Top 10 ways to earn extra money (Part1)

If you're looking to earn extra money through a side job, you're not alone. I've talked to hundreds of people who were interested in making extra money but didn't know where to start.

As many of you know, over the years I have really enjoyed doing side jobs and the benefits of diversifying your income.

Some of my part-time jobs were small or brought in a few hundred dollars, while others turned into successful business ventures.

No matter what type of side job you're looking for, I've put together this huge list of over 10 different ways to make extra money that actually work.

Online income ideas to earn extra money

1. Tutor

There is also a way to earn extra money by working as a tutor. Sites like VIPkid pay tutors between $14 and $22 an hour to teach English online.

2. Resume writer

Resumes are very important when looking for a job. Recruiters won't even consider you if your resume doesn't contain what they're looking for. Writing a resume is another way to earn income right from home.

3. Kennel or dog walker

Dog owners don't always have time to walk their dogs. They may even need someone to help look after their dog while they are out of town for a few days.

Rover is a site I have used in the past to find pet parents who need a nanny. If you are a pet lover and have a flexible schedule, you can start your own pet care business from home.

4. Product tester

There are companies that pay consumers to test their products. This is usually just a product trial and all you have to do is write down your thoughts or concerns about the product or service.

5. Driver

If you enjoy driving and want to make money from your time, companies like Lyft and Uber are some of the best options available.

They will just need to check on you, collect some paperwork and make sure your car is in working order before you can hit the road. The great thing about it is that these apps pay for holidays and you can drive whenever you want.

6. Get cashback for online purchases

Online shoppers can earn cash back for purchases on platforms like Rakuten. Just for signing up with them, they will give you a $10 welcome bonus.

7. Delivery of products

Not everyone likes to go to the store and buy groceries. In fact, people will pay you to shop and have groceries delivered right to your doorstep. Instacart and Shipt are just some of your options.

8. Farmer's Market Vendor

For a couple of years, I was a farmer's market vendor and I loved every minute! Farmers' markets are a great place to show off your craft or baking skills.

9. Mystery shopper

I made several thousand working as a mystery shopper. There are many companies that do not require any experience before you start working. "Mystery Shopper" and "The Stare " are some of my favorites.

10. Food delivery

Food delivery is another popular pastime activity. Many restaurants use this service for customers who cannot reach their physical location. Apps like DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats are great options to start with.
