14 Ways to Make An Extra $1000 A Month From Your Home
Working multiple jobs creates extra income to help individuals make ends meet or generate additional revenue. Side hustles allow people to enjoy a bonus gig to ease their monetary worries. With the digital age growing each day, new side gigs emerge on what seems like a daily basis. Here are 14 of our favorite ways to make an extra $1,000 monthly on top of your salary.
1. Uber Eats Driver
All you need to start driving for Uber Eats is a license, vehicle insurance, and access to a car. You input information about the car, yourself, and your area; the app does the rest. Open the app, click Go Online, and wait for the food orders. A positive aspect of Uber Eats is that the orders pop up with estimated costs. That means you never have to guess how much money you might make if you take one order. Pro tip: You can use a rental car to drive a delivery.
2. Doordash
Doordash is similar to Uber Eats, but it is a different company. Many people download both apps at the same time to maximize their earnings. You need the same credentials for Uber Eats and Doordash driving.
3. Dog Walking
Notice a neighbor always going out of town and struggling to find care for their dogs during their trips? Ask them if you can walk and watch their dogs for them. Another way to get this gig is to find people who work full-time jobs and need someone to take their dogs out during the day. I know a few gig dog walkers who make between $50 and $150 per day walking canines.
4. House Sitting
Get paid to sit around and watch paint dry. Not really, but kind of. When a family or a person goes out of town, who watches their house? No one, unless they assign a family member, friend, or stranger, to tend to their empty abode while they venture away. House sitters perform multiple tasks, such as cleaning, watering plants, tending to mail, and perhaps watching pets. The main goal is to ensure the house remains habitable before the owners return.
5. Auto Detailing
Keep your automobile baby in prime condition thanks to a detail job. Auto detailing equates to a makeover for a car. A detailer cleans and polishes the interior and exterior of the car, making a once run-down vehicle appear brand new. Vehicle owners adore their cars. In other words, people put lots of money into prettying up their rides.
6. Babysitting
Look after someone’s kids for a lump sum of cash. Many babysitters arrive a few hours before bed at night and leave long after the kids fall asleep. This means that you get paid to sit around. In college, I babysat for a few families, one of which paid me to come over after the kids fell asleep. I watched TV while their parents took a night out in town. They returned at 4 am several times, willing to pay a high price for their nights of freedom.
7. Donating Plasma
If you weigh at least 110 pounds, you can sell your plasma. Of course, you must deal with needle insertion and blood withdrawal to effectively donate plasma. If you read this and don’t get queasy, you’re a possible contender. Different centers pay different amounts per plasma donation and select places to offer donors bonus incentives.
8. Selling Crystals
A friend of mine lives in Colorado and mines for crystals every weekend. He finds them in the mountains, cleans them up, takes photos, and sells them for a large profit. He sells on Etsy, though multiple shop owners find success through social media, websites, eBay, or Amazon.
9. Cleaning
Whose house couldn’t use a deep clean? Many people loathe cleaning days, putting them off so long that dust piles should start paying rent. Several cleaning companies charge a premium for services, although individuals perform the same tasks for half the price.
10. Flipping Items
Flipping items will be a popular side hustle in 2024 thanks to platforms announcing free or discounted items like Facebook Marketplace and Freecycle. Another way to find free treasures is to drive around and look for items placed on the curb. Take these items home, tidy them up, and turn them for a profit. Some people also favor dumpster diving so they can flip items.
11. Cakes
Cake design is a growing market. Many people yearn for a picturesque birthday cake, one with a choice theme and a great taste. Cake decorators price baked goods based on the cost of ingredients, design, work, and skills needed to create the confection.
12. Translation
Websites, YouTube videos, companies like Apple and McDonald’s, small businesses, lawyers—virtually everyone can use a translator’s services. Bilingual and multilingual people receive compensation for speaking several languages. Pricing differs between places.
13. Photography
Do you share a bond with a camera? Do you have a knack for taking photos of nature? Do you love capturing live music on film? Why not get paid for it? Popular methods for photography gigs include headshots, wedding shoots, baby pictures, live music events, nature displays, and party photography. Verse yourself in the style(s) of photography you want to pursue and begin marketing on social media.
14. Tutor
Has a specific skill stuck with you since childhood? Arithmetic, problem-solving, critical thinking, language learning, or anything? If so, offering tutoring services in the specialty could lead to a steady stream of additional income. Charge per hour or session for optimal earnings.
