In fact, this post has over 250 legit money-making ideas for you to try — and get paid. Yes, we live in exciting times! There’s a renaissance of people doing business with people — instead of giant companies — a movement facilitated by an ever-growing array of marketplaces and apps. If we think back in time 200 years, almost all commerce was peer-to-peer, right? We traded in small town squares and knew our neighbors. Then big corporations came in and took over the world. The “sharing economy” — with the help of websites and apps — is displacing some of those corporations and getting us back to our roots. These app-powered peer-to-peer transactions are unlocking an estimated $300 billion in economic activity by 2025. Want your piece of the pie? This post is all about how you can get in on the action.

You’ll find options to make everything from a few extra bucks all the way up to building a full-time job-replacing business. They won’t all work for you, but I’m confident something will.

Here are some of my favorite quick n’ easy ways to save without drastically changing your lifestyle of spending habits. 1. Credit Card Sign-Up Bonuses Get free money from a bank. You’ve got to promise to use this strategy responsibly, but it’s made my wife and I thousands of dollars over the past few years. Credit cards like the Chase Freedom are offering up to 30% cash back — $150 after you spend $500 — with no annual fee. Learn more and compare this card to other cash back cards here. That’s :) If you know you’re gonna spend $500 in the next 3 months, it’s a no-brainer, right? Or if travel’s your jam, you can do even better (though the minimum spends are higher to earn the bonuses). On certain travel cards, you can earn the equivalent of 40-50% cash back or greater in the form of travel points and rewards. My “daily driver” is the Capital One Venture card, which earns 2 points for every dollar I spend and currently has a 50,000 point sign-up bonus (worth $500) after you spend $3k in the next 3 months. You can apply right from your phone and often get a decision instantly. And no, since I know you’re asking, this hasn’t hurt our credit scores. If anything, having more available credit has probably helped them. Just please be smart about it and pay it off each month! Click here to check out the best current bonus offers and apply today.

A couple weeks later Trim came back saying they’d negotiated $347.88 off my Comcast bills over the next 12 months! Cha-ching! Click here to try it out yourself. 3.

Check out Esurance for a quick and painless quote process and some of the best rates in the business. It’ll take just a few minutes (you can even do it on your phone) and could put $200 or more back to your bottom line. 9. Drop Drop is a super-passive way to add extra cash back rewards to your offline shopping. You pick the 5 stores you frequent the most–places like Target, Safeway, Starbucks, and Trader Joe’s–and you’ll earn an extra 1%-ish cash back on whatever you buy there. Just download the app, link your credit or debit card, and you’ll earn extra rewards points for the purchases you make every day. It’s similar to Dosh below, very hands-off, but I’m essentially earning an extra 1% cash back on routine grocery shopping and Target runs. This one is super passive — once you’re set up you’ll earn rewards automatically, which you can then cash in for gift cards to places like Amazon or Starbucks. It took a few months to earn my first free $10 Amazon gift card, and have earned a couple more since then!

Dosh A friend turned me onto Dosh, and I’m pretty excited about this one. It gives you cash back (generally 7-10%) for dining out at local restaurants, and up to hundreds of dollars cash back on hotels. It’s definitely worth checking out at least to see if some of your favorite local spots are included — and for sure before you book your next trip. Even out in the ‘burbs by me there are quite a few deals, and you can see I’m up $35 on the app already. The cool thing about Dosh, especially for the local purchases, is the cash back credit happens automatically after you create an account and link your card. You don’t have to fumble around with the app or show a QR code to your waiter or anything like that. They’ll even give you $5 in free starter cash when you download the app and link a credit card. 11. Paribus Find out if stores owe you money. Paribus is a cool free service (owned by Capital One) that scans your inbox for online shopping receipts to see if the prices have dropped since you bought. If they have, they’ll go to bat for you and try to refund you the difference based on the price protection policy of the store. It probably won’t make you a ton of money, but it also takes just a couple seconds to sign up and gives you peace of mind when shopping. I just got a $10 Amazon credit after Paribus noticed that one of my orders wasn’t delivered on time. They sent a note to customer support on my behalf without me having to do anything.

