Although, you should always be careful about such gigs, because there’s a great scope for scams in them. You can join Reddit forums to ensure you don’t get tricked.

Make use of that spare bedroom

If you have a spare bedroom in your house, you can list it on rental sites and make a good side income from it. All you have to do is clean and maintain the property, pay the service fee, and set up home goods. There are many websites like Airbnb, which would allow you to list your home or spare bedroom for renters.

Setup: Quick. You can list your room/house on the website and accept reservations on the same day.

List your car on a renting service

City-people usually don’t make use of their cars for weeks or days. If you have a car that you don’t use much, you can put it out for renters and earn some money in the process. Services such as Turo and Getaround allow you to rent out that idle car on an hourly or daily basis. And you don’t have to worry about car damage as the services take a cut from the earnings to ensure car protection during the renting time.

Setup: It takes around 30 minutes to list your car on Getaround or Turo.

Payment: Steady to medium. For the first trip to Turo, the payment is done after a few days.

Afterward, the payment is done within approximately three hours after the rental has ended.

The payment is deposited directly in your account and may take a few days to reflect in your bank account. If the rental is longer than a week, you’ll receive payments in parts every week.

Prerequisites: You need a car of your own. If your car is on a lease, you need to check the conditions on your agreement to ensure that you can share it with the renters.

Your car will have to fulfill some basic requirements regarding model, mileage, etc.

You’ll need a current valid driving license.

You should be above 21-years-old to list your car for most of the services.

Take online surveys for small earnings

If you’re looking for small side earnings, you can take online surveys for a meager income. The survey sites do not usually pay out many dollars, and many websites only pay in the form of gift cards and not cash. Survey Junkie and Swagbucks are one of the most popular sites offering to pay for surveys.

Setup: Quick. All you have to do is register on a survey website and commence taking surveys.

Payment: Medium. Payment time varies from one site to another and also on how much time you invest in the surveys.

Some of the websites only let you withdraw the cash after you earn a minimum amount. For example, InboxDollars lets you use your cash once you’ve reached the threshold of $30.

Some sites pay through issue points that are redeemable as cash, or through gift cards.

Prerequisites: You need to fulfill the minimum age criteria which are 13-18 for most of the sites. Different surveys have different requirements. You might be qualified for one and not qualified for another.

Join TaskRabbit

Do you like DIYs and actually like assembling Ikea furniture? You can make money doing just that. Websites such as TaskRabbit connect you to people offering to pay for small tasks like assembling DIY furniture. They have categories of small tasks related to moving, delivery, cleaning, handyman services, etc.

Setup: Medium. You have to sign up at TaskRabbit and create your profile fairly quickly, but you’ll have to wait for your profile to be approved.
