20 Ideas That Can Help Anybody To Make More Money

Posted on March 13, 2018June 14, 2020 by Tina Roth

If you’re looking to make more money, you’re not short of options. There are an abundance of things you can do to get more cash in your back pocket – some you will need a few skills and some spare time for, others, you don’t need to do much at all.

Here are 20 ideas that can help anybody to make more money. See which of these you can use and you could have more of the green stuff in no time:

Make More Money

#1 Ask For A Promotion Or Pay Rise

One of the best things you can do to start earning more money right now, is to ask your boss for a promotion or pay rise. The idea can be scary, but you could be missing out on more money all because you didn’t ask. If you know you already do things that someone in a higher position than you would do, and you feel like you have a good case to back you up, then go for it! Ask for a meeting with your boss and tell them what you want. When they know, they’ll be able to give you feedback and tell you if they want anything else from you before agreeing to pay you more money.

#2 Set Up Your Own Side Gig

If you have some spare time, setting up your own side gig could help you to bring in some extra cash. This is quite a broad idea, as your side gig could be absolutely anything. Many people work two jobs to top up their income, and you can even use the internet to start your own business idea. There are platforms you can use to help you. For example, you could start a clothing store on a site like eBay or Etsy, buying clothes wholesale and then selling them for a profit. Whatever you do, make sure you can dedicate enough time to what you choose to do without burning out.

#3 Write Ebooks

If you have some knowledge on a certain subject, and even if you don’t, you can write and publish Ebooks on the Kindle store and make money. If you’re passionate and knowledgeable about one thing, go with that and write about it. Then, it won’t feel like work and you can test out the waters to see how you fare. However, if you want to make this a viable business, the best thing you can do is look for what people are searching for and then write about that, with the help of keyword research. You’ll need to do extensive research on the topic to put a book together, but if it’s well edited, presented, and marketed it should do well.

Bear in mind you’ll need more than one to make a living!

#4 Start A Blog

Blogging is a fairly slow way to make money, but a way to make money all the same. If you start blogging about what you know (picking a niche is best), you could be approached by different companies and asked to take on campaigns for them. Of course you should stay true to your blog, but eventually, you’ll make money if you’re consistent.

#5 Create A YouTube Channel

As with blogging, the same goes for vlogging. You can make money per advert click on your YouTube channel, so if you’re making consistent, high quality videos regularly, eventually you’ll build a following and make money.

#6 Start A Global Business

This one might sound like the hardest one so far. We’re not going to lie to you; it will be. However, using the internet and by doing plenty of research, you should be able to start a business up in various countries. First, you need to pick one country and ensure you have a viable idea. Then, you can begin researching different cultures and figuring out how your product can fit into different markets overseas. It’s also a good idea to visit the countries you’re planning on targeting. Hacking Law Practice LLC can help you if you’re looking into starting up in the States. This is one idea you’ll really need to take your time with and come up with a great idea.

#7 Trade In Your Old Stuff For Cash

Take a look around your home. Chances are, you have plenty of old things that you can trade in for cash. For example, technology can be traded in and recycled, as can clothes, CDs, DVDs, and more. You might make more selling them on separately though, so be sure this is the best thing for you to do before making up your mind.

#8 Get Paid To Take Pictures

Whether you love taking pictures or you simply have a camera, you can get paid to take pictures and post them online, allowing other people to use them in posts and articles. Take high quality photos of things people could use. It could be anything, from pet pictures to pictures inside of the supermarket.

#9 Sign Up To Be An Extra

#9 Sign Up To Be An Extra

Becoming an extra isn’t actually as hard as you’d think. Providing you are flexible and have the time free to go to a movie set for hours each day, you could earn what you’d be earning in a regular job – sometimes more. It all depends on the budget of the film and whereabouts it is. You can sign up to extras websites, put in your pictures and some details, and you can then apply to jobs that suit you. Don’t be mistaken in thinking you’ll get your foot in the door this way – it could happen, but it probably won’t. Just enjoy it for what it is – and do as you’re told. Extras aren’t supposed to do improve on set.

#10 Rent A Room Out

Have a spare room in your home? You could rent it out to a lodger, or even a foreign exchange student.

#11 Sell Your Skills Online For A Fiverr

If you have a skill like logo design, or even caricature drawing, you could sell that skill on sites like Fiverr for a small amount of money to help top up your earnings.

#12 Earn Points As You Shop

Don’t forget to pick up loyalty cards everywhere you can and use them when you shop. You points will build up and you can then use those to buy things you need. You’ll also get sent vouchers from some companies!

#13 Use Cashback Sites

Want to get paid for buying things you were going to purchase anyway? Cashback sites are a wonderful way to do that. Simply visit your target site through the cashback site, make your purchase, and it should track in the system. It can take weeks to months, but eventually you’ll have your cashback. Let it build up and you could save a wad of cash!

#14 Work On Your Investment Portfolio

Investing is for everybody, not just people who wear suits. You can invest in stocks, bonds, property, and more. While it can seem complicated, there are even apps these days that can help you to put a small amount of your money into these things, getting you used to the process.

#15 Take Online Surveys

If you have spare time on your hands, take a few online surveys and see if you can build up some cash in your account. They don’t pay much, but if you’re not doing anything, it’s better than nothing.

#16 Become An Uber Driver

If you have a car, you could become an Uber driver. This is a great way to make some cash, but don’t forget that you have reviews written about you – so be sensible and nice!

#17. Create An Online Course

Perhaps you have knowledge or expertise in a certain area. Why not create an online course? This is a great way of making passive income, as you simply create the course and then put it up for sale. Offering support with your course, however, will usually make it sell better. It’s still minimal work for a decent amount of money. Create quality videos and quality course material you could have your course on sale indefinitely.

#18 Become A Tutor

Following on from the last point, if you have knowledge on a particular subject, you could even become a tutor. It’s easier to become a tutor than you would think, but you need to make sure you are great at the subject, that you’re a good teacher, and that you choose the right people to teach; children, or adults. You could teach maths, music, or anything else you feel passionately about.

#19 Start Pet Sitting/Walking

If you love pets, offering to pet sit and walk them in your spare time could be a lucrative idea. Just be warned that you may need to have checks done beforehand to prove you can be trusted.

#20 Rent Out Ad Space On Your Car

Renting out ad space on your car is ridiculously easy. Simply contact a company that offers this service, they’ll wrap your car with an advert, and you’ll get paid each week via direct debit. They remove the ad when it’s over, and you could be contacted again if they want to advertise in your area. Anybody can do it!

Which of these ideas will you use to make more money?

The idea of starting a blog has been hitting me for long; I took it seriously after falling into a spiral of debt and recovering from it.

I have been anxious all through the financial difficulties. I see that same anxiety in the eyes of people, whose ill fate has put them at odd with financial repose.

It makes me compassionate. Out of this compassion and goodwill, I started this blog. I wanted to help all those, who are facing financial distress..
