5 Easy Ways to Earn Pocket Money Online

If you are in need of an additional source of income, the Internet offers a bunch of doors of opportunity. While there is a lot of money-making potential online these days, there are even more scams designed to take your money rather than provide it.

Here are 5 ways you can earn an honest income using the Internet…

Sell Your Stuff Socially

There are many ways to sell stuff you no longer need through social media. Take a look around Facebook for local yard sale groups where you can post pictures and pricing to locals. You can also sell your items through Craigslist to give your stuff a wider audience.

Sell Your Wares

If you are a crafty, creative person, put your hobby out for the world to see. Sell your handcrafted items on Etsy.com, through eBay, or through your own social media page. This is a great way to earn some extra money and develop a following for your skills. With proactive marketing, you could potentially turn your side gig into a full time career.

Write Something

Check out ads on Craigslist and other sites for paid writing gigs or email your favorite blog site and find out how to be a paid contributor. If you have a knack for putting words on paper, you can earn a good supplemental income writing for online blogs or websites.

Design It

If you like playing around with graphic design programs, consider helping small online businesses design logos or website graphics. People are often looking for print ads or other graphic designs they own outright rather than risk heavy fines from trademark infringement.  Websites like 99Designs.com allow designers to compete for cash through their ongoing design contests.

Social Media Work

There are people from all walks of life that need social help. From small business owners to huge corporations, opportunities are there to help with social media upkeep. If you know the ins and outs of social media, you can help establish a social media presence and get paid for your time contributing to the page. Your goal is to help increase the visibility and the following of a company or a product. Business owners that do not have the time to spend on their social media marketing will pay others to do so.
