Toggle11. Make Use Of That Spare Bedroom
If you have an extra bedroom in your house, you can earn a nice side income by listing it on rental sites. It’s a simple process that involves cleaning and maintaining the property, paying a service fee, and setting up the necessary home goods. Websites like Airbnb provide a platform where you can list your home or spare bedroom for potential renters.
Getting started is quick. You can create a listing for your room or house on the website and start accepting reservations on the same day.
Payment can be quick to medium depending on the site and the specific arrangement. In most cases, payment is made 24 hours after the guest checks in. Some websites may require half of the payment at check-in and the rest at check-out. However, payment methods can vary.
It’s important to follow all rules and regulations set by your homeowners’ association, landlord, or condo board regarding rentals to ensure compliance and a smooth experience.
12.Take Online Surveys For Small Earnings
If you’re looking to earn a little extra money on the side, you can participate in online surveys for a small income. Keep in mind that survey sites typically don’t offer high payouts, and many of them reward you with gift cards instead of cash. Survey Junkie and Swagbucks are popular websites that pay for taking surveys.
Getting started is quick and easy. Simply register on a survey website and start taking surveys.
Payment methods and timelines can vary. Some websites require you to reach a minimum earnings threshold before you can withdraw your cash. For example, InboxDollars allows you to access your earnings once you’ve reached $30.
Payment can be considered medium, as it depends on the site and the amount of time you invest in completing surveys. Some sites may offer cash redemption through points, while others may provide gift cards as rewards.
13. Find Small Tasks Available On Amazon’s Mechanical Turk
You can find small paid tasks through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. To get started, you need to sign up as a worker on MTurk and then you’ll be assigned various tasks like tagging images, classifying receipts, transcribing videos, and more. The duration of each task varies, and the employers determine the pay rate for different tasks. They review your completed task before making the payment. However, it’s important to be cautious about such gigs as there is a risk of scams. You can join Reddit forums to get advice and avoid falling for fraudulent offers.
The setup process is considered medium in terms of time. It may take several days for Amazon to process your application, according to feedback from workers.
Payment is steady but can take some time. After completing a task, the requester or employer may take up to 30 days to review and approve it.
You have the option to receive your earnings directly deposited into your account or choose an Amazon gift card as a payment method.
To sign up for Amazon Mechanical Turk, you must be 18 years or older and have an Amazon account.
14. List Your Car On A Renting Service
City dwellers often have cars sitting idle for days or even weeks. If you have a car that you don’t use much, you can make money by renting it out to others. Services like Turo and Getaround allow you to list your car for rent on an hourly or daily basis. Don’t worry about car damage because these services take a percentage of the earnings to provide insurance coverage during the rental period.
Setting up your car for rent on Getaround or Turo takes approximately 30 minutes.
Payment is usually steady to medium. For the first rental through Turo, payment is made a few days after the trip. After that, payment is typically deposited into your account within about three hours after the rental ends. It may take a few days for the payment to reflect in your bank account. If the rental is longer than a week, you’ll receive payments in installments every week.
To participate, you’ll need your own car. If your car is leased, you should check your agreement to ensure you’re allowed to share it with renters. Your car must also meet certain requirements regarding its model, mileage, and other factors.
You’ll need a valid driver’s license.
Most services require you to be at least 21 years old to list your car.
