1. Answer the questions together

This really is one easy way for couples to make money online togetherbut the trade-off is that you probably won’t make much from it, but it will certainly add up over time, and every now and then you’ll come across a survey with a pretty big payout.

There are several sites online that will pay you for your thoughts.

Personally I recommend Survey Junkie because I have tried it and find it safe and easy to use, and there are usually surveys available on a given day.

If you take a few surveys every day in your spare time or during lunch, you can earn a not insignificant amount of money in the long run.

If you can make even $5 a day, that’s $150 a monthwhich is definitely not a big change.

Other high-paying survey sites include Swagbucks, Branded Surveys and InboxDollars.

2. Rent out your property

Do you have an extra room, extra garage, a mother-in-law suite or even a driveway or parking space?

An easy way to make money with minimal effort is to rent out your space. You can advertise for a roommate or advertise your room on short-term rental sites.

It’s easy to list your bedroom on rental websites, and services like Airbnb make renting a breeze! Here is a list of websites where you can easily list your space for rent:

Oedle
Zillow
Hot pads
Airbnb
Realtor.com
Rentals.com
SpotHero (for parking space rental)

List your extra space and start making money as a couple now.

Another way to make money in real estate is by investing on online platforms like Fundrise.

This allows you to invest in real estate without a huge amount of capital. You can only start with $500.

3. Start teaching

Are you good at math, while your partner is an English expert or fluent in another language? You may both be able to teach or tutor online. This side job pays well and can often even be done from home.

Tutor.com
Chegg
Super prof
Udemy

If you have a handle on basic subjects, take advantage of that and earn extra money with it.

4. Sell online courses

This is a little different from the previous tip, in that once you’ve finished creating all your slides and content for the topic, you can sell them as a package to potential students.

Websites like Udemy or Teachable allow you to list your courses and get a percentage of your course’s total subscription fee. The more relevant the content is, the more likely you are to get students.

This is a great option for couples to make money if they are both experts in the same subject. You can take turns making course videos, or one person makes the videos while the other writes the slides/documents or does the editing.

5. Write a blog

Do you and your partner enjoy writing and share a passion for a particular subject? If so, starting a blog can be a great way to express your passion and make money from it.

By creating articles and entertaining or educating people, you can help others find the information they are looking for while generating revenue at the same time. From video games to lifestyle tips and everything in between, there’s a demand for everything there is!

I started writing and blogging when my son was born. My husband worked evenings and I had extra time after the kids were in bed. This extra income has helped my family and has now turned into a full-time job.

As a couple, blogging can be ideal because each individual can focus on certain tasks and help divide the tasks. The process of creating a successful blog can take some time, but it is worth the effort. You can start providing information about anything you want and be helpful and relevant.

As your user base grows, you can start advertising on your blog, which will help you build passive income. Do you need help getting started? Here’s how to start a blog.

6. Learn a skill

Today, there is a huge market for skills-based work. Both individuals and companies outsource things like social media management, data mining, content writing, etc.

Learning these skills doesn’t take much time, and you can have a convenient source of income working from home.

You can learn from YouTube or take free courses from websites like DataCamp and Coursera, which will give you general guidelines on how to work. After that, it’s just a matter of getting your first gig.

7. Sell your old stuff

We all know you have a collection of stuff that you don’t want to sell. But maybe it’s finally time to get rid of that couch or study table you no longer use.

Start by making a list of essentials and items that you just have on hand. There may be an entire attic full of old furniture, clothes, books, etc. that you would be better off selling.

List on marketplace platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, eBay or Craigslist. Then potential buyers will contact you directly and hopefully you can sell anything you don’t need.

Me regularly earn an additional $100 or more per month by selling and returning old toys, sale of used Disney VHS tapes, clothes my kids have outgrown, and other things we no longer need. This extra income can be quite significant!

8. Try investing in cryptocurrency

Crypto has finally become a legitimate way to make money, as long as you know what you are doing. It may take some time as the learning curve here is a bit steep, but the payoff is good.

Thousands of people can make hundreds of dollars a day simply by knowing about the cryptocurrency market.

Creating an account is easy, as several brokerage websites only require a few dollars to get started. You can create an account on apps like Crypto.comBinance and Coin base among other things.

However, crypto can be a risky way to make money because coins can fall in value just as easily as they can rise.

9. Invest in the stock market

If investing in crypto is a bit too confusing for you, stocks are an easier option, although you may have to dig into the books before considering this as a good source of income.

Learning how current events affect businesses and predicting their value takes some knowledge, but it’s a great source of income and fun to learn.

Apps like Wealth front, AcornsAnd Robin Hood allow you to easily create an investment account and also offer other useful features. You can create a portfolio that can also serve as a kind of retirement fund for you and help you later in life.

10. Start a business

Have you always dreamed of starting a family business? It’s never too late to make that dream come true. Jeff Bezos was thirty years old when he founded Amazon, and today he is the richest man on earth.

So start planning. Your business can be anything from providing services to making products. And as long as you give the business the right time and effort, you can definitely make an income from it.
