22 Ways To Make Money From Home

Coronavirus has altered legitimately everything, including the way we think and the way we live.
Therefore, I can merely assume people would want to stay home and maybe work. Well, who does not
like earning quick money?

Many websites typically consist of so much rubbish. I recently know of a friend who got a computer virus
by clicking a link from a certain website. Yikes! Yes, some websites are legitimate on the plus side, so I
decided to compile all of them into one separate article.

Each day of technological advancements makes it even more difficult for people to acquire jobs, and if
they do, they do not receive a certain paycheck. I sincerely hope this blog helps you generate extra
income through a second job or a small business.

Note: - Always beware of money frauds whatsoever, although the companies or websites mentioned in
this article are authentic.

1. Online Surveys 

Being a college student, money is essential, and sometimes it is hard to find work or earn quick bucks.
Nevertheless, speaking from experience, surveys remain the most straightforward way of gaining some
money super-fast.

Companies value opinions and will repay ample money to understand or learn about their targeted
audience's preferences. Although there are many places to do paid surveys, these are some that I
recommend.

1. Survey Junkie is the most popular survey website and includes an abundance of survey options.
Once you reach 1000 points, you can cash out your account with around $10.

2. Branded Surveys is another popular survey website that allows you to cash out via PayPal or
direct deposit.

3. Swagbucks offers multiple opportunities to earn money, including surveys, watching videos, and
using its search engine.

4. Inbox Dollars offers multiple ways to earn money as well and typically offers a $5 signup bonus.

Learn more about surveys.

2. Blogging

Blogging is one of the most worthwhile endeavors, and it is something I thoroughly recommend from
experience. On the contrary, it is unstraightforward to either launch a blog or properly maintain it, but it
offers good lasting benefits. 

 You can literally blog about anything, but I would recommend blogging about something you are maybe
passionate about or talk about. Selecting a domain name is crucial, and so is the platform to choose to
launch the blog on. Pro Tip: Bluehost is one of the notable places to launch your blog, and I totally
recommend it. It costs under $3 per month, and you get a free domain for a year. You should check it
out!
 Blogs make money in various ways, including affiliate programs, sponsored content, or selling products,
which is why it is a moderately sensible long-term investment for willing people to put in the work.

3. Online Tutor 

Do you possess a qualification in a particular subject, or are you passionate about teaching? You can
start tutoring online from your own home. Online tutoring is a rewarding job where you can aid students
with their upcoming exams or get better at a particular subject.

 There are many online tutoring sites available from where you can earn money via teaching. However, if
you want success as an online tutor, try teaching the subjects you are good at and know well. Try
promoting yourselves, maybe in local schools, craigslist, and through social media.

 There are many platforms to kickstart your online tutor careers like Chegg, VIPkid, Tutor.com, Wyzant,
and YouTube videos. Most of these platforms pay set hourly according to the specific subject being
taught. Before signing up, make sure you have a compatible computer that satisfies the requirements of
the platforms. YouTube is also another way to teach properly. Although the potential benefits pour in
much later, it is a nice side business long term wise.

4. Sell Unwanted Stuff

Is there a jacket in your closet that you have always thought of wearing but never have? Maybe it is time
to sell it! This is one of the best ways to earn quick money. Don't we all have any stuff which we never
essentially use, so why not make more space in your room and earn some money on the side?

From vintage items to old clothes and electronics, almost anything can be sold on the internet.
However, from experience, whenever it is easy to do something, there is always a catch and, in this case,
scams. Some nice places to sell electronics online are Declutrr, Gazelle, SellCell, and Maxback. eBay is
another popular website where you can sell second-hand items. People head over to eBay to get rid of
items as it has an extensive reach. You can let people bid on your items and could maximize potential
profits for that matter of fact.

5. Publish E-Book

Self-publishing has become a popular endeavor recently, especially among recent authors due to
steeper competition. E-Books have instantly made it easier to read, buy, and sell books; in fact, more
than 50% of readers prefer reading online. The most common way to publish E-Books right now is
through Amazon with Kindle, where you can publish your book and earn 70% of the revenue.

