working a regular shift.

Also, ask your friends and family if they have any potential clients. Word of mouth referral is always one of the most effective forms of advertising.

24. Become a Handyman

If you are handy around the home and you’re capable of any of the following:

• Home improvement
• Mounting and installing new household devices
• Furniture assembly
• Moving and packing

Then it’s time to get connected with people who are in need of a Handyman. Check out Handy.com to get connected with someone in your area.

25. Mow Lawns

You can also mow lawns and offer basic landscaping services to make money to while improving curb appeal for the homeowner.  This is a great idea to boost your income in the summer months when there’s more daylight and you’re probably outside already.

If you live in a region with significant snowfall, you can get paid during all four seasons to keep lawns and driveways in tiptop shape.

26. Clean Houses

Another way to make money any month of the year is to clean houses or places of business. You can find openings on Craigslist or on Handy.com. For example, you might be able to clean vacation cabins on the weekends if you live near a touristy area. Or, cleaning services might also be looking for people to clean office buildings or industrial properties.

Depending on your personal network, you can also ask your friends and family if they know of anybody that needs help cleaning. Asking a simple question can help you find long-term clients or cleaning before somebody has company arrive to visit.

27. Donate Plasma

There’s a perpetual demand for plasma to treat rare, chronic diseases and you can make $400 each month by donating your plasma. Maybe this is something you or your friends did in college for some extra “weekend money.” You must be at least 110 pounds, at least 18-years-old in most states to donate and free of certain illnesses.

28. Get Cashback on Grocery Purchases

Each time you shop at grocery stores, you can get cashback with iBotta or Checkout51 . By activating offers and scanning your receipts, both of these apps gives you a cash reward for every redeemed offer. These cash rewards are in addition to any paper coupons you might clip, and you can potentially double your savings.

Checkout51 publishes their newest offers every Thursday. Once your account balance reaches $20, you can request a cash payment.

29. Become a TaskRabbit

There are people who need simple tasks completed but simply don’t have the time. Whether it’s putting together furniture from iKea, delivering a dresser across town, or trimming some overgrown bushes in the backyard – people will hire you.

Here are the top three places to find work using your phone:

Simply create a bio about yourself and then start looking for the task requests to pour in. I personally can tell you I utilize one of these three apps a week to find someone to do tasks for me!

30. Sell Locally on Craigslist

Bulky items aren’t cost-effective to sell online because they cost too much to ship. When that’s the case, sell locally with Craigslist or another app to sell locally. We periodically sell our unwanted items during the year and pocket 100% profit because it’s free to sell on these apps.

Beyond Craigslist, there are also dozens of other similar websites where you can sell your stuff locally as well.

31. Scan Grocery Receipts and Get $10

Earlier we told you ways to make money delivering through places like Postmates, Instacart and Uber Eats. However, there is still other money to be made by simply scanning grocery receipts.

Scanning grocery receipts for money is a real thing and there are over 20 apps that allow you to get started. While some are better than others, we recommend starting with the most popular receipts scanning app, Ibotta.

Our Top Pick: We like Ibotta because you can redeem digital offers plus your regular coupons for many food items at most supermarkets and even discount stores like Walmart and Target, and you also get a $10 sign-up bonus. When your rewards balance reaches $20, you can request PayPal payment or a gift card.

32. Recycle Scrap Material

It’s also possible to make money recycling scrap material for cash. You can get cash for some of the following items you might have in your house:

• Loose metal (i.e., sheet metal, copper, tire rims)
• Appliances
• Metal cans
• Glass bottles

For larger objects like your old washer and dryer, you will need a truck and trailer to haul your scrap off. You can look online for scrap yards and recycle-for-cash facilities near you.

33. Picking Up Dog Poop

You can also make money picking up dog poop when you don’t have the time to walk dogs or pet sit. Why? Because it only takes a few minutes to clean up a backyard compared to keeping a pet for several hours.

One man operates a full-time business picking up dog poop for a premium in the Phoenix area. You can scroll down to #73 on this side hustle list to see a video of how he turned dog poop into a full-time income.

