17 Cool Ways To Make An Extra $100 a Day

May 30, 2018

how to make an extra 100 fast

Learning to earn extra income provides a practical way to boost your finances. When handled properly, the extra effort can change your life for the better by allowing you to pay off debt and set aside some funds for major purchases. In addition, you can stop relying on your paycheck only. To make an extra $100 every day fast, you need to consider how you are using your free time.

If you’re a broke college student, have some huge debts that keeps piling up, or just looking to save up for your next getaway, then you’ve come to the right place.

How to Make $100 a Day

It’s not going to be easy but it’s definitely possible. I know because I’ve tried several of these methods when I was low on cash. If you’re up for the challenge, you have to put in the work and I suggest you try a number of these methods to hit your daily goal or and maybe even surpass it.

1. Get paid to take surveys online

Many companies are willing to pay for market insights. This helps them make informed decisions when it comes to their products and services. Online market research is a billion dollar industry that attracts businesses of varying sizes.

This gives you an opportunity to participate in focus groups and surveys based on specific demographics. Companies offer rewards for answering a number of questions that provide invaluable insights into consumer preferences, behavior and buying habits. The surveys can be conducted either online or via email. Many organizations prefer email and online surveys than snail mail surveys due to the cost savings involved. Some of the most popular survey platforms include SwagBucks (free $5 sign up bonus) and Vindale Research (free $2 sign up bonus).

2. Be a Food Delivery Driver

Food delivery driving opportunities have increased significantly in the past few years thanks to the introduction of delivery apps. These jobs are ideal for anyone who prefers picking up food items than a group of strangers (ride-sharing and cab hailing).

You may be hired to deliver takeouts or groceries in various neighborhoods. This allows you to earn a substantial extra income to spend on anything you like. Some of the food delivery driving options are available via Uber Eats, Shipt Shopper, Door Dash, PostMates and GrubHub. Uber Eats operates in all parts of the United States and offers flexible food-delivery opportunities.

3. Rent out your home

Companies like Airbnb provides a simple way to earn some cash renting out your property. The most popular properties are located close to attractions, shopping districts and other places of interest.

With Airbnb, the majority of the renters are tourists visiting the area looking to enjoy convenient accommodation settings. The most popular homes are situated in a charming neighborhood or a big city.

4. Drive People Around

become a driver

Earning a substantial amount of money with your car is now easier than ever thanks to mobile applications. Whether you have a new or used vehicle, you can boost your income via driver services like HopSkipDrive, Lyft and Uber.

Uber is a well-known service that operates in more than 80 countries. It offers more options, which boosts flexibility for drivers. You can make more during peak hours and accept or decline rides based on specific passenger information.

5. Sell your stuff

You can make an extra $100 by selling your stuff online via classifieds like Craiglist or e-commerce, such as eBay. Alternatively, you can offer the goods via a garage sale or the Gone App. The later provides a more convenient way to get rid of personal belongings.

The platform allows you to upload pictures of your items and a customer service agent will make you an offer depending on the condition of the goods. If you agree to sell, the agent will dispatch a box and a shipping label or a van (applies to Austin and San Francisco only).

You should start by making a list of items that you no longer need. The list can include tools, bedding, appliances, electronics, clothes, books, gaming devices and more.

6. Test websites

Many platforms provide an opportunity to make a quick buck by testing websites. These testing websites are great for people who loves leaving reviews and opinions and on new products, ads and websites.

You are paid to evaluate and provide valid feedback on the functionality of a website. In some cases, the testing platforms pay according to the number of bugs you find while some pay a flat fee for all testers. Some of the well-known testing sites include Usertesting, Userfeel and Utest. You will find it easier to make $30 per hour on a number of platforms.

7. Do small tasks for others

get paid to do small tasks

Micro-tasking is a viable option for generating extra income in your spare time. This allows you to save some funds to cover an outstanding debt or a vacation. The majority of the tasks can be completed in minutes, which makes it easier to handle multiple tasks and earn more money. People who live busy lives don’t always have the time to run simple errands or do chore-like tasks.

If you don’t mind running errands for others, than this money-making opportunity can be a very profitable side gig. It provides flexibility because you can work from anywhere at any time. In addition, you are allowed to choose the tasks that match your skills or tasks you find interesting.

These simple tasks can range from putting together furniture to picking up groceries.

The best sites are:

  • Task Rabbit
  • Thumbtack
  • GigWalk

8. Create an online course

The online education industry is booming thanks to the cost savings benefits for students. According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc., the value of this industry is set to exceed $240 billion by 2021. This creates an opportunity for anyone with highly sought-after skills.

From cooking lessons and English grammar to programming, the range of opportunities is diverse. You can publish lessons by uploading videos or e-books. In most cases, you do not need to submit any professional certifications to validate your skills.

The best ones are:

  • Teachable
  • Skillshare
  • Thinkific

9. Sell your photos

Stock photos are in high demand thanks to the growth of e-commerce and general online activity. This creates an opportunity for both professional and semi-experienced photographers. A single photo can earn you money several times via non-exclusive licenses. Some of the leading stock photography platforms to sell your photos include Shutterstock, Alamy, Adobe Stock, Stocksy, and iStock Photo.

