5. Refer Friends to Companies and Apps You Love
I’ve made over $2,000 dollars just by referring friends to two money saving resources I use weekly.
With social media being an easy platform to use to share what you love, it’s easy to tell friends about companies you use, and then earn money for referring people to those resources.
I use Ibotta to save money on groceries each week, and I use Ebates to save money when I’m shopping online.
When I refer friends to these companies and they start using them as well, I earn $5.00 to $25.00 per referral. It’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask me, and anyone can do it!
6. Become A Freelance Writer
If you’re a fast typer and writing comes easy to you, freelance writing is a quick and easy way to earn a few extra hundred bucks per month. I currently freelance write for several blogs on top of writing for my own blog, and it’s a great way to supplement my income.
Most companies or blogs will pay you either a set amount per article, or a cent amount per word. When I first started freelance writing, I got paid $50 per 500-1000 word article.
I could type up an article with that many words in an hour, so I was essentially getting paid $50/hour. My hourly rate has now more than doubled as I’ve gained experience and credibility.

7. Trade In Old Textbooks, Cell Phones, Tablets, Kindles, and Video Games with Amazon
Do you have old textbooks, cell phones, tablets, Kindle readers, and/or video games that you no longer use? You can use Amazon Trade-In to get paid for sending in your unused items. The best part is it doesn’t matter where you ordered the items originally, Amazon will still buy them regardless. Talk about easy money.
8. Sell Gently Used Clothing
I’ve sold over $800 dollars worth of clothing on Poshmark, an app designed specifically to sell your new or gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories.
All you have to do is snap a photo of your item, enter a description, and click to list your item. It’s that simple! Depending on how many clothing items, shoes, and accessories you have taking up space in your closet that you no longer use, you could be a few hundred richer by the end of the month!
It’s an easy way to earn extra income for some pretty simple work.
9. Advertise Your Car
If you need money ASAP and you want to earn it with the least amount of work possible, this is a great option for you. Wrapify will pay you up to $450 per month to drive your car with an advertisement on it. This is the easiest side hustle to earn extra money I’ve ever seen in all my research of side hustles.

10. Flip Old Furniture

13. Nanny Or Babysit
Care.com is a great way to find families to babysit for on the weekends or nanny for part-time as a side hustle. I first joined Care.com in August 2013 and within 1 week I got my first summer nanny job for 2 kids at a home 1 mile from where I lived. I continued to use Care.com each summer since and have now nannied for over 4 families for children ranging from 6 months old to 11 years old. It has been the best experience; I truly can’t recommend nannying or babysitting enough if you love kids and want to make easy money.
Care.com is fantastic for connecting you with hundreds of families who are in search of a full-time nanny, part-time nanny, or an occasional babysitter. You can even be a tutor or become a dog walker through care.com.
