6 Legit Ways to Make Money From Home That You've Never Heard Of

These days more and more people are finding that they aren't limited to a single source of income. With all the unique money-making opportunities available, many people are finding that they can earn a few extra hundred dollars a month by thinking a little outside the box.

While all of the opportunities listed below are legitimate ways to make some money, it would probably be unrealistic to expect to make a full-time income from any of them individually.

So check them out and let us know in the comments which ones you like best and earn the most for you!

1. Get paid using your iPhone (or Android)

There seem to be many apps popping up that pay you to do simple tasks like taking a picture of a menu, or taking a picture of yourself drinking a Starbucks, or verifying that a road is closed -- you get the picture. Here are a few that I found:

• Juno Wallet
• Gigwalk
• CheckPoints
• WeReward

2. Complete jobs on Zaarly.com

Zaarly is a website that connects those offering random services (like walking a dog, being a personal assistant for a day, giving guitar lessons, etc.) with buyers who are looking for those services. I would suggest checking out some of the ideas listed on the site and sign up and offer those services as they are in demand.

3. Teach English (or other language) classes online

Did you know that English speakers are in high demand in Asia? As a result many are turning to freelance English teachers using websites like Italki.com. The site is basically a virtual online classroom for freelance teachers and students. Anyone can offer lessons (and set their own price), and anyone can take lessons. From a quick scan, it looks like making $15 to 20/hour is a fair expectation.

4. Make money by viewing ads on your Android lock screen

I've been trying out this Android app called Locket that puts ads on your lock screen and pays you for each time you unlock your phone.

I've been using it for a few days now and have made about 3 bucks thus far, so it isn't huge, but at the same time, I didn't really have to do any work to earn the money.

If you are interested in seeing how it works, here is a quick video review that you can watch for more info.

5. Sell your service at Fiverr

Fiverr is a website that allows you to sell your service for $5. There are all kinds of crazy things people are offering and getting paid for on there -- like taking a picture holding a sign, recording two sentences in an Irish accent, recording a video singing a certain song, and even prank calling a friend all for $5. So if you have a little creativity, there are some fun ways to make some money on the side.

6. Rent out your car for $10+ an hour

I just recently heard about RelayRides.com, which allows you to either rent or lend your car to others -- and get paid in the process. If you live in a big city, this could be pretty profitable.

A couple of ideas to make money from home

1. Become a mystery shopper. This means doing business with various establishments and rating their products and services without their knowledge. It may sound like cake, but remember that it requires discreteness, a good memory for detail (ex. the name of every individual who helped or served you), and enough cash for you to be able to pay for your shopping experience up-front and then wait to be reimbursed pending the approval of your review.
2. 
   
   Write product reviews. Many companies will pay a lot more than two cents for your two cents. Product reviews are a great way to get paid for being opinionated that doesn’t require the writing background that many other writing jobs do.

Beginners guide to selling on eBay

We’ve all bought stuff on eBay, it’s easy, perhaps *too *easy (they really shouldn’t let you bid on a gorilla costume at half four in the morning after you’ve had a heavy night out on the ciders).

Selling, on the other hand, is an altogether more daunting prospect. Listing items, writing descriptions, organising payment, arranging postage. It all sounds like a bit of a faff.

But you’re forgetting one thing - you get money for it! If the contents of your wardrobe changes with the seasons or you’ve got a Kilimanjaro-sized pile of CDs you’ll never use again now they’re all saved on to your mp3 player, why not cash in by clearing out?

Your first job is to visit eBay and create a seller’s account - this requires nothing more than entering in your personal details and credit/debit card details for verification.

Now you’re ready to follow our top five foolproof tips on selling your way to success.

Do your research

So you’ve got a whole load of stuff you want to sell - but what first? Take a look through eBay’s ‘completed items’ search to find out what similar items have sold for - this’ll give you a rough estimate of how much you’ll be able to sell it for.

Another important thing to check is that you’re allowed to list whatever it is you’re flogging on eBay. The site has strict rules about what you can’t sell - notably alcohol or plane/train tickets - so it’s always best to make sure you’re following the rules, no one wants to anger the eBay gods.

Choosing your selling format

As you may have noticed, there are two types of selling format - an auction style sale in which the highest bidder wins, or the ‘buy it now’ option where buyers can purchase an item instantly for a fixed price you’ve set.

