How to make money online
9 ideas that will pay for your internet connection
Even though there are many deceptions, it is doable earn money on internet. Let's take a look at some methods that you may not have known about.
How to make money online
1. Give your opinion and get paid for it: paid surveys
As the name implies, this method is about answer surveys or interviews online in exchange for money.
Regularly, for each successful survey you carry out, you will receive some points that you will accumulate and you will be able to later exchange for money (generally via PayPal), gift checks or vouchers. You earn between 50 cents and 3 euros for each survey you answer, and that can take up to 25 minutes. Apparently, you are not going to get rich just answering surveys, but it is a way to get some extra income per month.
In Spain These are some paid survey websites that pay the best:
- Toluna: An attractive interface and with fun surveys. You can select payment through vouchers to use them in different online stores, MasterCard prepaid cards or money via PayPal (in some countries).
- LifePoints: They carry out surveys online and also by phone (if you prefer). You can exchange the accumulated points for money via PayPal, or for vouchers to redeem in online stores or you can make donations (UNICEF). Available in Spain and in some Latin American countries.
- i-Say: Another one of my favorite survey pages. Wide variety of surveys and prize drawings. Also on this page you will be able to receive payments via PayPal.
I have made a list of the paid survey pages in Spain that I use, all of them are reliable and accessible at no cost.
In this post you will find other alternatives to earn money if you are in Spain.
Do you live in Latin America? 🌎
Here are some links so that you can go directly to the paid survey pages and you can register today:
If you are in Mexico: Toluna MX, you can also try LifePoints Mexico. Do you want more ideas? So, read this post 😉
You are in Argentina: Also try Toluna AR or LifePoints AR is for you.
In Colombia: you can also find Toluna CO and LifePoints.
For my Ecuadorian compatriots and all the other Latin American countries, I'm sorry I don't have direct links 🙁…. But do not be angry, you can also register 😉 only that you have to verify on the web that your country is available when you fill in your data.
At the same time, in this Tu Dinerito post, you will find a list of paid survey pages for LATAM, based on the experience of the readers of this blog (and in this way I imagine that this list is very accurate).
For all:
- Another website that I really like and that is available in several countries is Gift Hunter Club, you can earn money with surveys, watching videos, completing tasks, listening to the radio, etc ... At the same time it has a very cool interface!
- In Ysense (Before Clixsense) before you could earn money mainly by watching advertisements but now the most interesting sections are: surveys and tasks. This website is in English, but both the surveys and the tasks are in Spanish. If you are not comfortable with David Beckham's language, you can always read this SUPER extensive guide from Gustavo who explains all the details of Clixsense. Available from anywhere in the world.
Do you intend to register on a page that does not accept users in your country? Maybe I have the answer. Or rather, Alejo has it, from the blog Piratacoins: he tells you in this post how you earn money with surveys despite living in Venezuela.
You will find more information and more recommended pages about this dynamic of making money in my post on the paid surveys
2. Earn money every time… you spend it. That's the cashback
Cashback basically consists of the return of a part of the value of your purchases made online. To do this, you have to sign up for a cashback web portal, for example: Beruby, and install the shopping bar in your Internet browser.
So, when you make your purchase (there are more than 500 stores available), for example in Kiabi or Zalando, even when you make a reservation in Booking; an amount will automatically be added to your balance in your Beruby account. The amount returned depends on the store where you make the purchase or where you book your trip, they can go from 3% to 30%.
Among the related companies (for purchases and travel), you will be able to find: Fnac, Zalando, Telepizza, Kiabi, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Disneyland, Iberia ...
In Beruby you will also be able to find other ways to earn money: visit web pages, take surveys, charge to register on other websites or watch videos.
Today is your lucky day: Beruby is available at Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Chile (sign up for free here). Sign up and start benefiting from all your online purchases you make. 🙂
There is also a similar and quite good website, but it is only available in Spain, it is called Aklamio. I have discovered it through the excellent Monetized blog, where it describes very well what Aklamio is.
Are you interested in knowing about the cashback? So, read this post 🙂
3. Read some advertising emails
It's pretty easy to guess how this method works, right? Basically you have to ... read some emails. As simple as that. Well, most of those emails lead you to visit a website or to sign up for an offer, as a condition of receiving compensation.
With this you are not going to get rich either, but if you are going to be able to earn a few extra euros per month. These websites in particular pay a few cents for each email you read.
These are some pages that allow you to earn money with this method, the operation is similar in all:
- ConSuPermiso: You receive points for each click, registration or application download that you make, and you will also be able to exchange it for money. Available in Spain and Mexico.
Clickxti(Pages already closed): You have to register and you will start receiving emails with commercial promotion. You will earn points when you click on the emails, it is the way to check that you have read the email; then you will be able to exchange the accumulated points for money. Available worldwide.Sumaclicks(Pages already closed): I did not know her and I found her in a DineroBits post. It looks pretty cool, it pays well, it has a cell phone app and is available worldwide.
I tell you more details about these and other pages to earn money reading emails, in this post.
4. For once the commercial promotion pays you (and does not make you spend)
Did you think that commercial promotion was just to spend your money buying things? And if I told you that watching commercial promotion ads you can get some money… .. would you call me crazy?
No, I'm not crazy. There are online companies that pay you to view ads. Well, they actually pay you to click on these ads. Regularly, they give you between 0.001 euros and 0.1 euros for each click.
Okay, I know it's not much, and it's definitely not very tempting to be clicking every so often on ads that don't matter much to us ...
PEEEERO the good thing is that it is free, you do not need special knowledge and you can start ... now! Of course, you have to be patient, be constant and understand that it will not give you much ... maximum 10 euros per month for each web portal where you have registered.
If this method appeals to you, I have a tip: sign up for several pages of this type, you will also multiply your income!
Here is the best known website:
Be careful, you will see many testimonials from people who earn a lot of money with these websites, the truth is that they earn a lot because they recruit many referrals. Not because they spend 37 hours a day watching ads.
Read this post to know the 10 best pages to earn money watching ads.
5. Upload your videos on Youtube
Among the most famous spanish youtubers They are: elrubiusOMG or YellowMellowMG. These young people have become known through their channels in Youtube.
The first known mainly for making videos of gameplays and jokes, it has more than 16 million followers; and the second, due to its charisma and its variety of content, it has more than 1 million followers. (number of followers at the time of writing this post)
Possibly you already know that if you add commercial promotion to these videos, on average YouTube pays 1 euro for every 1000 views… And of course, you can make a really good income, as some people have already done. But this is not the only way to monetize your YouTube channel, there are others such as product promotion or affiliation. Alternatives to monetize a YouTube channel, in this post I tell you what they are.
Now, if making people laugh isn't your strong suit, avoid worrying. There are hundreds even hundreds of people who may be trying to make videos and generate traffic, with videos of: makeup, hairstyles, cooking, Marketing tips, dances, etc.
The good news is that this can work from anywhere and you can go viral wherever you live. Look at those of En PlugTV: they are Ecuadorians, they have more than 12 million followers ... almost the entire country.
So create an account on YouTube and start uploading your videos to earn money online. 😉

6. Become podcaster
If your thing is not to put yourself in front of a camera, you may like this idea more: be “podcaster"
The main advantage of podcasts is that they can be listened to anytime and anywhere, which is why they are becoming more and more successful.