Make Extra Money with Your Car (Driving) Lyft – You’ve probably heard of “driving for dollars” with services like Uber and Lyft, but it doesn’t get much simpler than this. One driver of mine on a recent trip put it this way: “When I want to make money, I turn on the app.” Lyft is currently offering a $1000 first month guarantee for new drivers.

Make Extra Money with Your Car (Renting it Out) Turo – Turo is a leader in the peer-to-peer car rental space. If driving people around Uber-style isn’t your jam, you might consider this as an alternative. Your car probably sits idle at least some of the time and the idea behind Turo is to put that idle time to use — and earn $500 a month or more. They’ve even got a cool little calculator on their site to estimate how much you might earn. turo Naturally nicer, newer cars in popular travel destinations earn the most, and I’ve actually heard of people taking out leases on cars specifically to rent them out on Turo. A couple friends used the Turo platform to essentially get a free Tesla! Listing your car is simple and takes about 10 minutes. GetAround – GetAround is a similar concept to Turo, and has car owners earning up to $10,000 a year and rental periods as short as one hour.

If you’re looking for ways to earn extra money, consider how the cash you already have is growing (or not) on its own. Real estate may be one of the oldest and most popular side hustles in history, and there are several ways to get started without a ton of upfront capital. Fundrise – Fundrise was my first foray into “alternative” real estate investments (and I have since joined their affiliate program).

PeerStreet – Accredited investors can make short-term rehab loans with property as collateral on the fast-growing PeerStreet platform. Interest rates are typically 7-10%.

Massey walked me through how he got started building his real estate empire using this method for less than $100.

If you were a decent student or have some subject matter expertise, you can use these services to earn extra cash and help students at the same time. VIPkid – VIPkid is a unique platform on which teachers get to help Chinese children learn English online via teleconferencing sessions. According to their website, you can earn up to $20 an hour doing so, and if you’re eligible to work in the US or Canada, the only prerequisites are a bachelor’s degree and a year of educational experience.

Make Extra Money with Your Home Airbnb – Airbnb is one of the most well-known sharing economy platforms and is disrupting the entire hotel industry. One Side Hustle Nation guest rented out his spare room to essentially live rent free, and another rents his entire apartment while traveling the world. I’m a fan of Airbnb as a user (I’ve stayed in Airbnbs in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey, Japan, Mexico, and several cities across the US) and think it’s definitely a great way to monetize an underutilized asset under your own roof. We’ve even seen people buying investment properties solely for the purpose of turning them into Airbnb rentals. Your rates are going to be dictated by your local competition, which could be anywhere from $40 to $300 a night. And as Jasper pointed out on the podcast, if you have hotels in your city or town, you know there’s at least some demand. airbnb SHN Bonus: Get $35 off your first stay. Home Away – A well-established vacation rental site specializing in whole-house rentals. VRBO – Vacation Rental By Owner, another marketplace for short-term vacation rentals.

