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

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.

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.

5. Become an Online Coach

If you have an idea and can help people, pay attention. 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? I have a friend who will teach you how to clean pools over his site, Swim University. Check out Udemy for ideas on your next online course and see how much people are paying for someone like you to teach them. Money Peach has it’s own flagship program for teaching students how to go from ehhhh with their money to becoming Awesome with their money!

7. 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. An affiliate relationship simply means Ebates and each online company have created a partnership where Ebates will refer you or I to buy something from them, and that company then sends Ebates a thank-you referral.

The good news: Ebates then splits the thank-you referral with you, and you earn Cash Back.

The Better News: You can Make Money by referring friends, family, or anyone else to join Ebates!

Ebates extends their referral program to any Ebates member who would like to share how to earn Cash Back while shopping online. Once you create an account with Ebates, you can invite your friends and family to join in on the

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

Cash Back savings, and YOU will also receive a thank-you referral, aka make money.

9. eBay

You can have your own store up in only a few minutes at eBay. To start, you must have a seller account, must be verified through PayPal. You are even able to give a detailed description of your store with a catchy design to attract customers. I have a friend who will buy all of the unused bras at a last chance type of store and resell them for a profit at her eBay store. Last I heard, she was doing $1,000/month in her first couple of months.

10. eBook Publishing

Make money by writing your own book and self publishing it on Amazon for free. There are different options available for how your can price your book and earn income from the sale of your book in the Amazon store. Questions about self publishing your own book? Check this out.

11. Etsy

Instead of having to open up your brick and mortar store, sell your creations on Etsy. Whether you make clothing, crafts, baby toys, or jewelry, you can

Money Peach LLC

www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

open up your own store at Etsy. I have a friend selling her awesome clothing line on Etsy and it brings in a very nice income for the family. This is another great side hustle, but don’t expect instant results. You may need to be patient for this one.

12. 99 Designs

If you are creative and can create designs for company logos, t-shirts, coffee mugs, or even a social media page, you can submit your ideas and compete for a buyer. If the buyer chooses your design, 99 Designs will pay you $10 to start off.

13. Fiverr

Although it is called Fiverr, you will only be netting just under $4 after Fiverr takes the first 20% and Paypal takes a few more pennies. However, there are many things you may be able to do quickly for $4. A quick design, a quick voice over if you have that deep sexy voice, or creating a quick intro video for a company in a matter of minutes for you techy type may get you some quick and painless cash. Also, if you sell enough, keep a good rating, and Fiverr likes you, there are levels you can advance inside Fiverr for higher cash payouts and more gig offers.

14. Inbox Dollars

Again, not a huge money-maker but you can still earn something for very little effort. Inbox Dollars is a rewards club that pays you in cash for completing a variety of online activities. This can include searching the internet, filling out surveys, printing off coupons, and shopping online. If you are already doing these things, you may as well get paid for it, right?

15. Sell Your Hair Online

Thinking about a new hair style? You may want to. People are paying up to $1,000 for quality hair if you can remember to wash it more than once a month J Check out what your hair is worth at Hairsellon.

16. Sell Your Photos Online

Do you take amazing photos? You can actually sell your photos online at places like iStockPhoto, Shutterstock,Fotolia, and Bigstockphoto. Photos can be sold over and over again, allowing you to earn a residual income!

17. SwagBucks

Not a huge money maker, but for a few minutes a day, you could earn a $20 Amazon gift card each month. How it works is you earn points, AKA SwagBucks, for watching promotional videos, participating in polls, taking

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

surveys, buying products, playing games, and searching the internet through their own search engine. If you spend a few minutes a day doing these activities, you can earn enough points to be redeemed for Amazon Gift Cards, PayPal Cash, or pre-paid cards from Visa.

18. Upwork

If you have skills in the online world, people are looking for you at Upwork. Whether you can provide Website Design, IT, Writing, Customer Service, Voice Talent, or Photography, Upwork will connect you with someone. They take a 10% fee, but 90% is still a great side hustle.

19. User Testing

Don’t want to do an online survey, but still like to surf the web and earn some cash? Companies will pay you to try out their apps or visit their websites and give them feedback. Usertesting and Testbirds uses your feedback on apps and websites that aren’t as user-friendly and then pays your for it.

20. Virtual Assistance

Companies small and large are looking for people to become their next assistance from their computer. Gigs can range from managing social media,

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

answering phones, customer service, and website coding. Check out Upwork to become a freelance assistant right away.

21. Zazzle

Make money on Zazzle as a designer by selling your artwork on different products or you can actually make and manufacture the products for sale. I have a friend who takes old dry wood and paints slogans on them. She needs to sell them on Zazzle; she could create a very quick and profitable side hustle.

Offline Hustles

22. Uber Driver

If you are unfamiliar with Uber, then check to make sure you still have a pulse and you are breathing air. In a nutshell – you use your own car as a taxi and drive people around for money on your time. Be extra awesome and you’ll earn great tips as well.

