Online Hustles 1. Blogging Just about every business today has a blog on their website. I think it is safe to say blogging is here to stay and you may as well be part of it. If you have a passion, create a blog and write about it. You can earn money through affiliates who will pay you to mention their brand on your website. For example, an auto mechanic may blog about fixing cars. If he creates an affiliate link inside of his blog post, you may go out and purchase the same tools and the mechanic would get a commission from the tool company. Very often your side hustle could soon outperform your day job….and then outperform any expectations you have ever had. Just ask Pat Flynn from the Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle 2015 - 2016 All Rights Reserved Smart Passive Income where he shares with you his monthly income reports ($127k/month for May 2015). If you would like to create a blog, I would recommend starting with Bluehost and WordPress. It’s exactly how I got started – See How You Can Set Up a WordPress Blog in 15 Minutes 2. Fill Out Online Surveys There are dozens of these sites popping up that claim to pay you money for taking surveys online. Some of them are garbage; however some of them are legitimate and will actually pay you in the form of VISA gift cards, Amazon gift cards, iTunes gift cards, Starbucks gift cards. Here are the top two survey outlets I recommend: ● Harris Poll Online – This company will pay you in the form of Amazon Gift Cards, iTunes Gift Cards, and Starbucks Gift cards just to name a few. In order to earn these rewards, you need to fill out their online surveys they are actually pretty entertaining. ● National Consumer Panel – This company will actually pay you in the form of VISA Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Cards, iTunes Gift Cards, or even a Kindle Fire. If you want any of these rewards, they are going to either send you out a scanner or you can download an APP on your smartphone. Your job is to scan the barcode of the items you purchase each week with your app or handheld scanner which is then reported back to the survey company. In addition, they also have online surveys you can take to earn rewards as well. Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle 2015 - 2016 All Rights Reserved 3. Amazon Selling on Amazon is almost identical as selling on eBay in terms of fees and ease of use. However, sometimes items that don’t sell as well on eBay do better on Amazon and vice versa. Either way, it is a side hustle worth looking at if you can buy for cheap and resell for a higher price. 4. Amazon Affiliate Links I know of a guy who started out as a handyman. He then took that idea as a handyman and started his own blog to teach people how to fix things themselves through blogging and video tutorial. At the end of every post or video, he would tell you what tool he used to get the job done and would provide a link directly to Amazon for you to purchase that product. However, he also signed up for a free Amazon Affiliate Account. Every time someone clicks on his link and buys ANYTHING on Amazon, he gets a commission! Think about this: Amazon pays him for the tool he recommended and also for anything else they Add To Cart. This is why I love blogging and why I have a free tutorial to help you get started.

Whether it is motivating someone, helping them pass a class, or teaching them how to build a website, this can all be done online. Setup you’re pricing, terms, and accept payment through something as simple as PayPal and you are on your way. I recommend using Skype or Google Hangouts since it is 100% free. Help someone and get paid – genius. 6. Create an Online Course Is there something you are good at and can teach to others?

Craigslist We all know you can buy and sell stuff on Craigslist, but have you ever thought about offering a service you can provide. If providing a service isn’t your thing, you can scan Craigslist for great deals and then later resell items for a profit. This takes persistence and patience, but I have a friend who went from a $4k truck to a $24k in truck in 18 months by flipping cars from Craigslist. 8. Ebates Ebates is a company that has partnered with over 2,000 online companies to form an affiliate relationship with each of them.
