5. Become a Tutor
Have you ever considered online tutoring to make extra money at home? Well, if you haven’t, you most certainly should. You can make some serious coin by answering students’ questions, explaining your notes and uploading tutorials.
That’s right — by sharing your knowledge, you can be rewarded handsomely.
Try marketing your services on a site like Tutor.com, where instructors earn $9 to $13 per hour, plus $5.50 per hour just for being logged in waiting for students.
Or find online tutoring jobs through one of these popular platforms:
6. Spend $5 to Own a Piece of Amazon or Google
Take a look at the Forbes Richest People list, and you’ll notice almost all the billionaires have one thing in common: They own another company.
But if you work for a living and don’t happen to have millions of dollars lying around, that can sound totally out of reach.
That’s why a lot of people use the Acorns app. It lets you be a part of something that’s normally exclusive to the richest of the rich — buying pieces of other companies for as little as $5. And with the recent sell-off in stocks, you might be able to buy them for cheaper than earlier in the year.
That’s right — Acorns allows you to invest in a bundle of well-known companies, letting you own a little of each of them while spending as little as $5. The best part? When these companies profit and issue dividends, you can profit, too.
It takes two minutes to sign up, plus Acorns will give you a $20 sign-up bonus once you make your first investment.
7. Sell Online Courses
Got a set of skills or knowledge others would love to have? You could turn them into an online course and make money anytime someone signs up.
It doesn’t have to take a lot of time or resources, either. You could sell a pilot of the course or pre-sell spots before you even start producing content. That gives you some spare cash on hand to take the time you need to create the course.
The most successful course creators develop a loyal audience and make money selling courses directly. But you could also make good money selling your course through a marketplace with its own built-in audience, like Udemy and Skillshare.

8. Work From Someone Else’s Home
Working from home is wonderful, but sometimes it’s nice just to experience a new space — perhaps in a new town or a new country.
Consider house sitting. People will pay you big bucks to look after their house (and maybe a pet or two) while they’re away.
If you’re not sure where to find these types of gigs, there are tons of websites out there that’ll help, including House Sitters America and MindMyHouse.
9. Sell Your Old Electronics for Amazon Gift Cards
![stack of books with an e-reader on top](https://cdn.thepennyhoarder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/17091200/sell-books-online-1024x683.jpg)
Have old tech taking up valuable closet space? You could host a garage sale or sell them on eBay or Craigslist, but one of the easiest ways to get rid of them is through Amazon.
With Amazon Trade-In, you can trade in your used electronics, plus other items, in exchange for an Amazon gift card.
Just enter the item’s information on Amazon’s Trade-In page to see how much you could pocket. Shipping is free.
10. Turn Your Junk Mail Into Money
You know all those flyers and advertisements you get in the mail each day? The ones you never wanted but have no idea how to opt out of?
Well, you can turn them into extra income.
The Small Business Knowledge Center (SBKC) is a market research company that wants to get a peep into your mailbox. Join its consumer panel, and start shoveling that junk mail into a postage-paid envelope and, at the end of each week, send it over to the SBK Center.
No, you won’t be rolling in cash, but you can make an extra $20 every six to 10 weeks.

11. Sell Your Crafts, Vintage Finds and Even Project Supplies
If you’re creative, you can make some decent money selling your work through Etsy. Although there are some fees, including a 5% transaction charge, the marketplace connects you with more than 33 million buyers globally.
That’s a whole lot of potential customers.
Establish a strong brand and backstory. Connecting with customers makes them more likely to spend time on your shop.
Even if you aren’t creating masterpiece paintings or elegant jewelry or adorable baby clothes, you can still make money from home through the online platform. For example, one Penny Hoarder contributor, Janet Berry-Johnson, made about $200 per month selling needlecraft kits and patterns.
Maybe you’re more of a vintage type? Adventure through flea markets and even eBay to find vintage items you can fix up and resell through the platform.
