101 Ways to Earn Extra Money Hustling

106 Comments

Today we will list 101 ways to earn extra money from side hustle. Go over them see which are the ones that best suited for you. Do some more research and further narrow down your choices, before selecting the one you’d go with.

Working for yourself may not be easy, people may also second guess you. Why do you need to have a second job? Are you still employed? Are you hungry for more money? You may be discouraged by your own circle of friends and family. But, do not let the naysayers damper your spirit.

101 Side hustle Ideas

Working in a second job is for your better future. You can retire early to enjoy all that life has to offer if you earn extra money with your side hustle.

In the era of recession and outsourcing, your job is no more secure. Some of you may have seen unemployment or salary cut. Your income is shrinking — but your bills aren’t. This side gigs can help you gain some padding to your diminishing income.

If you’re looking for making some quick cash or fast money we recommend you read our popular article How to Earn Fast Money Legally. But, if you are looking for a steady sustainable income on the side, this post is the best you can get, I guarantee you.

Regular money on the side from SwagBucks – SwagBucks is a reward website where you can earn money by answering the survey, playing games (yes literally), searching the internet, reading emails, etc. The very things that you’d do anyway. To top it up, when you join, you’ll get $5 bonus. It is like getting paid to do things you’d do anyway. Apply for an account here. Your Swagbucks points can be redeemed towards gift cards. Every month my wife brings home a nice gift for me just from the money she earns from Swagbucks.

I earn side income through this blog. The add blocks you see on this site earn me money, sometimes we promote products via an affiliate route when readers buy those products, we get a commission. My side income stands almost at par with my income from the main job (Software development Manager).

Only one caveat – do not ignore your family and near ones in your endeavor. If you have a steady 9 -5 you may need to limit the time for side hustle and spend time with your loved ones.

You can’t earn extra money without some upfront investment. Unless you open a blog and start blogging. You may need to get a personal loan to start your side income venture. If you want to be a baker, you need to buy equipment and gradually you need to set up your distribution network. 

The best way is to tap into your own fund. You may want to take out money from your lowest performing assets, like a CD or a savings bank balance to meet the initial capital need. The second option is to borrow from someone you know, like your family, relatives or friend.

The last and least option to arrange for cash is, taking a business or personal loan. Here’s a list of good places where you can get personal loans.

101 ways to earn extra money

  1. Blogging – You can earn money with your blog. Look no further than this blog. I have a day job, I blog for 2-3 hours a day and I earn $4,000 – $6,000 per month from this blog, which is ever increasing. Soon this blog will surpass my day job income. You can also earn regular money by blogging. You can create your blog in 20 Minutes for just $20. Generally, blog earning starts at month 6 to month 9, till then you’ll need a lot of patience.
  2. Cashback sites – One guaranteed way, probably you should start with this one. Even earning a mere $5 can bring enough enthusiasm to accomplish few more side hustles from the list. I started with Cashback website, when the first gift card we ordered with the points we earned, we were so thrilled. That was the beginning of earning-on-the-side for us. If you do online shopping, then do it via cashback sites. You will earn points for every purchase (on top of credit card reward). You can accumulate points and redeem for gift cards. Ibotta is another app that you can regularly use to earn back a portion of your shopping dollars.
  3. Surveys – Here are top 10 Survey sites. You can earn money by taking online Surveys. You need to register for sites that publish surveys. Sign up with Opinion Outpost and Swagbucks, both to maximize your return. You will be able to participate in online surveys regarding new products and services. Earn Cash and other rewards for your time. Here is a list of best survey sites.

This hustle may be sounding like an easy task but, in reality, they are tough jobs at times. Getting a start is very important, getting first few clients is probably the hardest part of it. Don’t get disheartened, it took me 6 months before I started earning money for this blog.

If you are a student and looking for a side gig to lessen your student loan burden, here’s our list of side jobs for college students.

You’ll be successful if you have ambition and are willing to put hard-work. A side hustle could be a great trial for anyone thinking of working for themselves someday.

  5. These are some good ideas, but some of the are very hard to make money off of that is worth the time and effort you put into it. Some of the best ones on here are babysitting (if you can stand kids, ad have enough energy, you can make a very good amount just doing it a few weekend nights out of the month), renting out extra space in your home (by either having a tenant live there, or even using extra garage or attic space for people to keep things in, you’d be making money by virtually doing nothing), and lending out freelance help (theres a site called Fiverr.com where you can advertise your skills, and people will hire you for ‘this and that’ type jobs that they need help with).

    • Very good suggestions Kelly. Just one point I’d rather go to freelancer.com than fiverr. Its amazing to think that there are so many different ways of earning money on the side.

    • yes i knows how hard it is to make money because I was a student myself and my family lived in Second Country. So I used to make content myself and earn that much money and now I have started Content writers business of from which any money can be earned.

  7. Awesome! I’ve got a an extra income post coming up, but it’s certainly not listing 101 ways:)

    The garage sale arbitrage one made me smile, as I recall hearing of people actually doing that some years ago.

