Ways to make money without leaving the house
Gone are the days where we must work the 9 to 5 grind. These days there are endless options available online for you to be able to stay home and earn some cash, dollar. For the most part, you don’t even need a degree or specific qualification to begin earning money. What you do need though, is patience. Some of the suggestions will make you money, but you’re not going to be instantly wealthier with all of them. There are some that are perfect for supplementing your income, and others that can become your income if you put the effort in. Let’s have a look to see how we can top up your bank account and your wallet.
19 - Babysitting
Before you think that this is clearly not right, because how can you babysit without leaving the house… there are babysitting from home options. Parents are loving this idea because not only are their children looked after, but they don’t have to deal with the mess left behind after a fun night at home without the parentals. There are several sites that will allow you to post your details on them, just bear in mind that you have to have references and background checks done. The average rate is around $28 / hour.
18 - Get cash for your unlimited data plan
Did you know that it’s possible to sell your unlimited data plan on your phone and tablet? Yep, through a site like eBay, you can sell the plan for as little as $300 up to $2,000! We won’t lie, it’s easier said than done, but if you are willing to jump through a few hoops, from your house, you could have a few extra hundred dollars to spend.
17 - Make your opinion count
Taking part in online surveys can earn you up to $250 / month and you can fill them out while watching your favourite series. The trick is to find the right survey site that is more your demographic. Many survey sites will accept your information and you’ll receive invites to take part in the survey. You’re then asked several preliminary questions, and if you pass those, then you’re on the next step to filling out the survey. Be vigilant of sites just phishing for your details, and if you’re unsure, do your research before sharing your details.
16 - Get in the pound seat
And by pound seat, we’re referring to dogs. If you love pooches more than people, then becoming a dog sitter is the ideal stay-at-home job for you. There are fantastic online portals which allow you to register as a dog-walker or sitter and people in your area can easily make contact with you. Otherwise, start your own small business and start doing something you love with the added benefit of earning cash for it!
15 - Recycling for a good cause
And by a good cause, we mean your wallet! Of course, recycling is great for the environment, but did you know that you can make some money from it too? Wine corks are said to sell quite well online, and you’re not going to become mega-rich from selling them, but you will earn a few extra bucks for the next bottle! Many crafters are in the market for wine corks for their projects and will pay up to 5 cents per cork. There are also companies that buy cork in bulk, but you’ll need at least 10-pounds of cork to make it worth their while. On a side note, they don’t accept plastic or synthetic ones, so make sure they’re proper cork.
14 - Justice is served
Jury duty usually means leaving the comfort of your home but now you can do it while wearing a smart shirt on top, and slippers and PJ’s on the bottom! You can get paid for sitting on an online mock jury to give feedback to cases that they’re currently working on. The aim of this is for the attorneys to get an idea of what the outcome might be in the case, and you could earn up to $60 / case.
13 - Your Move
This is a novel idea, and one that you can easily start today. When you’re browsing through thrift stores, charity shops or garage sales and you come upon board games that are missing pieces, buy them anyway. Why? Because often people are looking for missing pieces from the same set, and then you can sell yours! One person made $250 within 6-months selling spare pieces. Don’t expect your listings to sell right away, but be patient, you could be sitting on some extra cash when you least expect it.
