1. method - 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.
2. method - 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.
3. method - 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.
4. method - 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.
5. method - 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.
6. method - 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.
7. method - 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.
8. method - 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.
9. method - 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.
10. method - 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).