When I ran a search for an upcoming trip to San Diego, I found rates from $27-65 a night. Wimdu – Airbnb clone with a heavier presence in Europe. 4stay – 4stay focuses on student housing, so if you live near a college or university, or like the idea of hosting summer interns, this could be the platform for you. Production Locations – If you’re in LA, you can make $1-3k per day(!) renting your house out for TV commercials, TV pilots, and movie shoots. If you’re going to list on one of these sites, you might as well cast a wide net and list on all of them. Just make sure to update your availability calendar when bookings come through on different platforms. Sell Physical Products I call this the age-old “buy low, sell high” business model, and it still works today. In fact, with the distribution channels available to you today, you can reach more customers than ever. Ebay – The auction site is still going strong and can be a good place to list your products. Side Hustle Show guest Darrel Fitzpatrick told me how he sold $100,000 worth of stuff (mostly used electronics) on Ebay by buying locally and re-selling online. Amazon FBA – FBA is “fulfillment by Amazon” and is Amazon’s unique way to crowdsourcing its inventory from individual sellers like you and me. Not only can you take advantage of Amazon’s world class logistics network, but you can also tap into their massive audience of buyers. Amazon FBA as a business comes in several “flavors”: retail arbitrage, private labeling, and wholesaling among them. Check out these resources to learn more: The Top 3 Amazon FBA Private Label Product Research Strategies for 2018 and Beyond How to Scale Your Amazon FBA Retail Arbitrage Business: From Flipping Textbooks to $4 Million in Sales Wholesale on Amazon: From Part-Time Hobby to $13 Million in Amazon FBA Sales BookScouter – Use the free BookScouter app to find out what books are worth — either the ones you have lying around collecting dust or ones you come across at garage sales or library book stores. Decluttr – Decluttr is an interesting service that takes the pain out of listing individual items on Ebay. Instead you scan them into Decluttr, they give you a price, and you ship everything you have (books, DVDs, electronics) to them in one box — they’ll even cover shipping. You can definitely make more selling your stuff on your own, but the convenience factor is tough to beat. Gazelle – Trade in your old cell phones to Gazelle. They make it super easy and your old devices could be worth $25-200 or more. Build Your Own E-Commerce Store – Start a 14-day free trial of Shopify and put your products up for sale to the world. Drop Shipping – With drop shipping, you can sell physical products online without having to buy any inventory upfront. Instead, you work out deals with the manufacturers or distributors to ship the items directly to your customers on your behalf. On a popular episode of The Side Hustle Show, Anton Kraly broke down how to get started. Sneaker Flipping – Side Hustle Nation reader JV Ortiz contributed this piece on how he earns $10k a month reselling popular limited edition Nike and Adidas shoes. Flipping Cars – This can be a good side hustle, especially for those more mechanically inclined than I. Jeremy Fisher wrote this guide on how to get started and make $500 or more in a weekend. “Flea Market Flipping” – My buddy Rob Stephenson is “the Flea Market Flipper” and makes a great living finding odd items to resell. He told me the story of finding a prosthetic leg for $40 and turning around and selling it on Ebay the next day for $1000. There are profitable deals everywhere! Bonanza | OfferUp | LetGo | Mercari | Facebook Marketplace – A handful of peer-to-peer marketplaces to list products as an alternative to Ebay or Craigslist. Subscription Box – The challenge with many physical product businesses is you have to keep replenishing the inventory and find new customers every time. The subscription box model adds a recurring revenue component to the game, and can make things a little more predictable. On the podcast, I sat down with side hustling police office Sam Gonzalez to learn how he’d built his men’s fashion subscription box, UrbaneBox. Make Extra Money from Your Art and Designs Merch by Amazon – Amazon’s print-on-demand t-shirt program makes a great side hustle. You upload your designs, set your price, and then let Amazon do all the work of printing and shipping your orders. Elaine Heney made over $50,000 doing this part-time and shared some of her tips on The Side Hustle Show. (My wife made over $2k doing this in her spare time last year!) Teespring – With Teespring, you create your own unique t-shirt designs and then market them to relevant audiences, earning the spread between your purchase price and the cost to produce. The interesting thing about Teespring is unless your campaign hits a minimum critical mass of orders (that you set), nothing gets printed and nobody gets charged. My friend Benny earned 6-figures in his first 6 months as a Teespring seller, and stopped by The Side Hustle Show last year to fill us in on how it works. teespring sharing economy TeeChip – A Teespring alternative with slightly lower costs.

Cafepress / Zazzle / Spreadshirt – These are the 3 largest print-on-demand t-shirt (and other merchandise) sellers. How it works is you upload your designs and create your own storefront. When someone buys, you earn a royalty on the sale, but never have to touch the inventory or ship the product; the company does it all for you. I actually tried to upload some “hustle” related designs / quotes to a Spreadshirt shop last year, but never made any sales. I found the interface really clunky and confusing but maybe I should give Cafepress and Zazzle a try. (In fact, it probably makes sense to syndicate far and wide since the hardest part was coming up with the designs.) I think this has the potential to be a really cool passive income stream, especially if your designs can begin ranking on their own in Google. What do you think of my designs? hustle spreadshirt designs Threadless – Create your own store and submit your t-shirt designs to Threadless, a fun community of independent artists and fans.

