Starting a side hustle online and unlocking multiple income streams sounds like a dream come true. Imagine having more time to spend with friends and family and traveling anywhere you want—all while making more money.
The best part? You don’t need to be an expert to get started. Even as a beginner, there are dozens of ways you can start making extra money online.
Here’s how to make money online for beginners (we've an article for more advanced entrepreneurs on how to make money online also). As long as you have an internet connection, you’re good to go.
How to make money online for beginners
1. Get involved in market research
Companies are constantly looking for consumers to test websites and digital products, and to provide feedback on their latest features. The good news is, you don’t have to be a pro at using a product or service to take part in market research—in fact, brands are often looking for people who don’t know much about their product to get their initial thoughts. A video game company, for example, might pay a gaming novice to test out how intuitive the game is for people of all levels.
You don’t have to test games, though. There are plenty of sites that record people using a website or navigating a new product and pay them for their efforts. For example, UserTesting pays $10 for a 20-minute screen recording and survey sites like Swagbucks and Branded Surveys pay respondents for their time.
Startup time: A few minutes to create an account on each site.
Effort: Minimal effort depending on how many surveys or research activities you want to be involved in.
First payout: Immediately.
What to know:
- Most survey and market research sites require participants to be 18 years of age or older.
- Survey sites often have a limited number of paid surveys each month, so be sure to sign up to multiple sites to increase your chances of getting paid.
2. Become an online tutor
Teach what you know. Everyone has something they’re knowledgeable about, whether it’s trigonometry, classic literature books, or Spanish conjunctions. The best part is, you only need to be one step ahead of the person you’re teaching to help them.
Because of this, there are tons of websites that let people from all over the world sell their knowledge to students. And because the majority of lessons are done via video chat (or even text chat), you can work remotely from anywhere.
This industry has exploded during the pandemic, providing people with an easy way to make money online as a beginner, regardless of how much they know about a topic. Sites like TutorMe and Wyzant have an easy setup process and let you advertise your services to potential students in several different countries, whether you’re teaching math, science, English, or another language. If there’s something you’re particularly knowledgeable about, you can create short tutorials or sell your lessons to business owners.
Startup time: A few minutes to create an account on your chosen tutor sites.
Effort: Minimal effort to get started, but it will require a certain amount of commitment to maintain a consistent income.
First payout: One week to one month.
What to know:
- Most tutor sites require tutors to be 18 years of age or older.
- Specializing in a specific topic will help you become an expert and earn more.
- Tutor sites often take a cut of your payment or charge a fee to withdraw your earnings.
3. Sell your clothes and other belongings
Who doesn’t have a never-worn-before shirt tucked away at the back of their closet? Selling your unwanted clothes and other items is a popular way to earn extra cash each month and clear out your home at the same time.
Mobile apps like Poshmark, Etsy, and Craigslist let you upload your clothes, accessories, and other items to a personal storefront and sell them to shoppers all over the world. It’s not just limited to clothing though—consider selling ornaments, knick-knacks, and furniture on eBay or local selling sites.
Startup time: An hour or so to snap photos of your items and upload them to your chosen selling site.
Effort: A bit of effort upfront, but then the only effort required is to either maintain your “storefront” and ship items, if necessary.
First payout: Depends on how long it takes to sell your first item.
What to know:
- Most selling sites require you to take charge of shipping, which can add up after a while.
- Upload your products to multiple sites to increase their chances of selling.
- Most third-party selling apps take a cut of your profit or charge a fee for each listing.
4. Become an affiliate for your favorite products
Brand affiliates receive a unique link from a brand and get rewarded with a commission whenever someone in their network buys a product through clicking that link. Multiple brands offer an affiliate marketing program where you can sign up, get your link, and share it with your friends and family. The best part is you can get paid for recommending products you would recommend anyway.
Amazon’s affiliate program lets you add a unique code to a URL to claim back a portion of the payment if someone you know or referred buys a product (it can be any product in Amazon’s catalog), but there are also individual affiliate programs for different brands and storefronts that make it possible for you to become an affiliate for your favorite brands.