Photographers receive a commission for images posted on the platforms. Over time, this passive income can accumulate based on the number of overall sales. It is possible to earn up to $500 per month.

10. Become a writer

Freelance writing is a practical option that enables you to make an extra $100 with ease. Native writers and highly qualified individuals typically find it easier to earn more in this competitive industry.

You can write for blogs, content writing agencies or work directly with customers. You can find freelance writing gigs by joining sites like Upwork, Fiverr, and Peopleperhour.

Print and digital magazines are always looking for pitches from guest writers. If your article is accepted and published, you can receive up to $500. Beyond Your Blog is a great resource to find paid writing opportunities.

11. Teach English online

Teaching English online allows you to share your knowledge with non-natives from around the world. An increasing number of companies now provide platforms that bring together English tutors and students. On average, you can earn between $10 and $30 an hour. Although some platforms require professional certifications, it is possible to find sites that accept all tutors.

Some of the platforms that hire English tutors include iTalki, VIP Kid, Qkids, Verbal Planet and English Hunt. VIP Kid gives you an opportunity to work with Chinese students. It’s rated in the top 5 of Forbes best remote companies to work for list and they’re currently hiring. You are required to have a college degree, a year of teaching experience (tutoring, traditional education or mentoring) and reside in Canada or the United States.

12. Clean out your closet

You can sell your clothing online or offline and earn an extra $100 with ease. If you are not keen on selling the items via a yard sale, you should consider using online platforms like Craiglist, Poshmark, Threadup and eBay. Poshmark is a mobile application designed to help you sell clothing items in a more convenient way. You need to simply download the app and upload pictures of the clothes, post a brief description and the price.

Some brick and mortar shops are willing to buy quality, used clothes. These include Clothes Mentor and Uptown Cheapskate. Alternatively, consider donating the items to qualifying charities to benefit from a tax write-off. The money you save on taxes will help boost your budget.

13. Get paid to listen to music

By joining sites like Music Xray, Research FM and Slice the Pie, you can earn money for listening to new music released by artists from around the world. The service helps artists determine the popularity of the new releases. In turn, the artists can make changes or proceed to release the productions in the public domain.

As a member of the platforms, you rate music based on a number of variables. You get the opportunity to listen to new music and influence future releases. Your contribution can help shape the careers of the artists. A number of artists with amazing talent haven been discovered via these sites. Payment methods for raters include PayPal, virtual debit cards and Amazon gift card.

14. Become a virtual assistant

Becoming a virtual assistant (VA) is a viable option that allows you to boost your income. You can apply for VA positions online depending on your location. The majority of agencies that hire virtual assistants are based in the United States. A number of factors determine your hourly earnings and these include experience and qualifications.

The application process can involve a typing test and successful candidates may be required to demonstrate typing speeds of 90 words per minute (wpm). In addition, you should have access to fast broadband internet, a desktop or laptop that meets specific system requirements.

Additional skills requirements include a knowledge of content creation, social media management, data entry, keyword research, transcription, image editing and invoicing.

If you want to learn more about becoming a virtual assistant, I highly recommend checking out Gina’s tips here. Gina started a successful VA business as a side gig and within 6 months, she was making $4000 a month while working full-time. She can show you how to do the same in 30 days or less by clicking here!

15. Get Paid for Searching the Web

Smaller search engines offer rewards for using their platforms. These incentives are aimed at gaining a competitive advantage against prominent players like Google, which enjoys a lion’s share of the search market. Swagbucks is one of the smaller search engines that not only rewards you for searching but also participating in surveys, shopping and watching videos.

With Permission Research, you are required to download a software that tracks your online activities. The service is designed to help businesses gain insights on how internet users interact with digital content. Microsoft Rewards is a program aimed at promoting Microsoft’s Bing search engine, which is struggling to compete against Google. When you join, you will earn points that can be redeemed via an Amazon gift card.

16. Start a Blog

Blogs are popular because they are informal and more personal. You can earn from your blog, particularly if you have gained a good following. It will take a while to get your blog to make money but if you truly enjoy what you are doing, it will be worth the effort. I currently make between $6000-$10,000 a month (see my latest income report here) from blogging but it didn’t happen overnight.

Luckily, starting a blog is relatively easy thanks to blogging platforms such as WordPress that come with tons of plugins and features as well as support diverse programming languages. You can create your own blog here with my easy-to-use tutorial. You can start your blog for as low as $3.95 a month and you’ll get a free domain if you sign up through my tutorial. I have a free blogging course you can join too that will help you start and launch a successful blog!

17. Become a secret shopper

Mystery shopping allows you to embark on a shopping trip with the aim to evaluate the experience. The work is relatively easy and you can earn $100 without sweating. For instance, Coyle Hospitality gives you an opportunity to evaluate businesses involved in the hospitality sector, Some of the assignments involve evaluating hotels, restaurants and spa outlets around the world. The assignments typically pay a flat fee in addition to reimbursable expenses.

The best ones are:

  • Intelli-Shop
  • Market Force
  • Best Mark
