Top 10 ways to earn extra money (Part3)

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. Sports referee

If you browse your park district's job board, you'll most likely find a list of species that need a referee. Some common ones are basketball, football or volleyball. All you usually need is a pinstriped shirt and a whistle.

2. Recycle scrap

Scrap metal recycling can be a way to cash in on the metal you have in your home. Wet metal has some value. The list includes aluminum, silver, tin, copper, and steel, but it doesn't stop there.

3. Advertising on your car

You can also spend extra time advertising a product or service while driving. Carvertise is specifically for car-sharing drivers, while Sticker Ride is an option open to everyone. StickerRide will even reimburse you for gas, car wash, and parking costs.

4. Renting on Airbnb

You may have stayed at Airbnb, but have you ever thought about becoming an Airbnb host?

All it takes is an extra room in your home, which doesn't even have to be special.

Travel is a big part of people's lives, and if they're going to your city, Airbnb is the way to help them stay overnight. They offer a calculator to help you figure out how much you'll earn per night based on your zip code.

5. Sell old electronics

Electronics is something you should really pay attention to when looking at old things. Electronics go in and out of popularity, but even with new versions coming out, you can still make some quality income from selling certain electronics.

6. Invest

Feel free to multiply your money through investments. Have you heard of dividend investing?

Here you buy a part of the company and receive dividends from the profits of the company. Doesn't it look like it could actually pay off?

7. Rent out your car

If you have a car that you don't drive much, rent it from Turo. Turo is the largest car-sharing marketplace in the world and using the car-sharing platform earns drivers an average of $700 per month!

8. Rent baby equipment

Baby Quip actually allows parents to rent out their baby gear on the platform. If you're not using your crib, stroller, or car seat, earn extra money with Baby Quip.

9. Warehouse rental

You can also rent out unused storage space. Neighbor lets you specify a location in your basement, garage, bedroom, or even closet. Self-storage companies can get expensive, but Neighbor offers them a good alternative.

10. Donate Plasma

If there is a plasma center near you, donating plasma is another way to make money. It's a bit more extreme than some of the other ways to make extra money on this list, but I really tried it.
