Can you believe that experts say that we are shown over 35,000 opportunities a day to make extra money? The need for this is very high because when you factor in things like increased costs and inflation, a carton of eggs being $6 makes it hard live from the salary of your job alone. Hard working people are always looking for ways to generate extra streams of income without having to get another job on a consistent basis. With apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, new opportunities are shown everyday. Pick the right one, and you can choose your own schedule and be profitable. Here are 9 ways to make money online, without getting a second job, even if you’re busy.
1. YouTube Videos
Starting a YouTube is my personal favorite traffic source at the moment of writing this blog post. It is one of the most rewarding ways to create passive income. This is not a hard journey. Generally, you figure out what you’re passionate about, whether it is gardening, pottery, financials, or tech, there is an audience for it and they want to hear what you have to say about it. Do this correctly and consistently, and then monetize your channel so that you can rake in the ad sense revenue, get paid sponsorships, and even generate huge profits with affiliate marketing. The key to creating a successful channel is consistency and making value-driven content that your viewers can relate to.
2. Surveys
Beginning this journey with online surveys is one of the simplest ways to make money online. Websites like Swagbucks, Survey Junkie, and Toluna have the ability to pay users, just for sharing their opinions! People pay a lot of money to know what you think, so these companies are willing to shuck out the cash. Even though this may not be a significant source of passive income, surveys can be a quick way to earn some extra cash in between your other duties in life life waiting for food to finish baking in the over, lunch breaks, commercial breaks, and even while you’re on the potty 🙂
3. Fiverr
Fiverr is how I started making my first REAL dollars online. This is a platform where you offer your skills and services for hire. This can be almost anything and you set your own price for it. The reason the site is called Fiverr, is because it used to be all things for $5.
Some of the skill for hire that do well, but not limited to, are graphic design, writing, voice-over work, and writing blog articles. Other weird one can be singing a happy birthday song in a Batman costume, holding a sign with a company’s logo, and so much more.
4. Writing
Freelancing can be simple, but making sure that you get paid, is another thing. Writing provides a lane make some quick cash, especially for beginners who are looking to get their foot in the door. Platforms like Upwork, MEdium, and even Fiverr, makes this a possible option. There are many other platforms created speficially for those who need content written for them, but you can explore that later. Those who can be content writers, copywriters, and bloggers are in high demand. Ebooks can also generate passive income over time.
5. TikTok Influencer
TikTok is the way of the future. This platform is probably one of the fastest ways to gain huge success fast, but it is done in a unique way by creating engaging short videos. The content that seem to be working well involve showcasing skills, sharing tips, and videos that are made to only entertain. As of this moment, growing an audience is not difficult. Once you do attract an audience, you can then work with other brands or promote affiliate marketing opportunities. Th
6. eBay
I haven’t done much selling on eBay, but I’ve done a ton of purchasing! I have a family member who would buy cases of goods from a warehouse, and then sell it, and make a fantastic return on investment. In order to make the big bucks quickly, you don’t have to do that. Look in your garage, look in your house, ask your friends and family if they have bunches of stuff that they don’t use and are willing to part ways with. You’d be amazed at how much others are willing to pay for these items. This is fast cash in your pockets.
7. Closer/Sales Specialist
Remote sales positions or becoming a closer is one of the most lucrative and best ways to make some quick cash on the side. Especially if you’re busy. There are a lot of companies that will hire freelance salespeople to convert leads into clients. This is generally paid by commissions. If you sell a service that is $5,000 and you get 25%, that’s an easy $1,250 in your pockets. Do this 4 times, on your spare time, and easily replace your full-time salary.
8. Consultant
One of my strongest abilities is being able to take my experiences and apply them to all parts of life. In being an consultant, people will pay the big bucks for your experience. We have an LLC as a business consultant. I’ve had the blessing to be an expert at running paid ads, building funnels, writing emails, etc. I can charge $100-$500 per hour for my knowledge and expertise if I can help someone get a desired result. This can be done in any field as long as you can generate good results.
9. Tutor
Offering a service is the best way to make quick money online. Tutoring is a great source for beginners. It’s something that people aoround the world will always need and you can do this as a beginner. Websites like Tutor.com, Chegg Tutors, and Wyzant connect you with students looking for help in subjects from math, science, and even learning another language. You can set your own hours for availability, making it ideal for busy people.
Final Thoughts
Each of these online money-making methods offers flexibility and potential for supplemental income. While some require upfront effort or investment, many can be started with little to no cost. The secret to seeing results is to figure out what works best for you and your schedule and your desired income goals. Start small, and with time and effort, you’ll see your efforts pay off.