34. Sell Used Furniture

Did you recently upgrade your living room or dining room set? If there’s still some life in your old furniture collection, get a few bucks for it. When it comes to selling furniture, you have have plenty of great options to sell your stuff.

35. Sell Your Car

Another way to raise cash quickly is to sell a car you no longer need. Even if you need to sell your fancy ride and drive a clunker instead, how else can you access $10,000+ instantly.

Especially with the the prices of used-cars at an all-time high, now may be the perfect opportunity to turn your car into well needed cash.

36. Have a Yard Sale

Decluttering helps you discover a small fortune sitting underneath your roof. The only problem is that you must sell your stuff to get cash. Having a yard sale is one of the quickest ways to sell most of your items in a weekend.

Coordinating your yard sale with your neighborhood sale is a good idea, but you should also post your sale on:

• Craigslist
• Facebook Marketplace
• Your local newspaper

37. Pick Up Trash

You might find this income stream a tad bizarre, but you can make money picking up trash! Brian from Clean Lots has been doing it for thirty years and makes a six-figure income.

Business and shopping center parking lots don’t clean themselves. If you’re not afraid of getting your hands a little dirty, you can put some extra green in your wallet.

Tip: Hear Brian’s story on Episode 59 of the Money Peach Podcast.

38. Sell Your Clothes

You could do what you always do and hold a garage sale, or you can also try selling your clothes to a nearby consignment store. It’s less work and you might make more money! You can also use the same tactic for bulky household goods that are too expensive to ship to an online buyer.

Another option is to try selling your more valuable clothes online if you think you can earn more selling it yourself. Make sure you take good pictures and factor shipping prices into the equation too.

39. Flip Garage Sale Finds

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Some people might be selling their treasures at a discount because they need money now. By perusing garage sales and thrift stores, you can find bargains that can be sold online for a profit.

You can also scour the “Free” section on Craigslist for steals too. Once you figure out the average selling price of the items you plan to flip, shopping will be much easier and quicker.

You will need to find the system that works best for you to find treasures and the best places to sell them.

Every town has a different dynamic to find discounted items. One tip is to visit the thrift stores in the wealthier parts of your town as they are more likely to sell quality items at steep discounts. For example, you might be able to find designer clothing for a dollar that can be sold for $10 or more.

40. Wash Cars for Cash

You can offer to wash cars by hand by having a mobile car wash station or you can travel to a person’s house to wash the car. If you provide house calls or interior detailing, you need to provide your own cleaning supplies in addition to the car wash soap you use.

It’s also possible to offer exterior car waxing services to if you have the time and want to make some additional cash.

41. Pressure Wash Houses

Here’s one task that many homeowners neglect is pressure washing their home. Some people only pressure wash their homes when they get ready to sell it. You can advertise your services online or the old-fashioned way of knocking on doors.

To increase your chances of landing a job, take before and after pictures of a few homes that you pressure wash. Being able to show your clients visual examples of your quality work goes a long way.

42. Participate in Paid Clinical Studies

Another option for making money locally is to participate in paid medical studies. You can find studies by searching for “paid medical studies near me” to find paid opportunities. You can also ask your local college or medical center if they are aware of any opportunities too.

When medical studies are available, you may have to be experiencing certain medical conditions. You will also need to be okay with being a “medical guinea pig” and testing new medications and treatment ideas.

43. Teach Lessons

All those piano lessons or karate lessons your parents paid for can finally be put to good use. You can teach a skill one night a week or multiple nights depending on how many students you have. Whether it’s music lessons, karate, gymnastics, or another talent you can teach individually or to a group, you can advertise locally to get students.

Once you decide what you can teach, you can advertise your services on Craigslist or also leave flyers at local businesses, community centers, or the public library.

44. Babysit

Parents sometimes need a break–date night— from their children and need to hire a babysitter. Besides asking for your family and friends for gigs, you can always advertise your services on Care.com.

45. Pet Sitting and Dog Walking

Animals need loving too and you can make just as much money pet sitting when their owners leave town or work long hours. Dog walking is another daily hustle opportunity as you take the dogs on their daily walk so their owner doesn’t have to.