    Reply

  8. Thanks for the post, which seems very appropriate. I think it is important that all those who have a job, Set aside a portion of our revenues in any profitable activity. I dedicate myself 20 years ago to financial investments and as I witness small monthly savings can become a major net worth. That requires two conditions: 1. – Be consistent in savings (must be periodic) 2. – Must be properly invested. – By this I mean to seek high returns and not settle for what they generate diversified Mutual Funds (3 -4% per year). We must seek higher returns. And that’s not so complicated.

  9. Wow 101 all in one post! I don’t like surveys, a lot of scams that don’t pay and have you signing up for endless offers.

    Reply

  10. Wow! Only 101? Couldn’t come up with 1001?

    Great list. I’ve never heard of the “rent your parking space” one. Probably wouldn’t make much money here in Texarkana, Texas. They might just park in the open spot next to mine….

  11. Good LORD this is an intense post! 101 ways! I’m going through the list right now to get ideas for things I haven’t tried yet. 🙂

  12. That’s quite the list you put together. I mostly do moving gigs off Craigslist and tons of surveys.

  15. @SB How are you making money off of your blog? Are you using adsense? What is the process of getting ads onto your site in order to make a profit?

  17. Good list, personally I do the snow plwoing in the winter. I have a plow on my truck and people and local businesses pay! I also garbage pick, fix up the stuff, and re-sell on CRaig’s list for a tidy profit. Great list! I see you got mystery shopping on there, my wife’s been thinking about doing that recently.

    Reply

    • Yes I just went to your side to read a few articles. So winter must be a busy season for you. I am no mechanic so, I did the eBay business by price arbitrage and made some profit. I used to buy from garage sales to sell on eBay. I soon realized to make some serious money I needed to devote full-time on it. Thanks for checking out on us.

  19. As a former owner of a construction business and a full time internet marketer today working from home, it does not have to be all that hard to start up a home business as long as you are consistent and willing to get things done.

    Reply

    • I agree. back in 2008 I started my small affiliate marketing business spending 1 to 2 hours a day each day I got of work. Long story short in 2012, yes 4 years, I was able to finally quit my regular job and in 2014 I was able to purchase my home. Side hustles are a great form to earn cash but like you say.. one’s gotta be consistent.

  25. I am new to blogging, and I enjoyed reading your blog so much! It helped me get inspired to be consistent with it and you mentioned quite a few GREAT tips that I am going to apply in my future blogs. I really appreciate this information! I am very impressed with the knowledge you are posting here. Thanks for sharing and let us know more about new releases. Thank you for taking the time to share this valuable research with everyone.

  30. Usually blogging and getting revenue from the ads is the quest and easiest way. However, I have been developing websites for several years now. I understand how hard it can be to set up a nice blog and drive traffic to it. On top of that, you need a proper sales funnel, or a good ad system to monetize it.

  33. Fantastic article. I think a good way to earn some money might be selling cosmetics to relatives and friends as cosmetic business representative. Do you agree?

    Reply

  34. so basically get a job, tree work, open a hotel are you serious? Half are scams the other half are regular jobs. Sure get a regular job or start a business but these are hardly extra money side hustles. Side hustles are things like be a pimp, sell drugs, maybe do some independent contracting but IT consultant is an actual job.

  35. Your article is very informative and coherent. I’m happy that I stumbled upon your page and hope to find more articles of such caliber on this site in the future.

  37. I earn money the old fashion way by staying at home and doing random surfing and it doesn’t hurt at all.I must say that when I first went to the Swagbucks website, I was a little confused and somewhat skeptical. It mentioned things like being a “premier rewards site” and a leading online search engine. But if they were a search engine, then how does one generate the rewards from? And why have I never heard of them? Well, it turns out that Swagbucks is indeed pretty legit.

    It’s amazingly simple. You just sign up and you can either go to their website each time you want to gain points for surfing the web, or you can just download the Swagbucks toolbar and do your searches from there.

    Then each time you do a search using the Swagbucks search engine, you gain Swag Bucks which are good towards a wide variety of prizes, including everything from GPS systems to memorabilia to gift cards to actual cash via PayPal.

    During the writing of this review, I installed the Swagbucks toolbar on my computer at home. At the completion of this review, I had already gained 410 Swag Bucks! Now, I’ve only got 40 to go before I can get a $5 Amazon gift card!

    Use this referal link to get a bonus of swagbucks for signing up!

  41. You could also make some extra money on the side buy selling any used cell phones you have on craigslist or ebay. Some people even look for good deals to buy phones and then resell them for more money.

  42. I’m going to become the best odd job, dog walking, data entry, landscaper anyone has ever seen. These are awesome suggestions, I’m already looking into renting my parking spot. An extra $40 bucks a month? I like it.

  48. Everybody wants to make money online, but very few people know where to start. For most people it comes down to having to learn advanced skills that they never have time to master, resulting in the feeling of helplessness about making money online.

    Luckily for me, I found an easy way around that about a year ago. Instead of trying to learn crazy web languages or graphic design, I started search for nontechnical ways to make money online. This led me to taking paid surveys online.