12. Build a Business With a Blog
The startup costs for blogs are minimal: Just secure your domain name and hosting — only $2.64 per month from HostGator.
You’ll need to write some quality content to get into GoDaddy (or your blogging platform of choice) and start sharing it through your social media accounts. Once you feel comfortable, you can monetize your blog through Google AdSense and affiliate programs for some nice passive income from home.
Sound appealing? Follow our seven-step guide to starting a blog.
13. Make Your Own Schedule as a Data-Entry Clerk
Data entry isn’t the best-paying work-from-home job, but it is one you can do with few skills or previous experience — all you need is a solid internet connection and a computer, and you must be at least 18 years old.
Pay ranges on a per-hour or per-project basis. Typically, you can pick up jobs as frequently as you’d like through freelance broker sites like Upwork.
![A woman reads books as other books fly around her.](https://cdn.thepennyhoarder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/17104704/publish_books-1024x683.jpg)
14. Write & Sell an Ebook
If you’re a subject-matter expert or have an intriguing life experience, you could write a book. But there’s no need to send it off to all the major publishing houses in New York City.
You can self-publish ebooks through Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform. Writer Steve Gillman wrote a book in a week. Yup, ebooks don’t have to be hundreds of pages long. Gillman found many books as short as 6,000 words.
After publishing on Amazon, he started making $350 per month. The best part? He continued to make money, even months and years later.
15. Get Your True Crime Fix by Joining a Mock Jury
Jury duty isn’t always fun, but what if you could do it from the comfort of home? Becoming a mock juror can be an interesting way to make some extra money.
Here’s how it works: Attorneys present cases to virtual juries as a way to test it before trial — to find what’s working and what isn’t and craft the best arguments.
You can sign up as a mock juror through a site like eJury. When a new case is submitted, you’ll be notified. Jump in to review the case and answer questions. You can earn $5 to $10 per case, depending on its length.
16. Do Calligraphy as a Side Business
![An array of handwritten wedding invitations and decorative items.](https://cdn.thepennyhoarder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/12160002/DIYWEDDINGINVITATIONS0317_insert1.jpg)
Maybe you don’t want to be a content writer, but if you have excellent handwriting skills and a set of calligraphy tools, you can address envelopes. You could make $2 to $5 a pop just for being a talented calligraphy writer.
It doesn’t sound like a lot, but book a wedding with 100 guests, and you could rake in $200 to $500 for handwritten invites.
Launch your own website to sell your services, or offer calligraphy through Etsy. For example, Margo Dittmer gets creative with her calligraphy services and sells custom wedding certificates for $175 each on Etsy.
17. Make Money Doing Voice-Overs
Janna Polzin, a stay-at-home mom in Toronto, earns money by talking to herself. At home. In her closet.
After her son was born in 2013, the stage actress turned to the online acting community and kept hearing about one voice-acting platform again and again: Voices.com.
“I often walk away from my computer thinking, I can’t believe I just made money from that!” she says.
Voices.com is an international voice-over acting marketplace that helps vocal talent — both professional and amateur — find clients who need them.
18. Use Your Type-A Skills as a Virtual Assistant
If you have a knack for organization and communication, you just might make the perfect virtual assistant.
You don’t have to be the busy corporate assistant you see in old movies or on TV. You can work right from home.
Virtual assistants do things like:
- Scheduling appointments.
- Answering emails and phone calls.
- Updating websites.
- Internet research.
- Social media management.
- Booking travel.
To find open remote jobs as a virtual assistant, peruse some of these work-from-home job boards or check out Upwork.
19. Test Websites & Apps to Make the Internet Better
Basically, companies will pay regular folks like us to offer feedback on websites and apps. How’s the design? Can you find your way around? Have questions that aren’t answered?
You can make around $30 per hour through sites like UserTesting. The best part? You don’t need any user-testing experience — just a solid internet connection.
