1. Get Into Real Estate BUT w/o Selling or Buying Anything

I met Jayne Havens who was a stay-at-home mom, always getting asked if she could help others get their kids to sleep through the night since she had early success.
She started charging people, and in her first month in business she made $2,400! By the end of her first year in business, she was having $10,000 months!!! And mostly everything is done by email or text.

13. Online Freelance Jobs
Freelance jobs are a great way to make money online part-time. You deliver a service for a fee with the ability to work where and when you want with unlimited earning potential!
I have found many freelance jobs on Upwork. I sift through the available work options to see which project suits me the best.
I only apply to the jobs I KNOW I can do well because after the project is over its important that I get a good review so I can continue to get more jobs.
I suggest the following when applying to jobs on Upwork:
- Focus on the projects with only 5-10 proposals or less submitted (less competition)
- Check that the client has the “blue verified payment check” before applying
- When you see a job that fits you, apply for it immediately!
- If you live in the U.S., make sure to check “U.S. Only.”
- If you are pitching your first job, try to offer your services for free for one week to ease the client’s mind since you have no references or reviews. If the client likes you move on with the “paid service” the following week. That’s how I won my first job, and the client still paid me for my first week.
For a full list of freelance services you can provide on Upwork, click here.
14. Sell low content books on Amazon
This is one of the best jobs you can do on the side and make a great passive income each month.
You create a cover of a book and one interior page. Post it to Amazon KDP and let your work sell.
This may not make a lot of sense but we break it down in our article How to make 1000s selling low content books, or you can just watch as we show you how to do this in minutes.
15. Create and Sell Printables
Printables are a great way to make money because you only make them once and can earn money on them over and over again. We know people making $8,000 a MONTH!

16. Web Search Evaluator
Web Search Evaluators are great online part-time jobs where you have to rate social media ads and search engine results for relevancy.
You work whenever it fits in your schedule as long as you can make up the 20 hours a week (no more than 8 hours a day).
How much can I make? $12.50 – $14 per hour.
How to get started: Apply to the only two companies I recommend for Web Search Evaluators.
17. Survey Taker
Give your opinion to help brands deliver better products and services and get paid in the form of gift cards or through PayPal aka cash.

How to get started: I only recommend signing up for Survey Junkie, Swagbucks, and PrizeRebel.
The more survey sites you sign up for, the more you’ll make.
Pro Tip: Open a separate email account solely for surveys. You’ll start to get inundated with emails, and it will be more manageable in a different account
