Email lists are most often paired with a website, product or service. So if you have any of those, sell it along with the list.
Typically, each subscriber on an email list is valued at $1 (but this depends heavily on a number of factors). So, a list of 5,000 subscribers is worth approximately $5,000.
As long as your email list is sizable, renting it out can easily net you hundreds of dollars.

First, you’ll need to build a website.
Second, you’ll need to create pieces of content (blog posts, videos, etc.) that people will love. For inspiration, check out successful viral websites like Buzzfeed, and model your content after theirs. (Don’t ever copy online content – that will get you in big trouble with the search engines, and likely the source!)
Third, you’ll need to monetize your website with Google AdSense or an alternative. Place ads in the header, sidebar, and within the blog posts. This is how you’ll make money with your site.
Fourth, you’ll need to promote your content on social media. If you have the budget, consider running Facebook ads. These aren’t too expensive, and will potentially bring you a LOT of visitors.
If you succeeded in creating great content, people will share it like crazy and you just might go viral! Thousands of visitors per day can easily bring in hundreds of dollars in ad revenue.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Creating a viral website is far more difficult than you probably think. Though these steps may make it sound easy, few people can successfully pull it off. But who knows, maybe you’ll be the one to do it. 😉

Confusing? Hopefully this will clear it up:
Let’s say you find a CPA offer to promote. And let’s say this offer is a free insurance quote. You link to the offer from your website. I come along, click your link, and fill out the insurance quote form. Once I hit “submitâ€, you automatically get paid!
Some CPA offers pay simply for a click, some pay for an email, some pay for a form, and some for an actual purchase.
The payouts range widely, but the easy ones (like clicking a link) usually pay out just a few cents, and forms or purchases oftentimes pay as much as $20 (and sometimes more!)
As you can see, CPA marketing can be very, very lucrative if you can drive a lot of traffic to your offer. But, you’ll need some guidance on how to do it right before you jump in head first. Reading this blog post is an excellent place to start.

Tell your classmates about the notes and study guides you have for sale, and if they are serious about earning a good grade, they’ll likely buy!

You can sell anything on eBay. ANYTHING.
You can choose to sell an item as an auction, or as a “buy it nowâ€. Auctions usually get more views and activity, but don’t always go as high as you’d like. So if you KNOW the worth of your item, list it as a buy it now (or put a reserve on the auction).
Note that being an eBay seller does require some work. You have to manage inventory, paperwork, and the shipping of your sold items. It’s not too difficult though.
How profitable you can be on eBay depends entirely on what you have for sale. Some sellers only make a few dollars, and others make millions per year.

There is a variety of ways to earn money with Amazon. You can sell your own products directly on Amazon, do Amazon FBA, or even join the Amazon Associates (affiliate) program and never have to worry about inventory.

They should be about 30 or more years old, and the older the better.
What you do is cut out the ads, and sell them on eBay. Buy frames for the ads from the dollar store, and you can charge even more.

Local buyers turn to Craigslist for things like couches, pianos, vehicles, and other large items. Even animals can find new homes via Craigslist.
When someone purchases your item (or animal), you’ll give them your address and they will pick it up in person.
You can actually earn money for your junk mail – both physical mail and emails!
SBK Center pays you to send them your junk mail. They use the junk mail for market research.
You can’t expect to get rich doing this. In fact, you’ll probably earn about $20 every 10 weeks. But that’s not too bad if you think about it. Selling your junk mail could increase your holiday spending budget by more than $100!

Prizes will of course vary depending on the contest.
This may not be the best way to earn a sustainable income, but if you are really good at what you do it could definitely help.
Different companies are running sweepstakes all the time, so a good place to look is on social media.
You can also search for sweepstakes on sweepstake directories.
Though this is technically a way to make money online, it’s not reliable nor sustainable. Not by a long shot.
But, there’s always the chance that it could turn out to be a profitable way to spend 5 minutes doing each morning.
Using this method, you won’t have to do any of the promotion yourself. Clickbank affiliates will find your product, and trust me, they will do plenty of promotion.
That’s because the affiliates get a small cut for each sale. So, make sure to take this into account when pricing your product.
You want it to be affordable, but you also want to make sure it’s worth the affiliates’ time to promote it!

One of the most profitable ways to turn that knowledge into cash is by offering a consulting service.