20. Start a Freelance Business and Set Your Own Hours
Have you considered freelancing? You can operate as a freelancer in just about any industry — as a freelance writer, designer, accountant, social media manager, website developer or more.
The great thing about freelancing as a business model is a low barrier to entry. You can get hired and get started on a gig without the same hassles you’d face looking for a full-time job — no resumes, no job interviews, no trying to impress some hiring manager.
Just share your portfolio or experience to let a potential client know what you can do, and you can start getting assignments right away.
If you’re just starting out, consider finding gigs through freelance platforms or freelancer networking Facebook groups. These will help you gain experience and connect with clients — without having to put a whole lot of work into marketing your services.
21. Earn $12/Hour Doing Random Google Searches
Search engines (think: Google, Yahoo and Bing) use complicated algorithms to determine the search engine results you see — and they don’t always get it right.
Although these algorithms are “smart,” they’re also prone to errors. Imagine searching for photos of hummingbirds — only for a photo of a seagull to pop up. Or maybe you’re looking for some news on immigration — only to find you’re reading a tabloid site.
That’s where humans can intervene as search engine evaluators. It’s your job to analyze search results and judge them based on quality, relevance and usefulness. And you can make money from home — around $12 an hour — for doing so.
We suggest you start by looking at Lionbridge job openings. The tech company is often hiring, so even if you don’t see any openings now, keep checking back to The Penny Hoarder’s work-from-home job portal.
![A man leaps from a ledge to take photos as hot air balloons surround him in a silhouette.](https://cdn.thepennyhoarder.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/17115052/sell_photos-final-1024x683.jpg)
22. Sell Your Photos (Even If You Took Them With Your Phone)
Fancy yourself a solid amateur photographer? Instead of posting all day, every day, to Instagram, why not turn your work into extra income?
Start with a stock photography marketplace like Foap.
Download the Foap app, then upload your photos — even if you took them with your phone. When your photo is purchased, you automatically profit. Because Foap does most of the legwork, you’ll split the profit 50-50.
Want to go even bigger? Upload high-quality images to Shutterstock, one of the more popular stock photography sites. Each time your photo (or video) is sold, you pocket up to 40% of the sale price (while retaining the copyright).
23. Work as a Transcriptionist and Earn up to $25/Hour
Are you a good listener — and a good typist? You can make $15 to $25 an hour as a transcriptionist.
You’ll need experience in the medical or legal fields to get transcription assignments in those areas, but plenty of researchers, reporters and Average Joes are willing to pay for someone to type up their recordings.
You are paid per audio hour, so this is a gig that’s perfect for people with great focus. If an hour-long recording takes you four hours to transcribe, you still only get paid for one hour. Listen closely!
24. Sell Someone Else’s Stuff
Selling Craigslist freebies is a great way to make a profit quickly, because you get the items for free. You could even have cash in hand today, without leaving home.
Go to the free section on Craigslist and look for things that are close to you and easy to sell immediately. They could be scraps from a job site or metal items you can sell, for example.
For a quick turnaround, avoid items like furniture or electronics. These can be good to sell, but they’ll take longer.
Cash in your treasures by reselling on Craigslist, including them in a rummage sale or selling to specialty buyers, like a pawn shop or a local business.
25. Rent out the Clothes That Make Your Friends Jealous
Are your friends always complimenting your great sense of style? Try making money off that killer taste!
You can rent out your clothing out through a site like Style Lend.
There are a ton of others on the market, but take sure to read the fine print on rental sites. Some don’t charge any fees to the buyers and sellers, but some charge a rental commission per order. You’ll need to price your clothes accordingly to account for any commission handed over to the company.
26. See if You Qualify for a Class-Action Settlement
If you use a product that’s involved in a class-action lawsuit, a little internet sleuthing could get you a cash payout.
The rules of each settlement are different, but in most cases you’ll have to provide proof of purchase or product use, like a serial number or a receipt. Once you fill out your claim form on the website, you may have to wait a few weeks or months before receiving your payment.
