2. Ebates for Money Back
With Ebates you just shop like you normally would online. Go to Ebates first and then search for the store you are wanting. They have many stores and most likely the store you are wanting to buy your item(s) from will be listed.
Then you just click to go to your online retailer of choice through Ebates, and then Ebates will give you your percent back! Sometimes you can get 10% to 15% back on your purchase. It’s easy money!

3. Swagbucks for a Side Hustle.
Swagbucks is a search engine (like Google or Yahoo) that offers you the chance to earn “swagbucks” for different things. I mainly just do my normal internet searches through Swagbucks.
Then when you accumulate enough, you can go to the prize store and get anything from toys, electronics, and gift cards. Most people buy Amazon gift cards.
So far I have made over $658 in Amazon gift cards. It’s super easy to use, so sign up NOW!

Survey companies I recommend include Publishers Clearing House, Survey Downline, ProOpinion, Pinecone Research, Opinion Outpost, Survey Spot, National Consumer Panel, VIP Voice, Earning Station, and Harris Poll Online.
They’re free to join and free to use! You get paid to answer surveys and to test products. It’s best to sign up for as many as you can as that way you can receive the most surveys and make the most money.
5. Invest!

7. Test websites to make money at home online.
This is a relatively new way to make money online at home that I have heard about. User Testing is a website that pays you to test websites. You get paid $10 for each website you review and test, and $15 per website that you mobile test.
If you are interested in learning how to make side money by testing websites, the tasks are relatively easy. What you do for this online job is that you will go on a person’s website and it will all be recorded (just your computer screen is recorded as well as your voice so that customers can see what exactly it is that you are doing). You will navigate around the website, say what you like and dislike about it, what you recommend they change and more.
You do not need to be a super technical person for this online job as they want real people to review websites to see what people really think.
8. Consult others.
Do you have a skill that you think would benefit others? Something that’s valuable enough where others are willing to pay you in order to learn from you?
If so, then the next of my 10 different ways to make money online is to become a consultant. Consulting can cover many different areas. You may teach someone how to find new customers, how to lower their expenses, how to save time with a business process, and more.
For me, I sometimes consult others on creating and owning a blog, as well as how to handle social media accounts more effectively.
For a consulting career, you will need a laptop, internet, phone, and something that will allow you to do video calls.
9. Sell products online.
Selling online is such a broad topic to cover but it can be a great way to make side money.
You may decide that you want to sell crafts that you make yourself online. You might go around to auctions and thrift stores and hope to find something worth a lot of money. Or, you might write a book and sell it on Amazon and online bookstores.
There are many websites where you can sell your products online such as on eBay, Etsy, Craigslist, and countless others.
In order to sell items online, you will need a laptop, internet, a camera, and, of course, your finished product.
10. Work in customer service from home.
If you are interested in learning how to make side money then working in customer service may be for you.
You could work for a call center, for example, where phone calls from customers are routed to you. The pay for work from home customer service positions usually ranges from around $9 to $11 per hour.
For a work from home customer service position, you will most likely need a computer, phone, and internet. In order to have and hold a customer service position, you probably need to have some sort of customer service background, such as in retail or at a restaurant. You should be friendly, be able to handle problems without getting mad at the customer, and be a good listener.
Another way to work in customer service would be if you helped customers through an online chat. We’ve all seen these. This is where a person might ask to chat with someone online (usually a popup that comes up when someone is on a company’s website) to ask questions related to a product.
