Monetize a Blog
Starting a blog doesn’t take much effort. But monetizing it can be quite time-consuming and come with a bit of a learning curve. (I highly recommend checking out The Blog Method to build out a monetized blog as efficiently as possible.) However, speaking from experience, you can definitely make $100 a day (and MORE!) through your blog. A few ways to monetize a blog include affiliate marketing, ad placements, sponsored posts, and adding an online store to your blog.
Participate in Focus Groups
Seek out focus groups in your area that will pay you for your participation. Focus groups can pay anywhere from $50 to over $200 for a couple of hours (or less) of your time. I have participated in both in-person and online focus groups, and it was always a pretty painless process.
Send Friends Your Referral Link
This is kind of like affiliate marketing, but it’s even easier. Are you using an app like Acorns, Fetch Rewards, Rakuten, or any of the other apps that pay you to refer a friend? If so, help a pal out and simply send them your referral link so that they can enjoy the app as well. It’s a win-win for both parties.
Take Surveys
If you have some extra time on your hands while sitting at home, you may want to consider taking surveys to make a few extra dollars.
I will say though, taking surveys can be a very time-consuming process and isn’t one of my personal favorites. You could very well end up spending hours taking surveys only to receive just a couple of dollars. BUT, it can be a great addition to your other money-generating activities.
Popular paid survey sites include Survey Junkie, Inbox Dollars, and Swagbucks.
Become a Mystery Shopper
I know quite a few people personally who participate in mystery shopping opportunities to earn extra money throughout the week. I have signed up for mystery shopping platforms but have not yet taken advantage of any of the opportunities. But this is another option!
Deliver Food
You can sign up with companies such as UberEats and/or DoorDash to earn some extra money simply delivering meals throughout the day. If you’re in the right location, you can easily make $100 a day with just a couple hours of making deliveries.
Turn Your Car into a Moving Ad
Believe it or not, you can actually sell ad space directly on your car! You can work with companies like Carvertise or Market Your Car to turn your car into a moving billboard.

It doesn’t take a huge investment to learn how to become a proofreader. And you can actually earn a full-time income from the comfort of your home proofreading documents. I discuss this in more detail in this article about becoming a proofreader.

This is actually one of my fave ways to earn some extra money. Scanning receipts is so easy and many of us accumulate so many over time. Why not use those receipts to bring in a few extra dollars? I currently use Amazon rewards which I believe is invitation only but I also love Fetch Rewards and have gotten many of my family and friends to join as well.
Use Cashback Apps
I highly recommend checking out my Beginner’s Guide to Couponing to learn more about using cashback apps. But taking advantage of cashback opportunities is a great way to bring in extra money. I also recommend using cashback credit cards to earn extra money.

There are a variety of ways to earn money through your YouTube channel. If you are part of YouTube’s Partner Program, you can monetize your channel through ads.

Sell Your Photography
If you can take stunning professional photos worthy of being sold, you may want to consider selling stock images as a side hustle.

While babysitting is a relatively easy side hustle to get up and running, you will want to make sure you have the proper training and safety protocols in place before diving in.
Get Paid to Exercise
Yes, there are literally apps out there that will pay you to exercise. All you need to do is complete certain tasks then you can claim your reward. This is a great way to get in both physical and financial shape.

Little expenses like those stops at fast-food restaurants, subscription services you rarely use, etc. all add up over time.