Like YouTube channels, in the world of podcasts there are countless themes. And the cost to start can be from zero euros to what you want to spend on a more professional material. The most important thing if you decide to create podcasts is the choice of the theme because this is how you will create your community.
Now I do show you how to make money being a podcaster, with advertisers who want to promote you on your podcast and also talking about your own products or services. That is why, the more specialized the subject, the more potential clients you will have among your listeners.
If this idea interests you, I suggest you read this post from El País: how to become a podcaster from scratch.
7. Become an influencer on Instagram
As you know, Instagram is the social network that has the most users. Do you also have an account? Are you interested in knowing how to earn money with this application?
Before answering you, you have to know that there is a condition: having a large number of followers in your account.
There are different alternatives to earn money on Instagram but one of the most recognized is sponsored publications, brands will pay you to publish a photo with any of their products. These publications can also be videos or stories.
Among other things, the prices of the publications will depend on the number of followers you have. But to give you an idea you can earn from one hundred euros to figures of 5 zeros!
In this post I tell you more about how to make money on Instagram
8. Play your good poker cards (online or live)
As incredible as it may sound, but it is possible to earn a living thanks to poker and other games of chance. It is not very common but many do it and have quite a success.
On the Internet, you have many options to play online poker, one of the most recognized in Spain is 888Casino.
From other countries, it is also feasible, it is actually easier than in Spain since there are fewer restrictions.
Yes it is possible to make money playing poker
If you are thinking of trying this method to get extra money, I suggest you read these tips so that you learn how to win at the casino ... or at least not lose all your money.
9. Bet on sports (and no, it's not just football)
Many think that poker is a game of chance and do not imagine that there are people who make money from it. Well, the same thing happens with sports betting.
Even though it is not a game of chance, most people think that it is very difficult to make money by gambling. It is true that it is not easy but there are tricks to make money in the long term - and there are people who make a living from it.
You do not believe me?
According to the newspaper ABC, only 3 or 4% of those who bet win some money, and we are not talking about a lot of money ... but there are also experts (they are called tipsters) who offer profits from 20%, and that is very high ... Imagine a deposit in a bank that gives you 200 euros for every 1000 euros you deposit 😉
If you want to launch, I suggest you do a lot of research on the subject, as there are many scams and people who claim to win money because they have won 65% of their last bets (and this data in itself does not mean anything ...). If you are going to follow a professional, I advise you to follow one that offers evidence of their earnings ... and that has been earning for more than 1 year.
Anyway, if you want to know more about the subject, I advise you to read this huge post from PoissonPicks, a tipster who explains the keys to getting started in the world of sports betting. At the same time, Iván (it's his name) has earnings since July 2015.
Ah, I almost forgot. You can bet from any country, for example WilliamHill, Sportium or Bwin seem to be open to users from all Spanish-speaking countries.
And if you are still not entirely sure or sure, I will tell you how thanks to the bets I have won more than 500 euros! Click here for more details, and find out how you can also earn at least 400 euros.
10. Play for free and win money
Do you like internet games? Then this idea is for you.
The idea is that you have fun playing and thus spend more time on the web so that they can show you more ads, since this is the way the web is financed.
Many of these pages offer free games, but in some cases you also have to buy to take a step forward in the game.
One of the most profitable and reliable platforms on the market is MarketGlory
If you want to know more, I suggest you read this post.
11. Evaluate some websites
Another trick to earn money is the evaluation of web pages. They are simply going to pay you for test web pages.
You will have to visit a site, navigate, see if it is easy to use and find the information you need. For this, it is only necessary that you have a microphone (and sometimes a webcam), that is to hear and see your reactions when you browse the web page.
Now you are going to ask me where you can sign up? Well I'm going to answer you, that I'm so crazy today.
There are several websites (some I did not know and I found them on the blog Currency to Currency) : UserTesting, ErliBird, Uxline and others ... The good thing about Uxline is that it is in Spanish, but if you also speak English, I suggest you sign up for the first two.
In general, each test takes about 20 minutes, and for them they usually pay you about 10 euros (by Paypal). Apparently, there are many people signed up on these web pages, and you will not get tests every hour (or every day, possibly) but it is a good trick to earn some extra money. According the blog El RecaudadorThere are not many evaluation tests on the Uxline platform as an example.
As it consists of online earnings, this method has no restriction depending on where you live, so you can sign up From anywhere. The only thing, as with many other web pages, you need to have an approved Paypal account.
12. Solve captchas in your spare time
Possibly you have come across captchas when you tried to enter a page, they usually ask for it to confirm that you are not a robot.
Without realizing it, you have already solved several and they have not paid you for it. So how do you make money solving captchas?
The first thing you have to know is that you are not going to get rich with this type of activity. I wish everything was so simple in life!
There are pages specialized in showing captchas to their users so that they can solve them and for that they receive a payment. These pages sell the resolved captchas to companies so that they can use them on their websites as a requirement for their users to access.
If you are interested in this method you can use the web 2Captcha
13. Make money shortening URL's
This method is quite easy and will allow you to get a few income.
How to earn money with this method?
The first thing you will have to do is register in one of these shortener websites, in it you will find a space where you can write the URL you want to shorten, and the website will generate a new shorter URL.
Every time a person clicks on the shortened URL, an ad will be displayed for a few seconds, after 5 or 10 seconds they will have to click on the message "go to the desired page" (or similar).
These ads are not there by chance, but because some advertisers have paid the shortener page to show them, and at the same time this page pays you a part to see them. So, the more times the ad is seen, or in other words the more visits the shortened page receives, the more money you will receive in return.
The most recognized page, where you can earn money shortening URLs is adf.ly
My advice is that you share your shortened URLs on social networks to have more visits 😉
14. Sell merchandise ... without having stock
Have you heard of dropshipping ? For my part, I had already heard this word for a long time but without knowing what it was about. Well, today I investigated and thanks to José Lirón's post about Create Virtual Store, I have already found out and I think it is a good way to earn money.
Straight to the point.
Dropshipping is a retail where you, the salesperson, are in charge of finding the customers, but you do not own the merchandise. It is the distributor who has the merchandise and who delivers it to the customer. Thus, you do not have to manage stock, you do not need to bother with shipping and return issues, and you do not have to invest in merchandise that you may never sell.
Which means that this type of business works from any country.
Yes indeed : you need an online store.
So said, it seems easy, but obviously it is not. You have to find a good product, reliable and quality suppliers (and if they are cheap, the better) and attract customers to buy your products. The good news is that it can be quite a business passive. Once you have set up your online store and receive traffic, you do not have to do anything to market - and you will receive a percentage of the sales.
If you are interested, I suggest you read the post that I have commented before, it is very complete. In addition, this post by José Facchin has a lot of information: (* 60 *) http://josefacchin.com/dropshipping-que-es/.

How to earn money the classic way
Some classic methods that you already knew, but from time to time we forget the most obvious.
Oh how cute! Don't you want to be a babysitter?
In this section, we are going to see how to make money with the so-called classical methods. Perhaps you already know them or have found them on other websites that also explain how to earn money. No surprise, secure and often proven income.
