Ways To Make Extra Money Without A Job
Ways To Make Extra Money Without A Job
The amount of money you can make on the internet depends on the opportunities that are available and also depends on what you can do and your knowledge on it. There are some bloggers who make over 6 figures, and those who do make that much are experts on blogging! But, there are some who make a few dollars a day and some who make a few hundred dollars a month; it’s just like real life, all about supply and demand.
Here are some ways to make money without a traditional job:
1. Get paid to surf the web
Websites like paymentsurf.com will pay you to do what you already do… surf the web! The reason for this is to help business drive more traffic to their site, you can make about $!0 a day by only doing an hour of work!
2. Take online surveys
Taking online surveys might be one of the best way for people to make easy money. There are sites that conduct online surveys based on other companies who use your feedback to improve or develop new ideas/products. For you giving your input, they will give you cash, gifts cards, or other incentives. There are some people that can make hundreds of dollars a month by doing this.
Here are some sites:
- SurveySpot
- Valued Opinions
- MySurvey
- Toluna
- Swagbucks
3. Sell your used books/textbooks
This is something I used to always do, especially as a college student. If you have old or used books/textbooks that you no longer need, sell them! Also, you can go to thrift shops or even garage sales that sell books for a few bucks or even pennies and resell them for $5, $10, or more!
There are sites like BookScouter and Cash4Books that help you input a book’s ISBN number and will give you a price of how much the book is worth.
4. Offer your services/talents
There are sites like Fiverr and Upwork where you can offer your services or talents to people all around the world! I know that Fiverr will give you a flat rate of $5. People will contact you to do work that they don’t feel like doing or can’t do. This is good if you actually have a skillset that you’re able to help multiple people. If you’re good at logo design or creating websites, this is a perfect way to make some extra money.
5. Become a translator
If you’re bilingual and fluent in multiple languages, then there are many job opportunities for you. People all over the world are looking to have pictures, videos, audio, and pieces of writing to be translated. There are sites like Gengo specifically for translators, if not you can even use the sites I talked about above like Fiverr and Upwork!
6. Donate Blood Plasma
Not only can you make about $50 easily, but you’re also saving lives while doing it! They pay people for this because the plasma helps doctors and scientists make medicine. Check out a site like Biolife for more information.
7. Uber or Lyft
Not much for me to say here, I would hope everyone has at least heard of these!
8. Rent out your room or home!
Going out of town for a bit or have a spare room that you don’t even use? You can make money by renting it out whether if its for a day, week, or a month. That’s if you feel comfortable with letting strangers into your home. AirBnb.com is pretty popular that a lot of people use, I even use it sometimes. It’s cheaper than traditionally getting a hotel.
