1. Online and In-Person Research Studies
There are a couple online research companies I think everyone should sign up for.User Interviews is a great resource for connecting with remote consumer research studies. I made $40 in about 40 minutes — here’s my full User Interviews review.
Respondent is one of the best paying online survey companies I’ve found. Usually the surveys are one-on-one interviews either in-person or over the phone / video chat, and they pay an average of $140 an hour.
2. Online Surveys
No list of money-making ideas would be complete without including an old favorite: online surveys. Power users of these apps earn $30 a month or more.Here are some of Side Hustle Nation’s favorite options:Don’t expect to earn an amazing hourly rate with these options, but you can earn gift cards, cash, and other rewards by answering surveys, watching videos, playing games, and shopping online with several reputable apps and services.
Erase Everyday Expenses: $500+ Per Year
3. Save on Insurance
If it’s been more than 2 years since you last shopped for car insurance, you’re paying too much.Here’s the dirty secret of the car insurance industry: your cars are worth less every year due to depreciation, but you keep paying the same amount.Check out Insurify for a quick and painless quote process to find the best rates for car and home insurance. It’ll take just a few minutes (you can even do it on your phone) and users save an average of $489 per year! 
4. Re-think Your Cell Phone Service
I recently switched to Mint Mobile for my cell phone service. It runs on the T-Mobile network and costs just $15 a month (when you pre-pay)!I was able to keep my current phone and phone number. Making the switch from Verizon saved my wife and I over $800 a year.
5. Credit Card Sign-Up Bonuses
You’ve got to promise to use this strategy responsibly, but it’s made my wife and I thousands of dollars over the past few years.Related: Credit Card Rewards 101: How to Earn Free Cash and Travel by Spending Smarter
6. Negotiate Your Bills
Call up your TV, Internet, or mobile service provider and see if they have a better rate plan for you. I find doing this with Comcast every couple years nets quite a bit of cash back to our bottom line.If the prospect of negotiating is intimidating, services like Truebill will do it on your behalf for free. You only have to pay them a portion of your savings if they’re successful.
Sign Up for Free Rewards Apps: $200+ Per Year
Saving money is making money! And it’s actually even more effective since it goes straight to your bottom line — meaning you don’t have to pay taxes on it like you would with extra income.Here are some of my favorite quick n’ easy ways to save without drastically changing your lifestyle of spending habits.
7. Capital One Shopping (formerly Wikibuy)
The free Capital One Shopping browser extension is a must for online shoppers. It automatically scours thousands of shopping bargains, offers, and coupons from retailers while you’re shopping online. If there’s a better price out there, this free tool can help you find it.(Affiliate disclosure: Capital One compensates me when you sign up for Capital One Shopping using my link. Thanks!)
I’ve earned $6.01 in rewards in just a couple months, plus have saved over $100 more using their recommendations and offers.Once you add it, you’ll notice it working automatically whenever you’re shopping online.
8. Fetch Rewards
I like the Fetch Rewards app because it’s so easy. You earn extra cash back just by snapping a picture of your receipts.You can then redeem points for gift cards to retailers like Best Buy, Sephora, Staples, Gap, and more. (I’ve been cashing in for Amazon gift cards.)It’s also kind of a cool tool to track your spending across time and across different stores:
Install through our referral link and get 2000 free points ($2)!
9. Get Cash Back with Ibotta
The free ibotta app pays you cash for taking pictures of your receipts after you buy certain items from more than 80 chains, including Walmart, Safeway, Kroger, Publix, Costco, and Target.The rebates normally range from $0.25 to $5. The cash will hit your Ibotta account within 48 hours and you can pull it out with PayPal, Venmo, or exchange for gift cards.
On average, Ibotta Savers who use the app every month earn over $130 a year!Download now and get up to $20 in welcome bonuses.
10. Rakuten (formerly Ebates)
Rakuten is a long-running site that pays you cash back for doing your online shopping through their portal. A recent computer purchase from Dell netted me $160 cash back! (They were running a special offer.)They’ll even give you a free $10 bonus when you create your account!