Since I started on the site, I’ve earned over $11,000, met some awesome people, and found an alternative distribution platform for some of my work. How it works is you come up with a base “gig” — something you can offer for an entry-level price of $5, and then add relevant upsells or packages to increase your order value.

Amazing list! So many ideas are now brewing in my head… Fantastic resource Nick! Tina June 16, 2016 at 9:39 am | Reply Amazing resource!!!!! Thank you sooooo much for putting this together. sandeep June 16, 2016 at 11:38 am | Reply Nick.. Thank you for this great list..

Thanks, Nick. Dee June 16, 2016 at 1:16 pm | Reply An awesome list. A couple of these I just started with. But there are others that I now have on my radar.

I’ve supported about 200 deals at this point, as I found that getting 15-35% yearly return is way better than leaving money in my savings account at .01% interest. Nick Loper June 19, 2016 at 9:25 pm | Reply Wow, nice results Jose! Any filtering criteria you use to find deals you think will be winners? Jose Vieitez June 19, 2016 at 9:28 pm | Reply I look for deals that have multiple other products they sell, so that if this products slows down, they can use the revenues of other products to pay back. I also look at deals that have multiple offers they’ve paid back on Kickfurther, and also for companies that have robust retail distribution partnerships in place (like they are at Target, Walmart, etc) rather than companies that are more seasonal and rely on trade shows and such, which is unpredictable and expensive.

Thank you so much – this will keep me busy investigating options for a while ! I have had some small success with Audio Jungle (part of the Envato group of sites) – uploading short music files that I have created once, yet they keep on selling. I like your Fiverr example too http://www.sidehustlenation.com/self-publishing-platform-outsold-amazon/ – I’ll have to try that one ! Thanks HEAPS, Matthew (Melbourne, Australia) Nick Loper June 28, 2016 at 9:47 pm | Reply Thanks Matthew! It sounds like the Audio Jungle stuff is a great passive income stream :) Other similar sites you could syndicate the same tracks? Matthew June 29, 2016 at 10:39 pm | Reply Sort of, kind of, yes, but…. Audio jungle has been good to the tune of hundreds, but not thousands of dollars for me so far. But very passive, yes ! Audio Jungle have an exclusivity clause, so putting exactly the same tracks up on another competitor site is not an option. However, modifying these tracks, or creating different tracks is certainly possible. Perhaps spreading things out a bit, like your Amazon Kindle to Fiverr experience with your book might be my next step. Thanks for getting my brain working and prompting some thought processes for me :-) Matthew Lee July 5, 2016 at 6:13 am | Reply Hi Matthew, Interested to know more about audio jungle, what kind of music files did you create? Are you a musician ? Evan Oxhorn July 6, 2016 at 3:38 pm | Reply Lee, Matthew & Nick – I’m a musician how has used several of the stock music sites, and personally I’d recommend Pond 5 over Audio Jungle. I get into a WAY more detail about it here: http://www.stockmusicmusician.com/stock-music-site-reviews/. But the long and short of it is that Audio Jungle offers a lower royalty payments, no control over setting your price, and its upload and review policies are terrible. And I would strongly urge against signing an exclusive agreement with the landscape of music changing so quickly. Matthew July 6, 2016 at 5:20 pm | Reply Hi Evan, Thanks heaps and piles and lots for the suggestion ! I will have a look at your StockMusicMusician recommendations. I agree with your comments about Audio Jungle completely, however unfortunately it comes with the territory of being a musician. For example, a band I’m in has got a live gig coming up soon… We’ll get paid $10 each ($50 total) and a jug of beer to share if we’re lucky for almost four hours work….sigh. Thank you Evan once again. Matthew (Melbourne, Australia) Matthew July 6, 2016 at 5:08 pm | Reply Hi Lee, Yes I am a musician and a computer nerd. While I prefer playing funk / rock music, I have found a small success in the relaxation music niche. I have uploaded to Audio Jungle a few short relaxing instrumental songs (less that 90 seconds), one or two of which can be looped. And they keep selling. I know I need to do some more but finding the time is difficult. Audio Jungle do have very strict rules and policies, many of which are arguably restrictive and obviously in their favour, but they are easy to use and they certainly have the buyers/traffic. I would certainly recommend them if you have some old original music tracks of your own gathering dust on your hard drive that you know you’re never going to do anything else with. Good luck!