In fact, there are billions of dollars of unclaimed money in the United States alone.
This money comes from a variety of sources, such as life insurance policies, inactive bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed trust distributions, unclaimed refunds of mortgage insurance, forgotten retirement accounts, and more.
Let’s be realistic though:
Chances are slim that you have unclaimed money. Still, the possibility is there, so why not take a few minutes to check?
You can search for unclaimed money for free on Unclaimed.org. Click your state (or province or country), and it will take you to a page where you can start the process of locating any possible unclaimed cash.
At any given time, there are plenty of online recipe contests that you can enter. Some offer as much a $5,000 for first place!

You could charge different amounts based on factors such as length, content, and delivery time. See what other successful voice over artists are doing, and model your service after theirs. Add a unique twist to it to really stand out.
You will have a lot of competitors since voice overs are one of Fiverr’s main categories, so you will definitely have to do some marketing on social media, your website, or by word of mouth.

What you do is read a detailed “how-to†article, and offer a service implementing the practices you learned in that article.
For example, you could read a detailed guide about “Guestographic link buildingâ€, and then approach bloggers and pitch them with a document explaining your service.
In the document, you can list everything offered in your service, as well as the price – which you can charge more for the more valuable your service is.
This may sound sort of confusing, so I recommend you read this article which explains the process in much more detail.

As with any kind of investment, investing in cryptocurrencies is certainly risky – especially since a lot of people believe “the bubble†is about to burst.
However, it’s also how a lot of people turned several thousand dollars into several million in just a few years. If you don’t mind taking risks, investing in cryptocurrencies may end up being one of the smartest risks you’ve taken.
Before you get started, make sure to do a lot of research (here’s a great place to start). This isn’t something you can just start doing thoughtlessly. You will thank yourself many times over if you take the time it requires to thoroughly research before you begin.
Investing in a cryptocurrency will cost money – nobody’s giving away free bitcoins. However, at the rate things are going, it’s not impossible to make back your investment in a matter of days….

Even if you can’t code, you can hire a developer on Upwork or a similar site to develop themes for you. Yes, this will have an upfront cost, but it could potentially pay off big time if you create truly great themes.
Themes should be responsive, secure, SEO optimized, and follow the WordPress coding standards. And they should look awesome, too.

You will have to get a LOT of traffic before you can charge anything worthwhile, since there are so many other routes businesses can take to market themselves. In other words, you’ll have to make sure getting listed in your directory is worth the cost.
What you do is upload your file to one of these websites, and then share the download link on your own website or with your social media followers. When someone downloads your file, you’ll be paid!
Make sure to do a lot of research before getting started with PPD. This industry is rife with scams, so be aware of that when making any decisions!

You can literally join a PTC site, and start clicking ads. Each ad click is usually worth a fraction of a cent, rarely more.
A while back, I signed up with one of the largest PTC sites, Clixsense, and spent about two hours clicking ads. In the end, I had amassed $0.07! (not a typo). The reason I stopped (aside from the fact that it was a huge waste of time) was that there were no more ads to click!
Granted, there are other ways to make money on a PTC site – such as completing offers, and getting referrals. But neither of those options are worth the time when you consider how much more you could earn with other make money online opportunities.

Guest posting is a powerful SEO tactic, but many people find it time consuming and would rather hire someone else to do it for them.

Forums with a lot of traffic can make a decent amount of money through ads and affiliate links.

You’ll probably have to sell them at a discount, so for example, a $20 gift card may only go for $15. It really depends on what company the gift card is for. Oddly enough, I saw some $20 gift cards going for a lot more than $20 (like really??) so yeah, the prices people will pay are all over the map.
If you write awesome content and have a large following, you could turn this into a good side-hustle or even a full-time income. In fact, Medium reports that the highest-earning author in January 2018 earned a total of $11,316.74 for the month!

