<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nOne of the easiest ways to earn money is by signing up to participate in market research studies. You won\u2019t make much, a few dollars here and there, but you can create a free account and get started within minutes. <\/p>\n
You\u2019ll be paid in PayPal cash or gift cards for sharing your opinion and completing other tasks online. <\/p>\n
E-Poll Market Research<\/a> is one of the top companies to consider for this type of work. They make it easy to create an account and answer survey questions. <\/p>\nHowever, there are plenty of other options to consider, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Pinecone Research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Global Test Market<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- E-Poll Market Research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- American Consumer Opinion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Pro Opinion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Harris Poll Online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While market research gigs won\u2019t make you rich, it\u2019s something you can do during your spare time. <\/p>\n
2. Write an eBook<\/h2>\n
If you have a book idea, turning your story into an eBook can help you earn passive income<\/a> without a regular job. Kindle Direct Publishing<\/a> can even help you format your book for Kindle, at which point you can market and sell your book to millions of potential readers who shop on Amazon.com.<\/p>\nHow much can you earn writing eBooks? That depends on how many books you write, how much you sell them for, and how successful you are at marketing your book. Selling 20 books per month with a profit of $7 per book would net you $140 per month and $1,680 per year. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, selling 100 books per month at $7 per book would net you $700 per month and $8,400 per year. Need a little inspiration? Here\u2019s an article that shows you how to make your first $1,000 selling eBooks<\/a>. <\/p>\n3. Start a Blog and Monetize It<\/h2>\n
You can earn a lot of money by starting a blog<\/a> or niche website and monetizing it. I should know. I started Good Financial Cents more than a decade ago, and have earned millions of dollars through the monetization of this site since its earliest days.<\/p>\nHow do you make money blogging? Earning real income with a website isn\u2019t as easy as it looks, but there are plenty of monetization strategies you can try. <\/p>\n
Here are the most common ways blogs make money<\/a>: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Affiliate Sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Display Ads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Sponsorships<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Product Sales<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Sponsored Posts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- And More\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you\u2019re curious about what it takes to earn money blogging, consider signing up for my Make 1K Challenge<\/a>. It\u2019s free and can help you earn your first $1,000 online with some of the blog monetization strategies I\u2019ve already mentioned.<\/p>\n4. Start Freelancing<\/h2>\n
You could argue that freelance work is like a regular job, but working at home and on your terms is much different from traditional employment. The fact is, most freelancers are fully remote \u2013 they can work from anywhere in the world with a laptop and an internet connection. <\/p>\n
Plus, they can hire and fire clients based on their personal needs and preferences, and their income potential is unlimited. According to ZipRecruiter<\/a>, freelancers in the U.S. average $63.53 per hour.<\/p>\nOf course, you\u2019ll need a marketable skill to find paid work as a freelancer. This could be freelance writing<\/a>, design skills, marketing expertise, or something else.\u00a0<\/p>\nYou can use several websites to market your skills as a freelancer, including: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Fiverr<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Upwork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Freelancer.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- PeoplePerHour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- nDash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
5. Get Paid to Lose Weight<\/h2>\n
HealthyWage<\/a> makes it possible to earn money while you lose weight. You won\u2019t earn a ton of cash through the app, but you can earn a few dollars and use it to supplement other income you have.<\/p>\nThe more weight you lose, the more money you can make. For example, the HealthyWage website claims some of their clients who lost more than 100 pounds managed to earn anywhere from $1,400 to $3,000. <\/p>\n
However, the HW weight loss calculator shows potential earnings of $578 to $828 for people who only have 15 pounds to lose.<\/p>\n
6. Rent Out Your Car<\/h2>\n
If you have a car you rarely use and want to earn some side income, you can consider renting it out with Turo<\/a>, a ride-sharing platform that connects car owners with people who need a short-term rental. You can set your price, although you\u2019ll have more success if you price your car competitively.<\/p>\nNicer vehicles in high-demand areas can easily fetch rates that surpass $100 per day through this platform. Turo notes that in-demand cars rented out regularly can bring in anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000 per year in net profit.<\/p>\n
