Best Ways to Make Money from Home (2)
1. Create and Sell Your Own Printables
Do you have an eye for design and organization? You could start up an Etsy account or build your own digital ecommerce website to sell printables. Selling digital products is a great way to earn passive income. All it takes is the initial time to create and post your favorite pieces to earn money while you sleep. Keep in mind, you may have to pay for your website, an Etsy business account, and an illustrator subscription to create the product.

2. Sell Your Unused Clothes Online
If you have unused clothes taking up space in your closet, sell them! Post them on websites like Poshmark, thredUP or The RealReal to make some cash. Each season, you can clean out your closet and earn enough to buy a few new pieces or add to your savings. Start by taking photos of the items you don’t want and post them online to see how much you could earn.

3. Become a Product Tester
New inventions normally go through countless rounds of testing. These testing stages ensure every bug is figured out before it reaches paying customers. In most cases, brands will pay you to try out these new products. Toluna, Nielsen, Vindale Research, and Pinecone Research are a few platforms that help you find products to test for some extra green.

If you know how to make special treats and love to be in the kitchen, you could start a business based on your skills. You could earn $200–$400 a month by taking in special baking requests for up to 20 hours per week. Or, you could meal prep for neighbors that don’t have time or don’t like to cook. Companies like Snap Kitchen have capitalized on these services, yet yours could be fresher and have a small business touch.
