We’ve all been tight on money from time to time, and sometimes your pay just isn’t enough. Why not look for something a little extra?
Selling your experience
If you’ve got a talent that you think you could teach to others, you might want to consider coaching people online. It’s much easier than going from client to client, and you only really have to do it once. Online coaching and classes can be pre-recorded and put up for sale on certain sites. While it might not be the most profitable income, it makes for nice passive income if your course gains popularity!
Monetize your property
A lot of the time, making money on the side doesn’t have to be hard work on your end, and you sometimes have the opportunity to make some money with what you’ve got. If you own a large amount of land, it could be viable for you to get in touch with vertical consultants about a cell tower lease. You receive money just for having a cell tower on your land. It’s ideal if you’ve got the room for it and it’s in an ideal location. Of course, the money you receive for it will vary based on your location.
Alternatively, if you have any spare rooms in your house, it might be a good idea to rent them out. Having others living with you in the same building can be an odd experience at times, but picking your tenant correctly ensures you not only bring in some extra money but can continue as normal – just with an extra person living under your roof!
Auctioning off unwanted belongings
One of the simplest and most productive ways you can make a little extra on the side is by getting rid of the things you no longer want. We’ve all got things lying around the house that don’t really get looked at or used, and there’s no real point in keeping it other than sentiment. If the only reason you want to hold onto it is that you’ve had it for a while, there’s a chance that you’ve got quite a lot of clutter around. Decluttering and making money from it is a win-win, and you could get it all done over the course of a weekend. Anything that you don’t manage to sell, you can get rid of quickly at a yard sale.
Start your own business
Starting a business is something that can vary in difficulty, and it really depends on your own personal experience and ambition with it. A very small business that’s focused on products you hand-make can be profitable, but difficult to keep up with demand once you start to gain traction. On the other hand, selling products that you’re not making requires a lot more funding. You need suppliers for that, and it’s not entirely realistic to imagine that if you’re currently looking for extra money on the side. Start small with your business, and let it work its way up. There’s nothing wrong with going at a slow pace, and it will give you time to learn how to run things.