Plus, almost anyone can rent out their car provided it meets the guidelines of the Turo platform. Your car must be 12 years old or newer with less than 130,000 miles. It must be worth less than $200,000 (no Lambo\u2019s), and you must also meet Turo\u2019s auto insurance requirements.<\/p>\n
7. Rent Out a Room<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nDo you have a spare bedroom in your home that you never use? Maybe you have a basement or garage apartment you could fix up and begin renting for a profit?<\/p>\n
Either way, Airbnb lets you rent out rooms and other spaces in your home on any dates you prefer. You must let renters know they\u2019re renting a room in a home vs. an entire apartment or house and provide as much additional detail as possible.<\/p>\n
The amount you can earn will depend on where you live and the type of accommodation you can offer. However, expensive cities like Chicago, New York, and San Francisco have plenty of rooms for rent that go for well over $100 per night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
8. Rent Out Extra Space<\/h2>\n
You may not have an entire room you can rent, but even if you have some storage space, Neighbor.com<\/a> allows you to rent it out to others in need.\u00a0<\/p>\nCommon spaces rented through this platform include<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Garage Space\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Parking Spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Storage Space for a Boat or an RV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Empty Lots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Extra Attic Storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Neighbor.com platform makes it easy to advertise your unused space so that people nearby can inquire if they\u2019re interested. Also, note that the platform offers insurance that can protect you if some of your client\u2019s items are damaged or stolen while in your care.<\/p>\n
How much can you make renting out extra space? It depends on how much space you have to rent and where it\u2019s located. However, Neighbor.com shows a range of rental space options that cost anywhere from $20 to $100+ per month.<\/p>\n
9. Invest In Dividend Stocks<\/h2>\n
Investing in dividend stocks<\/a> is one of the best ways to earn money without a regular job. Many early retirees find a way to live and pay bills based solely on the dividends they receive from various stocks.<\/p>\nBut what exactly is a dividend stock? For the most part, they are regular stocks but with a track record of sharing their profits with investors through dividends. <\/p>\n
Dividends can also be earned in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds<\/a>, and they can be significant once you build up a large portfolio. <\/p>\nSince dividends are paid by profitable companies, they tend to be seen as less risky for investors. If you\u2019re curious about what it takes to get started with this strategy, this post explains how to invest in dividend stocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n10. Get Paid to House Sit<\/h2>\n
Housesitting is an option if you\u2019re somewhat mobile and can move from place to place. Generally, you can find house-sitting gigs through word of mouth, referrals, or online portals like Craigslist.org or Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n
That said, not all house-sitting gigs are paid. Some offer the potential for exotic travel instead and free lodging for a week to several months.<\/p>\n
Either way, a website called TrustedHousesitters<\/a> is the best place to find house-sitting gigs. Some jobs posted are for house-sitting only, while others require house sitters to provide basic care for pets or plants.<\/p>\nIf you have serious wanderlust and want to travel far and wide, this platform can help make it happen. Many gigs posted online are in countries like Australia, Ireland, France, and Switzerland.<\/p>\n
11. Take Care of Dogs and Cats<\/h2>\n
If you love animals and want to earn money taking care of them, several platforms can help turn your dream into a reality. <\/p>\n
For example, Rover.com lets you provide basic care for dogs or cats in your home, or you can pick up dog walking gigs. Another mobile app, called Wag!, lets you do more of the same.<\/p>\n
You can set your rates for all types of work through these platforms, and your availability. While earnings vary by location and job, most people watch dogs and cats for anywhere from $40 to $100 per night.<\/p>\n
12. Invest in Real Estate<\/h2>\n
Real estate investing may seem like a pipe dream if you hope to earn income without a job but hear me out. There are many ways to earn income through real estate without owning physical property or dealing with the hassles of being a landlord.<\/p>\n
You can invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs)<\/a> that let you build wealth over time. You can also use a platform called Fundrise to invest in real estate for as little as $10.<\/p>\nFundrise<\/a> lets you purchase eREITs, large investment funds that acquire, own, or operate multi-residential and commercial properties. The income you earn is entirely passive since the RIET company handles the work of finding income-producing properties and managing them.<\/p>\nWhile returns are never guaranteed, Fundrise investors have achieved very solid returns. Investors who use the platform earned an average return of 7.31% in 2020, followed by 22.99% in 2021, 1.50% in 2022 and -0.88% in 2023 (so far).<\/p>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n- * Invest in real estate with $10<\/li>\n
- * Open to all investors<\/li>\n
- * Online easy to use site and app<\/li>\n