11. Dosh
A friend turned me onto Dosh, and I’m pretty excited about this one. It gives you cash back (generally 7-10%) for dining out at local restaurants, and up to hundreds of dollars cash back on hotels.It’s definitely worth checking out at least to see if some of your favorite local spots are included — and for sure before you book your next trip.Even out in the ‘burbs by me there are quite a few deals, and you can see I’m up $35 on the app already.
The cool thing about Dosh, especially for the local purchases, is the cash back credit happens automatically after you create an account and link your card. You don’t have to fumble around with the app or show a QR code to your waiter or anything like that.
Get Paid to Lose Weight: $500+
12. Make a “Healthy Wager” Diet Bet
Before you start your next diet, you might want to check out HealthyWage. This cool service that lets you put a friendly wager on your weight loss.If you meet your goal, you can cash in — to the tune of $500 or more! (Here’s our full HealthyWage review.)Click here to see how much your prize might be.
Get Paid to Play Games
13. Mobile Games that Pay
As someone who probably played more than his fair share of Windows Solitaire growing up, Solitaire Cube got my attention.
The well-rated game app for iOS and Android pits you against similarly-skilled players, where everyone receives the same virtual deck of cards, and the players who finish with the most points win. Of course, I recommend practicing for free first!Solitaire Cube is free to download and play, but “real prize” tournaments aren’t yet available in AZ, AR, CT, DE, IN, LA, ME, MT, SC, SD, and TN.The popular Blackout Bingo game app turns classic bingo from a game of luck into a game of “speed and skill.”
While the app has mostly positive reviews (players call it fun and addicting), others call their ads — which apparently claim you can win big money with little effort — misleading.Each game only takes about 2 minutes to play, and you can earn real-world rewards and cash prizes (except in AZ, AR, CT, DE, IN, LA, ME, MT, SC, SD, and TN).As with all gaming apps, my recommendation is to practice for free first. Then, never put more money at risk than you can afford to lose.
14. Drive for Uber or Lyft
You’ve probably heard of “driving for dollars” with services like Uber and Lyft, and it doesn’t get much simpler than this. One Lyft driver of mine on a recent trip put it this way: “When I want to make money, I turn on the app.”In fact, these so-called “gig economy” apps have helped create a multi-hundred billion dollar a year industry. Here are some options to get your piece of the pie.If you choose any of these driving-related side hustles, it might make sense to tack on an app like Hurdlr to automatically track your mileage, expenses, income streams, and tax deductions in real-time. On average, Hurdlr helps users find $5600 in deductions!
15. Dash for Dollars
Make up to $25 an hour as a food delivery driver for DoorDash. For more, here’s our full DoorDash review.
16. Deliver Groceries

Find Flexible Part-Time Work
19. Steady
Steady is a cool app and website that consolidates all sorts of “gig economy” opportunities. For example, you can find work from home gigs, flexible “anytime” options, and even regular full- and part-time jobs.
In browsing through the listings, I found the usual array of delivery and rideshare gigs, but was pleasantly surprised by some of the other offerings. There were a number of local opportunities I’d never heard of in brand ambassadorship, political advocacy, mystery shopping, transcription, and more.Steady acts as a portal to all these gigs and gives you a convenient central location to browse. After you create your account, you’ll be able to see everything available online and in your local area.

Start an Online Business
These aren’t great options if you need to make extra money quickly, but can build into a full-time income stream over time.
34. Blogging
Blogging is obviously a passion of mine, and can be a very effective way to reach a wide audience.My primary revenue stream is affiliate marketing, but website creators can make money in lots of different ways, including selling their own products and services, advertising, live events, end even donations.Click here to check out my free video course on how to start a blog.
35. Podcasting
It took a few years, but the once-a-week Side Hustle Show became a full-time income for me.Podcasting was a great medium for me, because an interview format allowed me to let other people share their stories and be the star of the show!