15. Share your knowledge or your talent
Do you like to do crafts? Are you good at languages? Or maybe your thing is to dance salsa? Or maybe, is it you who everyone calls when they have PC problems?
So why not take a course? It's a pretty simple way to earn money through knowledge, hobby or passion, and the demand is quite high.
There are several web pages that allow you to register and propose your knowledge. The best known among them is Superprof, where you can select from more than 450 subjects to give private lessons and there are 20,000 registered students. It is available in Spain, in Mexico and in USA.
You can reach earn between 10 and 30 euros per hour, depending on the course and level.
Now you are thinking ... No but, I can't teach anything… You have to know that we all have something to teach, share with others, and that can be knowledge or an aptitude. Yes, really. And there is possibly someone not far from where you are who needs to learn it, don't you believe me? You can take a look at the website of Superprof and see that there are several profiles.
And if you do not reside in Spain, avoid worrying. There are other solutions, such as word of mouth, the bulletin board, or websites like Mercado Libre. There is also the website of Your Private Classes, available in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Spain, Peru, Mexico.
I have prepared a post where I talk to you in more detail about making money by giving private lessons. You should read it 🙂
16. Take care of your neighbors' children
If you like children and you know how to deal with them, this can be a good way to earn a few extra euros a month. Even though, in general, it is aimed more at young girls, I am sure that an adult could assert their experience.
One of the main advantages of babysitter is that once the children sleep, you can allow yourself to do something else: watch TV, write a post for your blog, study for your next exam.
There are many websites to find parents looking for a babysitter. In Spain you can use the following pages: Babysitter Spain and Kangaroo at home. In Mexico, the web Nidmi it seems reliable and quite popular. No matter the country, any classified ad website can help you publish your services.
Babysitters in general they earn between 7 and 10 euros net per hour.
17. Sell objects or clothes that you do not use
Open up any closet in your house, and I bet most of what you're going to find are things that you haven't used in the last 6 months. Don't you think it's time to clean up and get rid of what you don't use and it's just there collecting dust?
Market your clothes, those gadgets or objects that you no longer use, is a good way to get a few extra euros.
Can be anything:
- Furniture
- Clothes and accessories
- Books and cd's
- Small appliances
- Crockery
- Toys that your children no longer use
You have several options where you can sell them: flea market or rakes in your city, solidarity markets; you can also market on different websites without leaving your home:
Meet many other pages to market things online, available in Spain and Latin America.
For me, it is one of the best ways to earn extra money, because you can visit your house right now, look for these things that you no longer use, take one or two photos, upload them to one of these websites that I just told you about ... and let's go , in 30 minutes, it's on sale. And maybe in 2 hours you get your first sale.
And if you really can't sell, or you prefer to donate, you can also do it at: Nolotiro.
Are you interested in knowing more? In this post I tell you how and where market used clothing.
Do you intend to publish your ad now? That's great! Don't forget to read these tips to make an irresistible ad.
18. Participate in market studies
If you like test new products that are released on the market, if you think you have a good sense of smell and a good palate and above all you want the manufacturers to take your opinion into account, you will like this.
Have you heard of the consumer panels?
They are simply centers that are responsible for collecting consumer information (tastes, consumer preferences, brand perception, etc.) about a product (food, beverages, cosmetics, etc.).
The operation is simple, you create your profile with information on your tastes and your shopping preferences (the more detailed the information, the more opportunities you have to participate in studies). According to your profile, they will send you invitations to studies or tastings of different products before they go on the market.
It consists of giving your opinion regarding taste or presentation (it depends on the product) and in return you will receive cash or points that you will be able to exchange for gift vouchers.
Some studies are done at the centers and others at home, you receive the samples and have to fill out questionnaires and / or actively participate in the commercial promotion campaign of the product.
A page that I find very funny and that allows you participate in market research from your own home it's Nielsen. Once you have registered, they will send a portable scanner to your home and every time you make the purchase you have to pass the products through this scanner and you will accumulate points. You can exchange points for gifts 😃.
This Nielsen campaign is very simple! Valid only for users in Spain. If you want to know more, here you can see more information.
Here are other websites where you will be able to register: Consumptionlab or Panelsilliker. These websites only accept people in Spain.
And if you want to know more, I have written two detailed posts, one about consumer panels and another about trying products for free from home.
19. Have a job
Seriously? Are you serious? ... how original !!... is what you are thinking, right?
Apparently, having a job is still the most effective way to earn money. If you think that reading paid emails or taking surveys can give you something similar to a minimum salary, you are wrong. Only a few do.
It is for this reason that I suggest you have a job in the first place. I know that some of you may be unemployed and do not have more than this, while others are probably not of legal age to have a job. But being a salaried employee gives you a certain financial security that cannot be neglected.
At the time of writing (March 2016), the minimum interprofessional salary in Spain is 655.20 euros per month in 14 payments, which is equivalent to 21.84 euros per calendar day.

How to earn money with your skills?
Do you have a talent? Well, you have money then.
Do you know how to play an instrument? Teach it to others.
Yes, your talent can make you money. Do you have a beautiful voice, do you like to paint, do you speak several languages? Everything can be used. 🙂 Actually I give you more details in this post, but here is a preview.
20. Sing, dance, draw ...
Several web pages allow you to market your services for € 5 or 5 $. Think of the phrase "For 5$, I'm going to ..." and add what you can do for that money.
Any ideas:
- For 5 $, I'm going to sing Happy Birthday dressed as a Smurf.
- For 5 $, I am going to tell all my Facebook friends about your website.
- For 5 $, I'm going to draw a cartoon for Valentine's Day.
- For 5 $, I'm going to design your company logo.
Avoid worrying. If your service is worth more than € 5, there are also options to add what they call "extras".
Fiverr is the best known website for it. It has achieved great success on the other side of the pond, and now its Spanish version contains many offers (even though many of them are still in English) ... and of course, it is a bit difficult to point out among so many people offering their services. That is why, do not hesitate to be original.
21. Create, knit, paint ...
If you like knitting, ceramics or personalized t-shirts, why not take the opportunity to combine a hobby with a salary? On the Internet, many web pages help you market your creations To the whole world. Whether we are talking about your paintings, scarves that you have knitted or jewelry that you have made yourself, there is no limit.
Even if it is hard to believe, there are many people who will be willing to pay 40 euros for a handmade scarf. My cousin in Ecuador paints some very beautiful pictures and thanks to the magic of the Internet (and the ArtFinder) has managed to market some of them on its website.
Among the most common platforms we find:
- Etsy: The world leader (it is a platform founded in the United States), so it allows you to market your creations all over the world.
- Ezebee: Also for worldwide sales.
- You sure know Amazon, right? a few months ago he opened his category Handmade (handmade), where you will also be able to market crafts, with the support of the leader in internet sales.
At the same time in this post I share with you 27 craft ideas that you could make to market.
eye! If you do not have your own creations and you are interested in doing manual work at home for companies, I suggest you read this post.
22. Restore old furniture and abandoned wood ...
Lately it is very fashionable and very cool to have some old furniture at home, or have restored a piece of furniture based on pallets. I actually have a friend who goes crazy with pallets. Sure, not crazy to buy them, but to find them on the street.
So, how about looking for some pallets yourself on the street, on construction sites, in buildings under renovation; restore and sell them. You can sand them at home and paint them to give them a new life. People will fight to buy them in Segunda Mano, Mercado Libre, Wallapop or in Vibbo.