- <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\nInvest now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
13. Invest Your Spare Change<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nYou can earn income on your spare change by investing it using Acorns<\/a>. The roundup savings app syncs to your debit or credit card rounds up every purchase you make to the nearest dollar, and invests the difference. Once it\u2019s set up, there\u2019s no work on your part. <\/p>\nMost of the money is invested in ETFs<\/a> and managed by the world\u2019s top investment firms like Vanguard and BlackRock. While this app makes it easy to invest small amounts of money<\/a>, it\u2019s not free to use. Personal plans start at $3 per month, while a family plan costs just $5.<\/p>\n\n\nGet Started with Acorns<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n14. Complete Basic Tasks On TaskRabbit<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re looking for some paid gigs that are relatively easy, consider setting up a profile on TaskRabbit<\/a>, an online platform that lets you get paid for completing various tasks, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Assembling Furniture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Hanging Pictures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Wrapping Gifts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Party Clean-Up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Running Errands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Projects typically pay between $30 and $100, although some pay significantly more than that. TaskRabbit also lets you pick and choose the jobs you want to take on based on your availability so that you can work entirely on your schedule.<\/p>\n
15. Sell Photography<\/h2>\n
If you love taking photographs and have a knack for getting professional-looking images, you can use your skills and expertise to sell photos online. <\/p>\n
Websites like Depositphotos<\/a> and iStockPhoto<\/a> pay photographers to supply them with stock photos they can sell to writers, publications, and various online platforms.<\/p>\nThe best part about this side hustle is that you can get started with the equipment you already have. While you can use a professional camera if you want to, many smartphones take professional-quality photos.<\/p>\n
16. Earn a Bank Bonus<\/h2>\n
Earning a bank bonus is another way to earn money without a regular job, but you\u2019ll need an upfront investment to get started. Most bonus offers require you to deposit a specific amount of money and keep it in your account for up to 12 months. <\/p>\n
You may also be required to set up direct deposit to earn a bank bonus, and other terms and conditions may apply. <\/p>\n
Where can you find the best bank bonuses<\/a>? While bonus offers constantly change, you can start by checking with banks<\/a> like Chase, HSBC, Radius Bank, and Wells Fargo.<\/p>\n17. Flip Furniture<\/h2>\n
Flipping furniture requires some upfront legwork and potentially even some artistic talent, but you can earn a solid income with this strategy if you know what you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n
Essentially, this side hustle requires you to shop at thrift stores, garage sales, and online platforms to find furniture that will ultimately sell for more than you paid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From there, you can sell the furniture as-is or clean it up and paint it with the goal of fetching an even higher price.<\/p>\n
18. Drive for Uber or Lyft<\/h2>\n
You can make money driving for Uber <\/a>or Lyft on your own time, picking and choosing the days and hours you want to work.<\/p>\nNot only is rideshare work one of the most flexible side hustles<\/a>, but you can earn $20 per hour and more with tips.<\/p>\n\nNOTE:<\/h4>\nYou do need to have a clear driving record, and your car must meet basic requirements for either platform.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n19. Sell Stuff You Own<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIf you are low on free time but still want to make money without a job, consider selling stuff you don\u2019t need. An array of online platforms makes it a breeze, although some platforms work better for selling. <\/p>\n
For example, you can use Poshmark<\/a> to earn money selling used clothing and accessories, while used electronics tend to sell best on platforms like eBay.com, Decluttr<\/a>, BuyBackWorld<\/a>, and Gazelle<\/a>.<\/p>\nIf you have home decor, furniture, or workout equipment to sell, you\u2019ll almost always do better unloading those items locally on Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n
20. Start a YouTube Channel<\/h2>\n
Starting a YouTube channel is another way to earn money without a job, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not work. The fact is, that creating quality videos and building an audience takes a lot of creativity and time. Plus, not everyone who tries to build a YouTube channel will succeed.<\/p>\n
That said, you can earn income without a regular job. I know because I have done it with my YouTube channel, Wealth Hacker<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nHow much you can earn on YouTube varies quite a bit, but it\u2019s possible to earn thousands of dollars per month. If you\u2019re curious about monetizing videos, my in-depth guide will show you how to make money on YouTube<\/a>. <\/p>\n21. Donate Plasma<\/h2>\n