Believe it or not, some professional dog walkers make $100,000 a year for doing something that millions of dog owners do every day for free.

A great place to begin advertising your pet sitting and dog walking services is at Rover.

46. Shovel Snow

You can also make money during the winter shoveling driveways and sidewalks. By owning a truck and plow, you can earn more keeping parking lots clean. Because snow removal is more labor-intensive than mowing a lawn, you can earn more per property than mowing (I did at least).

47. Clean Gutters and Rake Leaves

In the fall, you can also rake leaves and clean gutters before winter sets in. Once again, these are simple tasks that most homeowners simple don’t enjoy doing and offer a decent income if you enjoy working outside.

48. Pressure Wash Houses

Most houses need to be pressure washed every two or three years to maintain that “new” look. Many homeowners either don’t own a pressure washer or don’t have the time to keep their siding clean. You can advertise your services online or simply start knocking on doors to get your first clients.

49. Paint Houses

If you own a paint sprayer, can smoothly roll paint, or know how to seamlessly cut in wall edges, painting houses is another possibility. This is one task most homeowners won’t attempt on their own, especially if they aren’t a skilled painter or they are preparing to sell their house and want a professional-quality job.

50. Collect Scrap Metal

You or your family and friends might have a garage full of old household appliances. Maybe you have acquired a small scrap metal collection from your other side hustle opportunities. Regardless of how you (legally) collect your scrap, taking your ferrous and non-ferrous metal to a local scrap yard will yield an instant payment.

Some of the best ferrous and non-ferrous metals to collect are:

• Aluminum
• Brass
• Copper
• Steel

You will get the best price by bringing a single, large load compared to many small loads–even if they’re the same weight. Scrap yards have an easier time selling larger quantities to buyers and reward you with a volume bonus for making their job easier.

51. Deliver Newspapers

Newspaper routes are a steady part-time income stream if you can work in the early morning hours before your regular job or classes. If there are multiple newspaper in your town, you can also apply for a route that might deliver only a few days per week–instead of all seven– if you can’t commit to delivering papers every day of the week.

52. Deliver Phone Books

A one-time, seasonal hustle is delivering phone books five days a week. You need to be at least 18-years-old and have a driver’s license to participate. PDC is one of the largest delivery companies and they might be looking for delivery people like you.

53. Cut Firewood

Many people still heat their houses with wood in the winter or need wood for summer camping trips, but they don’t have access to their own firewood source. Or, they don’t have the time to cut their own wood. Cutting and delivering firewood is another in-demand income stream.

Make Better Decisions with the Money You Have

Whether it’s getting on a budget or learning how to manage the money you currently have, you still get a raise. In fact, the biggest raise you will ever receive in your working lifetime is not when you make more money, but when you control the money you already have.

54. Get on a Budget

Most of us don’t like the word budget because it’s so restrictive, right? We think if we are on a budget, then the result is our life goes from fun to awful in a blink of an eye.

But what if a budget was simply a plan for your money. Instead of wondering where it went at the end of each month, what if you decided where it went? What would it feel like if you were in control of your money each month?

Creating a budget is easier than you may think.

Step 1: Start a free and simple budget today.

55. Ditch Your Permanent Life Insurance Policy

One of the worst “investments” an adult can make is buying permanent life insurance – aka Cash Value Policy. In most cases, the policy benefits are not worth the extra cost. Apply for a term life insurance policy instead that can be ten times cheaper than a permanent life insurance policy. Once you have your new term policy in place, cash out your cash value immediately!

56. Switch to a Credit Union

This hack won’t give you more spending money, but it helps you make better decisions with the money you have. Banks are owned by investors and customers like you and I are there to make profits for the investors. Credit unions on the other and are non-profit, and they don’t have investors — they have members. When you become a member at a credit union, you will enjoy lower fees, better rates, and a member-focus versus an investor focus.

