15. Sell your photography to the web.
Sites like INSIDER always need good photos for our content, like the one above.
Sometimes
we take our photos ourselves, sometimes we get them from news-wire
services like Reuters and Getty, and sometimes we get them from stock
image
services, like Shutterstock and iStock.
For Shutterstock and iStock, anyone can submit their photos to be included
in the service. You just have to follow their guidelines
and upload your
photos.
Then when someone (like INSIDER) downloads your
photos through them,
they'll pay you a fee. If you're a photography
hobbyist, it's a relatively
simple way to make some money from your
photographs.
16. Get cash back on credit cards.
Credit cards often offer
cash back as a reward for making purchases. What this means is, for
every purchase you make, the credit card company will give you a small
percentage of the money back.
The percentage differs between
credit cards and categories. So, for example, one type of credit card
might offer 1.5% cash back on all purchases. Another might offer 1% back
on most purchases, but 5% back on gas and travel purchases.
You
also often have to reach a certain threshold of payment to be able to
cash in. And cards will often allow you to redeem your cash back as
"points" to purchase things directly from the credit card company's
website instead.
17. Invest in real estate.
This one takes more cash upfront and more management, but the payout could be significant.
If you can invest in a real estate venture, you can make a lot of
rental money. Of course, there are a lot of obstacles to hurdle. Most
importantly, you need a lot of capital to invest in the first place. And
secondly, you need to make sure the place you're investing in will have
a steady stream of rent-paying tenants.
But once you have a property that's established and has tenants, it's just a matter of upkeep.
If you invest in a venture with a full-time property manager, the job
becomes much more passive. Renting out real estate is a considerably
more simple and stable way to get extra cash flow every month with
relatively little effort compared to other investment opportunities.
18. Build an app.
If there's a function you want on your smartphone, try making an app for it. With sites like Code Academy, learning to code is easier than ever.
If your app is good and people like it, you can easily make money in
two ways. One way is to charge for it in Apple's App Store or Android's
Google Play Store. Or you can sell ads on it, as you would on a website.
Skeptical? Read Nathan Barry's article, "How I Made $19,000 on the App Store While Learning to Code." It's possible.
19. Get paid for watching TV and playing video games.
It's the dream, isn't it?
Sites like Inboxdollars
will pay you money to keep track of the television you watch, the video
games you play, and other habits you might have already. All you have
to do is take surveys to give your feedback, and they'll pay you.
The money comes from research firms that want to understand consumer habits.
20. Get paid for browsing the web.
Similarly, Swagbucks
will pay you for installing an add-on that tracks your searches. Like
Inboxdollars, they're a middleman for research firms that want to
understand how people use the web.
You earn points for doing
everyday things, and can redeem them for gift cards at stores you'd
probably shop at anyway, like Amazon and Walmart.
21. Get paid for improving products.
dScout is kind of like a more
advanced version of Inboxdollars and Swagbucks. Instead of earning
money in a relatively passive way, dScout is an app where you can sign up for "missions."
Companies
that want to get consumer research will offer elaborate "missions" that
you can sign up for on the app. They might involve going to a
supermarket and checking the availability of granola bars, or testing
out a device.
While completing the mission, you need to answer
survey questions, and they'll pay you for it. It's not always easy to
get accepted to a mission, but if you do, you can stand to make much
more money than with Inboxdollars or Swagbucks. It's not uncommon to see
missions that pay out around $50.
