Advertisements

Bringing in a bit of extra cash is something that we all like to do. You may have a full-time job, but feel as though you just breaking even. If you’re earning as much as you can from that position, then you will possibly wonder where you can make more. 

There are lots of opportunities to earn a bit extra by doing a side hustle. This may mean taking up a flexible job, getting paid to complete tasks online, or making money through gaming. Here a few ways that you can bring in some extra cash. 

Amazon Mechanical Turk

There are lots of tasks online that are really small and simple to do, that need that extra human touch. Machines can’t differentiate between things in an image unless they are taught what is in that picture. 

Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for small jobs that need a human to do instead of a machine. It gets its name from a chess-playing machine from the 18th century that wowed everyone by winning every game. It turned out to be a con, with a human chess master sat inside making the moves. 

Jobs on the site are tiny and can be completed in minutes or less. They pay very small amounts; however, if you can finish enough of these mini-tasks, you will start to earn a reasonable amount of cash. 

Gambling And Matched Betting

There are ways that you can earn money through gaming and gambling sites. There is obviously a risk involved in this, so be sure you never use more than you can afford. Some websites offer casino bonus games with free credit when you start off. 

Matched betting is a way of earning money by essentially placing a bet in both directions. That means you will win regardless of the outcome. Using a free bet offered by a betting site, you will place a bet on a sporting event. Then, you will go to a betting exchange site and place a lay bet on the opposite of your initial bet. One result will win and will payout. 

Driving An Uber

If you have a good car and a clean driving license, you may want to become an Uber driver. With lots of high earning potential, you will get your customer’s details sent through to you via an app. They will have prepaid and already set their destination. All you need to do is drive and earn lots of money. 

Sell Your Unwanted Items

Listing your unwanted items of selling sites like eBay and Facebook marketplace will mean that you will not only clear through the stuff that is taking space up in your home, you will also get some money for it. 

Make sure that you only list things that are in good enough condition to sell. Be honest with your listings, and don’t make any claims about the items that are exaggerated to make the sale. It is a sure-fire way to get your account closed.