Bonus: Other Easy Money-Making Ideas
BzzAgent is a website that sends you products for free. You then have to try them out, tell your friends about them, and write a Bzz report on the product.
After that, you can keep the product forever.
Unfortunately, to become a Bzz agent, you have to fill out a lot of forms which ask for very personal information – such as your medical history, family tree information, and pretty much everything except your social security number. That right there is a deal breaker for most people.
There are several companies that pay you to wrap your car in an ad.
Wrapify pays by the mile, with some drivers making $400-$600 per month.
Carvertise pays monthly, usually at a rate of $100, but sometimes up to $200.
Both will require you to do a lot of driving in high-traffic locations. Don’t expect to get accepted if you live out in the middle of nowhere, or don’t drive very often.
The wraps are put on by the company for a set period of time. Don’t worry, the wraps will not harm your vehicle – in fact, they protect the paint! When your campaign ends, the company will remove the wrap.
Unlike the many car wrapping scams out there, neither of the two companies I listed require an upfront payment. It’s absolutely free to do, and is a great way to earn some extra passive income.
There are a number of apps where you can list your parking space, name your price and the availability, and get paid whenever someone rents the space.
The pay varies considerably based on where you live. In San Francisco for example, you could make as much as $19 per day. In the Boston suburbs on the other hand, you could expect about $2.75.
Note that renting out a parking space is not legal in every jurisdiction. Portland, Oregon is one place where it’s not allowed. So, make sure it’s legal in your area before you try it!
Here are a few parking apps/websites to try out:
Some people think it’s creepy hosting strangers in their accommodations, but others don’t mind the idea – especially if they’re fairly compensated.
With Airbnb, you can take pictures of your room, put up a listing, and if someone is passing through your area and needs somewhere to stay, they can book your room for a fee.
Obviously, Airbnb is most effective in densely populated areas. But even if you’re in a smaller town, you may still get the occasional booking.
You can also host “Experiences†on Airbnb. Some examples include culture walks, learning to cook a new dish, and photography classes.
After spending a little time exploring Airbnb, you’ll see just how creative you can get.
Well, I guess that concludes the world’s most comprehensive list of ways to make money online. I hope you were able to find your dream internet job, or at least some inspiration!

- Sell Your Email List
- Most people frown on this.
- Your subscribers probably won’t like you anymore
- You can make a lot more money by keeping the list if you know what you’re doing.
Email lists are most often paired with a website, product or service. So if you have any of those, sell it along with the list.
Typically, each subscriber on an email list is valued at $1 (but this depends heavily on a number of factors). So, a list of 5,000 subscribers is worth approximately $5,000.

- Snag Your Piece of the Lucrative CPA Marketing Pie
Confusing? Hopefully this will clear it up:
Let’s say you find a CPA offer to promote. And let’s say this offer is a free insurance quote. You link to the offer from your website. I come along, click your link, and fill out the insurance quote form. Once I hit “submitâ€, you automatically get paid!
Some CPA offers pay simply for a click, some pay for an email, some pay for a form, and some for an actual purchase.
The payouts range widely, but the easy ones (like clicking a link) usually pay out just a few cents, and forms or purchases oftentimes pay as much as $20 (and sometimes more!)
As you can see, CPA marketing can be very, very lucrative if you can drive a lot of traffic to your offer. But, you’ll need some guidance on how to do it right before you jump in head first. Reading this blog post is an excellent place to start.
Here’s a few CPA offer sites to check out as well: Income potential: 5/5

No, you can’t start a crowdfunding campaign just to make money (I mean…technically you could)…you will need to convince potential donors that your cause is worthy enough for their support.

- Create a Profitable Membership Site
In the right niche, membership sites can be incredibly lucrative. However, be aware that it will take a lot of work and time to keep the membership strong and growing. It’s definitely not a good option if you’re only looking to generate a passive income.
However, it is nonetheless one of the better ways to make a lot of money online. This detailed guide walks you through getting started.

- Get Paid to Share Links on Your Social Media Accounts
I’m not too sure about ShareMagnet’s viability for two reasons:
- ShareMagnet’s website is rather outdated and there’s not much activity
- The payout per link click is pretty low, so you certainly won’t get rich.

SliceThePie pays its users to review music. Each review needs to be about 50-100 words, and cannot be fake (they scan reviews and reject them if they don’t seem legitimate).
For your trouble, they’ll pay you a few pennies.
Yes, that means you’ll have to review several hundred songs in order to earn just $10. You can also earn money via their referral program. You’ll make 10% of what your referrals make, which is low for these types of sites.