Janet August 4, 2016 at 1:10 pm | Reply I totally agree Cathy, we have to do our due diligence for things like this. I’m very happy with Wrapify, they pay by direct deposit every two weeks and their customer service is great. Everytime I’ve had a question they’ve responded very quickly.

Nick Loper August 4, 2016 at 2:29 pm | Reply Awesome Iqra — keep me posted :) Quince August 11, 2016 at 6:27 am | Reply A solid list. Most like this – not really that I’ve seen too many similar and exhaustive list – tend not to organize the content so well into types. I’m a skimmer, and this made it really easy to work through and find what I was interested in. I have used Thumbtack in the US and found the response really quick. I’ve also had friends use https://www.bidvine.com in the UK to find a photographer for a going-away party and they were really happy with the result. I’m actually going to sign up to Scripted – that’s a good find.

Becky January 1, 2017 at 4:14 am | Reply Careful with Carvertise. Shady business practices for their drivers. Their wrap wrecked our paint job on our car and they are being extremely difficult working with us to get it fixed. I gave them a 1 Star rating on their Facebook page and they literally sent my husband an email saying if I didn’t change the rating he wouldn’t be reimbursed for the damages to the car. Shady business practices. Keith Chamberlain January 3, 2017 at 8:01 am | Reply Great list! Thanks for compiling.

I have been driving for Amazon Flex for about a year now and can comfortably say it’s a pretty decent gig in terms of pay. There’s a lot of confusion out there because Amazon gives a broad range of “18 to 25 dollars” per hour, and it ultimately depends on your driving costs (gas, depreciation) and how well you get tipped. I’ve been averaging about 20 dollars per hour, which is not bad for just driving packages around. This article does a good job explaining the details behind how your pay would be calculated: https://www.azflexinfo.com/how-much-can-you-get-paid-with-amazon-flex Nick Loper October 9, 2017 at 7:40 am | Reply Thanks for sharing Steve!

DNN March 15, 2018 at 7:11 am | Reply You want to know the truth about the side hustle? You will be extremely successful with affiliate marketing and blogging. Blogging is a beautiful content marketing labor of love. The Pro to it is you’ll make all the money you want. The con to it is it’s a pretty lonely life. So you give up something in exchange for something else. Would you rather go to a cushy day job with a salary cap of working for a narcissist employer and be denied a raise after asking and keep working for them? Or work for yourself and become a millionaire and live a lonely life? Something to truly think about. Ariel Guzman March 21, 2018 at 2:15 pm | Reply I own almost 200 pair of shoes.

DNN March 26, 2018 at 5:04 pm | Reply Hey Nick, I’m glad you brought up this post about making extra money in 2018 because as you said, it’s easier than ever now with the side hustle being ever so popular to make money on our own terms without relying on the narcissist employer. Most employers throughout America want to enslave employees into thinking and feeling that they can’t succeed without the corporation when this way of looking at maintaining gainful employment is absolutely wrong. The beauty is that the side hustle provides a beautiful work in your spare time opportunity from your desktop computer, laptop or smartphone through affiliate marketing, blogging, and selling your personal goods online as a means of supplementing your existing income. In fact, the side hustle is so secure that it’s better than having a cushy day job or working for an unfaithful employer who seeks to do nothing more than turn their employees into virtual slaves, deny them pay raises, and secretly set them up for termination while milking them for all the commission money they can get out of them. I do believe we’re living in exciting times because anyone can build a million-dollar content-based business while on the go. They can create content with their smartphone while driving, resting in a park, barbecuing food for the family, or outlet stores such as Polo Ralph Lauren, shopping at the Tommy Hilfiger store, Nautica, Girbaud, Guess, Aeropostale, and other fine outlet stores and take images and record video on location and put it into a Blog for the purpose of driving traffic and making money from affiliate links on blogs and websites. I wish I knew how to do this 20 years ago because as I tell most people, I probably would have been 20 million dollars richer today or at least a millionaire. It’s all good though because everyday is a learning experience and side hustle entrepreneurs. Agree? I’m a reference this blog post in a thread in the near future on DNN and recommend people visit your blog about making extra money in 2018. I’m really glad you mentioned this because you have a lot of interesting sites linked on here that I need to check out.