36. YouTube
Creating content on YouTube is a fast-track side hustle, especially compared with blogging. I believe it’s easier to “rank” videos for your target keywords, and once your channel reaches certain metrics, you can begin monetizing with ads.(You can also use YouTube in other creative ways, like to sell a digital product or service.)
The newsletter business model is one I’m particularly excited about right now. It’s low overhead, reasonably simple to manage, and can scale to a significant income stream.Read more: How to transport frozen food when movingFor example, the popular daily business newsletter Morning Brew sold for a reported $75 million!
38. Build a Local Community
Melissa Fassel-Dunn started her online business as a local Facebook group for her Boston suburb. It’s since turned into an “almost 6-figure” operation with a website, directory, and newsletter supported by local businesses.
39. Self-Publish on Amazon
Thanks to Amazon’s Kindle platform, you can publish your work and tap into a massive audience of buyers, especially if your book solves a problem in a unique way.Self-publishing is one of my favorite and longest-running side hustles. I remember my first royalty payment from Amazon of something like $42 and being thrilled, thinking “I did it! I’m a professional author!”Since then I’ve earned quite a bit more in author royalties — nothing lifestyle changing mind you, but a pretty awesome way to build both authority in your niche and earn passive income along the way.Related: Here’s Everything I Did To Launch a Bestselling Book (and How Much It’s Made So Far)Related: My Amazon author profile and book listings
Start a Local Service Business
40. Litter Pick-Up
Brian Winch started his parking lot clean-up business as a side hustle in 1981, and has since built it into a multi-six-figure business. He says you can still earn $30-50 an hour part-time targeting local property management companies.
41. House Cleaning
Chris Schwab grew his DC-area residential cleaning service to $60k a month in revenue — without him ever lifting mop.More and more homeowners are outsourcing this chore, and the industry remains highly fragmented, spelling opportunity for you to win clients.
42. Drone Pilot
Certified drone pilots can make money by registering at DroneBase to take on aerial photography and inspection jobs nearby.
43. Car Repair
Join YourMechanic and earn $40-60 an hour making “house calls” to fix cars and trucks. Enjoy flexible hours and “no politics or managers!”To take it to the next level, you might consider filming yourself (with permission) doing the repairs to create content for YouTube. Matt Bochnak did this while repairing motorcycles, and eventually turned his time-for-money side hustle into a far more passive income stream.
44. Yard Care
Both GreenPal and LawnGuru are building “the Uber for yardwork” and offer a cool new way for landscaping businesses to connect with customers. The average GreenPal vendor makes around $55 per hour mowing lawns on its system.
45. Pet Waste Removal
It’s not the most glamorous gig, but it can earn $50 an hour or more. In just a few months, Erica Krupin had landed 80 recurring weekly clients at around $15 apiece.
46. Pet Sitting
Rover.com is “Airbnb for dogs,” and I’ve heard from several dog sitting hosts earning thousands of dollars a year through this site. (Meowtel is leading platform for cat-sitting.)
47. Babysitting
One of my original income streams as a teenager, babysitting and child care is still a viable way to make extra money. Sites like topqa.info and Sittercity can help match you up with families.
48. Flyer Delivery
One listener approached a local business and offered to distribute flyers door-to-door.Then he realized it wouldn’t really be any more work to drop off 3 or 4 flyers at each house, effectively earning $75-100 an hour for taking a walk!
49. Pressure Washing
Pressure washers cost around $300, but you could clear more than that on a single busy spring weekend cleaning driveways, decks, and patios in your neighborhood. Here’s more on how to start a pressure washing business.
50. Personal Chef
The United States Professional Chef Association has put together this directory of personal chefs available for hire.
51. Photography Service
This is my wife’s side hustle of choice, which started as a hobby. She and her partner started out pricing low to build a portfolio, but now command around $4000 per wedding.