23. Babysitting

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

If you like kids and don’t go out on the weekends, become a babysitter. Advertise to all of your friends (and Facebook Friends) that you will watch their kids so they can have a date night. New to the area? Then get connected with Care.com to become a certified/recommended babysitter in your area.

24. Be a Paid Designated Driver

Pretty self-explanatory

25. Be a Sperm Donor

This is straight out of the movie Road Trip when they need gas money. However, you can make substantial money donating sperm, with some places offering up $1,000/month to healthy men. Be aware, if you’re not a true thoroughbred, you won’t be paid as much!

26. Be a Plasma Donor

Since there is no way to synthetically make plasma, you will be compensated for your donation. Rates vary from state to state, but you can make on average $200/month for only a few hours of your time….and blood.

27. Become a Cuddler

Ah yes, cuddling. This is an actual real job and I recently saw it featured in a news segment. People are paying for up to 3 hours of platonic hugging (and they pay a lot). Job requirements: enjoy hugging strangers.

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

28. Catering

If you love cooking, serving food, and entertaining at your own home, then get paid to do it for someone else. This can be fun and can often go from side hustle to full-time if you’re really good at it!

29. Clean Pools

This requires very little overhead and is simple to do. Go to Google Earth and look up which homes in your neighborhood have a pool, and offer to start today. I actually did this to get out of debt and it worked out great!

30. Computer Repair

If you love “playing” computers, then help someone repair theirs and get paid for it. Note: You must know a little bit about computers.

31. Computer Training

How many Baby Boomers (or anyone for that matter) do you know who are still having trouble checking their email. If you were able to navigate to this web page, then you probably have the skills to teach extremely basic computer skills to an extreme beginner.

32. Deliver Pizzas

I had a friend who tried this out and he was shocked how much money he could make. Go above and beyond and offer up dog treats to a customer’s

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

dog and a balloon for a customer’s child and you’ll see your tips start to skyrocket!

33. Airbnb

Did you know you can rent your room or house out at Airbnb? They have been around since 2008 and millions of people have been renting out their rooms or entire homes to travelers from all over the world. If you do this right, you may be able to cover your entire mortgage! If you’re going to be gone for a month or two, you may as well allow your space to make money while you’re gone.

34. Dog Walking

Create this ad: “Love your dog but simply don’t have time to walk them? Let me help you!” There will always be someone willing to pay to keep their doggy happy, and this person is you.

35. Gig Walking

Download the free App and then find “gigs” in your neighborhood that companies are willing to pay you for. Can you check out the price of milk in a certain store for $6 or snap a pic of a storefront for $5 on the way to work? Note: You will start off with the crappier jobs in the beginning, but prove yourself and you will start getting offered the higher-paying jobs soon enough.

36. Golf Course

If you love being around the golf course (or don’t mind a few drunk old men) you can make pretty good money part-time by collecting balls off the range, cleaning golf carts, or serving cold beers at the tee box.

37. Guitar Gigs

A friend of mine finds guitar gigs online, on Facebook, and in the paper all the time. He shows up, plays for a few hours, and leaves with cash in hand. Note: you must be good at playing the guitar.

38. Guitar Lessons

If you are handy on the 6 string and can show someone else, teach them. Better yet, teach the world online how to play guitar.

39. Handyman Work

Some people are handy and others are not. Let your neighbors know that you are available to hang a ceiling fan, patch a hole in the drywall, fix an irrigation leak, or paint a fence. All can be done for them ASAP for a small fee

40. House-sitting

Who doesn’t want to get paid for simply living in someone else’s house for a few day days? This is simple and people will pay you for it. You can think of it as a mini staycation too!

41. House Cleaning

People are busy and don’t have time to clean their homes. This is where you come in. Search your area in Craigslist to get an idea for pricing your own services.

42. Lifeguard

Become a lifeguard and earn $16/hr – $20/hr part-time. Not only do you make some extra cash, but you are guaranteed to get a little tan as well.

43. Mobile Oil Change

If you don’t mind getting underneath the car and pulling the drain plug for people, then this could be your next side hustle. People are busy, and may want to pay you to change their oil while they are at work. Note: Wal-Mart always has the cheapest oil.

44. Mowing Lawns

If you don’t have the funds to purchase all the equipment, then offer to your mow lawns with their equipment. I actually did this in grade school because I wasn’t old enough to drive. I just showed up, grabbed their lawnmower, and was paid.

45. Mystery Shopper

Get paid $10 – $30 on average to be a mystery shopper. However, beware because there are a lot of scams out there. I recommend checking out Marketforce, Best Mark, and Intelli-101 before you head anywhere else.

