    1. Glad to help! If you come across anymore that I’ve missed, feel free to send them my way! And best of luck as you keep hunting for ways to earn online and off.

  1. Thank you for all these great websites. We sold our company that I have been working at for 14 years and now I have to find a way to make some money. So hopefully with the websites you listed I hope to find some kind of part time work.

    1. I’m sure you will be able to Terry! From quick jobs for a couple of bucks, to full-time work, there’s a lot to choose from. And that’s what I love about the web! There’s always a way to earn a bit. Thanks for stopping by.

    1. My pleasure! I’m glad you appreciate the list. And good luck giving a few of these sites a shot.

  2. Your list seems to be very inclusive. I have registered for Mechanical Turk, but never got around to actually using it. I’ve also used Fiver, but as a buyer not as a seller. I would like to check out some of the sites listed for advertising my pet sitting and dog walking.

    1. It’s definitely a lot! Some of the sites (like Mturk) really don’t pay well. And Fiverr can pay well if you use it right, but it can also end up being a $3/hr site if you aren’t smart about what projects you offer. Thanks for stopping by and let me know when you have great experiences with the rest of these!

  3. This is a really helpful list; I lost my job last week so I’m looking to find ways to make some extra cash until I find another job. Thanks a lot for posting!

    1. Sorry to hear about losing your job! But certainly check out the item on this list. Hopefully you can find a few ways to support yourself while finding another job (or perhaps replace your income entirely!)

  4. Nice list Rob, I find fiverr to be a good resource for finding graphic designers and have always been a fan of linkedIn for building ones professional network. Although, it may not be directly building income, the indirect benefit of it lies in the building of potential opportunities for ones career and collaborations with great people and organizations.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Dr.J! And you’re absolutely right – I love Fiverr for both buying and selling (you just have to be smart about what you sell). And LinkedIn can provide tremendous amounts of value. Best of luck as you continue to grow your own personal wealth.

  5. Amazing list…I knew of some but most were new! I’m checking some out! Thank you for all your hard work in putting this list together!

  6. I would like to thank you for the tips and pointers on better spending habits and being more careful in the future.

    1. I’m glad you’re enjoying them! Managing finances is definitely a balance. However, if you’re smart and save now, you’ll have more freedom in the future. Thanks for stopping by.

  7. Fantastic list, Rob! Bookmarking this one. From the list, I’ve used craigslist, ebay and credit cards rewards most frequently, but will definitely check out some of the other options. Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

    1. Nice! Definitely check out a few of the other items on this list – as some of them can really help you make a fortune! And thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to seeing more of your great content as well.

  8. Hi Rob,

    I bookmarked this post so as to show them to friends and students who are unemployed. This is such a great list. It is amazing how many things you can do in your spare time to make money. Thank you!

    Zaria

    1. Great Zaria! That’s exactly the purpose of this article. There are so many people who need to make a few extra bucks on the side or cover their expenses while looking for another job. I wanted to create a list that could be shared with them to provide part time (or even full time) income when in a tight situation. And I appreciate you sharing.

  9. Great list. I’ve used SurveySpot and really like it. They don’t send any spam (or anything that looks like spam!) and are really straight foward. I will be trying out Pinecone Research and Swagbucks! Thanks!

    1. I’ll have to check out SurvetSpot – thanks for sharing! And yes these other two are great as well.

    1. Glad you enjoyed! And you’re right – I thought I would experiment and see what happens if I do a bit of Spanish here and there.

    1. Thanks for stopping by Steve – and I did! Thanks to sites like Upwork, I was able to transition into full-time freelancing. I also use the investment tools on this list to help keep my money growing. Good luck as you continue to grow your own blog following!

  10. This is a great resource for people who are looking to make extra money online! Online tutoring is an easy way to make money from home that helps people who really need it. Plus, it’s a great way to put your skills to use. Very nice compilation here! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Thanks for stopping by Morgan! And you’re right, tutoring can be a great way to make money and make a difference. If you have experience with that you’ll have to reach out and let me know how it works for you. I have a few friends who earn $10-20/hr for Skype English lessons.

