Everyone likes a little bit of extra money, right? If you agree with this then you are absolutely in the right place. Here in this post today I am going to be talking about some incredibly smart ways to make extra money right from your own home.
I wouldn’t say these are glamorous get rich quick type of gigs but they are legitimate ways to make money. The best thing about these is all you really need is an internet connection and a device to get you connected to others such as your iphone or laptop.
I am extremely passionate about helping others see that there is value in the online world. As a teacher myself I need my students to be able to recognize the value in crafting their own reality but I don’t think it is ever too late to learn this!
If you find yourself in a pinch for money or just want to make a little extra to save up for a new piece of furniture or to pay your gas expense then keep these in mind.
This post is all about ways you can make money from your own home.
Sell Some of Your Items Online
We all have extra items laying around the house. Even if you think that you don’t have anything to sell, chances are good you do. This is one way I have earned extra money personally and it is absolutely a quick way to earn easy cash right from the comfort of your own home. I have friends who have earned up to $400 in one day selling bigger ticket items such as furniture or old bikes.
You might overlook this one because you hear about it all the time but don’t totally rule it out. There is a reason people continue to sell their pre-owned items on Craigslist, Kijiji, and Facebook Marketplace. Selling your old items online works!!
Some items I have personally had success selling is: old clothing items (name brands due particularly well), home decor, old textbooks.
There are so many sites you could sell items on as well. I know of people getting quick cash from online thrift sites such as Poshmark, Depop, Mercari, or even Instagram thrift pages!!!
Become an Online Tutor
Being a teacher myself I have dabbled into the realm of tutoring quite a bit! I have personally never been an online tutor but in today’s age online tutoring is absolutely a space you need to get into if you want to make extra money.
The best part about tutoring is you don’t need any experience to start! I started tutoring while I was in university and thought I virtually had no skills to share. However, being a tutor only requires you to be one step ahead of the person you are tutoring! I tutored students as young as grade 1, anyone can handle that math, I promise!!
You could do this independently by posting an ad to a local job board and set your own price so you have the potential to get a really good return on for your time! There are also many websites that hire tutors such as the ones I’ve listed here.

Teach English Online
This is very similar to the one above but there are tons of opportunities to teach english online! Typically this will pay $14-$20 per hour which is pretty good when many companies do not even require a teaching degree.
My sister’s friend has been teaching on VIPkid to help make her extra cash while being in college!

Professional Resume Writer
I bet you have heard of this one before. Everyone is going to need a resume at some point or another so this is an excellent market to dip your toes into. Has anyone struggled to write a resume before? I know I sure have! Especially for a job that I really wanted but did not have a ton of experience to throw on the resume.
With the right knowledge anyone can create a resume that is guaranteed to at least get you to the interview stage.
If you like to be meticulous about detail, like the clean and polished look, and enjoy helping others achieve their dreams then maybe consider this. I did some research and typically professional resume writers on sites like Fiverr and Upwork are making $10.00 and up per resume based on experience!
This means that if you are quick at typing and know what makes a good resume then you can make quite a bit writing resumes for others!
Crafting/Selling your own Product
So this one requires a bit of upfront investment but I assure you with the time, attention to detail, and the right marketing anyone can make money selling their own products.
The best part about a job like this is you get to let your creativity flow and what you make is entirely up to you! One of the best places to look for products that are in demand is etsy. There are so many sellers on that site that have such unique ideas that they are genuinely passionate about creating!