It also works with any type of furniture that is a bit old. With a little sandpaper, ink and a sense of craftsmanship, it will not cost you to buy or find some used furniture and fix it to sell it at a good price.
This idea would not have occurred to me without the help of this post from Ana's Aubreyandme blog, and then I was researching to see more details. So thank you Ana!
23. Write for a newspaper or a website.
If you like to always carry a paper and pencil (or pen) with you and write, you can make this passion another source of income each month. In case you didn't know, many blogs or newspapers are looking for people capable of write with good style and good spelling.
Even though you can directly contact some blogs and propose your services to them, the simplest thing is still going through the platforms that group offers and demands, as an example: TextMaster, which works from any Spanish-speaking country, as well as the Freelancer website, where you will be able to propose any type of freelance job (And at the same time it is available in several Latin American countries, if you go to the bottom of the page you will be able to select your location).
In spite of everything, I want to comment on two drawbacks that I have observed: sometimes the competition is huge and you can find many people willing to write a 500-word post for only € 5. On the other hand, sometimes you will be forced to write about topics that you are not passionate about or that you do not know, and this is not exactly very entertaining.
If you want to know more, I'll tell you here how you can earn money writing.
24. Offer online therapies
Thanks to the internet and tools such as Skype or Hangout, we can connect with anyone in the world, be it our friends, our family, we can even attend a work meeting on the other side of the world.
If you are a professional in Psychology or Coaching, you could offer online therapies. Even if you already have a physical consultation, it is a good way to reach more clients and get extra income.
25. Do you like programming? Develop cell phone applications
Ok, this idea is for professionals only. But I had to mention it because this profession is the future!
The cell phone has become a tool in our day to day, whether to communicate, to be informed, to manage our money, to pay, etc ... We do many of these things with applications.
And how do you earn money? There are several ways: selling the application, with commercial promotion within the application, or also offering a Premium version to users.
At the same time this profession can be done from anywhere on the planet!
26. Be the new Stephen King
Attention, we move to another category. If you love science fiction or have knowledge you can share, why not write a novel or one electronic guide y publicarla en la plataforma de Kindle de Amazon?
This type of activity is not available to everyone, but whoever does it can get good results. Some people have even made a big deal out of this.
Think about it: once your book is written and available on the Amazon website, anyone can go into it and buy it. You only have to look at the money that is going to arrive. Well, okay, it's a bit of an exaggeration, it will take a good book and a good promotion, but it is an increasingly common way to get rid of publishers and publish your own content.
Kindle books are sold for between 2 and 10 euros.
Amazon is available in the following Spanish-speaking countries: Spain and Mexico, but you can publish an ebook even if you don't live in these two countries.
If you are interested in this idea, I suggest a very good one blog guide PublishingEbooks. You will find it here, and it has everything: taxation, promotional tools, some tutorials to upload your book and put it on paper ...
27. Do you speak english? Your parles français?
Et oui!
Yes You speak several languages, he can give you some money. You would be surprised by all the translation possibilities that exist. Many people and companies seek to translate their texts, web pages, brochures, labels ...
As an example, in the coworking space where I work, I just spoke (by chance) with a freelance translator: this morning I had just translated a shampoo label into another language.
Without going any further and being so technical, you can also find some well paid translation jobs. Payment is usually by number of words of the source language. As an example in TextMaster they propose you € 6 for 100 words translated.
Apparently, if your favorite language is Spanish, I advise you to do translations from other languages into Spanish : it is much simpler, you will do it more quickly and then you will earn more money per hour. Awesome, right?
There are agencies that are looking for translators, and you can also find possibilities on the Internet, for example on the TextMaster and Freelancer websites that I already mentioned, which are accessible from almost anywhere in the world. Also, a good place to look for possibilities was Nubelo, which was acquired by Freelancer at the beginning of December, so don't be surprised if the link takes you to the Freelancer website.
And remember ... there are people who make a living from it. Maybe your future job?
28. Cook your best dish (or not)
Did you know that this is feasible? You can cook directly for other people, and get paid for it. This is called Collaborative Kitchen, or between individuals, and is in full growth, especially thanks to websites such as: Plate share o Eatwith, ambas disponibles en España y varios países de Latinoamérica.
29. Sign up as a freelance
You already saw it with the writing and the translation: you can sign up and propose your services online. In general, today many people are hired via the Internet for many types of digital jobs, and not only writing and translation but also:
- Logo design
- Video montage
- Create a blog
- Web development
- Cell phone development
- Digital marketing
- Business services (HR, accounting ...)
- Virtual assistants
- …
In the excellent blog Ants in the Cloud, Javier Gobea gives you 50 concrete ideas that you can propose. And it has caused this list in 30 minutes ...
I already tell you: there is everything, or almost everything. And the biggest advantage is that you can work from home or from anywhere in the world. At the same time, there many pages that I already comment on you and where you can sign up:
- TextMaster (in Spanish, and more for writing or translation work)
- Freelancer (has its own website in several countries, and it is in Spanish)
- Nubelo (absolutely in Spanish)
- Upwork (in English, but probably the most popular in the world).
I wanted to find an Upwork guide in Spanish and I found it on Karen Quintero's excellent blog, Mi Vida Freelance, at this post. At the same time, also in this blog I found a list of alternative alternatives where to advertise your service as a freelancer. Come on, you no longer have an excuse not to embark on an adventure 😉

How to win money with a blog
I couldn't do this post without talking about blogging!
A blog to share ideas, passions, tutorials ...
It is not the simplest way, but more and more people in the world live from their blogs. There are many candidates but few are chosen, and it is not necessary to receive 10,000 visits a day to achieve a good monthly income.
In general, blogs are written by passionate on a topic and who want to share their knowledge and his experience.
In my case, I have already tried several ways, recognized and less recognized, to earn money, and I love discovering new methods - that is why I created this blog, to share it with you. I have prepared a special post to tell you about the methods I use to earn money with a blog.
You can blog about anything: photography, motherhood, gardening, athletics, travel, wine, cooking, makeup ... If you have a passion, go for it. At the same time, your blog can become your source of passive income 😉
On the Internet you will be able to find millions of free resources that will help you examine your idea, create your blog and publish the first post. There are other free resources that also allow you to bring more visits to your blog and start generating a little money.
For my part, these last few months, I stayed freaking with these blogs:
- My Web Positioning. Each Rubén post is filled with a lot of useful and applicable information in the next 5 minutes. As an example, he gave me the idea to sign up for the Bitácoras awards. I didn't believe it, but I signed up. And in the first partial classification, I positioned myself as 13th. Oh my god !.
- Citizen 2.0. Raquel and Berto, while being a beautiful couple, give you some posts that come from another world. It will sound exaggerated, but I look forward to each of your new entries as I look forward to the next season of Game of Thrones. That's how fan I am.
If you want to launch, I advise you to use WordPress. It is a very intuitive platform, easy to use and in less than 5 minutes you can have your own blog with a personalized theme. And of course, it is free. And it works from anywhere in the world.
If you do not know what type of blog you want to have, in this post by Andrés Anguix from the blog Living on Passive Income, he explains what they are the types of blog, the advantages and disadvantages of each.
