26. Buy and Sell WebsitesHave you ever seen those shows on TV of people who buy dilapidated houses, and then rehab them and sell them for enormous profits? You can also do that with websites and web domains through a site called Flippa.com. It’s a virtual marketplace for websites and web domains. It’s something akin to picking stocks. You want to buy undervalued domains, and sell them later on at a higher price. For example, you can pick a domain that is out of favor, but could be related to some future event. So if you decide that the stock market is likely to crash in the future, you can buy a domain that includes the words stock market crash during a rising market, and then sell it in a falling market. You can also buy struggling websites and work to improve their appearance, revenue stream, and value. Once you do, you can sell the sites for more money than you paid for them. It’s kind of like doing property rehabs, but without getting your hands dirty. 27. Become an Online TranslatorWe’ve been hearing a lot about globalization in the past few decades, and that’s meant that more people who speak different languages are interacting on a day-to-day basis. That has created a major need for people to work as translators. If you are bilingual, this could be a real opportunity for you to make money online. Proz.com 3 is a site where you can get paid to translate all kinds of documents, including files and even conversations. The site provides you with an opportunity to list your services as a translator. They offer opportunities in Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese and other languages, and specialize in legal, medical, technical and other fields. If you are bilingual, and feel that you can translate any of these documents, this can be an opportunity for you to make money online and at home in your spare time. Side Jobs You Can Do Partially OnlineWhile some jobs can be completed entirely online, others do require you to leave your home from time to time. Here are some of the best online money-making opportunities that may require you to leave home for certain components of the work. 28. Retail ArbitrageHave you ever watched Pawn Stars or Storage Wars on TV? That’s the general idea behind this money making venture. It’s one of the oldest and most proven ways to make money – buy low, sell high. The buy low part comes from searching garage sales, estate sales, and even thrift stores to find items that are in good condition (“gently used”) but selling well below what they would if they were brand-new. In this way, you might be able to acquire an item for $5, and later sell it for $50. You can sell the items on eBay and Craigslist 5. eBay is the better platform to sell small, high-priced, and unusual items. Craigslist is better for larger and more practical items. A good book on how to make it work is Garage Sale Millionaire 1 by Aaron LePedis. The book will tell you everything that you need to know, from buying (including determining values) to marketing and selling. 29. Become a TutorThis works with just about any subject that you are strong in – math, science, foreign language, and even test preparation. By tutoring online, you will have control over your time as well as the amount of work that you take on. You can always offer your services directly by marketing to schools in your area or even placing ads in neighborhood newsletters and on bulletin boards. But you can also use online platforms that are dedicated to matching tutors with students. Two sites worth checking out for this purpose are Chegg Tutors and Tutor.com. You can use either to enable you to tutor online and from home. 30. Take Photos and Sell Them OnlineSome people have a talent for taking pictures. If that describes you, you might be able to make money online from what has been a hobby up to this point. Websites like iStock and Shutterstock will allow you to post your photos on their sites. Since they are common photo sources, you’ll get people looking for very specific types of photos. If they download one of yours, you can earn anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars per downloaded photo. If you can create an online portfolio of several hundred photos that people are interested in downloading, you may have created one of the very best passive income sources. Take a look at the types of photos that you see appearing across the Internet, and tailor your work to meet that need. 31. Drive for Uber or LyftDriving for Uber and Lyft technically isn’t an online activity. However, the source of the business is online, or more specifically, through your smartphone. Customers sign up for a ride on their own smartphones, and you are alerted if you are in the area. Since payment is made online, you do not have to concern yourself with collecting from the customer, the way you would if you were driving a traditional taxicab. This opportunity works better in large metropolitan areas, where people are both more likely to not own cars, but more likely to attend major events, like sporting events and concerts. Airport connections are also a very important source of business. The downside is that you have to use your own vehicle, but this can be either a very generous part-time venture, or even full-time. It all depends upon how much activity there is in your area, and how much time and effort you are