6. YouTube Content

Every day you hear or read about a YouTuber who earns tons of money by making videos. The average
salary of a YouTuber with 1 million subscribers is around $57,200 per year. Some people vlog when you
are narrating fascinating stories or possible experiences you have or go through in your everyday life.
Others make DIY videos like how to clean a stain, make a budget, or sew a button. You can make around
$3 - $5 per 1,000 views, which is reasonable. You can start creating videos now, but you must meet
certain criteria for YouTube.
7. Proof Reader

With the world moving at supersonic speed, it is hard for some companies to proofread the millions of
articles before being published. This is a challenging job and, in some cases, requires a certificate to
prove your capabilities.

 You must have an eye for minor grammatical errors and great attention to detail when you are
proofreading. No mistake can or should go unnoticed. 

 Pro Tip: Fiverr is an impressive place to get started right away. It is a website you should check out, and
I would recommend you sign up!

8. Testing Websites

Whenever an individual or a company is launching a website, it most definitely goes through test runs to
see if it is user-friendly. It helps companies to figure out problems and fix them before it is launched to
the real world. Website testers can provide their opinion on the website on how to generate more
revenue.

 Sites like User Testing, Testing Time, Userlytics, Userfeel, Amazon Mechanical Turk, and Userbrain are
great places to find website testing jobs. You should check it out.

9. Freelancing Work

I have earned hundreds of pounds over the last few years from working as a freelance writer. I have
worked for most startup companies, and I did some volunteer work to build up my reputation. A
freelancer is self-employed and offers companies or clients services like writing, marketing, or graphic
designing. Freelancers usually use TaskRabbit, Mechanical Turk, or Upwork to get in touch with clients or
vice versa. Often writing is very monotonous, but the rewards are there as you forge your way up to the
top.

10. Consulting services

Although consulting seems like more of a skilled job, it is not. There are many ways you can offer
consulting to various startup firms by providing clients with your expertise in a particular subject. This
encourages the client to improve on that certain area. Per se, you are an expert at SEO (Search Engine
Optimization) you can consult or advise clients on generating strategies for SEO. Hence, their business is
by Google for that matter. You can consult your clients in various ways, some being an online course or
an E-book. Glassdoor estimates that virtual consultants average around $77,638 per year.
11. Sell Handmade Stuff

Making handmade crafts is often expensive, but it is a profitable business if sold correctly and properly.
Selling your crafts online is one of the best ways to sell; in fact, many successful crafters use more than
one site to reach more customers. Etsy is the most popular site for crafts and vintage stuff. The only
problem is you must pay certain transaction fees if your item sells. Shopify is another place to sell your
crafts. Although it charges a hefty fee per month, you should use the 14-day free trial to check it out.

12. Data Entry Specialist

Are you good with the keyboard? Cause that is almost all you need to secure a job for Data Entry. It is
unnecessary to possess a specialized degree, as all you do is input data for companies. The best thing
about this job is that it can be done from home at your convenience. Although you must have a high
school diploma to get a job. Flex Jobs, Micro workers, Amazon MTurk, and Fiverr are some great
platforms to sign up. You will be able to learn how to negotiate with companies. Instead of using a
freelancing platform, you can also work directly for notable companies like Amazon through
Ziprecruiter, Upwork, and Indeed.com.

13. Get Paid To Take Pictures

Do you enjoy taking pictures? If yes, then you are in luck because you can make money by selling photos
online. Some apps pay you for your selfies or stock photos, so there is no need to get rid of your
pictures. Taking photos is, as a matter of fact, fun and a profitable side hustle. Shutterstock and Adobe
Stock are some great places to sell photos to business owners. If you are unwilling to put in too much
time or effort, then EyeEm, Foap, Snapwire, miPic are some nice apps to use. The best thing about this
side hustle is you do not really require any necessary photography expertise, or do you need an
expensive camera.

