There are tons of ways to make money online. And that is good news, as more and more people are starting to chase the “making money on the internet” dream.
Some people are looking for ways to just make a little extra cash on the side to help with the bills, some are trying to find an online income opportunity that could replace their 9-5 job, and then there are those who want to build a real business that can make them rich.
hankfully, no matter which group you belong to, there are many different methods that can satisfy your needs, provided you are willing to do the necessary work.
I am going to divide this list into a few different categories to make it easier for you to find the kind of online money making opportunities you are looking for.
Let’s get started, shall we?…
A. Quick & Easy Ways to Earn Extra Cash
These are methods that can help you earn some quick cash with minimal efforts.
The amount you can make with these methods are by no means earth shattering, but if you are ever in need of a little extra cash, these are your best options.
1. Get Paid to Take Surveys –
Recommended Site: Ipsos iSay
This is arguably one of the most popular ways to make money online. The popularity of paid surveys should not surprise you as the market is driven by a conventional demand.
Manufacturers and companies are always keen to know how their products and services are doing in the market, and they are ever ready to pay handsome money to research companies to gather this information.
The market research companies, in turn, will pay you for offering such feedback. The explosion of Internet only serves to expand this market further, and make available paid survey works at more regular frequency.
Naturally, popularity attracts scams. You will have to be vigilant to look out for real legit survey sites.
2. Get Paid to Read Emails –
Recommended Site: Inbox Dollars
Participants will be sent paid e-mails that are embedded with individual links to a host of websites. You will be required to follow the individual links and check out the corresponding websites.
Such work does not pay generously. But by giving away seconds of my life in exchange for some real cash, I wouldn’t really mind at all!
3. Get Rewarded to Complete Offers –
Recommended Site: BashBound
Reward programs or GPT (stands for Get Paid To) are programs that pay members for doing a variety of tasks.
The to-do list there can be quite comprehensive, but it invariably covers most of the things that you have already been doing online in one form or another. Anything from taking surveys, visiting websites, and reading emails to shopping online, watching videos, and more.
In the bigger scheme of things, you can imagine these GPT sites as some form of brokers. They first cut deals with their advertisers with commitment on some parameters to be delivered (like to attract a certain level of traffic).
By cranking up the number, the GPT site makes good of their deals and will be paid generously by the advertisers, which is why they are happy to pay you if you help them achieve their objectives.
4. CashBack Shopping –
Recommended Site:QuickRewards
If you shop online, you’d be crazy not to use a site that gives you cash back for shopping through them.
I mean, if you’re going to buy something anyway, you may as well go through a channel that gets you some of that money back.
5. Become a Paid Game Player –
Recommended Site:Cash Dazzle
I am sure you have heard about story on people making a fortune from playing online games. Of course, the most famous example is Ansche Chung of Second Life fame. Believe it or not, she became a millionaire by playing that game.
Now it may be your turn!
There are no shortage of online game sites such as Cash Dazzle and Second Life. If you are still wondering how the virtual money you earned from playing online games can help you financially in the real world, let me just simply say that the virtual capital can be traded for real hard cash.
Go figure!
6. Get Paid to Search –
Recommended Site: SwagBucks
Search engines are all the rage in the online world, due to their money-making capacity. Undoubtedly, many are attracted in this business, but most realize that they are not to become another hit like Google or Yahoo.
To crank up the traffic, some of them have resorted to monetary rewards to bring in the users. As you start adjusting yourself with these new search engines, the money part may not come so easily and quickly.
But since you do online search anyway, almost on a daily basis, just keep your head down and plough in whatever little money coming your way. There is nothing to lose!
7. Get Rewarded for Watching TV –
Recommended Site: RewardTV
This is a site where you answer trivia questions about various TV shows. You can then redeem your reward points for cash and other prizes.
8. Review Movies –
Recommended Site: SurveySpot
This would the best job for anyone who loves movies. Unfortunately, finding one that can get you consistent gigs is very hard to do.