willing to put in. 32. Become a Pet Sitter or Dog WalkerPet sitting has become one of the more common ways that people are making extra money. Fortunately, you can use an online resource like Care.com to find paid opportunities. Care.com hooks up service providers with customers for all types of care-related situations. This includes childcare and elder care as well as pet care. It can be an excellent source when it comes to finding ongoing business, particularly if you are new to the business. One factor that you must be aware of though is that Care.com is a peer-to-peer arrangement. That means that you will be in direct competition with other pet sitters in your area. You must price your services competitively in order to get business. Once you begin to develop a list of regular clients, you will be in a better position to raise your rates. This will be particularly true as you get referrals from those customers. Also, check out Rover.com if you want to be a pet sitter. This website will connect you with pet owners in your area who need pet sitting, dog walking, and more. You can set your rates and pick your own working days and hours too, so this side job is very flexible. 33. Make Money with Amazon Mechanical TurkRemember earlier how I said that the new order of business is outsourcing? Well, that includes every task that you can think of. And that includes what have come to be known as “micro projects (or tasks)”. If you’re interested in getting involved in these, you can do so through Amazon Mechanical Turk . Amazon will have you work on micro-projects that require some sort of human interaction. Tasks can include translating a paragraph into English (or another language), rating the search results for certain keywords, or reworking an article. The tasks are simple, and you will be paid a small amount to complete each. But if you do enough tasks quickly, you can make a respectable amount of money. There’s certainly nothing glamorous about micro-projects, but check out the site, and find out if it is a good fit for you. It will enable you to earn at least a small amount of money online, at home, and in your spare time. 34. Buy Broken Items You Can Fix and SellWe already talked about buying used items at garage sales and other places, and selling them on sites like eBay and Craigslist. But you can do a variation of the strategy by buying used items and either repairing or restoring them and then selling them on Craigslist at a substantial markup. The advantage here is that items that are broken or deficient can often be had for next to nothing, or even completely free. If you have the skill, you may be able to restore them to a very usable condition with a few dollars and some elbow grease. Craigslist even has a free section, where you can get items that people are just looking to get rid of – not to make any money. Why would they do this? Because it might actually cost them money to have the item hauled away by the trash company. If you can find and restore items like furniture and appliances, you can make a substantial amount of money. You can acquire the items on Craigslist, or even at garage sales or estate sales, restore them, and then list them for sale on the site. You may also be able to market certain items on eBay, particularly if they are small or unusual but at a high price. 35. Buy and Sell Used BooksThis is another favorite way to make money online! Everybody has used books somewhere in their home, and a website like BookScouter can help you turn some of them into cash. BookScouter is actually a book buyer aggregator site. They work with dozens of companies that buy back books. You can enter the ISBN number on the site and it will connect you with the buyer that will pay the most for the book. You then send the book to the site in a prepaid envelope, and you will be paid within a few days. If you are good at finding valuable books in good condition, you may be able to turn this into a profitable side business. It’s another example of putting the buy low, sell high strategy to work for you. 36. Complete Tasks with GigWalkThis is another variation of micro-projects, except that it is oriented toward doing tasks on the go. Gigwalk enables you to sign up for the app and begin to receive job orders right away. Those orders come in on your iPhone, and you must be prepared to perform the task and to do it quickly and efficiently. As is typically the case with micro-projects, they are usually simple tasks that pay a few dollars each. The key is to complete as many tasks as possible, in the shortest amount of time. There are people who claim to be earning full-time equivalent salaries by fully committing to this venture. There are a variety of tasks that you may be asked to perform. This can include delivering documents, delivering food or restaurant meals, taking pictures of a building for a real estate developer, taking pictures of a menu in an upscale restaurant, or even delivering auto-parts. If you have a good working car (or even a good bicycle), time on your hands, and a lot of energy, this can be a real opportunity to make money online. 