14. Rent Out Your Empty Space

If you have excess space in your house, renting it out is one of the best ways to make money. If you live
near a local university, you might as well be in luck. You can provide all the facilities normally provided
to students at a lower price and because students are into saving more so spending you could earn quite
a bit. Websites like Neighbor.com and ShareMySpace are some of the best platforms to get started with
if you prefer renting out for a meeting, photoshoots, or parties.

15. Bookkeeping

You can work as a bookkeeper for local businesses. The two foundational tasks of a bookkeeper are data
entry and bank reconciliation. As a bookkeeper, you will be responsible for providing accurate up to date
information regarding a business's financial affairs. Although you do not exactly require a degree in
finance or accounting, you need to know the fundamental accounting principles. Many online websites
attend bookkeeping classes from where you can gain certificates to improve your image.
16. Call Center Agent

You can work for a call center with little to no experience as some companies, in fact, offer training.
Becoming a call center agent is one of the best ways to earn money from home. You oversee handling
outgoing and incoming calls. You might be working as a sales representative or at customer service. Your
job is to enhance the customer's experience or promote a product. Jobs are available both part-time and
full time, and depending on companies' timings are flexible.

17. Design And Sell A Course

If you have a certain amount of expertise in a specific subject, you could aid people by selling a course
online. I know of many people who have earned a considerable amount from selling their expertise
online. If you host a blog already, you could design a course on starting a blog or SEO related. If you
possess a certain amount of teaching expertise, you could create a course about something that
students find hard for a particular subject. You could design a course for a specific exam like the SAT or
GRE. One of the best places to upload a course is Udemy, which has quality control that your designed
course must pass. However, keep in mind that designing a course is not an easy task, so make sure to
take your time and understand the market. You might as well require a good quality camera to record
lectures.

18. Become A Journalist

Some might say you require an actual degree to achieve this, but that is inaccurate. You can design your
own website and start publishing stories, articles about interesting topics. The crucial thing about
journalism is how to grab the reader's interest and never let go. I have always thought of journalism to
be a meaningful career as it shapes stories and conversations and provides people with facts. You can
use publishing sites like Medium, where your published content gets paid. You can establish a career in
Journalism in the comfort of your own home.

19. Become An Influencer

Social Media is the best place to advertise; everyone is on it, and most celebrities utilize it to promote
products and are paid A LOT. Of course, you cannot turn into a celebrity in a matter of days; it takes
much time. To start with, you must choose a niche that you prefer to promote. It could be anything from
lifestyle to fitness to cooking. The purpose of an influencer is to share your knowledge and share tips,
maybe through videos. As soon as you start getting an enormous number of followers, you might be
reached out by sponsors or could reach out to them. This is the most practical way to earn money since
most of the world's population is on social media.
20. Sell On Craigslist

Craigslist is one of the best platforms to advertise or, for the matter of fact, sell things. It is
straightforward to set up a profile, and it has a vast reach. Craigslist is up there in the household names
of online selling sites. On the odd occasion, you do have to meet the buyer at a certain place physically.
Payment is usually made through cash or PayPal (very easy to set up).

21. Sell On Amazon

When I say Amazon honestly, I would naturally assume everyone knows about it unless they live under a
rock. Although there is a high monthly registration fee, it is still one of the best places to sell stuff.

Amazon is, in fact, an extraordinary place to sell as you do not necessarily have to have space to store
stock. So, in short, Amazon takes care of shipping, returns, and stock. So, most of your burden and
workload are lifted. Another great thing about Amazon is that it is used by an enormous population,
making the potential market astronomical. There is always some offers on Amazon, which reduced your
COP (cost of production). Hence, it is the best place to sell.

22. Cashback

Did you know there are cashback sites that help you get your money back from in-store purchases? This
is the easiest way to earn money without even realizing you have. Online sites like Rakuten are some
well-known cashback sites. Apps like Dosh and Drop are so simple to use as all you must do is link your
credit/debit card to the app. By the end of the month, most of you could as well save a couple of dollars.

This is your chance to live the dream life you have always imagined no time to wait anymore. Let me
know in the comments below about your success. I love a success story.
