I don’t know anyone who would say making a little more money is a bad idea. In fact, most of us could probably use it to pay of debts, save more, or put toward retirement. And who wouldn’t love to use that extra money to have a little more fun? Here are 8 ways to make extra money that you might not have considered.
1. Proofreading
If you’re a grammar nazi or have a knack for spelling and all that fun stuff, you could make money proofreading for steady clients or college students (no, spell-check does NOT catch everything!). Here’s some info on how to begin.
2. Drop-Shipping
If you want to get started on eBay or Shopify, this is a simple way to go about it. Best of all, it’s not hard to learn drop-shipping.
3. Sell Clothes
We probably all have a bunch of clothes we could unload, but if you need extra money, donating them can be hard to justify. If you have good quality stuff, you can sell things on Poshmark.
4. Design Websites
No, you don’t need a degree to design websites. You just need to know how to design web elements like graphics or fonts, and you can sell those elements individually.
5. Become a Virtual Assistant
This is more of a job than an “on the side” gig, but there is pretty good money to be made for those interested in working from home.
6. Test Websites
Make $10+ for every website or app you test. It might actually be fun and interesting work.
7. Evaluate Search Engines
Interested in helping out at Google? You can make money by evaluating search results for quality and relevancy. You can make from $13-20 per hour. Check out Leapforce or Lionbridge.
8. Teach Stuff You Know
On Udemy, you can create courses on things you’re passionate about, then get paid when someone takes your class. This is a massive online marketplace for learning, so the potential is good.
