A few decades ago, we couldn’t have imagined how crucial the internet was going to soon be in all of our lives. We get our news online, learn online, shop online, meet new people online – and some actually earn money online. Whether it’s their main source of income or just a side hustle they dedicate some free time to every week, the online realm offers a ton of great money-making ideas and opportunities.

In this article, we’re going to highlight the most popular ones and show how you too can earn extra money without ever leaving your home… or your home office chair, for that matter!

Taking up freelancing projects

When you think of ways to earn money online, freelancing projects are probably among the first ideas that come into your mind. Businesses often hire freelancers for company needs that are too small or short-term to hire a full-time employee. If you have any professional skills and some free time to dedicate to side hustles every week, you can sign up on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, and apply to various job offers.

Website building, graphic design, copywriting, data entry, and dozens of other types of projects are available on these and other similar platforms – and if you offer good quality services for a competitive price, you’ll have enough work to make money online every month or even week.

Monetizing a personal blog

If you enjoy writing and creating content, chances are, you have an online blog already. Statistics show there are currently more than 600,000,000 blogs online, and their authors publish over 2,500,000,000 blog posts every year! Of course, most of these blogs stay pretty small due to their owners’ lack of passion or knowledge about how they could monetize their blogs and earn money online. Here are some of the simple money-making ideas you could use to help your blog become a lucrative side hustle:

  • Write sponsored content and guest posts
  • Add various banners and ads to your blog
  • Try affiliate marketing, which allows you to promote various goods that can be purchased online and score a percentage of every sale made via your affiliate link
  • Try selling various digital products on your blog, such as e-books, photo editing presets, online courses, etc.

Using passive income apps

When you’re looking for ways to make money online, it’s not really wise to dismiss the ideas that seemingly pay little without actually checking their concept out. Some of them might actually bring you little money but require even less of your time and effort – so why miss out on extra money?

Honeygain is one of the most effortless ways to earn money online – and it’s available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. You earn by simply leaving the app running on your computer or smartphone with a stable internet connection. The app shares your unused internet bandwidth and pays you $3 per every 10GB. That’s right, you don’t actively do anything – which means you get free PayPal money, Bitcoin, or JumpTokens. It’s a great way to make the most of your Wi-Fi or unlimited data plan! Honeygain has also recently announced its new partnership with a remote work platform JumpTask which allows users to earn cryptocurrencies by completing various microtasks.

Selling photos or designs

If you’re a bit of an artistic soul, you can also earn money online by selling your photographs to various photo banks, such as Shutterstock or Getty Images. You will get paid whenever your photos get sold to users, and the platform will collect a fee for serving as a middleman. The amount of money you can make is hard to predict, but it always helps if you’re good at taking photos that are less uniquely artsy and more suitable for commercial use, such as book covers, magazine illustrations, and so on! 

More of a graphic design or painting person? You can sell your designs to print-on-demand platforms like RedBubble and earn money online every time someone buys a shirt, a bag, or another item with your art splashed on it!

Testing websites and apps

Companies are always looking for external people to review their products and say whether they actually are as clear and user-friendly as the team has intended. Therefore, testing various websites and applications on your personal device and providing feedback is a great way to earn money online!

Upon registering with a website like UserTesting, you’ll be provided with opportunities to help brands create products and services that align better with the customers’ actual needs and preferences – and a chance to make some extra money is always a plus! Depending on the length of the test, you can earn a reward from $4 to over $100 (for an in-depth interview) in one sitting.

Understanding how to make money online is great for supplementing your primary income with additional earnings. This way, you can have more money for your hobbies, more freedom to experiment with investing in crypto or stocks, or maybe more chances to travel? It all depends on you!