30. Put commercial promotion on your blog
This is probably the best known method of making money from a blog. It consists of putting advertising banners on your website (Google Adsense), recommend a product that you liked a lot (for example via Aklamio that also has cashback) or redirect your visits to an advertiser's website, which will pay you a commission for each registration (this is what it proposes an affiliate service like Daysicon or Affilinet).
Eye, what you have to have quite a lot of visits to start receiving something with Google Adsense. You have to think that your income will be between 3 and 10 euros per 1000 visits, depending on your theme. At the same time, the minimum payment is 75 euros.
31. Post a sponsored post
There are many platforms that put you in contact with advertisers, who propose you to promote their products or services through your blog. You are still free from the content of the post but obviously, the idea is also to say all the advantages of the product or service in question.
32. Affiliate Marketing
This method of making money from your blog is about promoting third party products. Every time one of your readers uses your link to purchase the product, the seller will pay you a commission.
Some people create specific websites (niches) to write product reviews, comparisons and recommendations using affiliate marketing to earn income. EyeOnce your website is created, you must position it in the Google search engine so that people come to you, otherwise you will not get any commission.
The best known affiliate platform is Amazon. But there are also others like Clickbank.
Yes, this is one of the ways how I monetize my blog 🙂
33. Sell your knowledge
If you get a good following, it is because people like what you write, and because they have found a lot of valuable information.
Perhaps the time has come to "Commercialize" your knowledge. That can take many forms:
- Mount a video training where you explain in sufficient detail some solution for the most common problems of your subject.
- Propose sessions of coaching. They are sessions by Skype, of one or several hours, where you are with a person and you help this person to solve their situation, based on your knowledge and experience.
- Write a guide or a ebook related to your theme. E-books, or info products, are becoming increasingly popular in the online world - often the first product that will come to mind, as it is the easiest. At the same time, you can propose it on your blog, but also on Amazon as an example.
- Give conferences. You get together with other experts on your subject and give a course at a conference. Sometimes they will pay you for it, and especially it will help you to make yourself known ... and in this way, you will generate more sales.
Each way has its pros and cons, but all 4 will bring you money if you do it right. There are bloggers who live solely from the electronic guides that they sell on their blog.
And again, the good thing about all this is that it will work for you wherever you live. What's more, if you live in a Latin American country, it may work much better for you than if you lived in the United States or Europe. The reason? In Latin America, in general, there are fewer blogs and therefore the competition is lower. It will be easier to position yourself.
How to market your knowledge? What knowledge can I market? where? What are infoproducts?…. you are and more questions will be answered by Agustín Grau, in one of his very complete training programs where he teaches you to “create infoproducts and generate income". Get started today and use the code 123LESS30 to get a discount on the 30%. You no longer have excuses, you will see how you start to earn money with your knowledge.

Not everything is Pokemon Go in life. Your cell phone is capable of more, and your data rate also. You will discover different ways that will allow you to take advantage of the advantages of your mobile and / or your data.
Your mobile can also help you make ends meet.
34. Try mobile apps
Si eres de los que siempre está atento a las nuevas aplicaciones que van saliendo y te gusta descargárlas para probarlas en tu teléfono celular, deberías conocer una app que te va a encantar: Cashpirate (solo disponible para Android) te propone test apps on your cell phone or on your tablet, answer surveys, watch videos, invite friends, etc., in return you will receive points that you can exchange for money and at the same time you will discover apps that you would not have tried yourself.
This app is in English but it is quite easy to understand. And at the same time, it seems to work for all countries. Well, you are not going to get rich trying applications, but you will earn some money that another!
Are you interested in knowing more about this trick? Well, I have written a post about the applications to earn money, so I suggest you read it.
35. Do sports regularly
Yes yes, you read it correctly. You may earn money while doing sports. It is a concept proposed by the app Gympact (available for Android and ios): you set a series of goals, and you receive money every time you complete one of the objectives, you can log your gym visit or save a ride in RunKeeper.
Sure you are wondering, but where does the money I receive come from? Very simple, it comes from people who do not they have completed their objectives.
You will earn between 0.25 and 4 euros per week, according to the number of activities completed.
This app can be used anywhere in the world, even though it is true that it is much more used in countries such as the United States or Australia.
Did you know that there are other apps that pay you to run, walk or set the alarm? Here I tell you more.
36. Make the purchase of the week and reach missions
You can earn money doing your shopping!! You just have to download one of the applications that offers you to complete missions in stores near your home. As an example Click and Walk (available for Android and to ios) or Mobeye (also available in Android and ios) - both available only for Spain.
The concept is always the same: you go to the store, take some photos, answer a questionnaire and come back with 5 or 6 euros, according to the missions. The advantage is that these types of activities work wherever you are: large or small cities.
37. Recycle your old mobile (even with a broken screen)
It is increasingly common for telephone companies to propose you "Buy" your old phone when you go to buy another. The downside is that the prices they offer you are generally low.
But if you didn't know, there is another solution: the Smartphones recycling and tablets. Zonzoo and We bought it They propose to you in Spain to buy your old cell phone at different prices, depending on the state and model of the cell phone, you can even sell a phone that has the broken screen. On these websites you can calculate the value of your old cell phone.
It is clear that you are not going to get a lot of money, but hey, if your cell phone already only serves as a paperweight, it better give you some money, right?
And the best thing is that some of these websites will buy your cell phone even when it no longer works or if the screen is broken. Also on these websites you can market your SLR camera or your old MacBook.
38. Photograph the world, the people, your street ...
Do you also pass all the time with your cell phone making selfies and grimaces? Congratulations, you will like this solution.
Consists in market photos in image banks. These pages connect photographers (you) and companies or people who need to buy photos (to illustrate a blog, a brochure… whatever).
These pages are very simple: you sign up, upload your photos and someone buys them. The idea is not to try to sell one of your photos for 100 euros, but to sell 100 photos for 1 euro.
Apparently, your photos have to be interesting, original, good performed. They have to point out. Think that many people have had the same idea and these image banks have millions of photos. That is why I have bad news: your selfies will most likely not work.
Rather, your photos should be of nature, food, moments in life, landscapes, groups of people working ...
Do not forget to label them correctly (In other words, add a lot of information for each photo, so people can find them more easily) and that's it!
And now the million dollar question: Jimena, how much can I earn selling my photos? Well that's like everything: it depends. If you just photographed a unicorn, you still make a lot of money. It also depends on the platform where you register: some give you 50% of the sale price of your photo, others give you 0.25 or 0.30 euros. The minimum selling price of a photo is usually 50 cents or 1 euro.
The most recognized websites are: Fotolia, Shutterstock and iStockphoto. Most of you will approve first your photos ... maybe to avoid selfies 😉
If you want to know more, I suggest this SUPER GUIDE of the Photographer's Blog, here: http://www.blogdelfotografo.com/vender-fotografias-online/. There you will learn everything: the best platforms, how much they pay you, what types of photos to upload, tips to boost your photos… The truth is that the post (and the blog in general) are pretty cool.

How to make money with your car
Driving is making money.
Discover how your car will allow you to earn money
Between depreciation, repairs, and the price of fuel, a car can sometimes turn into a real one. financial burden. Luckily, it is feasible to compensate some or all of these losses thanks to the following methods with which you can profit from your car.