Check a resource like Top Class Actions frequently to see the latest lawsuits you might qualify to join.
27. Start a YouTube Channel
Turn your hobbies and other creative endeavors into cash by creating YouTube videos.
Monetizing a YouTube channel is a way for creators, entrepreneurs, freelancers and educators to build an audience and a brand, and create new income streams.
Once you build a loyal following — or at least create videos that get lots of views, like through search — you can monetize on YouTube in several ways, including:
- Ad revenue.
- Memberships.
- Sponsored videos.
- Selling merch.
- Funding from fans through platforms like Patreon.
28. Earn Money Taking Polls
What did you think of the new Spiderman movie? Is a hot dog a sandwich? Who’s your favorite Real Housewife?
The research company, MyPoints, has paid people over $236 million to answer poll questions like that over the past 23 years.
And they’re currently recruiting new panelists. You can do it right at home on your phone, and you’ll even earn a $5 bonus when you sign up and complete your first five polls.
Any extra money you can put toward your credit cards is good in our book — but in this editor’s opinion, no, a hot dog is not a sandwich.
29. Search Your Wallet and Cash in on Your Dollar Bills
- 7 repeating digits in a row on $1 Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. 09999999, 77777776)
- 7 of a kind on $1 Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. 00010000, 99999099)

- Double quads on $1 Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. 00009999)

30. Get Paid Up to $140/Month Just for Sharing Your Honest Opinion
It sounds strange, but brands want to hear your opinion. It helps them make business decisions, so they’re willing to pay you for it — up to $140 a month.
A free site called Branded Surveys will pay you up to $5 per survey for sharing your thoughts with their brand partners. Taking three quick surveys a day could earn up to $140 each month.
It takes just a minute to create a free account and start getting paid to speak your mind. Most surveys take five to 15 minutes, and you can check how long they’ll take ahead of time.
And you don’t need to build up tons of money to cash out, either — once you earn $5, you can cash out via PayPal, your bank account, a gift card or Amazon. You’ll get paid within 48 hours of your payout being processed, just for sharing your opinions.
They’ve already paid users more than $20 million since 2012, and the most active users can earn a few hundred dollars a month. Plus, they’ve got an “excellent” rating on Trustpilot.
It takes just a minute to set up your account and start getting paid to take surveys. Plus, right now, you’ll get a free 100-point welcome bonus just for becoming part of the community.
How to Choose a Way to Make Money From Home
What you choose depends on your goals, skills and interests. You might want something you can do quickly for a little extra money, or you might want a fuller gig with more earning potential. Here is a checklist of things to consider:
- Your Skills and Interests: Start by considering your unique skills, interests, and areas of expertise. Choose options that align with these, as you’re more likely to succeed and enjoy the work.
- Time Commitment and Flexibility: Evaluate how much time you can dedicate. If you have limited hours, look for flexible opportunities like completing online surveys or doing freelance work.

- Earning Potential: Research the earning potential of each option. Some might offer quick but smaller earnings, while others, like creating online courses, may require more effort but offer higher returns.
- Scalability and Growth: Consider whether the option has the potential for growth. Freelancing, for instance, can start small but grow into a full-fledged business.
- Market Demand: Look into the current demand for the service or product you’re considering. High demand areas can offer more opportunities and potentially higher earnings.

- Long-Term Viability: Consider if the method is a short-term solution or if it has the potential for long-term income. Blogging and YouTube channels, for example, can provide sustained earnings over time.
- Check Legitimacy: Always verify the legitimacy of the platform or method you choose. Avoid anything that asks for upfront fees without clear justification or has a history of poor reviews.
- Balance with Lifestyle: Choose options that fit well with your lifestyle and personal commitments. If you have caregiving responsibilities, options with flexible hours might be more suitable.
- Read Testimonials and Reviews: Look for testimonials or reviews from others who have tried the methods. This can provide real-world insights into what works and what doesn’t.
