1. Freelance writing

If you like to write, freelance writing could be a good fit. And, you can make money in your pajamas. You can get paid to write an article for a business or a publication. I have written for several sites like:

Pay can vary by client and article length. I have made between $35 to $500 for a piece of content. How much you earn depends on your experience and the length of the article.

To help you connect with clients try Upwork or Contently. On these sites, clients are looking for written content from experts like you. You have to create a profile and writing samples.

2. Take online surveys

Taking surveys in your spare time can be a great way to earn some extra dough. While there are tons of online survey sites, one of the best is Survey Junkie.

With surveys, you can start making money as soon as today. Here’s the cool thing about Survey Junkie, you can take multiple surveys. And, you can join other survey sites if Survey Junkie isn’t enough. This way, you never run out of surveys to take in your free time.

3. Peer to Peer Lending

Nowadays, it’s easy to help out others who need money. And, you can earn a decent return on investment. This is because you skip the bank to lend money.

A good place to start is Lending Club. It’s a platform where 99.9% of investors have seen positive returns. In other words, lending money to people isn’t as risky as you think. With high-risk loans, you can earn as much as 25%. However, most investors invest in loans with better credit ratings. For most loans, the average returns are between 3–8%.

4. Get cashback on items you buy every day

Do you want to get paid to shop? Ebates pays you cash when you shop through their shopping portal.

Here’s the trick, only buy products you normally buy. And, don’t buy things just because they’re on sale. Otherwise, you spend money on things that you don’t need. The goal of joining is to make money, not spend it.

Plus, you can use another free app called Paribus. This price-tracking app negotiates a refund if something you buy goes on sale. Want an example? Let’s say you buy a tv, and it goes on sale three days later. You can get a price protection refund. Using Paribus is an easy way to monitor shopping purchases. Let’s face it, most of us don’t know about these claims.

5. Drive others for cash

Companies like Uber or Lyft pay you to drive others. How much you earn depends on a few factors like:

If you need a side gig, this is a great option with flexible hours. You can easily do this on the nights and weekends. So, even if you have a full-time job, you can drive as a side hustle. And, you’re not required to drive the same hours each week. You are your own boss!

Right now, Lyft is offering a $250 sign-up bonus.

6. Affiliate marketing

This skill is when you get paid for referring others to products or services. For instance, Amazon pays you when visitors buy products through your links. As a reward, you get paid. You will need a blog or website to post affiliate links. Having a social media presence helps you make money too.

If you want to increase your affiliate income, listen to my friend. Michelle earns over $100,000/month from her website. Her Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing course shares her expert tips with you. So, you may want to check it out to boost your earnings.

7. Mend/press clothing

Do you possess any of these skills?

If so, consider offering your skills as a tailor. Tailor work and small-scale pressing (ironing) are always in demand. As you know, busy people don’t have time for these basic tasks. And, you can easily work from your home in your free time.

In today’s world, skills such as mending and alterations aren’t taught. Hopefully, you have a knack for sewing. If so, you have a valuable, money-making talent on your hands.

8. Design your own t-shirts

If you’re creative and like to design things, then this may be a great fit for you. If so, check out a site called CafePress.

On CafePress, you can publish t-shirt designs that you create. When a customer purchases a design, you earn a portion of the profits. And, CafePress prints and ships the order to the buyer! So, you only have to upload designs. In short, this can be one of the easiest ways to make money selling t-shirts!

Other items you can sell on CafePress are:

Now, you can spend more time designing and less time selling. To sell more designs, a second site to try is Redbubble. Or, you can try selling on both to reach more buyers.

9. Write, publish and sell an e-book

Looking for a good way to earn some passive income? Write and publish an e-book on Amazon. Or, even self-publish on your own by creating a downloadable PDF. Start by choosing a topic you’re familiar with.

For example, you can create:

The Internet is full of articles on how to write and publish an e-book. Thankfully, the initial costs are small. Make sure to learn the ins and outs. Self-publishing is a lucrative industry once you gain experience.

10. Create an online course

Are you a subject expert? If so, you can charge others to learn from you! For instance, I have a friend who likes to build tables. He makes six figures by teaching others how to build tables through videos online.

You can sell your video courses on these online platforms:

If this interests you, invest in a camera and microphone. Then, be ready to motivate your students to become experts.

