We all could do with
a few extra dollars in our pocket, but unless your boss is a fan of giving you
free money, you'll probably have to work for it. Thankfully, you can do a lot
of that work in your spare time. Here are some of the best ways to make some extra
money, ranging from the super-lazy to the intensely-engaged.
To be fair, the
amount of money you’ll make from a side gig depends on your skills and time
commitment. Maybe you’re just looking for some extra spending money, or maybe
you have a specific goal. Here are some options, sorted by how much effort you
want to put in.
Some of
the methods to EARN MONEY IN SPARE TIME as follows
1)
Sell
arts & crafts online
2) Entering
competitions.
3) Earn
money via “Cost Per Action”.
4) Get
paid to rate music.
5) Make
money as an online project manager.
6) Make
money recycling old mobile phones.
7) Sell
your old CD’s, games & movies.
8) Make
money drop shipping.

on a “proper” work from home job.

1)
Sell
arts & crafts online.
If you’re passionate
about arts & crafts then using sites like Etsy you can turn your
hobby into an income. Etsy is a huge online marketplace for handmade &
vintage things & it’s a fantastic & fun way to make money for anybody
into arts & crafts.. If you take a few minutes to browse through other
sellers profile’s & read their feedback count you can see just how much
money there is to be made with many sellers boasting over 500 sales.
2)
Entering competitions.
Whilst entering competitions is mainly down to luck & doesn’t
provide a guaranteed income you’d be quite surprised at just how many people
have given up their day jobs to take “comping” up as a full time occupation.
It’s said that there’s around 30,000 competitions running at any time in the UK
which means providing you enter enough of them then your chances of coming out
with a prize could be fairly high. With some prizes being worth over 50k it
only takes one big win to set yourself up for a full year.
3)
Earn money via “Cost Per
Action”.
There are websites out there such as CPAlead that will pay you each time you get somebody to
complete an action. As an example you can sign up to CPAlead & lock a link,
which means that when you share a link with somebody they’d have to complete a
quick offer before they were redirected to it, resulting in you getting paid.
There’s a whole load of different ways you can earn money via CPA for example
if you own a website you can use their widget to require people to complete a
quick offer before they can access it. Their payouts are pretty high and
there’s an awful lot of people using CPAlead making well over $100 a day.
4)
Get paid to rate music.
If you love your music then this one is definitely
for you. Slicethepie will pay you to literally listen to songs &
review them. They’ve paid out over $1.3 million to their reviewers & anybody
can sign up & get started straight away. If the money itself isn’t good
enough for you, you’ll be getting tomorrows big hits sent to your inbox every
day & could influence what gets played on the radio.
5)
Make money as an online project
manager.
This is a fantastic way to make a lot of money
online, yet it’s something just about anybody could do. Sites like Freelancer
& Elance provide places for employers to find freelancers and vice versa.
However, they also give you the opportunity to become a middle man and take a
commission off each project for yourself whilst not actually having to carry
out any of the work.On each project you
manage you can generally add at least $30-$60 for yourself and it’s possible to
manage 5 or more a day.
6)
Make money recycling old mobile
phones.
If you’ve got any old phones lying around the house that you think
nobody would buy then think again. Sites like Mazuma and Envirophone will give you an instant online valuation & if
your happy you can sell it to them for some quick cash. The few times I’ve used
them I’ve been pretty impressed at the prices they’ve offered me, they weren’t
actually much lower than 2nd hand market value.
7)
Sell your old CD’s, games &
movies.
You can get an instant price for your old CD’s,
DVD’s, games & electronics on sites like Music Magpie & they can pay the money directly into your
bank. It’s an easy way to declutter & make money both at the same time.
8) Make
money drop shipping.
If you haven’t heard of drop shipping then the
concept is fairly straight forward. Rather than buying a whole load of products
to sell & risking being stuck with some you simply partner with a drop
shipping supplier & list their products for sale instead. Then whenever somebody
orders a product you just let your supplier know & they’ll send them it –
all you need to pay is the cost of that product. It’s basically owning a shop
without the risk of being stuck with leftover inventory and it also allows you
to start a business with much lower capital required since you don’t need to
purchase any stock outright.
9)
Earn money doing research.
If you have an iPhone then you can download an app
called FieldAgentwhich pays you to carry out little research tasks for companies based on
your location. You simply browse the map, check what tasks are available in
your area & choose which ones you’d like to complete. Tasks might include
checking prices in a store, taking photos of something or writing a little
review. It generally pays around £4.50 per task but can pay out up to £10.
10) Take on
a “proper” work from home job.
Maybe you don’t fancy working for yourself and
would rather work for a company, but from your home. That’s possible thanks to Lionbridge, the
website that’s said to advertise around 150 “serious” work from home jobs at
any given time. The work required varies from job to job but usually you’ll
have the benefit of being able to pick & choose the hours you work.
Unfortunately though most jobs listed on the site do require a degree.
11) Get paid to scan shopping
receipts.
Surprisingly it’s true, by using apps like ReceiptHog (US) or Quidco (UK) you can actually earn rewards simply by
scanning your shopping receipts. There’s also another site called ShopandScan
but that ones invite only so if you apply you’ll have to wait to be selected.
It doesn’t get much easier than scanning a barcode, and you can expect to earn
around £10 per month.
12) Sell WordPress themes.
WordPress is one of the most popular blogging
platforms & themes for it are in high demand as people are willing to pay
top dollar to make their blog stand out from the crowd. A nice WordPress theme
can quite easily sell for over $50 and it’s said that there’s around 100,000
new WordPress websites launching every single day so there’s certainly some
money to be made.
13) Get paid to put adverts on your
car.
Using something called “vehicle wrapping” companies
can put adverts on your car and remove them without damaging the paintwork. If
you’re happy to drive around with a few ads on your car then you’ll be glad to
know companies like Money4Space & Comm-motion will pay you to do just that. You can earn over
£200 a month however the amount you earn will depend on how many ads your
willing to put on your car, the more you put on the more money you’ll earn.
They’ll generally be willing to put ads on cars of all shapes and sizes but
they’ll most likely require your vehicle to be fairly new and in good
condition.
14) Sell leads.
Lead generation is a big game & there’s a lot of
money to be made. Basically you’re finding people who might be interested in a
certain product or service, collecting their details & then selling them on
to companies that provide the product/service they’re interested in. It’s not
uncommon to see people making over $500-$1,000 a day in the lead generation
game & anybody can get started by signing up to sites like LeadPages. LeadPages allows you to quickly create fancy & powerful landing
pages to grab the visitors attention & drive them to inputting their
details, thus providing you with a lead.
15) Multi Level Marketing
Multi level marketing is a way to earn a serious
amount of money of cash online and it’s an opportunity thats open to pretty
much everybody regardless of online marketing experience. Websites like Empower Network have paid out millions in commissions and even have
their own millionaires club. It’s worth noting that these aren’t pyramid
schemes because those are of course illegal. In a pyramid scheme there is no
product, but with multi level marketing you basically sell products yet also
get a commission on anybody that you refer who also goes on to sell products
themselves.
16) Sell audio clips.
If you’re a musician or DJ don’t think you’re
limited to publishing your work on YouTube. You can put your clips in online
marketplaces likeAudioJungle & make money every time somebody downloads
them. Prices of audio clips start at $1 but many sell for around $18, plus when
you put your clip in the marketplace it gets featured on the homepage for a
little while bringing instant listeners and potential buyers to your tracks.
