Earn Money In Spare Time

 Freelance writing is a great way to make some extra money in your spare time. Whether you’re a budding author or an experienced journalist, freelance writing is a lucrative and fun way to earn money. With a few simple steps, you can get started as a freelance writer and start earning an income.

 The first step is to build a portfolio of writing samples. This will show potential clients what you can do and help you land more jobs. Look into guest posting on popular blogs or magazines, or try submitting pieces to freelance writing sites like Upwork, Freelancer, or Guru.

 Next, decide what kind of writing you want to specialize in. Do you prefer long-form articles? Short blog posts? Technical writing? Knowing which kind of writing you excel at will help you focus on the right clients and projects.

 Once you have your portfolio together, start pitching. Reach out to magazines, newspapers, and websites and offer your services. Try joining relevant Facebook groups and communities and see what kind of opportunities come up.

 Finally, don’t be afraid to set boundaries with clients and charge a reasonable rate for your services. The key to successful freelance writing is charging what you’re worth and setting realistic expectations from the outset.

 With a bit of dedication and hard work, freelance writing can be a great way to earn some extra money in your spare time. Good luck!

 Whether you’re looking for a side hustle to replace your day job income, or just for a way to make a few extra bucks, I’ve got you covered.

 There’s gold in this list. I’ve used several of the ideas below to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars over the past decade.

 They won’t all work for you, but I’m confident something will. And remember, reading is great but results only come from taking action.

 User Interviews is a great resource for connecting with remote consumer research studies. I’ve made $105 in about an hour and a half so far — 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.

 No list of money-making ideas would be complete without an old favorite: online surveys. Power users of these apps earn $30 a month or more.

 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.

 Remote bookkeepers can earn $20-70 an hour and up for their work. This is a great option for people with accounting experience from school or your day job.

 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.

 The pioneering auction site is still going strong and can be a good place to get your products in front of 130+ million potential buyers.

 The well-rated iOS and Android game pits you against similarly-skilled players, where everyone receives the same virtual deck of cards. The 3 players who finish with the most points win. (Of course, I recommend practicing for free first!)

 The popular Bingo Cash game app turns classic bingo from a game of luck into a game of speed and skill. Each game only takes about 2 minutes to play, and you can earn real-world rewards and cash prizes (except in AR, IA, LA, SC, and WA).

 At press time, the app has a 4.7-star rating on the iOS App Store from 97,000+ reviews, with players calling it legit, fun, and addicting.

 As with all gaming apps, practice for free first. Then, never put more money at risk than you can afford to lose.

 If your local market is too expensive, take a look at Arrived, a cool online marketplace built for busy investors. For as little as $100, you can buy shares of cash-flowing rental properties.

 Fundrise allows you to invest in a portfolio of commercial properties all around the country. I’ve been a Fundrise investor for years and they’ve consistently paid quarterly dividends in the 5-10% yield range.

 I’ve been earning 4.75% interest with my Betterment Cash Reserve account. Of course, rates are subject to change but this is a whole lot better than the pennies a year we earn on our checking account balance.

 This probably isn’t the right path if you need to make extra money quickly, but can build into a full-time income stream over time.

 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 over $75,000 in author royalties, and I think books are a pretty awesome way to both build authority in your niche and earn passive income along the way.

 Field Agent presents a list of tasks you can do based on your location. If you happen to be running errands nearby, 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.

 Babysitting and child care was my original income stream as a teenager, and is still a viable way to make extra money.

 Tutoring and test prep is more than a billion dollar a year industry. You can start your own tutoring business to earn extra cash and help students at the same time. Bonus points if you were a decent student or have some subject matter expertise!

 Wyzant is a popular online and in-person tutoring platform that connects you with students in a wide variety of subjects and grade levels.

 As a tutor, you set your own schedule and rates. For example, when I searched Wyzant for math tutors nearby, I found several tutors charging $40-60 an hour.