Donating plasma is a unique way to earn money without a job, although it\u2019s not very glamorous. DonatingPlasma.org<\/a> makes it easy to find plasma donation centers in your area, and you can earn as much as $100 for your first donation.<\/p>\nThat said, subsequent plasma donations typically earn closer to $50. You\u2019ll also be limited by the number of times you can donate plasma within a month. However, it\u2019s possible to use this side gig to earn an extra $500 per month, which you can use to supplement your primary income.<\/p>\n
22. Become a Crowdworker<\/h2>\n
If you are willing to complete various tasks that help regular workers do their jobs, consider becoming a crowd worker. This gig will have you finishing up to-do lists of jobs that don\u2019t require specific technical skills. <\/p>\n
For example, you may get paid to proofread documents, label images, update a resume, complete a form, or complete a data entry assignment.<\/p>\n
Several platforms help you find crowd-working gigs, but the best ones include Microworkers<\/a> and Clickworker<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n23. Shop for Groceries<\/h2>\n
If you want to do something simple that will get you moving, consider delivering groceries using apps like Instacart or Shipt. You get paid hourly, plus tips and all you have to do is head to the store, purchase groceries according to a list, and deliver them to people in your neighborhood. <\/p>\n
The gig is extremely flexible, similar to driving for Uber or Lyft. <\/p>\n
24. Deliver Packages With Amazon Flex<\/h2>\n
Another non-job gig lets you get paid to deliver packages for Amazon.com. You can do this through a platform called Amazon Flex<\/a>, which promises its drivers anywhere from $18 to $25 per hour<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nUnlike a regular Amazon job, Flex lets you pick the day and the hours you want to work. To get started, you need to create a free account, get approved, and start reserving blocks of time you want to deliver packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
25. Sell Unwanted Gift Cards<\/h2>\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nFinally, you can earn money by selling unwanted or unused gift cards<\/a> in your possession. This hustle is made easy thanks to platforms like GiftDeals.com<\/a> and CardCash.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nYou won\u2019t get the total value of your gift cards, but you should get 90% or more of the gift card balance for each card you sell. While selling gift cards for less than their total value may not seem ideal, it\u2019s better than not using them and getting nothing in return.<\/p>\n
26. Take Online Surveys<\/h2>\n
Finally, you can earn small amounts of money by signing up with the best online survey sites<\/a>. Not only is this side hustle as easy as it gets, but you can participate and get paid during your spare time and even on your phone.<\/p>\n\nRECOMMENDED:<\/strong><\/h4>\nSurvey Junkie<\/a> is the best online survey site since you can redeem the points you earn for transfers to a PayPal account, a bank transfer, Amazon.com or Walmart purchases, iTunes purchases, and more. <\/div>\n<\/div>\nOther online survey sites to check out include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nDo you have a spare bedroom in your home that you never use? Maybe you have a basement or garage apartment you could fix up and begin renting for a profit?<\/p>\n
Either way, Airbnb lets you rent out rooms and other spaces in your home on any dates you prefer. You must let renters know they\u2019re renting a room in a home vs. an entire apartment or house and provide as much additional detail as possible.<\/p>\n
The amount you can earn will depend on where you live and the type of accommodation you can offer. However, expensive cities like Chicago, New York, and San Francisco have plenty of rooms for rent that go for well over $100 per night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
8. Rent Out Extra Space<\/h2>\n
You may not have an entire room you can rent, but even if you have some storage space, Neighbor.com<\/a> allows you to rent it out to others in need.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Common spaces rented through this platform include<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Garage Space\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Parking Spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Storage Space for a Boat or an RV<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Empty Lots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Extra Attic Storage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The Neighbor.com platform makes it easy to advertise your unused space so that people nearby can inquire if they\u2019re interested. Also, note that the platform offers insurance that can protect you if some of your client\u2019s items are damaged or stolen while in your care.<\/p>\n
How much can you make renting out extra space? It depends on how much space you have to rent and where it\u2019s located. However, Neighbor.com shows a range of rental space options that cost anywhere from $20 to $100+ per month.<\/p>\n
9. Invest In Dividend Stocks<\/h2>\n
Investing in dividend stocks<\/a> is one of the best ways to earn money without a regular job. Many early retirees find a way to live and pay bills based solely on the dividends they receive from various stocks.<\/p>\n
But what exactly is a dividend stock? For the most part, they are regular stocks but with a track record of sharing their profits with investors through dividends. <\/p>\n
Dividends can also be earned in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds<\/a>, and they can be significant once you build up a large portfolio. <\/p>\n