- Sell Literally Anything on eBay
You can sell anything on eBay. ANYTHING.
You can choose to sell an item as an auction, or as a “buy it nowâ€. Auctions usually get more views and activity, but don’t always go as high as you’d like. So if you KNOW the worth of your item, list it as a buy it now (or put a reserve on the auction).
Note that being an eBay seller does require some work. You have to manage inventory, paperwork, and the shipping of your sold items. It’s not too difficult though.
How profitable you can be on eBay depends entirely on what you have for sale. Some sellers only make a few dollars, and others make millions per year.

- Make a Killing Selling on Amazon
There is a variety of ways to earn money with Amazon. You can sell your own products directly on Amazon, do Amazon FBA, or even join the Amazon Associates (affiliate) program and never have to worry about inventory.
All three options require a lot of hard work and patience, but they are all among the most lucrative ways to make money online.

In fact, there are a couple ways to make money clipping coupons:
- Clip all the coupons you can find from cereal boxes, magazines, newspapers, etc. Search for online coupon sites, and print out all the coupons you can. Once you have a pile of coupons, start listing them on eBay!
- Print coupons off of Swagbucks and Inbox Dollars! Not only will you save money with these coupons, you will also earn about 10 cents for every coupon you redeem!
===> Note: My favorite way to make money online is still affiliate marketing. Here’s why.

They should be about 30 or more years old, and the older the better.
What you do is cut out the ads, and sell them on eBay. Buy frames for the ads from the dollar store, and you can charge even more.
The more eye-catching the ad, the more it can sell for. Most sell for about $5, but some go for a whole lot more.

Income potential: 2/5
- Turn Your Talents into Cash with Online Competitions
Prizes will of course vary depending on the contest.
This may not be the best way to earn a sustainable income, but if you are really good at what you do it could definitely help.
- Win Free Stuff with Online Sweepstakes
Different companies are running sweepstakes all the time, so a good place to look is on social media.
You can also search for sweepstakes on sweepstake directories.
Though this is technically a way to make money online, it’s not reliable nor sustainable. Not by a long shot.
But, there’s always the chance that it could turn out to be a profitable way to spend 5 minutes doing each morning.
- Sell Your Digital Product on Clickbank
Using this method, you won’t have to do any of the promotion yourself. Clickbank affiliates will find your product, and trust me, they will do plenty of promotion.
That’s because the affiliates get a small cut for each sale. So, make sure to take this into account when pricing your product.
You want it to be affordable, but you also want to make sure it’s worth the affiliates’ time to promote it!
Income potential: 5/5
- Help People Solve Problems as an Online Consultant
One of the most profitable ways to turn that knowledge into cash is by offering a consulting service.
As a consultant or teacher, you’ll be mentoring and helping your students solve problems they are facing.
There are several online consultant sites such as Clarity, Coach.me, and Savvy, but you can also offer consulting services on your own site, or on LinkedIn.

- Find Unclaimed Money You are Owed
In fact, there are billions of dollars of unclaimed money in the United States alone.
This money comes from a variety of sources, such as life insurance policies, inactive bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed trust distributions, unclaimed refunds of mortgage insurance, forgotten retirement accounts, and more.
Let’s be realistic though:
Chances are slim that you have unclaimed money. Still, the possibility is there, so why not take a few minutes to check?
You can search for unclaimed money for free on Unclaimed.org. Click your state (or province or country), and it will take you to a page where you can start the process of locating any possible unclaimed cash.
- Cook Your Way to Cash with Online Recipe Contests
At any given time, there are plenty of online recipe contests that you can enter. Some offer as much a $5,000 for first place!

- Earn a Massive Income with Search Engine Optimization
You can make money with SEO by getting your own money-making websites to rank high, or by offering to do SEO for another company.