Now, if there’s one good thing picked from this post, and most of your other previous posts, it is the fact that there are a countless number of ways anyone, from anywhere can make a living from the internet. It has never been easier than now to make money online, and I’ll encourage everyone who cares to listen to get involved with this right now as it is getting more interesting everyday. I guess that most people that started online business started with Online Surveys. Myself for example, that was also how I started years back. And if I could remember vividly, I started with CashCrate and Survey Monkey which you mentioned here too. Honestly, I never knew that those guys are still in business, it’s been years man. Although, I didn’t really made anything significant from online surveys, but it was indeed a great experience. When it wasn’t favoring me as I thought it would, that was when I now ventured into blogging and affiliate marketing which I’m still doing today. andrew April 5, 2018 at 2:15 am | Reply FYI your wegolook affiliate link is broken Nick Loper April 5, 2018 at 6:55 am | Reply Good catch Andrew, thanks.

There is a long list of people recently saying that the app is no longer working properly and they are not getting credit for their purchases. Peerless Money Mentor April 9, 2018 at 11:45 am | Reply Very detailed list. I have used WeGoLook, Lyft, and Uber to make some extra income. Mel @ brokeGIRLrich April 10, 2018 at 6:54 am | Reply Three more you can add: AcaDemon – depending on how you feel about this ethically, you can upload college term papers. Students buy them for “research” (I mean, maybe they are?) and you get 50% of the sale. I made a few hundred dollars from it the first few years after college. BevRage – it’s like iBotta for liquor stores. As long as you get an itemized receipt, you scan it and can get rebates on certain beer, wines and spirits. Rev – it’s a transcription service that’s super easy to get started with. I was able to make like $200 a week doing it when I hit an unemployed patch. Nick Loper April 10, 2018 at 9:01 am | Reply Nice! Thanks for sharing Mel :) JoeHx April 11, 2018 at 8:37 am | Reply Awesome list – I’ll definitely have to come back to this. I currently do Mturk and Merch by Amazon, along with a few other t-shirt platforms. I don’t do nearly was well on the other t-shirt platforms as I do with Merch by Amazon. I’ve made almost $1000 via Merch this year, whereas I think I’ve barely broken $10 on the others combined. Nick Loper April 11, 2018 at 9:07 am | Reply Whoa nice work Joe! Dallin May 17, 2018 at 9:39 am | Reply Suggested addition to your list: Neighbor – http://www.storewithneighbor.com It is as passive as passive income gets. Just list your unused space and rent it out as storage space. I personally became a host and made $150 a month all last summer. I now work for them and there are hosts that are earning upwards of $400/month for just an empty garage. Check it out! Rahul Digital May 19, 2018 at 1:06 am | Reply Awesome list. This is definitely one worth bookmarking to come back to. DNN June 8, 2018 at 12:05 pm | Reply Who couldn’t be more excited to turn a small side hustle by working online part time into a future million dollar home based business? Traditional employment is slowly becoming obsolete. With employers and family members treating someone the wrong way thinking they’re getting away with it, little do they know they inspire someone to be a future “side hustle millionaire,” by starting an online side hustle and working their way to millions. There’s so much “extra side hustle money” to be made online that outweighs working a day job for an unthankful employer.