Since dividends are paid by profitable companies, they tend to be seen as less risky for investors. If you\u2019re curious about what it takes to get started with this strategy, this post explains how to invest in dividend stocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n
10. Get Paid to House Sit<\/h2>\n
Housesitting is an option if you\u2019re somewhat mobile and can move from place to place. Generally, you can find house-sitting gigs through word of mouth, referrals, or online portals like Craigslist.org or Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n
That said, not all house-sitting gigs are paid. Some offer the potential for exotic travel instead and free lodging for a week to several months.<\/p>\n
Either way, a website called TrustedHousesitters<\/a> is the best place to find house-sitting gigs. Some jobs posted are for house-sitting only, while others require house sitters to provide basic care for pets or plants.<\/p>\n
If you have serious wanderlust and want to travel far and wide, this platform can help make it happen. Many gigs posted online are in countries like Australia, Ireland, France, and Switzerland.<\/p>\n
11. Take Care of Dogs and Cats<\/h2>\n
If you love animals and want to earn money taking care of them, several platforms can help turn your dream into a reality. <\/p>\n
For example, Rover.com lets you provide basic care for dogs or cats in your home, or you can pick up dog walking gigs. Another mobile app, called Wag!, lets you do more of the same.<\/p>\n
You can set your rates for all types of work through these platforms, and your availability. While earnings vary by location and job, most people watch dogs and cats for anywhere from $40 to $100 per night.<\/p>\n
12. Invest in Real Estate<\/h2>\n
Real estate investing may seem like a pipe dream if you hope to earn income without a job but hear me out. There are many ways to earn income through real estate without owning physical property or dealing with the hassles of being a landlord.<\/p>\n
You can invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs)<\/a> that let you build wealth over time. You can also use a platform called Fundrise to invest in real estate for as little as $10.<\/p>\n
Fundrise<\/a> lets you purchase eREITs, large investment funds that acquire, own, or operate multi-residential and commercial properties. The income you earn is entirely passive since the RIET company handles the work of finding income-producing properties and managing them.<\/p>\n
While returns are never guaranteed, Fundrise investors have achieved very solid returns. Investors who use the platform earned an average return of 7.31% in 2020, followed by 22.99% in 2021, 1.50% in 2022 and -0.88% in 2023 (so far).<\/p>\n

13. Invest Your Spare Change<\/h2>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nYou can earn income on your spare change by investing it using Acorns<\/a>. The roundup savings app syncs to your debit or credit card rounds up every purchase you make to the nearest dollar, and invests the difference. Once it\u2019s set up, there\u2019s no work on your part. <\/p>\n
Most of the money is invested in ETFs<\/a> and managed by the world\u2019s top investment firms like Vanguard and BlackRock. While this app makes it easy to invest small amounts of money<\/a>, it\u2019s not free to use. Personal plans start at $3 per month, while a family plan costs just $5.<\/p>\n
\n\nGet Started with Acorns<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n14. Complete Basic Tasks On TaskRabbit<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019re looking for some paid gigs that are relatively easy, consider setting up a profile on TaskRabbit<\/a>, an online platform that lets you get paid for completing various tasks, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Assembling Furniture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Hanging Pictures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Wrapping Gifts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Party Clean-Up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Running Errands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Projects typically pay between $30 and $100, although some pay significantly more than that. TaskRabbit also lets you pick and choose the jobs you want to take on based on your availability so that you can work entirely on your schedule.<\/p>\n
15. Sell Photography<\/h2>\n
If you love taking photographs and have a knack for getting professional-looking images, you can use your skills and expertise to sell photos online. <\/p>\n
Websites like Depositphotos<\/a> and iStockPhoto<\/a> pay photographers to supply them with stock photos they can sell to writers, publications, and various online platforms.<\/p>\n
The best part about this side hustle is that you can get started with the equipment you already have. While you can use a professional camera if you want to, many smartphones take professional-quality photos.<\/p>\n
16. Earn a Bank Bonus<\/h2>\n
Earning a bank bonus is another way to earn money without a regular job, but you\u2019ll need an upfront investment to get started. Most bonus offers require you to deposit a specific amount of money and keep it in your account for up to 12 months. <\/p>\n
You may also be required to set up direct deposit to earn a bank bonus, and other terms and conditions may apply. <\/p>\n
Where can you find the best bank bonuses<\/a>? While bonus offers constantly change, you can start by checking with banks<\/a> like Chase, HSBC, Radius Bank, and Wells Fargo.<\/p>\n
17. Flip Furniture<\/h2>\n
Flipping furniture requires some upfront legwork and potentially even some artistic talent, but you can earn a solid income with this strategy if you know what you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n
