1.Test websites
Did you know you can get paid for clicking around on websites? The main job of a website tester is to ensure the site is easy for the visitor to navigate. All you need is high-speed Internet and a laptop.
Sites like UserTesting.com will pay you $10 per test, which usually take around 10-15 minutes. That works out to a possible $40 an hour. Not too shabby!
2. Make money fast by selling your stuff online
I’d bet my last dollar there are more than a handful of things just sitting around your house or apartment collecting dust. Remember that Annabelle-looking glass doll your great Aunt Rita so graciously bestowed upon you four Christmases ago? Why haven’t you gotten rid of it yet? Seriously, it’s creepy.
Flea markets, garage sales, and pawn shops are typically the best options for selling smaller items to make money fast. For larger or more expensive pieces like furniture and electronics, you can get the biggest bang for your buck by posting them on Craigslist or eBay.
3. Do small projects for others
There are a number of websites that pay you to complete small assignments for others. TaskRabbit and Gigwalk offer a variety of errand and chore-type projects like putting together furniture, picking up groceries, or cleaning. Amazon’s Mechanical Turk program also pays a few dollars per assignment for online tasks such as writing reviews or editing documents.
4. Create an online course
Chances are there are people in the world who are willing to pay for something you know how to do. So teach them!
It’s never been easier to create profitable online courses than it is today. Udemy provides a platform that makes creating and selling courses simpler than ever — no degree or specialization required.
5. Become an online tutor
Leverage the knowledge you already have by teaching it to others. You can tutor in everything from academics to business and get paired with students quickly online through Chegg and WyzAnt.
Chegg tutors start out at $20 per hour and get paid weekly to teach from anywhere. WyzAnt lets you set your own rates up to $50 per hour and allows you the option to teach online or in person — whichever works best for you.