The closest you can get to being paid for watching movies is through market research companies that conduct studies about movies and TV shows, where you watch a show or a movie (normally just some parts of it), and then answer a few questions about it.
I haven’t been able to find a market research company that is only dedicated to those studies. However, from my experience, SurveySpot is one of the survey panels that conducts the most movie related surveys.
9. Rate Music –
Recommended Site: MusicXRay
Who wouldn’t like this gig! This job consists of listening and rating songs. The best sites I have found that pays you for rating songs is MusicXRay.com where you can earn potentially $1 for every song you rate.
10. Give Advice –
Recommended Site: Ammas
If you are the one in your circle of family and friends who people turn to when they need advice and help with everyday stuff, you could make some extra money by becoming a paid advice giver. Sites like Ammas pay you for doing precisely that.
11. Become a Paid Twitter –
Recommended Site: PaidPerTweet
This one requires you to either be famous and well-known, or at least have a decent following on Twitter.
Basically, you will be paid to tweet sponsored messages. PaidPerTweet is one of the best sites for that.
12. Paid Blog Commenting –
Recommended Site: PostLoop.com
Most bloggers have so much on their hands that they barely have time to interact with other blogs in their niche.
So, they hire people to do the commenting on their behalf. Your best bet is to go through sites that match bloggers with commenters, sites such as PostLoop where you can earn around $0.08 per comment.
13. Get Paid to Click –
Recommended Site: Clixsense
This is one of the oldest and most famous ways of earning pennies online.
I don’t really recommend this since the amount of money you earn for spending so much time clicking on links is just too little to make this worthy of your time. But since this post is about available money making options, I am including it here.
14. Get Paid for Being Online –
Recommended Site: Gomez PEER
Yes, it is real! There are sites that pay you just for being online.
These sites help big companies improve their website’s performance and user friendliness by having you install a software on your computer, then tracking your activities when you are on those sites.
The data gathered from users around the world helps those companies adjust their websites to make them better. They don’t pay much, but then again, once you install their software, you really don’t have to do anything else.
15. Win Money for Losing Weight –
Recommended Site: HealthyWage
Yes, that’s real too!…
HealthyWage is a website that creates weight loss challenges and competitions where you can earn cash for losing weight.
The site is legit and was even highlighted in the New York Times, Time magazine, and other press outlets.
16. Participate in Mock Trial Case –
Recommended Site: eJury
There are many websites that pay people to participate in their mock trials as an online juror. These mock trials are used by lawyers and representatives to get a feel for their case and how an actual jury may react to it.
Out of many sites out there, the most well-known site is eJury.
B. Ways to Make Money Overtime
These options are great for those looking to spend a few hours a day and earn an extra few hundred dollars or so a month to help with some of the bills.
That said, depending on which method you choose and how much time and effort you devote, many of these options can be turned into full-time online jobs with great money making potential.
17. Help Students with Homework –
Recommended Site: Student Of Fortune
If you can help students with their homework, they can help you with your bank account! There are many homework help and tutoring websites out there. Students post their questions, and experts (you) earn a certain amount for helping them with answers.
There is also a cash incentive for the best available help or advice. If you are still pretty much in touch with schoolwork, this can be a great avenue to earn some money.
Answers posters have claimed that they could make a decent living out of this platform, with the top performer reportedly to have made $127,000 a year.
18. Do Micro Jobs –
Recommended Site: Microworkers
Microjobs are on the rise as companies realize the power of crowdsourcing small but time-consuming tasks.
These tasks can be anything from transcribing an audio file or rewriting a sentence, to proofreading an article, making a few phone calls, and everything in between.
19. Get Paid to Answer Text Messages –
Recommended Site: ChaCha
More and more people are using their smartphones for everything, including finding answers to questions they come across in their daily lives.
A site like ChaCha makes it quick and easy for those looking for quick answers to get them within seconds via text.