11. Flip merchandise

Can you recognize a good deal when you see one? Then, consider buying merchandise to resell on eBay. Or, try other sites like Amazon. Garage sales and thrift stores are full of obscure items. Often, people don’t know how valuable they are. Therefore, they sell them for less than what they’re worth. As a result, you can buy them for a discount and make a large profit.

Take advantage of these amazing deals. Use them to earn some money by reselling the items online.

12. Start a handyman business

If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, consider helping others with your skills. Also, most of your neighbors need handyman work done. Many people will gladly pay good money for your handy skills. You can take care of their small home repairs and maintenance tasks.

You can even create a profile on Amazon Services. This online directory helps you find local customers.

13. Teach exercise classes

Do you want to get paid to stay in shape? Maybe, you can teach one of these fitness classes:

First of all, consider offering your services at the local gym. Or, you can teach a class at your community center too.

Finally, it doesn’t take long to get certified to teach in these areas.

Make money exercising with the Achievement app too!

14. Become a photographer

Do you own a decent camera and like photography? Well, consider offering your photography skills for these events:

A good picture is worth a thousand words. And, they’re worth a lot of money too!

Here’s a tip, pet portraits are a growing niche. If you like photography and animals, this is a perfect option. Pet owners are paying a premium for you to take a picture of Fido.

15. Babysit or Be a Nanny

Do you like being around kids? Consider offering babysitting/nanny services. Many families are offering good pay for quality care for their children. And, it’s a perfect way to earn money for college students. Families search for nannies who will watch their children during summer break from school. Finally, you can babysit on weeknights too.

16. Become a caricature artist or face painting artist

You might be a good caricature or face painting artist. Corporate and sporting events often seek your services. If you have skills in either of these areas, put them to use! To start, seek out jobs at corporate events or your local sports stadium. Inquire about job needs by calling the general office.

Also, check out places like farmers’ markets, fairs, and other local events.

17. Sing at weddings or other events

Lend your singing talent to entertain guests at these events:

If you can sing, seek out these events to use your skill. And, spread the word about your talents to others. You might record an audio sample to give to potential clients too. Remember this; word-of-mouth referrals are priceless. Happy clients are the best way to build your brand.

18. Offer your car maintenance or mechanic services

It’s no surprise; mechanic services can be unbearably expensive. Maybe, you have a gift for car maintenance or repair. If so, consider starting a car maintenance repair business. You can go directly to the customer’s home garage.

And, you don’t have the expenses of owning your own car repair garage. As a result, your profit potential is likely higher. Plus, the customer will appreciate the personalized service.

19. Perform as a musician

For musicians, there are many ways to get paid to play music! Weddings, summer festivals, and other events will pay good money for your skills. Street musicians can also earn some decent cash for playing entertaining tunes. However, check with your local laws to ensure street music is legal first.

Most likely, you won’t make millions as a musician. But, it can be a decent way to make money on the side. And, you have fun in the process!

20. Capture video for special events

Show off your video producing/editing skills at these venues:

First, make sure you have a decent video camera. Or, a knack for turning pictures into videos. Then, advertise your services to party planners and families.

A well-produced video is important. It can make the difference between a good party and a great party. And, your talents help people capture memories they can revisit later.

There is even some free video editing software out there. So, if you have a good camera, start-up costs can below.

21. Teach music lessons

Do you play a musical instrument? Teach your skill to others wanting to learn how to play. Maybe, you will specialize in one instrument. Or, you can teach several like the piano and guitar.

To get started, post flyers at a community college or coffee shops. It may be surprising, but college students want to learn music too. And, they don’t want to do it in a for-credit class!

Typically, you can charge around $25 per 30-minute session. But, this depends on the area you live in.

22. Sell crafts

If you like to make things with your hands, then this might be up your alley. Etsy is a good place to sell those handmade crafts you’re so good at making.

My wife buys all sorts of things on Etsy such as customized stickers and shirts, etc.

This is a great way to sell physical products. To make the most money, follow these two tips:

Therefore, find a DIY craft marketplace that reaches your ideal buyer.

23. Teach nutrition classes

If you’re educated in eating well, consider teaching nutrition classes. A community center or school are two places to start. And, you can try a retirement home or your local library too.