46. Network Marketing

Network marketing (sometimes referred to as multi-level-marketing) can sometimes have a bad annotation if you have ever been scammed in the past. However, there are very reputable companies out there that you can start working for today with very little buy-in or overhead. A member of our family started off her network marketing business as a side hustle and has turned it into a part-time gig with full-time income. Warning: if you are told it doesn’t require any actual work – run away!

47. Personal Training

Someone out there wants to get into better shape, and they are willing to pay you to help them. If you love fitness, this would be a perfect side hustle for you.

48. Painting Gates

Gates fade and someone needs to repaint them. A kid in the neighborhood took pics of faded gates and pretty gates and posted them on the mailbox with his number and price. (I think one of the faded gate pics he took was my gate also).

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

49. Paint Street Numbers

A father and son rang my doorbell and pointed out to me my street numbers were faded. “For only $10, they would repaint my street numbers so my house would look better”. I paid it and it took them 37 seconds. They did 6 houses on my street alone. This is a great little side hustle.

50. Painting Services

Remember that movie American Pie 2 where they spend the summer in a lake house and do some side painting. No one likes painting their houses or walls, so why not help them out for a little side cash? Start out small by offering to paint a bedroom or two, and work your way up from there. Pricing rule: $1 per square ft of painting.

51. Pet Grooming

There are people out there that simply will not shave their dog and will pay you for it. Create a Facebook Page called “iShaveDogs” and let all your friends know! Someone will hire you.

52. Pet Sitting

If you truly love animals, then why not get paid to hang out with someone else’s dog or cat for the weekend? You can become a pet sitter at Care.com or specialize in only watching over someone’s pooch at Rover.

53. Pick up Dog Poop

Who likes picking up dog poop? Nobody. This is why you can get paid for it.

54. RedBox

You love renting movies for only $1.50, but did you know you can get paid to stock DVDs into the kiosks and make sure they are working properly? Check out Redbox Jobs.

55. Rent-a-Friend

You can sign up for free at Rentafriend to be someone else friend both part-time and full-time with pay between $20/hr – $50/hr. Yes, this sounds very strange from the outside looking in, but a lot of times you are helping someone get acquainted in a new town, meet a new group of friends, or simply have a cup of coffee with. Most importantly – friendship is always platonic (no touching).

56. Rent out your Car

Did you know your car sits idle 93% of the time? If you’re not going to need your car for the next couple of days/weeks/months, you may as well let it earn you some cash. You can list your car through websites like FlightCar or RelayRides and have your personal car rented out tomorrow.

57. Rent out a Room full-time

Own a home and need extra cash each month? Rent out a room in your house to help cover the mortgage and free up some of your cash.

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

58. Sell Scrap Metal

Post in your social media or offer in the newspaper that you will come and take any scrap metal away for people. Not only could you make a few extra bucks for hauling away metal, but then you could sell it at a scrap yard. Double whammy!

59. Sell Drinks where it’s hot (and where it’s cold)

I live in Phoenix where it will hover at 116°F. I also see a guy selling sno-cones and water for a premium. I asked him how business was recently – he smiled and said “Business is gooooooood”. Buy a case of water at Costco for $0.12 a bottle and resell them for $2 wherever it is HOT. Who wouldn’t pay $2 for ice-cold water during the dog days of summer?

60. Shoveling Snow

No one likes shoveling snow and this is why you will be paid for it.

61. Sign Spinner

Do you ever see those people standing on the corner, wearing headphones, oblivious to the entire world around them, and flipping signs in the air? They are making money and you can too.

62. Sign Holder

Maybe you’re not the spinning type…

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

63. TaskRabbit

Become a task rabbit and get paid. People in your neighborhood are looking to pay you to put together furniture from Ikea, do their grocery shopping, install a ceiling fan, be a bartender at their party, or mount their TV to the wall.

64. Tax Prep

When I was in college, TurboTax hit the Internet. I created an ad on a bulletin board and offered Tax Prep for those who make less than $100k/year so I could use the free 1040EZ software. My overhead was $0 and I charged $20 to punch the numbers from the W-2 into TurboTax.

65. Tutoring

Take your education and use it to make money on the side. Tutor students and get paid handsomely. Eduboard is a place where you can get paid for online tutoring too.

Money Peach LLC www.moneypeach.com/sidehustle

66. Drive People to the Airport

Some airports don’t allow Uber or Lyft to drop people off or pick them up, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still offer up airport rides on your own. Post an ad to all of your friends on social media that you are now their preferred method of getting to the airport. I used to do this when I first got my license and it paid very well

67. Wash Cars

If you can wash a car, then you can make money. People are busy and don’t have time to even take their cars to the wash anymore…this is where you come in.

68. Wash Windows

I recently paid a guy to wash my windows because he advertised $4/window. He spent about 1 hour washing a total of 20 windows and walked away with $80 cash. His entire setup was a bucket and a squeegee. Maybe I should wash my own windows and my neighbor’s windows for an affordable price of only $4 a window.

There you have it, now get to work!