39. Share your trips with more people. And don't travel alone!
Very popular on the Internet, share trips it is an activity that hundreds of people do every week. Some for not being alone in their cars, others for meeting new people, and others at the same time to make a little extra money.
The idea is simple. Instead of traveling alone on a regular commute, why not do it with other people? This in exchange for a few euros that you will get back fuel or toll charges, or maybe to buy some beer on the weekend.
As an example, the one-way route Madrid - Valencia, you can find it from 15 euros in BlaBlaCar, the trip is a little longer than by train, but obviously it is cheaper, especially if you have not planned to travel well in advance.
At the same time, who knows, maybe you could find your soulmate? 🙂
And for Latin America, you ask ...? Here are several solutions:
40. Don't you use your car? Rent it to other individuals.
Here, we are not only talking about sharing a space in your car, but about make the whole car available to other people.
In Spain, Drivy plus Amovens (where at the same time you can share trips), they propose rent your car to individuals, in exchange for an amount of money. If you do not use your car very many times, it is a good way to earn a few euros and even a few thousand euros, instead of leaving it parked in the garage. Everything is designed so that the exchange is in the best possible conditions and the insurance contracts are obviously included in the payment.
This practice is becoming more and more common and allows people who need a car to obtain more attractive prices than if they go to a rental company such as Europcar or Hertz. As an example, you can rent a Peugeot 307 for € 3 per hour or € 23 per day, at Amovens.
Tripndrive addresses the Travellers who want to share a car. Are you going on a trip? You leave your car in an airport or station parking (free!), And Tripndrive takes care of paying for the parking and renting your car to other individuals.
In Latin America, this practice is less developed. I only found the website of Tomatucar for Mexico. But if you know another, or for another country, do not hesitate to share it in the comments.
41. Put a nice commercial promotion on your car
Yes, of course, commercial promotion is not only on the Internet or in mailboxes. You can also do commercial promotion, in your own way of course, turning your car into an advertising stand. You can put a commercial promotion on the rear window, the driver's door, the hood, etc.
There are several commercial promotion agencies that are looking for cars for their campaigns. If you are interested in learning more, you can read this post where I talk about commercial promotion in the car and discover which are the agencies in Spain.
Calculates between 100 and 500 euros of monthly earnings, which will depend on the size and duration of the ad.
If you have a car, you will also be interested in knowing some ideas that allow you to save, here are some tips with which you can save a few euros a month.

How to make money running errands or favors
Yes, it is also feasible, to do a favor to people around you and earn some money that is why. You will not have a profit like that of a first-rate footballer, but your portfolio will be a little fuller. Here are some examples you could try.
Help your neighbours!
42. Help other people
This method is valid for both young people and adults, it is a good solution to increase your monthly income. It can be mowing the lawn, helping with the iron, repairing your neighbor's PC or shopping for him, there is no shortage of run some errands and help others.
You can leave your house and knock on your neighbors door and propose your help; I'm sure that in less than 10 minutes you will already have a few errands to take care of. An easy way to earn money… and to win the affection of the neighbors. And it works anywhere.
And as always, there are web pages that can contribute to you, as an example Domesting in Spain.
What services can you propose? Well, there are thousands. Here are some examples:
- Take care of your neighbors' pets (I comment on it just later in this chapter),
- Doing gardening tasks: mowing the lawn, cutting wood, picking weeds, planting flowers ...
- Running errands for older people: shopping for them, taking them somewhere, going to the post office ...
- Fix the PC or any electronic device,
- Assemble some furniture,
- Move heavy loads.
43. Take care of your neighbors' pets
I've talked about babysitting before, but you know that more and more people are calling “babysitters” ... to take care of your dogs or cats? This may surprise you but in any case, there is demand.
I suppose you are imagining yourself on the street with eight mad dogs and all of them pulling on the leash in different directions, but that is not the case. Possibly, you may be asked to walk a pet, but caring for animals (at your home or the owner's) is also quite common.
Here are some websites that offer you to get in touch with families looking for a pet sitter: Dogbuddy, Gudog, Pet & Net and Holidog (the latter specifically dedicated to caring for animals when you go on vacation). They only work for Spain but possibly there are other websites where you live (and you always have the classified ad pages).
Do not hesitate to put your ad on your street, and talk about it with your friends and acquaintances, it is possibly the most reliable way to find a dog or a cat to take care of. You can win around about ten or twenty euros per pet per day.
And in summary, two very practical posts:
Don't forget to read the interview with Dogbuddy, where he tells us how this cool website works 😉
44. Anything can be lent
I have spoken before about renting cars or parking spaces between individuals. But there are many more things that can rent between individuals.
Your baby has grown and you don't know what to do with his stroller? Rent it for 10 euros a day.
And what about the drill that since you bought it you have only used it a couple of times and now it does nothing but take up space and fill up with dust. Rent it for 8 euros a day.
Everything, everything, everything can be rented. What you can win are not astronomical amounts but if you add them up you will see good results.
Here are some intermediaries to help you: Rereading, Alkiloo, Let's share or RentMyThings.
45. The money is also lent
Thanks to free access to the Internet, many people are freeing themselves from traditional intermediaries, such as with car rental, web page design or with the sale of objects. Many have even tried to free themselves from the banks ... and they have succeeded. Now it is feasible to borrow money between individuals.
The procedure is simple. A person requests financing for a project, a risk analysis is made and the operation is published, investors (that is, you) lend money at a very good interest (the interests are better than a traditional entity) for those who request it (the interest is lower than loans given by banks).
There are no limits at the project level: it can be about starting a company, reforming a terrace, buying a new car. In Spain, Comunitae will be in charge of verifying the solvency of the project applicant and will propose an interest rate accordingly.
On the investor side, you can lend up to 5,000 euros for a project or you can distribute your investment in several projects, with a minimum of 50 euros per project, it is you who decides.
To think about it, right?

Do you have a flat or a house? They can bring you money!
This image of the current Real Madrid coach has been on this wall for years

I'm not talking about traditional rentals, that's obvious, but it takes time and confidence. Regardless, there are more solutions. Have you heard of the sharing economy? If you are interested in knowing how to earn money with your home and collaborative consumption, read the post I prepared on this topic and where you will find more information. 😉
46. Rent it on AirBNB
If you haven't heard of AirBNB, it's not too late yet. AirBNB enables you rent your property (house, flat or room) for short or long periods and to offer people exceptional travel experiences. Is a community platform where travelers introduce themselves and owners describe their homes, here the evaluations make it possible to give confidence to the members and above all, most importantly, where the relationships are real, pleasant and personalized.
Taking up the own words of his web page, “Whether they want to rent an apartment for a night, a castle for a week or a villa for a whole month, Airbnb offers its users unique experiences for all budgets in more than 34,000 cities and 190 countries. Airbnb gives them the easiest way to earn money by renting their space and makes it possible to show it to millions of people who belong to a great community that continues to grow. "

47. Do you have a storage room? You can also rent it.
If you have a storage room that you hardly use or have space to spare that you could share, you can rent it for a pretty good payment.
It is easy and it enables you make your home profitable. There are several websites where you can publish your ad to start earning a few extra euros.
