7 Easy Ways To Make Money Online

Need to make some extra cash? There are lots of ways to use the web to make some money on the side. Here are just seven of the simplest ways to make money online.

Sell your clutter

Many of us have unused possessions gathering dust in our home that other people would gladly pay for. This could include old clothes, inherited furniture, books, electronics and video games. Whilst you can take these items down to your local second hand shop and sell them to the owner, you can often make more money selling these items online. Amazon and Ebay are popular platforms for selling items second hand, although you will have to factor in the price of packaging and postage. Sites like Gumtree.com meanwhile can allow you to sell items to local buyers who can pick up the item from your home (this could save you the cost of delivery). When selling items online, always take photos and provide an honest description of the condition – if you rip off buyers by selling them items in poor condition, you could start getting some negative reviews on your seller profile, which will then affect your ability to sell using these sites in the future.

Answer surveys

Another simple way to make money is to answer paid online surveys. Many companies will pay online users to complete surveys as a form of market research. There are survey sites that compile all these surveys for you to pick and choose from. Generally, the longer and more niche the survey, the more well paid. Survey sites may only offer you the well-paid surveys once you’ve completed a few lower-paid surveys. It’s worth noting that not all sites pay in cash and some may prefer to pay in coupons some sites may even pay in other ways. 

Try online gambling

You can also make money through online gambling. By taking a strategic approach, you can maximise your chance of winning. For example, there are many free casino games and games that offer bonuses that you can find listed at sites like critiquesdecasino.com. You can also take a strategic approach to sports betting by taking advantage of free bets and trying matched betting. Make sure to double-check the small print when it comes to free betting, as some websites do charge you through your phone company. It’s interesting to check out which sites accept Payforit, as this might make you a little more confident with using your phone for payments.

Try peer to peer lending

Peer-to-peer lending is ideal if you’re looking for an easy investment opportunity – unlike other money-making methods on this list, you won’t make a profit straight away. Peer-to-peer lending sites allow you to loan money to other users. These users then pay you back the money in instalments along with interest, which allows you to then make a return. The more you lend, the more interest you’ll make. It’s best to always use credible peer-to-peer lending sites so that you know you’re going to get your money back.

Make money searching the web

Did you know that you can make money simply by using search engines like Google and Bing? Sites like Qmee.com allow you to do this – by signing up to their services and allowing ads to feature next to search listing, you’ll be rewarded with small payments. If you spend lots of time online, this could be a great to make an extra bit of money on the side.

Get paid to write reviews

You can also get paid to write reviews. There are many companies out there willing to pay people to review their product for cash. If you own a blog, you may be able to charge people for these reviews, using sites like Fiverr to find people willing to pay. Alternatively, you can find reviews sites where you can contribute paid guest posts. On top of product reviews, you can also make money reviewing books, albums, games, apps and all other kinds of mediums.

Get paid royalties from photos

If photography is a keen hobby of yours, consider making money from some of your photos by sharing them on sites like ShutterStock.com. Such sites allow people to use your photos, but only by paying a royalty fee. There’s no guarantee that people will find your photo, but given that uploading a photo to these sites is easy, you may as well as try it and see what happens.

Richie

My name is Richie and I am a 40 year old father of two, a daughter and son. I am married to a beautiful woman named Destiny. She is the foundation of our family, and without her, none of this would be possible. During the day I work as a network security administrator for a local school district. At night I can be found illustrating books, working on websites, or creating music, but more than likely though I am spending time with my kids.