    1. Glad you found the list helpful Keith! There are certainly a lot of opportunities — the key is just figuring out which ones work best for you.

  11. Hey Rob, back in 2008 when I was unemployed, I tried Mturk and found that I was averaging about a dollar an hour — not worth it even for the unemployed (I only type 50 WPM, but if someone types 80+ WPM transcription on Mturk may be worth it.)
    One category that may be worth including in your list is item resale. There are many sites like thredup.com and vinted.com that directly buy used clothing from people, usually with free shipping to their warehouse. The only drawback is that they are VERY picky, buying only nearly new clothes, and sometimes only higher end labels.
    There are sites that directly buy other used items as well. For instance sell2bbnovelties.com will buy a large variety of everyday items including: Beanie Babies, Barbies, Pokémon, Star Wars stuff, video game consoles & components, video game discs/CDs/DVDs (even without the packaging for very low prices), sports cards, Hot Wheels/Matchbox, and other products. Of course, you will not make the money as if you sold the stuff yourself, but it works much quicker.

    1. Great tip Rich! Thanks for sharing. And you’re right — some of these items won’t make you a fortune, but there are a few that can help you earn decent money pretty fast. I appreciate you sharing sell2bbnovelties — I’ll have to check that one out.

  12. nice points.
    recently i started to work online using sites like koocam, must say its not so easy at the start but i will definitely will apply some of those ideas.
    thank u. it was nice to read your article

  13. Rob great work mate and appreciated for this post. i know how much time took to create this post and glad you have mentioned the websites name also very helpful post your 100 ways can guide thousands of people.

  14. I’ve been exploring for a little bit for any high-quality articles or blogs in this kind of niche.
    Fortunately I ultimately came across this website. Reading this info, i
    am glad I discovered what I needed. Thanks for posting

  15. Great post! Really insightful. I have not monetized by blog in any way, I didn’t even know where to begin. but you’ve given some helpful tips

  16. Hi,
    I’ve been devouring page after page of the posts on this site. I am interested in the 90 course as well… not sure if that is a completed work, as it seemed like some of the links weren’t active. I have been pondering the ideas of becoming a digital nomad, a freelancer, and starting a blog. There are a couple of challenges I find with each. As for becoming a nomad, that is a future 5-10 yr goal, but I am currently looking for ways to increase my income and become more financially independent so that I can step away from the traditional 8-5 job. My challenge with a blog is choosing a “topic” because so many things interest me and I haven’t been able to streamline my passion and find true direction. Some sites suggested finding a “niche” and I was wondering about your thoughts on that…. And most of all, I would like any suggestions you might have to help me jumpstart a freelance career as a Bilingual Editor/ Translator/Interpreter. That is where my greatest skills lie, however as I’ve started to forage for information, many of the positions I have run across require a degree. I have more years of experience than a degree could offer me, and I need to find a way to get past the traditional academic requirements….From your replies, I can see that you really care about helping others and I look forward to any ideas you might have.

    1. Hi Katrina! I apologize for the incredibly late reply here! But here’s a response to get you started. First off, I definitely need to start writing more on the 90 day series. Regarding blogging, it can be hard to pick a niche — but remember, you can always launch several blogs if you like to discuss multiple topics. To start, just find one topic that you think you can spend a bit of time discussing. Sometimes you can merge 1-2 topics, but don’t try to discuss too many unique topics or you’ll lose track of your audience. Regarding freelancing, I would definitely recommend starting on Upwork. You don’t need a degree — but a portfolio will be very helpful. If you can show people what you’ve done in the past, they’ll be far more likely to be interested in working with you. Additionally, start with lower rates, and then up them as you receive positive reviews. I hope this helps! Let’s keep in touch and I’ll respond to future requests much faster. 🙂

  17. Wow, great job Rob! Thank you for such a detailed list of ways to make money online. I knew about a lot of these since I have been looking into this for a while. But the list still has quite a few money-making opportunities I was not aware of.

    Thanks!

    1. Glad you found it beneficial Abby! There are so many opportunities out there — I’ve found a few extra I need to add here as well.