48. Do you have a garage space? Maybe someone requires it 😉
Do you have a garage space or a car park that you do not use throughout the day or during the holidays? Rent it! This is a simple way to earn a little money and help others, especially in large cities that often lack parking.
These are some of the platforms where you will be able to rent your garage space: Parquo, Parking. They work only in Spain.
You can earn between 50 and 100 euros per month for renting your garage space. Even though, obviously the price will depend on the location.
Before you ask me ... for Latin America, unfortunately I have not found any website to help you find people interested in your garage space, but hey, word of mouth also works for these things.
I also give you more ideas to earn money with your house in this post.
49. Put a commercial promotion in your house
Commercial promotion is everywhere and is aimed at everyone. You can make your car the representative of a brand, but did you know that you can also make your own garden or wall profitable to put up advertisements?
If you live in a neighborhood community, you can also rent some space in the building for commercial promotion. Apparently, the building has to meet certain characteristics and mainly in the community they will have to reach an agreement by a majority of the owners.
All those posters and those huge advertisements on the facades that you see on the street, some that have even become symbols of cities, have probably been rented by people like you through an advertising agency.
50. Rent your garden and host campers
Your garden can also give you a little of this special little money, this little money that will allow you to go to the movies or pay yourself something better than a Burger King.
There are websites that allow you rent your garden to some campers.
The truth is that it seems pretty cool to me how far the collaborative economy has come.
Come on, I'll leave you a website. It is in English but there are people renting in Spain so I imagine that you will also be able to leave your ad. The web is called Camp In My Garden.
You do not like english? Okeeeee Well, I leave you a website in Spanish. Is named Gamping and there you will be able to do the same: host and host some campers.
By the way, I found this idea on the website El Plan C, pretty cool to tell you everything. I love this about the collaborative economy, and on the website of El Plan C you will find a lot of very interesting information. I leave you the link here.
51. The rental for filming, another original trick to earn money. Did you know him?
Did you know that your house could become a real movie house? You may have thought this opportunity was too remote, but it is more real than you can imagine. Film and television production companies are continually looking for new scenarios.
Your house or flat will become a filming set for a few hours, a few days and even a few months, for which you will receive the rent payment. A necessary condition is to have space for the filming crews to work.
These are some of the specialized rental agencies for filming in Spain: Channel 1, Discovery 2 or Fourooms.
According Anida's blog, you can get up to 1500 euros a day by renting your house for a shoot.

How to get money in another way?
Still haven't found anything? Here are some original methods to earn money
We have started this guide with the most classic methods to earn money ... and we will end with the most original methods.
52. Get a brand tattoo
A beautiful tattoo ... for a lifetime!
Yes, you read it right. Some people have not hesitated to a logo tattoo or the name of a brand on his body. Even in places you couldn't imagine. Apparently, there is a lot of money involved, but with a much greater counterpart: wearing a brand name for your entire life, this can pose an obstacle when the brand in question goes bankrupt (and it happens more many times than you think) .
Sadly (or fortunately?), I have not found any website that connects brands with future tattooed.
If you don't believe me, here is a post with 69 commercial logo and icon tattoos (Even though they are rather fanboys of these brands, and not people who received a payment in exchange for their tattoo).
53. Become an artistic nude model
If you have a beautiful body ... even when thinking about it, it is not a necessary requirement ... truly the only requirement is not have complexes, why not pose naked or half-naked for artists?
The pay is quite attractive and the competition limited, at the same time art workshops are always looking for new models for their training programs. You can earn around 15 euros net per hour.
There is no website in itself to search for possibilities, but you can get in touch with museums, universities and art schools.
I also found online this list of live model drawing sessions. The list is in English but covers many Spanish-speaking countries. Here it is. Maybe in one of these sessions they are looking for a model!
54. Be an extra in a movie
Producers are always looking extras for your movies or TV series. Do not expect to be Brad Pitt's double or serve Penelope Cruz a coffee, but this will allow you to enter the world of cinema a bit and you will be able to say "Look, there, that's me, the one who is walking in the background"
The payment goes between 30 and 50 euros gross per day by normal figuration (background) and a little more if you appear in the foreground even more if you have a few words to say.
Here are some places where you can search: Penelope Agency (in Madrid and Barcelona) and People Agency (especially in Barcelona). There are possibly agencies of this type in all Latin American countries.
55. Donate a little of yourself
With this idea, I know that I am going to annoy some and some but hey! That's what my blog is about, to give you all the ideas that exist. Then each one chooses what seems most appropriate.
So here we go.
There are clinics that allow you donate eggs and semen, in exchange for financial compensation for the inconvenience. Well yes, donating eggs is a lot of inconvenience, don't you think?
Why ? Well, because there are many couples who need to go through the in vitro fertilization to have children, and there you can help them, making these donations in specialized clinics. Think of this as an act of solidarity.
Apparently, the requirements are very high - you have to be in good health, not have any disease, and have a family history without problems.
But if you are one of the chosen few, it is essential that you know the tradeoffs. According to the blog I have no job, a donation of semen can be compensated with between 30 and 50 euros. You can repeat this procedure several times and it will allow you to get up to 1200 euros.
With regard to egg donation, much more risky for women, the compensations can reach more than 1000 euros. For this reason, according to studies, there are more and more students and single women who use this extra income.
If you want to know more, take a look at this post from Gananci's super blog, where you will see the requirements and restrictions that each country has with this matter.
56. Are you about to cut your hair? Better: sell it
If you didn't know, here in Madrid we have the human hair warehouse largest in the world, that of Justino Delgado. You may sell your hair and receive money for it.
Apparently, they do not buy any hair, since they use it later to make wigs and other reasons. So here are some almost essential requirements:
- Your hair has to measure more than 40 centimeters once cut
- It has to be well cared for
- It cannot be dyed or permed
The price afterwards depends on the quality of the hair, its density and the length of your hair. You may have never heard of it, but you would be surprised to know that many people sell their hair to get some extra money.
According to this post from I have no job, «In Justino Delgado they pay between 150 and 750 euros per kilo of hair, depending on its length. An average ponytail weighs between 50 and 100 grams ». In this post they also highlight that the best offers are found directly by searching the Internet (and it is not necessary to be in Madrid): they pay better than Justino Delgado. Of course, it takes longer to find a buyer.
Your hair is less than 40 centimeters? Or is she not a virgin? There are other solutions: as an example, in this post They have a 30-centimeter non-virgin hair (in other words, it can be dyed as an example), you can get about 84 euros.
57. Sell your notes and other documents
There are web pages that allow you market your notes and documents.
I mean the following:
- The notes of your career (actually, there are websites dedicated only to this, I'll tell you about one of them later)
- The templates you use for the motivation letter when you are looking for work
- The email model you use to unsubscribe of a payment service
- PowerPoint presentations for your final degree projects
- The table you use to track your bank accounts
And up to where your creativity ends.
The money you can earn selling your notes varies according to the quality of the material you offer, and the number of downloads you get. You can get between 1 and 5 euros per document.
According to the blog Currency to Currency (where you will find a very interesting comparison of document sales websites), fidelity is also very important, since these platforms reward the fact of having your notes only in one place (and not throughout the network).