Income potential: 5/5

You could charge different amounts based on factors such as length, content, and delivery time. See what other successful voice over artists are doing, and model your service after theirs. Add a unique twist to it to really stand out.
You will have a lot of competitors since voice overs are one of Fiverr’s main categories, so you will definitely have to do some marketing on social media, your website, or by word of mouth.
Income potential: 4/5
- Need a Quick $1,000? Read a “How-to†Article and Offer the Process as a Service
What you do is read a detailed “how-to†article, and offer a service implementing the practices you learned in that article.
For example, you could read a detailed guide about “Guestographic link buildingâ€, and then approach bloggers and pitch them with a document explaining your service.
In the document, you can list everything offered in your service, as well as the price – which you can charge more for the more valuable your service is.
This may sound sort of confusing, so I recommend you read this article which explains the process in much more detail.
- Become an Online Mystery Shopper
Although most mystery shopping jobs require you to actually visit physical stores, there are a few online mystery shopping jobs which are mostly phone-based.
Pay varies depending on the job, but usually you’ll get at least $10 per job, and a reimbursement on any purchases you made.
Income potential: 2/5
- Do in-depth Research for Other People
Your job will be to answer questions – most of them very difficult, even with extensive research.
The pay is quite low, and for most people it’s below minimum wage. However, this is far better than doing surveys all day, although the latter would take less thought.
Income potential: 3/5
- Invest in Cryptocurrency for a Potentially Massive Profit
As with any kind of investment, investing in cryptocurrencies is certainly risky – especially since a lot of people believe “the bubble†is about to burst.
However, it’s also how a lot of people turned several thousand dollars into several million in just a few years. If you don’t mind taking risks, investing in cryptocurrencies may end up being one of the smartest risks you’ve taken.
Before you get started, make sure to do a lot of research (here’s a great place to start). This isn’t something you can just start doing thoughtlessly. You will thank yourself many times over if you take the time it requires to thoroughly research before you begin.
Investing in a cryptocurrency will cost money – nobody’s giving away free bitcoins. However, at the rate things are going, it’s not impossible to make back your investment in a matter of days….

- Keep Clients Informed of the Latest News in their Industry
As a news clipper, you would be doing all the research for them, weeding out any news that’s not worthwhile. At the end of the day, or at a specific time interval, you would send them all the worthwhile news.
It may be a bit difficult to find a job as a news clipper, but probably the best way to find employment would be to go to different networking events and pitch your service during conversations.

- Create and Sell WordPress Themes
Even if you can’t code, you can hire a developer on Upwork or a similar site to develop themes for you. Yes, this will have an upfront cost, but it could potentially pay off big time if you create truly great themes.
Themes should be responsive, secure, SEO optimized, and follow the WordPress coding standards. And they should look awesome, too.
Income potential: 5/5
- Charge People to Add Links to Your Directory
You will have to get a LOT of traffic before you can charge anything worthwhile, since there are so many other routes businesses can take to market themselves. In other words, you’ll have to make sure getting listed in your directory is worth the cost.
- Be a Professional Gamer

- Play professionally – many games have leagues and tournaments, and some of them offer cash prizes to the winners.
- Make Money Uploading, Downloading, and Sharing Files
What you do is upload your file to one of these websites, and then share the download link on your own website or with your social media followers. When someone downloads your file, you’ll be paid!
Make sure to do a lot of research before getting started with PPD. This industry is rife with scams, so be aware of that when making any decisions!
Income potential: 2/5
- Earn Money by Clicking Ads
You can literally join a PTC site, and start clicking ads. Each ad click is usually worth a fraction of a cent, rarely more.
A while back, I signed up with one of the largest PTC sites, Clixsense, and spent about two hours clicking ads. In the end, I had amassed $0.07! (not a typo). The reason I stopped (aside from the fact that it was a huge waste of time) was that there were no more ads to click!
Granted, there are other ways to make money on a PTC site – such as completing offers, and getting referrals. But neither of those options are worth the time when you consider how much more you could earn with other make money online opportunities.

- Report Bugs on Major Websites and Earn Up to $31,337
- Write Guest Posts on Major Sites for Clients
Guest posting is a powerful SEO tactic, but many people find it time consuming and would rather hire someone else to do it for them.
If your content is high quality, you can expect to earn a decent income doing this. A lot of content creators charge 5 to 10 cents per word, but charge what you believe your writing is worth.

- Start Your Own Forum
Forums with a lot of traffic can make a decent amount of money through ads and affiliate links.
One downside to starting a forum is that unless you have a ready and waiting audience, forums are extremely difficult to grow. And that is especially true if you are just starting out, with little to no experience. Don’t ask how I know, haha.