37. Complete Micro-Tasks On ZaarlyThis is similar in concept to micro-tasks, except that it is oriented toward specific services such as cleaning services, pest inspection, handyman services, house cleaning, lawn & garden services or any of the skilled trades. It might actually be more accurate to say that it is a platform where skilled service providers can offer their services to site visitors, similar to Angie’s List. Zaarly is currently available in just three cities – Charlotte, Dallas – Fort Worth, and Kansas City – but we should suspect that it will add more as time goes on. The tasks are actual customer jobs, and generally more substantial than micro-tasks. They may even hold the opportunity to develop ongoing customer relationships. 38. Get Paid to Be Politically ActiveNext Wave Advocacy is a platform that will pay you to get involved in specific political activities. You’ll perform these tasks from your home, and exactly what you will do will vary each day. They often expect you to commit to working a certain number of hours per week, which is generally part-time. They will pay you an hourly salary for that work, so it is really more of an at home job situation than it is in an entrepreneurial way to make money online. Still, if you want to get involved in political activity, and you have the time and motivation, this could be a way to monetize that passion. 39. Sell with Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA)We’re always being inundated with news about how online sales – and particularly Amazon sales – are eating up retail stores. Rather than getting rolled over by the trend, you can get on the bandwagon and let the trend help you make money online. You can do that through Fulfilled-by-Amazon (FBA). There are a large number of independent businesses and individuals who sell through Amazon. FBA enables you to set up an online business. In the process, Amazon will actually pack and ship the orders that come from your ads on the Amazon website. The process looks something like this: Send your products to Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Upload your listings to Seller Central. Let Amazon fulfill all or part of your inventory. Print PDF labels provided by Amazon or use FBA’s Label Service. Use Amazon’s discounted shipping or select your own carrier. Amazon stores your products Customer’s order your products Amazon fulfills orders placed directly on Amazon.com or fulfillment requests you submit for sales not on Amazon. Amazon picks and packs your products Amazon ships your products Think of it as creating your own online product business, but one with the power of Amazon behind you. How could you go wrong? Making Money By Selling or Renting Your StuffSome work at home jobs require you to rent out your personal items or sell them at a profit. Here are some of the best money-making opportunities in this niche. 40. Rent Out Your Unused Musical Instruments with FretishThere’s an excellent chance that you have one or several musical instruments sitting in storage that haven’t been used in years. Perhaps it’s a leftover from when you were in school, or even from your days playing in a band. Whatever the reason that you have it, it’s probably worth money if you can sell it. Brand-new instruments are ridiculously expensive, so people often look to buy used equipment instead, particularly if they are novices. You can make money online by selling your used instruments on a site called Fretish. Naturally, they’ll take a fee from the sales proceeds, but that will still enable you to make some money from an item that is just sitting around collecting dust. Also, if you know a good bit about musical instruments, and know-how and where to buy them on the cheap, you can use Fretish to sell them on an ongoing basis. That can turn into a nice side business, that eventually might grow into something more. 41. Make Money Renting Out Your CarNot everyone will be enthusiastic about this idea due to the fact that renting your car does come with certain risks like damage or loss of your vehicle. But if you don’t use your car a whole lot, and would like to use it to earn some extra income – without doing any extra work – web platforms are available to make this happen. Sites like HyreCar and Turo enable you to rent out your car hourly, daily, for a weekend, or even for a specific trip. Some advertise that you can make up to $10,000 per year renting out your car while you’re not using it. 42. Host Travelers In Your HomeThe peer-to-peer concept is coming to virtually every corner of human existence. That includes the hospitality industry. Through the AirBnB website, you can actually rent out your house for various lengths of time for a predetermined fee. This lets you earn extra income on your house while giving the visitor the benefit of having an entire house versus being crammed into a single hotel room. Exactly how much you can earn from this activity depends on a variety of factors. Obviously, the size and amenities of your home are important and larger homes will fetch higher fees. The location of your home is also critical.Locations close to a large city or major recreational venues are perhaps the best candidates. The practice isn’t for everybody, but as AirBnB has become common across the globe, there are safeguards in place. If you tend to be out of town a lot, this can be an excellent way to earn additional income. 