If you’re a complete beginner then you’re obligated to use the classic auction style sale - once you have feedback from ten sales you will be able to use the fixed price option. To start an auction at 99p or below is totally free - to have a higher minimum sale price costs more, click here for details.

Creating your listing

It’s important to take your time when writing your item description. An evocative description can make all the difference, it’s also vital to ensure you use all keywords that potential buyers might search for to ensure as many people see you listing as possible.

Although it’s tempting to tell the odd white lie about your product in order to get as much money as you can, honesty is the best policy. If you falsely advertise your item you could get in trouble should the buyer make a complaint.

Almost as important as the description is the image you use. A good photo can really make your listing stand out. If you’re selling clothes, give them an iron, if it’s a guitar, give it a polish - you want to make your items look as desirable as possible.

You can list items for up to ten days - however long you decide to list an item for, it’s important that at least one weekend falls into the listing period as this is when eBay gets the highest amount of visitors.

Getting Paid

There are a number of ways you can choose to get paid for selling an item - by cheque, by credit card, by bank transfer - but by far the most popular and convenient is PayPal. A secure online payment method, PayPal will ensure that you get paid instantly without having to share any of your financial information with the buyer.

Sellers pay up to 3.4% plus 20p per transaction - so the more items you sell in one listing, the more you save.

Besides ease of use, the biggest benefit of using PayPal is that you are covered by the ‘seller protection policy’ which will protect you against unauthorised payments, claims and reversals. Set up your PayPal account today by visiting their site.

However the more types of payment you accept the better as you’ll hopefully offer something for everyone.

Completing your sale

Once your listing ends contact the buyer as soon as possible to arrange payment and to get their delivery details. Only ever post the item *after *you’ve been paid.

In order to become a trusted seller and therefore have more people buy your items it’s good eBay etiquette to leave feedback about your buyers, this should encourage them to leave feedback about you - which will be all good, of course.

How to change your life - Jim Rohn

I love Jim Rohn, what he talked about years ago is still relevant now!

No matter what you want to do or how! Enjoy!

Five ways to make £100 in your spare time

Try these practical ideas 

1. Cash for chores

Did you know you can charge around £10 per hour for the simple household jobs people often don’t have time for? You could put together flat-pack furniture, iron shirts, or declutter cupboards, for instance.

Try placing an ad in your local newsagent’s window or, even better, advertise on the website for your local area. You can often promote your services for free in the website’s business directory, with the option to pay for a more premium listing. If you’re not sure what your area website is, check with your local council.

2. Work from home

Fancy earning up to £500 writing 33 profiles of dog breeds for a website? Or perhaps £5 per hour transcribing audio tapes into word documents? These are just two typical examples of the work found at peopleperhour.com. Register on the site to create your free profile, including what you’re able to do, then bid for the jobs listed – if you win them, you get to do them. Or try the section devoted to full-time work from home at workingmums.co.uk.

3. Rent out a room

Thanks to the internet, it’s now fairly simple to rent out a spare room for short periods to overseas visitors. The recently launched flexiroom.co.uk lets you advertise to such paying guests. This is in return for a four per cent commission on each booking, though it’s free to add a listing. Another service is airbnb.co.uk, which charges three per cent commission on bookings. Under the Government’s Rent a Room scheme you don’t have to pay tax on the first £4,250 you receive in rent each year.

4. Sell the treasures you no longer need

Get potentially valuable items valued free and without obligation at Christie’s auction house. As this can be done online, you don’t have to bring things to London. If suitable, Christie’s will auction items for you and charge a commission. There’s no need for you to attend in person and appropriate items include jewellery, paintings and antique books. Auction house Bonhams also offers free valuations online, and features a how-to guide for selling.

5. Become a tutor

There’s demand for coaching to help children with a variety of subjects at various ages and stages from junior school up to GCSEs and A levels. Tutoring on a one-to-one basis could earn you up to £30-£40 an hour. You don’t need a teaching qualification, but you will need a CRB check. Online services such as firsttutors.com and uktutors.comsimply invite you to say what qualifications you do have. GCSEs and A levels may be enough to teach under-11s, but you do need to feel confident about the skills you can offer.
