6 Ways to Make Money while Stuck at Home

Although you won’t make as much money as you did at your job, there are ways you can make money at home while you’re bored out of your mind.

Keep reading to find out 6 ways to make money while stuck at home.

What we will cover:

1. Fivver

Fiverr is an online marketplace where you can buy or sell services. If you’re telling yourself there are no services you could possibly offer, think again. You create services called gigs. Trust me, there is a gig out there that you can sell. Some interesting ones I have seen include pretending to be a boyfriend or girlfriend through texting and creating tinder profiles.

Go to Fivver, sign up, and browse through the gigs to get some ideas for services you can sell. Some common ones are graphic design, proofreading, writing blog posts, and even coaching someone in video games.

After you sign up, you create a gig. Keep in mind, you can create several. Add your profile picture, a description, and a title and description for your gig. Remember to use keywords so your gig gets seen!

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money. Affiliate marketing is when you promote a product and earn a commission. It is helpful to have a blog to promote affiliate products, but you can totally do it without a blog!

If you want to promote affiliate products without a blog, simply post on Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest with your affiliate links. Be careful that you do it in a way to not come off as spam and get banned. Carefully read the social media’s guidelines before posting. As of last year, Pinterest allows you to post direct links.

If you want to promote affiliate products by creating a blog, simply click here to learn how to start a blog! To start, you can sign up with Bluehost for only $3.95 per month (that’s like one Starbucks drink per month), install WordPress, and you’re on your way!

Some of the best affiliate programs for beginners are:

Clickbank- It’s super quick to sign up and start promoting products in any niche. You do not have to have a certain amount of viewers or followers to get started. If you want to make more money even fast, consider taking the Clickbank University course.

Flexoffers– Also perfect for beginners. Sign up, find companies you want to promote, and start earning money!

3. Transcription

There are numerous websites where you can sign up to transcribe audio. These sites pay per audio minute, and the amount paid varies between projects and sites. I use Rev, but there are other websites such as Scribie, Transcribeme, and even Fiverr.

When I signed up for Rev, I took a test to see how accurate I was, and I literally started working the next day. This is perfect for people who are looking for ways to make money fast.

4. Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk is similar to Fivver in that it is a marketplace where you can complete tasks for money. This is one of the best ways to make money while stuck at home. However, you do have to be approved for this. Click on the link to sign up and you will receive an email about whether you qualified.

5. Online Surveys

Although they do not pay a lot, you can make extra money online by taking surveys. My personal favorites are:

6. Search Engine Evaluator or Ad Evaluator

This is my personal favorite because I have been doing this for months. I make around $250 per month only working one hour per day. How crazy is that? I work for Appen. I spend one hour per day rating ads on social media, and I love it! It is one of the most consistent and best ways to make money online.

I hope these 6 ways to make money while stuck at home were helpful. Stay safe!