43. Sell Your Old Cell Phones for CashMost cellphones need to be replaced every few years, but you can use this situation to earn some cash on the side. Gazelle is a web platform that will pay you for your old cell phone, typically in the form of cash or gift cards. You might be able to turn this into a small part-time business if you are able to obtain used phones on a fairly regular basis. But be advised that Gazelle only pays for late-model, higher-end smartphones. That means that there isn’t any money in selling old flip phones you can usually find for free. Sign up for Gazelle 44. Turn Your Car Into a Mobile BillboardLike online surveys, this is another opportunity that exists in the “gray zone” (a lot of companies in this space have come and gone). But the theory of it makes it interesting! Basically, you use your car as a moving billboard, displaying advertisements for the general public. And if you don’t mind driving a car that’s covered in ad space, may be able to make several hundred dollars per month through My Free Car. Do some deep research on the company, and if it seems to be on the up and up, give it a try. You’re going to be driving anyway, and you know that it always costs money to keep and drive a car. You may as well earn some money doing what you’re going to do anyway, and this is an opportunity to make that happen. According to the company website, you can get paid up to $400 per month. Miscellaneous Money-Making Opportunities You Can Do From HomeOther money-making opportunities don’t really fall into a specific category, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them to rack up cash when you need it. Here are some other alternative work from home gigs to consider. 45. Find Hidden RefundsWhile this is hardly the most generous way to make money online, it gets my vote as probably the most interesting. An app called Paribus enables you to get money back on online purchases. And it’s free to sign up! They scan your email archives for the receipt of any online purchases made. They have a list of several major retailers that they regularly work with (such as Amazon and Target), and they will issue you a refund anytime there is a price drop on the product or service that you purchased. That’s free money for the taking, so you might as well take advantage. Get Paribus 46. Get Paid to Get Fit with AchieveMintDoctors and health experts are always telling us we need to take better care of ourselves. Well, thanks to the internet, you may be able to earn some extra money for doing just that. A website called AchieveMint gives you points for engaging in healthy activities like exercise, tracking your eating habits, or even taking health related surveys. Points can be redeemed either for cash (10,000 points are worth $10) or for Amazon Gift Cards. The app actually connects with other health apps, like Fitbit and MyFitnessPal, to track your progress. Check out AchieveMint here 47. Get Paid to Lose WeightWhat could be a better payoff for losing weight than getting healthy? How about some extra cash for doing it? It sounds too good to be true, but that’s exactly what HealthyWage will do. You sign up with the site, set your goal weight, and the amount of time that you expect to achieve it. You then place a bet of between $20 and $500 per month that you will make it. The site advertises that you can win up to $10,000 for reaching your goal. They even have an on-site calculator that will calculate how much you can win based on the amount of weight you need to lose. Obviously, this will represent a one-time payout for your efforts. But you’ll lose weight along the way, and this website could even provide you with extra motivation to reach your goals. 48. Sign Up for RakutenIf you do a significant amount of your shopping online, Rakuten is a good way to earn some extra money from doing it. It doesn’t actually provide an additional income in the true sense, but it does provide you with rebates on your shopping that have the same net effect. The platform is free to use. When you make your purchases through the site, Rakuten splits its commission with you in the form of rebates. This is also a generally passive income source, and one that you can earn just from doing what you would be doing anyway – shopping! Earn $10 free when you sign up today and earn your first rebate. 49. Give InboxDollars a TryInboxDollars is another website that makes it easy to earn money when you shop online, but you can also earn rewards for completing simple tasks like watching television, taking surveys, and even playing games. At the moment, InboxDollars is even offering $5 just to sign up. While this platform won’t help you get rich, you can at least sign up to earn your free $5 and give it a try. Note that, in addition to money, InboxDollars might also pay you in Paypal cash or gift cards to retailers like Amazon.com. Click here to give InboxDollars a try. 50. The Bottom LineThese are some of the best ways to earn money from home, but don’t forget that you can try more than one. Since most of these opportunities require mostly time on your part, you don’t have anything to lose when it comes to experimenting with new gigs that could help you earn significant amounts of money over time. And heck, get one of these jobs up and running – earning even just a few dollars per month – and you’ll be on your way. From there, it’s just a matter of scaling your business or adding any other businesses to your income mix. If you keep plugging away and never give up, you’ll be an entrepreneur in no time!