- Earn Real Crypto Cash for Being Active on Steemit
On the front page, you’ll see a list of the top blog posts, and it even shows how much money those posts have generated (sometimes in the thousand-dollar range).
Definitely worth checking out if you’re remotely interested in the cryptocurrency space!
Income potential: 4/5
- Make Money Selling Your Unwanted Gift Cards
You’ll probably have to sell them at a discount, so for example, a $20 gift card may only go for $15. It really depends on what company the gift card is for. Oddly enough, I saw some $20 gift cards going for a lot more than $20 (like really??) so yeah, the prices people will pay are all over the map.
- Join Medium’s Partner Program and Make Money from Your Posts
If you write awesome content and have a large following, you could turn this into a good side-hustle or even a full-time income. In fact, Medium reports that the highest-earning author in January 2018 earned a total of $11,316.74 for the month!

- Get Paid Bitcoin Cash for Using Yours.org!
Here’s why:
Unlike Facebook, or Twitter, or basically every other social network, you can actually get paid for using Yours.
You get paid in Bitcoin Cash when people vote or comment on your posts, tip you, or purchase your content. Yes, you read that right. You can hide a portion of your post behind a paywall, and charge people whatever you want in order for them to access the hidden content.
You can even earn money for voting other people’s posts. According to their FAQ page;
Quote:Each vote costs 25¢ and the payment goes to earlier voters and the creator. If many people vote on the same content after you, you profit.I made over $6 in the first couple of days as a member, and that was only from one post that took me a few minutes to write.
For example, suppose Alice makes a post. Bob votes on her post and pays 25¢ to Alice. Then Carol votes on the post and pays 25¢: 12.5¢ goes to Alice and 12.5¢ goes to Bob. Then Dave votes on the post and pays 25¢: 8.3¢ goes to Alice, 8.3¢ goes to Bob, and 8.3¢ goes to Carol. The first quarter of voters always profit.
The potential is huge.
To get started, you’ll want to sign up on Yours, click “depositâ€, and then sign up with Coinbase and purchase around $5 of Bitcoin Cash. Once that’s all done, you should be good to go!

Bonus: Other Easy Money-Making Ideas
- This is How to Get Products for Free
BzzAgent is a website that sends you products for free. You then have to try them out, tell your friends about them, and write a Bzz report on the product.
After that, you can keep the product forever.
Unfortunately, to become a Bzz agent, you have to fill out a lot of forms which ask for very personal information – such as your medical history, family tree information, and pretty much everything except your social security number. That right there is a deal breaker for most people.
- Make Hundreds in Passive Income by Using Your Car as Ad Space
There are several companies that pay you to wrap your car in an ad.
Wrapify pays by the mile, with some drivers making $400-$600 per month.
Carvertise pays monthly, usually at a rate of $100, but sometimes up to $200.
Both will require you to do a lot of driving in high-traffic locations. Don’t expect to get accepted if you live out in the middle of nowhere, or don’t drive very often.
The wraps are put on by the company for a set period of time. Don’t worry, the wraps will not harm your vehicle – in fact, they protect the paint! When your campaign ends, the company will remove the wrap.
Unlike the many car wrapping scams out there, neither of the two companies I listed require an upfront payment. It’s absolutely free to do, and is a great way to earn some extra passive income.
- Rent Out Your Driveway
There are a number of apps where you can list your parking space, name your price and the availability, and get paid whenever someone rents the space.
The pay varies considerably based on where you live. In San Francisco for example, you could make as much as $19 per day. In the Boston suburbs on the other hand, you could expect about $2.75.
Note that renting out a parking space is not legal in every jurisdiction. Portland, Oregon is one place where it’s not allowed. So, make sure it’s legal in your area before you try it!
Here are a few parking apps/websites to try out:
- Rent Out Your Spare Room with Airbnb
Some people think it’s creepy hosting strangers in their accommodations, but others don’t mind the idea – especially if they’re fairly compensated.
With Airbnb, you can take pictures of your room, put up a listing, and if someone is passing through your area and needs somewhere to stay, they can book your room for a fee.
Obviously, Airbnb is most effective in densely populated areas. But even if you’re in a smaller town, you may still get the occasional booking.
You can also host “Experiences†on Airbnb. Some examples include culture walks, learning to cook a new dish, and photography classes.
After spending a little time exploring Airbnb, you’ll see just how creative you can get.
Well, I guess that concludes the world’s most comprehensive list of ways to make money online. I hope you were able to find your dream internet job, or at least some inspiration!