52. TaskRabbit
TaskRabbit is one of the largest sharing economy platforms, and you can create a profile specializing in everything from running local errands, assembling furniture, local admin temp help, and even virtual support jobs.Rates vary widely based on what service you’re providing, but I’ve seen tasks anywhere from $15 an hour all the way up to $100 an hour or more for specialized skills.
53. Handyperson for Hire
If you’re skilled in painting, plumbing, electrical work, or cleaning with a friendly service attitude, Handy could be an interesting side hustle. According to their website, their top professionals are taking home more than $1000 a week.
54. Inspections
Earn $18 to $200 to go look at stuff like eBay purchases, cars, rental properties, or even vacant lots with WeGoLook. Take pictures, verify information, and report back what you find.
55. Moving Service
If you have a truck or van — and a strong back — you can earn money with Dolly’s peer-to-peer moving platform. Help your neighbors pack and move across town. Similarly, GoShare will help you put your truck or cargo van to work and up to $61 an hour.
56. Tricky Deliveries
Bid on moving hard-to-ship items from Point A to Point B on CitizenShipper. Near me there was a motorcycle, a couple dogs, and a boat up for bid, with prices ranging from $500 to $1000 based on the distance.
57. Sell Your Skills on Thumbtack
Thumbtack is a unique marketplace for both virtual and in-person on-demand work. Buyers submit requests for what they need and if it seems like a fit for your skills, you pay a nominal fee to bid on the job. You’re free to set your own price and keep 100% of the proceeds.The Thumbtack marketplace is pretty extensive, with services including accounting, house painting, voice lessons, quilting, web design, and even legal work. The company paid out over a $1 billion to their pros last year.

Channel your athletic glory days and help young athletes level up their game. You can set your own rate and CoachUp private coaches report earning an average of $45 an hour.

One of my favorite Side Hustle Show episodes featured a guy who taught himself how to sharpen knives on YouTube, and turned it into a $250-500 a month side business.
Become an Online Tutor
Tutoring and test prep is more than a billion dollar a year industry. If you were a decent student or have some subject matter expertise, you can use these services to earn extra cash and help students at the same time.
61. Teach English
VIPKid is a unique platform to teach English online to students in China via teleconferencing sessions. According to their website, you can earn up to $22 an hour doing so.If you’re eligible to work in the US or Canada, the only prerequisites are a bachelor’s degree and a year of educational experience.(And the educational experience is pretty flexible: teaching, mentoring, coaching, and tutoring all count.)
Just remember to schedule your video interview immediately after completing your application. This is the single most important component of the application process. You will be asked to confirm a time for a live video interview with a VIPKID teaching team member. Live interviews must be scheduled and typically will happen within a couple days (sometimes up to a week) from the time a candidate applied.Note: Because of the time zones, teaching sessions are usually early in the morning Eastern time.
62. Tutor for Hire
Wyzant (pronounced “wise ant”) is a popular online and in-person tutoring platform helping students in a wide variety of subjects and grade levels.Tutors are free to set their own schedule and rates, and the rates actually seem pretty attractive.

63. Sell Lesson Plans
It’s not one-on-one tutoring, but Teachers Pay Teachers is a popular marketplace for lesson plans and other educational materials by educators for educators. One blogger I know began putting some of her content on this site and now earns $5000 a month part-time.
64. Create an Outschool Class
Outschool is a marketplace for online small group classes for kids. I sat down with Jade Weatherington, who reported earning over $10,000 a month from her virtual writing classes.
65. One-on-One Language Lessons
With Verbling, you can set your own hourly rate for online language lessons. Most tutors appear to be in the $10-25 an hour range, and Verbling says some are earning a full-time living on the platform.
Sell Physical Products
I call this the age-old “buy low, sell high” business model, and it still works today. In fact, with the distribution channels available to you today, you can reach more customers than ever.
66. Flea Market Flipping
My buddy Rob Stephenson is “the Flea Market Flipper” and makes a great living finding odd items to resell. He told me the story of finding a prosthetic leg for $40 and turning around and selling it on Ebay the next day for $1000.There are profitable deals everywhere!