I leave you with 2 of the most recognized pages here in Spain: MisDocs (before it was called Wannanotes and there you can sell all kinds of documents) and Stuvia (dedicated to university notes).
58. I don't even know what title to use to talk about this
Dear reader, I have told you that I was going to find you all the ideas to earn money, and I am not going to fail in this epic quest.
But I have to tell you that I have doubted a lot whether or not to include this idea. I was calmly browsing the Internet looking for extra ideas for you and I have fallen into this idea.
Consists in …………… market used panties.
Yes, you read it right. And apparently, it is a bargain. Well, looking a little more, I found several platforms where you can market your used panties or your used underpants. And the dirtier the better. For sale from 30 euros and they can achieve the 100 euros. For a garment that maybe you have paid 4 or 5 euros?
Honestly, I'm freaking out. Although good, you have to respect the fetishes of the buyers, right?
If you don't believe me, I'll leave you with this post from Patricia Martínez's blog where he tells you more about this surprising idea.
And you can also take a look at Cadena Ser's post on this topic: http://cadenaser.com/emisora/2016/08/23/sercat/1471945881_583726.html
58. Participate in medical studies
If going to the doctor or spending a few days in the hospital doesn't scare you, you can participate in medical studies. They are essential to sell medicines "with guarantees." And the good thing for you is that it gives a lot of money, and at the same time you help the medical and scientific research.
Certain studies consist of asking you to try some medication or treatment that you might have adverse effect - In particular, they tend to search for people with certain types of diseases for these studies.
On the other hand, there are other much simpler studies that try to perform physical tasks without any side effect. So avoid worrying, there is everything.
You choose. Of course, in certain cases, you will have to spend a few days in the hospital. See if you can and if you are willing to do it. And you have to know that there are risks.
Apparently, you will receive a economic compensation for all this: it depends on the duration of the study. To give you an idea, in Digital Freedom tell us that for a 22-day study (only 2 nights on a hospital gurney), they received a payment of 560 euros. Not bad, since except for those 2 nights in the hospital, you can lead your life almost normally.
If you live in Madrid, follow the Twitter of the Clinical Trials Unit of the Hospital Universitario de la Princesa, here https://twitter.com/UEC_Princesa. Very normally, they summon people for clinical trials. Of course, places are sold out very very quickly, so you will have to be attentive.
60. Show your city to tourists
I found this trick from the blog The Plan C (Very cool by the way ... I think I already said it) and the truth is that I did not know it ... even though now that I think about it, I think that once I have considered acting as a Madrid guide, but hey that idea has lasted me like 45 minutes.
In short, once again the collaborative economy gives us an original idea.
Here it consists of be a guide in your city.
And better than going to the airport exit and asking who is looking for a guide, you can sign up on the web Beetripper, where you can propose the city you want to show people ... and especially clarify the slightly special tour you want to give them. Because that is what it is about: not only showing the most emblematic places, but making the city known in a way very personalized. Share something with these people who want to see something different.
An example of the tours that you can propose on the Beetripper website (here in Buenos Aires)
Surely you think that this only exists in Spain. Well no 😉 There are many beecities, as they say: Madrid and other cities in Spain, but also Mexico DF, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Lima ... well, truly, you can be a guide wherever YOU decide 🙂
So ... do you sign up?
An infographic to summarize it all
I already know that 52 ideas are a lot, and maybe you haven't read it all. But avoid worrying, here below you will find an infographic with all the ideas - and you will be able to easily see which ones will allow you to earn more money.
How to save money
We have already seen how to earn money, but you should also know that there are different methods to save money, that our pocket will appreciate it 😉
So I have compiled a list with different ways to save. As an example:
- Participation in group purchases to spend less.
- Practice bartering or exchanging services.
- Shopping with a full belly (that way you let yourself be less tempted) will allow you to save on the shopping cart.
- Use websites that offer discount coupons.
In the post How to save money: 30 easy ideas you will find more tips to save.
Easy money does not exist
You may have noticed by reading this list: easy money does NOT exist. Who makes you believe that you can win 374 euros this afternoon from nothing, is lying to you. So clear.
Just in case, I repeat myself: EL-DI-NE-RO-FA-CIL-NO-E-XIS-TE.
Why do I insist? Well, because on the Internet you will find many scams that pretend otherwise:
- The binary options. Where they tell you that by betting on the rise or fall of a share or currency, you can fill yourself with money. The truth? It is not as simple as they pretend, you have to have financial and economic knowledge, and be familiar with technical analysis.
-
The online casino. The casino is absolutely based on luck. And at the same time, in online casinos, they have many controls and algorithms that limit your attempts to "force" your luck. As an example, you will find some web pages that tell you about the martingale, a technique that supposedly allows you to win a lot of money with roulette, and based on the repetition of colors (black or red). What's going on? Well, in the online casino, they will create conditions so that this does not happen: limit your bets, force a sequence of 15 blacks in a row (which in real life is impossible) ...
- The lists of « companies that pay »For paid surveys. A couple of times I have found some pages that sell you a list of online companies that pay you for your opinion. There we have two problems: the scam is that they make you believe that you can take 2,000 euros a month just with these pages. This is false. The second problem, of course… is that all these companies are available online, in other words, you can find them yourself without going through this payment list. In this post I will tell you more about this and others scams on the internet.
- The «systems or programs to win the lottery ». These programs, after payment of course, ensure that you will win the first lottery prize with your Magic formula. This is not feasible, no one can predict the winning number in the lottery. You could apply some strategy to increase your probabilities but nobody assures you that you will win the prize. In this post I tell you more about the strategies to play lottery.
- And many more scams ... in the Money Anti Crisis blog, you will find one list of precautions before a web portal that offers you to earn money.
Anyway, what I want to say is that this is like everything in life. There are no magic tricks, but you have to make an effort. It is only in exchange for your time and / or your money that you will be able to earn money. The more effort you will put into it, the more money you will earn.
In the case of paid surveys, you have no choice: the more time you spend filling out surveys, the more money you will earn. So clear. But it doesn't always consist of your weather. As an example, if you create a blog, at first you will dedicate many hours (and energy) without earning a penny, but in the long run that will be invested, and you will have to put little of your time to earn a lot of money.
All millionaire people have become rich not on the basis of long, but on the basis of many efforts : they have invested their energy in doing things that in the long term can give them a lot best return than any online job or page. Real estate investment, starting a business, creating a blog, shares on the stock market ...
Some tricks
In summary, some tricks that will help you in a general way.
- If a page or a web portal to earn money not available in your country, maybe there is a solution. On the Piratacoins blog, Alejo tells you about this post how you earn money at I-Say despite living in Venezuela. Be careful: many web pages will limit you if you use this trick, they can even close your account, so be careful
- If you register on a paid registration page, paid emails or paid surveys, I suggest you sign up with a different email the one you use regularly. When you sign up, what you really do is provide your personal data and in this way, you will begin to receive a lot of emails (some unwanted) and they will fill your mailbox with shit.
- I also advise you to register in several of these pages. As an example, in the case of paid surveys, if you are only registered for one, you will not have a survey available every day. But if you are enrolled in several, you will be able to fill out a survey every day and in this way your income will increase faster.
- Many paid websites require Paypal to receive a payment. So i suggest you sign up for Paypal. It is extremely simple. You can create an account by following the steps in this post.