    One of the great things about the Internet is that it can connect people and companies almost instantly, and companies have found out about it. Companies have found that they can receive almost instant feedback about their products, services, or ad campaigns through the Internet. This is called market research, and before it used to take companies hundreds of thousands of dollars and many months to find average and sometimes outdated data.

    Now, companies have a direct and almost instant link to people that use their products, and will pay people to help them speed up their market research. When I found out about it, I was a little skeptical, but I decided to try my hand at it anyway.

    What I found was that I could make decent money just by filling out online surveys for an hour or so, everyday. It was surprisingly easy since I could do them while chatting on Facebook or after my kids went to bed, so I figured I would give it a month and see how much I could earn. At the end of the month, I was so excited when my first check came in the mail for $638.28!

    • As a commenter posted earlier- the problem is figuring out which of these survey companies are legit and which ones just make you jump through a bunch of hoops. So, Which company have you had luck with?

      Reply

      • I can’t recommend one as I didn’t test all and the one I tested had a low payout for hard work. In my preference submitting survey as side income will come at very bottom. The best way I’d recommend is the way I am following. Starting a website and then monetizing it.

  49. #23 really? I’m a bartender/server, not sure why this is such a bad thing. I’m damn good at my job, and make more than a lot of people I know. I wouldn’t exactly call it something to be ashamed of.

    Reply

    • I think you had the right to be offended. I know no job is a bad job. Bar tending certainly involves all the skill required for any job, like knowledge, hard work, communication, understanding customers needs. I did change #23 now. Thanks for your feedback.

      Reply

      • Thanks, I appreciate the changes you made to it. I honestly expected a snarky reply back, since that seems to be the norm these days, but this was quite refreshing. I quite enjoyed the rest of the list, I’ll be following for more from you.

  50. This is a rather exhaustive list. I can only imagine how challenging it was for you to brainstorm on what to put on this list but I must say, you did adequately well. I do virtual assistant jobs so I am familiar with several of the things on the list that one can do online but I think I would rather donate some of my body parts like blood whenever I’m able to than sell it, lol.

  51. These are great! Another one (besides Uber) is Lyft, and they are actually giving away crazy referral bonus’s if you use a referral code. For instance, in Chicago, if you give 30 rides in 30 days you get an extra $500 bonus. It’s easy money. Here’s the referral link: https://www.lyft.com/drivers/BES465370

  52. One site that people have success with making money from surveys is Opinion Outpost. The results vary from person to person but people do make money off completing surveys.

  60. Great list! I have another to add that’s almost as easy to do as going for a walk! I provide a daily litter cleanup service on foot using inexpensive hand tools outside retail, office and industrial properties for property management companies. I turned this side gig into a very lucrative full time business and am still “cleaning up” 35 years later!

  61. Some of these ideas require physical strength, which I do not have. For others, I would need to be a good salesman, which I am not. As for the remainder, I need time, a lot of time, of which I am quickly running out.

    If you can provide an idea or two for someone short on strength, confidence, and time, then that would be worth reading. As it is, your ideas will only work for people who are likely already achieving their dreams.

    I hate people who would help the poor, for they are a bunch of middle-class idiots who would never understand the pauper’s true plight, of which low and nonexistent incomes are just a symptom. Righteousness is the problem, not the solution.

    • You are so crisp and to the point, you also showed clarity of your mind. Strength and time can be measured but the ability to sell can’t be. Why don’t you start teaching. Look out for online classes that are accepting new teachers. Of course you’ll start with teaching one kid but eventually, in one hour, you can teach 20 kids. I know you can, by the sentences you put in here. All the best!

      • In my experience, clarity of mind is the kind of thing that makes H.P. Lovecraft characters go insane. Who is likely to want to learn what I have come to understand, let alone their children?

        Be thankful that you do not have access to all my thoughts, because if you correlate them together, well, you’ll probably end up a nervous wreck like Professor Angell and his nephew from “The Call of Cthulhu.”

        Ia! Shub-Niggurath!

        But, seriously, how and where do I start? How do I sell teaching sessions?

        • As I said, search for online tutorial sites for children. Browse to check if they are hiring teachers. Also, “Righteousness is the problem, not the solution.” is Plato/Socrates type statement. Ever thought of writing books? You start by free PDF copy distribution over Amazon. If downloads exceed a certain number publishing houses will take a note and knock your door bell.

  63. Bluehost isn’t the way to earn extra money! They are able just to spend your money for nothing. I would not use BH!!! And I DON’T recommend you

  65. It’s the perfect side income, and for some it’s a full time 6 figure income that
    dwarfs what they were doing with their previous day jobs.

    Best of all you choose how many hours you work, when you work, and
    where you work from.

  66. A pretty solid list – I’m not seeing investing or peer to peer lending here. Also, one thing a lot of people miss is collecting cans or bottles for the deposits. This works after large concerts when people leave their recycling around.

  67. All kinds of survey companies and market researchers are offering signup bonuses to recruit new panelists.

    Remember, your membership can be shared with a friend or family member too!

    By the way, a few minutes ago, I just checked my email and I got $390 worth of survey offers for the next week. That means I could earn $390 simply by taking those surveys on my computer.
