Dear readers, do you know every day you have so many chances to earn money online or offline? Just that sometimes we don’t look in the right places, therefore lose the opportunities to earn some extra income.
I always turn to these extra income earners during holidays to fund that additional spending. Extra income can be useful during holidays for shopping or travel or just to have a supplemental income fund. I firmly believe you should have more than one stream of income to be more financially secure.
Today, I am listing some easy ways to make money everyday and most of these are the things you do anyways in your daily routine.
All the below ways of earning extra income are the most legitimate and proven ways to make money online/offline.
1. Answer Question
Do you like to advise people on subjects you are good at?
Then, you have a way to earn extra cash. Sometimes answering questions and telling others what you know about a subject can make you some extra money. Can’t believe it? It is true.
There are many websites like A
Maven, JustAnswer and 1Q which will pay to answer the user questions. Most of these sites give you an extra income just to advise on the topics you are expert at.

Bonus Tip: With Askwonder, be very descriptive with your answers and do your research when answering. From my experience, short answers might not get you through successful signing up process.
2.Have Your Opinion
It sounds so easy, right?! Yes, it's.
It’s as simple as sharing your thoughts on particular brands and helping companies to design better products. How much you earn in this way is entirely dependent on which websites you use and how much time you spend on these.
I have seen some people making around$500 just by sharing their opinions. Sign up for websites like Pinecone Research,Swagbucks, Earning Station, InboxDollars,American Consumer Opinion. These are some of the most legitimate and paying sites, andthey do pay.

4. Share Post
or Tweet
Are you an Insta junkie like me?
Here is the good news, you can earn quite a good income if you follow the right ways being on social media. If Pinterest is your love, then try becoming a Pinterest VA (there is enormous demand for this).
You can sign up with Izea to start promoting brands and if Instagram is your thing, then get the scoop on how to make money on Instagram from my friend, Emma Lomas. She is a very successful Instagrammer who makes a great income from brand promotions.
Bonus Tip: Try to join as many influencer platforms as you can to get more exposure. Also, try to grow your followers and engagement on social media channel to get more opportunities.
5.Review Calls
Reviewing calls is another simple and an easy money making gig which you can do in your daily routine. Humanatic is the company which pays you for listening and categorizing the calls. You will be just tagging the calls into catis can be an easy break time job for you when you are at home with kids. Keep in mind that this is only an extra income option, and you need to be patient with the call reviewing. Interested in this? Go ahead and apply.
Bonus Tip: If you want to do good at this, you will need to be on the website and check back intermittently to see if you have the call to review.
6.Just shop
This is insane, isn’t it?! How do you get paid to shop?
You can if you know how to. There a couple of ways you can get paid when you do your usual shopping.
You can use apps like ShopTracker while you do your holiday shopping through Amazon, this app gives you a bonus of $3 when you connect your Amazon account, and after that, you get $3 every month.
You can shop through Ebates to get cash back, and the thing that makes it sweet is, you get $10 bonus when you sign up with Ebates. You can also scan your shopping with Ibotta app and get cashback.
Bonus Tip: With Ebates, apart from the $10 sign up bonus you also get a referral bonus of $25 for every friend you refer.
7.Drive
I love driving. In the last decade there has been a significant rise in ride sharing economy, and it is for good.
I have a bunch of friends (stay-at-moms who drive while kids are at school) who drive with Uber, Palm drive and make significant money. No, they don’t do it all day, just in the evenings and weekends and they earn substantial money from it.
There isn’t a better way to make money on the side, that is if you love driving and want to hustle. You can sign up as a driver-partner with companies like Uber and Lyft and start this side hustle.
Bonus Tip: You will get paid more if you drive at peak times but that also depends on the city you drive in. Drive during peak times, and you make more.
8.Listen to Music
I love this one! I am sure many of us listen to music while we do our daily chores. All the ways to make money by listening to music likeSlicethepie, MusicXray, FusionCash,HitPredictor, and Welocalize. With Welocalize, you get a chance to listen to songs and transcribe them.
Bonus Tip: All of these are only extra income options, so it helps to sign up for all of them and get going. Also remember that the more active you are on these platforms listening and reviewing the songs, the more chances you earn more.
9.Deliver Stuff
Does a quick run out to deliver some stuff sounds like a good hustle to you? Then you have a bunch of opportunities to earn money on the side.
I think this is a great way to make some extra cash while kids are at school. With UberEats,Amazon Flex, DoorDash or Postmates, the most significant advantage with all these delivery apps is the flexibility, you get to choose your hours.
Bonus Tip: Most of these apps will require you to undergo a vehicle clearance and a background check. You get to make most when you deliver during peak times, so that’s the peak money making period.
10.Rent Your Car
If you work from home like me or use your car very sparingly, then think about making some extra cash by renting your car. You can use websites like Turo (formerly RelayRides) andHyreCar.
You will have to register with these sites with details about your car first. Renting your car is a cool gig only if you are comfortable for someone to you use your vehicle.
Bonus Tip: Having a car in good condition does help to get more rentals and have a good profile with good pictures of your vehicle can increase your views.
11.Search the Web
Do you love browsing web for hours? Then you are looking at a passive way to make money online. Companies and brands are always trying to find out the user browsing habits to build better web interfaces.
And the best part is, they pay you to download apps like Qmee or Nielsen which just run in the background and collect data (nothing personal).
Bonus Tip: With Qmee you have to click on results when they show up. The amount you make may be less, but it can add up quickly if you browse frequently
