Storage Space Leasing: Turn Your Extra Space Into a Storage Unit

  Do you have an   underutilized garage, shed, basement, or attic ? Are you willing to clean it up? Then you’re a good fit for   Neighbor.com , a peer-to-peer (P2P) platform that connects folks who need extra storage space with those who have it in spades and aren’t using it. Neighbor.com  advertises rental rates at 50% of the going rate for self-storage units, although you’ll earn a bit less than that after the platform takes its cut. Still, that’s quite a bit of passive income for doing basically nothing at all. . P2P Lending: Put Your Excess Capital to Work (Part 1) The  sharing economy  has created new opportunities for regular people to put their excess capital to work. Two opportunities are worth calling out here: Real Estate Crowdfunding .  Real estate crowdfunding  websites like   Groundfloor  allow everyday investors to lend money for real estate projects. Loans return anywhere from 5% to 25%, depending on their risk level. If you’re looking for other ways to invest indirectly

Virtual Tutoring: Sell Your Expertise

  Virtual  tutoring   is a more personal way to earn money by sharing your subject matter expertise. Unlike online courses, which are available to dozens or even hundreds of paying customers at a time, tutoring sessions are usually one-on-one affairs. However, you can have as many students as your schedule allows. As with online teaching, to maximize your chances of success as an online tutor, stick to subjects you know well. Use a reputable and high-visibility venue, structure your sessions sensibly, price your services in line with the market, follow scheduling best practices, and promote yourself enthusiastically (or choose a platform that does so on your behalf). The best places to find online tutoring jobs are platforms that focus specifically on tutoring, such as   Education First ,   VIPKid , and  Chegg . Both pay set hourly or per-session rates based on tutors’ chosen subjects — for instance, computer science tutors generally earn more than English tutors. Chegg starts tutors a

Online Surveys and Focus Groups: Sell Your Opinions

  Your opinions are more valuable than you might think. Countless companies pay handsome sums to learn more about their target audiences’ motivations and preferences. Online Surveys You can take online surveys in the comfort of your home whenever you please: during working hours, over lunch or dinner, when you have a free moment in the evening, or in the sleepless wee hours. Time Investment Although your answers must be honest and make sense, you don’t need to devote your full attention to online surveys. That’s no doubt music to multitaskers’ ears. And you can invest as much or as little time as you like. Individual surveys can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to 20 or 30 minutes to complete, and you can do as many or as few as you want in one sitting. Earning Potential Online surveys will help you make money online, but they won’t make you rich. If you sign up with multiple survey companies and diligently complete your allotted tasks, you can earn a bit more than minimum wage —

Blogging: Sell Your Insights

Image
  Blogs aren’t just venues for bored people to share their thoughts about anything and everything. They can also be a legitimate source of income for aspiring bloggers keen to make money online. Your blogging journey begins with an idea. This is an early make-or-break decision for your blog — if it’s not entirely unique, your idea must at least be sharper and more compelling than your competitors’. You should know your blog’s subject matter cold — ideally from personal experience or formal training — and have no trouble writing fluently about it. Over time, you’ll tighten up your writing process and produce great content in less time. Next come the nuts and bolts: choosing and buying a Web domain, hosting and designing your site, and planning content. While this is a lot of work to put in before publishing your first post, resist the temptation to cut corners. You’re laying the foundation, hopefully, for a long-term endeavor. Once you’ve created a quality site and built a following, th

  Make Money on YouTube Momentum has been picking up in video monetization, said Hogue from My Work From Home Money. He suspects that vlogging will take over from podcasting once high-speed internet is universal.  Popular ways to  make money on YouTube  are monetizing ad views, running paid promotions, and being part of the YouTube Partner Program, among other opportunities.  Affiliate Marketing If you have an audience through a website, social media, or other platform, you can generate some extra income by including affiliate links.  Affiliate marketing  is when you earn a commission on the sale of someone else’s products. A common way is to have a link to another company’s website or product in your own content—if a reader clicks on your link and buys the product, you get a cut of the sale. The  Amazon Associates Program  is a well-known affiliate network; you can find other affiliate marketing opportunities on platforms like  CJ Affiliate ,  Rakuten LinkShare ,  ShareASale , and man

Sell Your Used and Unwanted Items

Image
  Clearing out and tidying up your home will likely leave you with piles of things you no longer need or use. You can   bring in some extra cash   by selling items online that are in good condition.  There are lots of virtual marketplaces where shoppers can go to find a variety of things.  Ebay  is a popular place to sell just about any used item online. Other sites may be more specialized, such as  thredUP , which is clothes-specific, or  Decluttr , which focuses on cellphones, tech, CDs, DVDs, games, and books. If you prefer to keep your sales local, you could check out sites like  Craigslist , or keep things offline by having a garage sale or taking your items to a consignment store.

Soft skills

  On the other hand, soft skills are more general. They can also be developed in a variety of places: in school, on the job, volunteering, and sometimes people are just born with them. Soft skills often involve working with others. A few examples of soft skills for your resume include: Communication Cooperation Time management Leadership Empathy  Active listening  Public speaking Problem-solving Computer literacy  Soft skills might not be strict requirements for many positions, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t important. In fact, because many applicants to a given position will likely already have the hard skills required to perform that job, soft skills can make a huge difference when it comes to setting you apart.

Hard skills

  Computer programming Web design Technical writing Marketing copywriting Applied math Engineering Heavy machinery operation Research skills Legal analysis Medical diagnostics Psychological counseling  Electrician skills Typically, hard skills are part of the hard requirements for a job. If you don’t have chemical engineering as one of your hard skills, you will likely not be hired for any job that requires it. To learn hard skills, it’s a good idea to attend a trade school, junior college, or four-year university and take the necessary classes.                  Hard Skills Example            1.computer programming            2.Technical Writing            3.Teaching            4.heavy machinery operating            5.Psychological Counseling There may also be industry-led training programs that you can apply to, such as initiatives to train employees in programming and other skills for growing industries.
