I’ve set aside a few easy and quick ways that can help you earn some real income from your home without having to spend hours on end in front of the computer to do so.
1 – Test Out New Websites for Make Money From Home
Yes, you can actually get paid for testing out new webistes, products and services. The most well-known platform that allows you to do this is called UserTesting.com where you can get paid to test out new websites from top brands such as Facebook, CBS, Wayfair and more.
All you have to do is signup for a free account on their website and follow the instructions to give some quality feedback and recommendations for improvement that the brand can use to make their website even better thanks to you. In return, they will pay you a commission for your feedback.
2 – Do Online Surveys
Filling out online surveys is also a viable way to make some extra cash online but has the onus of taking more time to fill out numerous surveys. In exchange for your feedback, some sites might pay you in cash or even in gift cards to major stores. Check out Toluna, Survey Junkie and Swag Bucks if you want to get to know more about surveys and how much they pay out.
If you are a fan of old-school print magazines, checkout Rewards Surveys which offers participants free magazine subscriptions in exchange for their opinions.
The Google Opinions Rewards app is also a really good option to have on your phone, they warn you every time a new survey is available. It has 10 questions maximum, so it doesn’t take a lot of time to complete it. The good thing here is that you can transfer the money to your PayPal account as soon as you hit $2 (there are others out there where it’s $10 or $20).
3 – Rent Or Sell Your Clothes
Thereare a lot of online marketplaces where you can sell your clothes such as Poshmark.com where all you have to do is snap a few photos of the pieces you are going to sell, set a price, fill in some details and wait for somebody to fall in love with your item.
The good thing about sites like Poshmark is that you don’t have to pay for shipping and handling of the item because they take care of that for you. It’s like having your own little ecommerce for your used clothes. If you don’t want to sell them, you can lend them out…no, that wasn’t a typo.
There are platforms such as StyleLend.com where you can rent out items of clothing and get paid 80 percent of the price that someone choses to rent it for. You have to submit every item you wish to rent out for approval as they want to maintain a certain standard. This is a great option for those party dresses or high-end bags that you don’t use too much anymore that could really help a girlfriend out in a tight squeeze.
4 – Track Your Health And Physical Activity
MyAchievement.com is a fitness and health app that rewards users in points for activities such as meditating, walking, answering questions about yourself, and logging in meals. You can transform those points into PayPal cash or donate them to charities. This is very useful if you stick to a fitness routine and make some small but worthwhile financial gains.
5 – Rent Your Bikes For Make Money From Home
If you’re not using your bike right now, someone could be, and you could be making money out of it by renting it out. If that’s something you think could work, checkout Spinlister.com You can make extra cash by sharing your sweet ride with enthusiasts, tourists, and serious riders.
As users decide what days and times they want to book their ride you can call it an Airbnb for bikes. This is not only applicable to bikes, you can rent out snowboards, skis, and surfboards as well.
6 – Transcribe Interviews Or Help Translate and Make Money From Home

7 – Scan Your Receipts To Unlock Savings
If a price goes down on an item you acquired recently, you can almost every time get a refund of the difference – as long as the receipt is still valid. But it can be a little bit hard and tedious to keep checking prices to see if they’ve fallen.
Luckily, there is an app that can do this for you: Paribus from Capital One monitors price changes on items you bought so you won’t lose your precious time doing it. You only need to scan your receipts to the app and it will notify you if potential savings are detected.
While the app cannot give you back the money, it can file a claim for you with the retailer. Paribus works with big-name retailers like Target, Home Depot, Gap, Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and more and is worth checking out.
8 – Making Money From Home Selling Your Photos