Rob and his wife Melissa consistently earn thousands of dollars a month doing this part-time. They put together a free training on how you can get started and make your first sales as fast as 2 weeks.
67. Flipping Books
Use the free BookScouter app to find out what books are worth — either the ones you have lying around collecting dust or ones you come across at garage sales or library book stores.One Side Hustle Show guest reported earning up to $4000 a month flipping used books!
68. Thrifting for Profit
Apps like Poshmark can help you clear out your closet or make money from your latest thrift store finds.
69. Selling on Ebay
The pioneering auction site is still going strong and can be a good place to get your products in front of 180+ million potential buyers. Side Hustle Show guest Darrel Fitzpatrick told me how he sold $100,000 worth of stuff (mostly used electronics) on Ebay by buying locally and re-selling online.
70. Reselling on Amazon
Amazon FBA is “fulfillment by Amazon” and is Amazon’s unique way to crowdsourcing its inventory from individual sellers like you and me. Not only can you take advantage of Amazon’s world class logistics network, but you can also tap into their massive audience of buyers.Perhaps the easiest way to get started is sourcing profitable inventory locally and then selling it via Amazon. I sat down with a successful Amazon reseller to learn more about how it works.
71. Get Rid of Old Electronics
Decluttr is an interesting service that takes the pain out of listing individual items on Ebay. Instead you scan them into Decluttr, they give you a price, and you ship everything you have (books, DVDs, electronics) to them in one box — they’ll even cover shipping.You can definitely make more selling your stuff on your own, but the convenience factor is tough to beat.For old iPhones and Apple devices, Backflip may be worth a look as well. They claim to pay 50% more than competing services and even offer a 10% bonus when you register through our link above.
72. Wholesale
Wholesaling involves partnering with brands to improve or expand their Amazon strategy. You’ll strike deals to buy inventory at wholesale prices, and profit on the spread between that and your retail markup.A spin-off on this strategy involves creating bundles of complementary products.
73. Sell Private Label Products
Another popular Amazon FBA strategy is to see what’s already selling, and try to create a better version by contracting with a manufacturer. This usually costs at least several hundred dollars to start, but popular products can turn into cash cows.
74. Etsy
Etsy is the largest peer-to-peer marketplace for handcrafted items. You’ll find thoughtful pieces for your home, office, kids, closet, and more.My friend Kara turned her side hustle of selling wine-themed wedding decor into a full-time business.If you’ve got an artistic and crafty side, you can tap into Etsy’s wide audience of buyers. Plus, you can now use Etsy to sell digital products or drop ship physical print-on-demand items.
75. Drop Shipping
With drop shipping, you can sell physical products online without having to buy any inventory upfront. Instead, you work out deals with the manufacturers or distributors to ship the items directly to your customers on your behalf.On a popular episode of The Side Hustle Show, Rene Delgado broke down how he sold over $300k in his first year.
76. Sneaker Flipping
Side Hustle Nation reader JV Ortiz contributed this piece on how he earns $10k a month reselling popular limited edition Nike and Adidas shoes.
77. Storage Unit Auctions
The hype over Storage Wars has largely died down, which means profitable storage unit auctions may be easier to come by today. You have to bid based on what you can see from the outside, and hope to find some treasures to flip for a profit.
78. Refinishing Furniture
Flipping furniture is a popular side hustle for those with DIY skills and people who like to work with their hands. Solid wood dressers are the easiest pieces to start with, and if you’re going for the “rustic farmhouse” look, your painting doesn’t need to be perfect.Aim to buy used furniture for $50 or less, and resell it for $150-300 on Facebook Marketplace.
Invest in Real Estate
Investing is a way to get over and over again from work you do once. If you’re looking for ways to earn extra money, consider how the cash you already have is growing (or not) on its own.
79. Commercial Real Estate
Fundrise was my first foray into “alternative” real estate investments (and I since joined their affiliate program). They have several “eREITs” that own or hold investments in commercial properties all around the country, and have paid consistently quarterly dividends in the 6-10% yield range.