Essentially, this side hustle requires you to shop at thrift stores, garage sales, and online platforms to find furniture that will ultimately sell for more than you paid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From there, you can sell the furniture as-is or clean it up and paint it with the goal of fetching an even higher price.<\/p>\n
18. Drive for Uber or Lyft<\/h2>\n
You can make money driving for Uber <\/a>or Lyft on your own time, picking and choosing the days and hours you want to work.<\/p>\n
Not only is rideshare work one of the most flexible side hustles<\/a>, but you can earn $20 per hour and more with tips.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE:<\/h4>\n
You do need to have a clear driving record, and your car must meet basic requirements for either platform.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n19. Sell Stuff You Own<\/h2>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nIf you are low on free time but still want to make money without a job, consider selling stuff you don\u2019t need. An array of online platforms makes it a breeze, although some platforms work better for selling. <\/p>\n
For example, you can use Poshmark<\/a> to earn money selling used clothing and accessories, while used electronics tend to sell best on platforms like eBay.com, Decluttr<\/a>, BuyBackWorld<\/a>, and Gazelle<\/a>.<\/p>\n
If you have home decor, furniture, or workout equipment to sell, you\u2019ll almost always do better unloading those items locally on Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n
20. Start a YouTube Channel<\/h2>\n
Starting a YouTube channel is another way to earn money without a job, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not work. The fact is, that creating quality videos and building an audience takes a lot of creativity and time. Plus, not everyone who tries to build a YouTube channel will succeed.<\/p>\n
That said, you can earn income without a regular job. I know because I have done it with my YouTube channel, Wealth Hacker<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How much you can earn on YouTube varies quite a bit, but it\u2019s possible to earn thousands of dollars per month. If you\u2019re curious about monetizing videos, my in-depth guide will show you how to make money on YouTube<\/a>. <\/p>\n
21. Donate Plasma<\/h2>\n
Donating plasma is a unique way to earn money without a job, although it\u2019s not very glamorous. DonatingPlasma.org<\/a> makes it easy to find plasma donation centers in your area, and you can earn as much as $100 for your first donation.<\/p>\n
That said, subsequent plasma donations typically earn closer to $50. You\u2019ll also be limited by the number of times you can donate plasma within a month. However, it\u2019s possible to use this side gig to earn an extra $500 per month, which you can use to supplement your primary income.<\/p>\n
22. Become a Crowdworker<\/h2>\n
If you are willing to complete various tasks that help regular workers do their jobs, consider becoming a crowd worker. This gig will have you finishing up to-do lists of jobs that don\u2019t require specific technical skills. <\/p>\n
For example, you may get paid to proofread documents, label images, update a resume, complete a form, or complete a data entry assignment.<\/p>\n
Several platforms help you find crowd-working gigs, but the best ones include Microworkers<\/a> and Clickworker<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
23. Shop for Groceries<\/h2>\n
If you want to do something simple that will get you moving, consider delivering groceries using apps like Instacart or Shipt. You get paid hourly, plus tips and all you have to do is head to the store, purchase groceries according to a list, and deliver them to people in your neighborhood. <\/p>\n
The gig is extremely flexible, similar to driving for Uber or Lyft. <\/p>\n
24. Deliver Packages With Amazon Flex<\/h2>\n
Another non-job gig lets you get paid to deliver packages for Amazon.com. You can do this through a platform called Amazon Flex<\/a>, which promises its drivers anywhere from $18 to $25 per hour<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unlike a regular Amazon job, Flex lets you pick the day and the hours you want to work. To get started, you need to create a free account, get approved, and start reserving blocks of time you want to deliver packages.\u00a0<\/p>\n
25. Sell Unwanted Gift Cards<\/h2>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nFinally, you can earn money by selling unwanted or unused gift cards<\/a> in your possession. This hustle is made easy thanks to platforms like GiftDeals.com<\/a> and CardCash.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You won\u2019t get the total value of your gift cards, but you should get 90% or more of the gift card balance for each card you sell. While selling gift cards for less than their total value may not seem ideal, it\u2019s better than not using them and getting nothing in return.<\/p>\n
26. Take Online Surveys<\/h2>\n
Finally, you can earn small amounts of money by signing up with the best online survey sites<\/a>. Not only is this side hustle as easy as it gets, but you can participate and get paid during your spare time and even on your phone.<\/p>\n
\nRECOMMENDED:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Survey Junkie<\/a> is the best online survey site since you can redeem the points you earn for transfers to a PayPal account, a bank transfer, Amazon.com or Walmart purchases, iTunes purchases, and more. <\/div>\n<\/div>\nOther online survey sites to check out include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n
