Ways To Make Money From Home Suggestions

Whether you are looking to earn extra money for a family summer holiday break or to top up the rainy day fund, there are many ways to make money from home.

If you look around any room in your home, you will see countless items you no longer use. All these could be used by other people who are willing to pay for them. Or if you enjoy writing/website design, then turn your hobby into a business that can earn you money!

These are just simple suggestions, but let’s have a look at some more ideas for how you can earn some extra money

Easy Ways To Make Money In Your Own Home

Start a blog

The setup you see in the image above is a typical blogger’s set up! A phone next to a laptop, with a notepad and pen for jotting down notes and a very strong coffee. Coffee is always needed when you blog, so you may need to invest in a good coffee machine!

Whilst blogging maybe considered a hobby by most, you can actually earn money from running a blog.

There really is so much more to blogging that simply writing words on a blank screen. This in theory takes up around 20% of a blogger’s time.

The behind the scenes work is never ending and there is always something to fix, change or maintain. A good phone/camera to take images is absolutely essential for life as a blogger.

In the short term, you are more likely to spend money becoming a blogger before you start earning money from it. However, the inital outlay is worth it if you see this as a long term contribution to your finances.

Find out how to take your blog to the next level in this post, allowing you to make some money from home!

Take Part In Online Surverys

If you have the spare time and a computer, then money can easily be earned from completing online surveys.

Companies pay for feedback on their product range and you may even get a sneak peak into product ideas for the future, with your input being more important than ever.

Working on online surveys may not guarantee you enough return for a break to sunnier climes in the short term, but every penny does add up! It can be hard going and boring, but companies will pay for your opinion!

It is well worth taking some time to research paid survey sites available and signing up to those you feel suit you the best.

Some of the best survey sites include:

  • Swagbucks (desktop and phone app)
  • Toluna
  • Prolific
  • i-say (formerly IPSOS)
  • OnePulse (a phone app)
  • Valued Opinions

Sell your unwanted items online

If you find yourself with a wardrobe filled with clothes you no longer wear that are still in good condition, then selling these online will certainly help you earn money.

Bundles of baby/toddler/children’s clothes always prove to be popular as these are so quickly grown out of and it is pointless buying designer clothes for children. That said, second hand designer clothes sell very well and it’s probably wise to sell these as single items.

Even if you do not have clothes to sell, you will no doubt have items you no longer use that someone else might. Don’t feel afraid to sell these online and make some money!

Besides online auction sites such as Ebay, other sites offer an online selling market place such as Facebook or Gumtree. If selling online seems daunting, then selling at flea markets when the weather is less unpredictable is a fantastic opportunity to sell items and meet new people!

Final thoughts on ways to make money from home

These are just a few of the more common ways to make money from home, but there are many opportunities out there.

You just need to find something that fits in with you, how much free time you have available and go for it! The more effort you put in, the more money you will make!