Plus, there’s just a $10 minimum to get started.
80. Apartment Buildings
DiversyFund is a newer “eREIT” that targets “value-add” apartment complexes. These are cash-flowing complexes in need of upgrades – but once the improvements are made, the value of the complex and rental incomes increase.
The strategy seems to be working. Diversyfund has seen 15%+ returns in its first couple years! It’s important to note that you should only invest money you don’t expect to need for a while; the company suggests a target 5-year holding period during normal market conditions.DiversyFund is open to non-accredited investors with a minimum investment of just $500.
81. Buy Part of a Farm
With AcreTrader, accredited investors can by partial ownership in vetted farm purchases. The company handles all the management and operation, and you earn cash flow plus appreciation on the property.
82. Short-Term Real Estate Loans
You can make short-term rehab loans with property as collateral on the fast-growing Groundfloor and PeerStreet platforms. Interest rates are typically 7-10%. Groundfloor has just $10 minimums and is open to non-accredited investors.
83. Rental Properties
Rental real estate is one of the oldest side hustles in the books, and is still viable today.If your local market is too expensive, take a look at Roofstock, a cool online marketplace built for out-of-state-investors. Many houses listed already have tenants and property management in place.My friend Dustin Heiner methodically built up his rental portfolio and was able to retire before 40 on the cash flow.
84. Raw Land Flipping
Mark “The Land Geek” Podolsky calls this “the best passive income model,” and broke down how it works on The Side Hustle Show. Later, I caught up with a student of his who was doing really well.Related: 79 Alternative Investment Platforms to Earn Stronger Returns, Build Cash Flow, and Diversify Your Portfolio
Put Your Cash to Work
85. Earn More Interest
Online savings accounts like CIT Bank generally pay a much higher interest rate than your regular old checking account.
86. Asset-Backed Bonds
I’ve been earning 5% interest on Worthy Bonds, which are fully liquid and support small businesses. These loans are backed by the businesses assets and are just $10 apiece.
87. Earn a Great Rate with BlockFi
I’ve been earning 8% interest with a BlockFi interest account. Your deposit is converted into “stablecoins” at a fixed rate of 1 to every dollar, and the loans BlockFi makes are backed by crypto collateral.
Become a Mystery Shopper
88. Become a Field Agent
Field Agent presents a list of tasks you can do based on your location. If you happen to be driving around somewhere and the store in the list is near, just accept the task and start earning money.Most of these gigs involve evaluating product displays or checking on inventory. They typically pay $3-10 apiece, depending on complexity and the time involved.
Major retailers like Costco and Walmart are listed for product surveys and audits. No purchases are necessary.Just load the Field Agent app on your phone and start earning quick cash while on the go.For more info, please see my full Field Agent review.
89. Shopkick
Shopkick is an interesting money-making app that allows you to earn rewards in multiple ways, including simply walking into a qualifying store.Other ways to earn points (called “kicks”) include shopping with a linked card, scanning barcodes on selected products, viewing online products, watching videos, and visiting online stores. These points can then be redeemed for gift cards at stores like Starbucks, Amazon, and Target.
My guess is if you find a mall or strip mall with multiple Shopkick retailers, you can earn a few dollars just by walking around.Download the app on iOS or Android to test it out for yourself.
90. Gigwalk
Gigwalk works on the same premise as Field Agent. The app pays you real money for completing gigs available near you.Gig Walkers can earn anywhere from $3-100 for certain tasks, though there wasn’t much selection near me when I checked.
Rent Out Your Home: $40-1000 Per Day
91. Rent Out Your Place
Airbnb is one of the most well-known sharing economy platforms and is disrupting the entire hotel industry.Your rates are going to be dictated by your local competition, which could be anywhere from $40 to $300 a night. And as one host pointed out on the podcast, if you have hotels in your city or town, you know there’s at least some demand.
92. Rent Out a Room