57. Refinance Your High Interest Debt

There are much better options for you instead of high interest credit card debt or any high interest debt for that matter. Borrowers are literally saving thousands of dollars in interest payments by trading their higher interest debt for a lower interest personal loan. The nice thing is you have so many more options than you did just a few years ago and with the competition for your business, your new interest rate could be much lower than what you have now.

Check our our favorite places to start for lowering your high interest debt.

Immediately Cut Your Spending for an Instant Pay Raise

Are you ready to learn the secret on getting an immediate pay raise? Reduce your monthly spending.

For example, if you can spend $100 less each month than right now, you get an instant $1,200 indirect pay raise for the year. And, it might only take a few minutes to make a few quick changes to immediately begin saving money.

Besides using your free time to make money, you can also use these money hacks to instantly cut your spending. Another mantra you might take to hear is, “Spend less, work less.” By cutting your spending, maybe you don’t have to sacrifice your work/life balance to make extra money.

59. Save Your Spare Change

Maybe you’ve heard the tip of stashing all of your $1 bills in a savings envelope instead of keeping them into your wallet to spend on coffee and candy bars to easily save money for the future. The Acorns app makes it even easier to save and invest your spare change instead of spending it.

With each purchase, Acorns rounds up the purchase amount to the next dollar for every credit or debit card purchase. For example, a $4.25 purchase becomes $5 and the extra 75 cents is invested to build a small nest egg. You can also get extra cash investments by shopping online through Acorns retail partners too.

60. Stop Paying High Investing Fees

Each time you buy or sell a stock or ETF, your brokerage might charge up to $7 per trade. If you’re only investing small amounts of income at a time or are simply tired of paying hundreds of dollars in trade commissions each year M1 Finance is an option you should definitely give a look.

62. Cancel Your Cable TV Subscription

The average household cable TV bill is over $120 a month and most people only watch 20 of the 100s of channels to choose from. We dumped our cable years ago and use services like Hulu for our favorite shows with SlingTV for a total of $26/month (and no contracts).

By cutting the cord, you instantly save $100 a month on cable TV by streaming live and on-demand programming over your high-speed internet. Sling TV can be watch with any flat screen TV, computer, or mobile device.

63. File Price Protection Claims for Online Orders

You can already get cashback on every online purchase when you shop with a shopping app like Ebates and you can get additional cash back if the price drops after you make the purchase.

With Paribus, you can get free price protection notifications when a retailer drops the price on recent purchases. Paribus then submits the claim on your behalf, which means you don’t have to monitor for price changes yourself and then submit it.

64. Earn Credit Card Rewards

Many people stick with debit cards because you’re still required to immediately pay for your purchases with cash. While you won’t go into credit card debt, you’re missing out on credit card rewards for cash back or travel rewards.

If you are going to use a credit card, make sure to pay them off in full so you don’t incur high interest payments. The best way to do this is to set a reminder to pay your credit cards in full once per week. If you don’t feel like paying them in full each week, then set up auto-pay so you never carry a balance.

Also, choose the best credit card rewards that fit your lifestyle. If you notice you spend most of your money at the grocery store and on fuel costs, then you may want to look at a card that gives you the highest cash back on those types of purchases.

Conversely, if you are someone who enjoys traveling, then it may be a good idea to look at cards that offer the best travel perks.

65. Stop Going Out to Eat As Often

Food is a large portion of most people’s household budget. You might be spending more on food than you must because you go out to eat all the time. In many cases, you can make the same meals at home for a fraction of the cost. For a family of four, you can easily spend at least $40 for each restaurant meal.

If you don’t think it’s possible to feed a family on a budget, visit $5 Meal Plan. You can access delicious recipes that let you feed an army for pennies.

66. Switch to a Health Sharing Plan

You may not realize it, but health insurance is one of the largest monthly expenses. Switching to an affordable health sharing plan saves my family 75% in health insurance premiums compared to traditional health insurance. Honestly, it’s probably one of the best financial moves we made when I became self-employed.

Our Top Pick: There are many great health sharing options, but our favorite is Medi-Share because of the affordability AND their own MDLive program: a FREE add on that gives you 24/7 access to a doctor visit via your smartphone, which saves you time and money on co-pays!
