Cha-Ching! 5 Fast and Fun Ways to Earn a Little Extra Cash

It seems like everybody has a side hustle these days, and now you can too! Here are five fun, fast, and easy ways to make a little extra money on the side.

Do you have a dream vacation coming up? Or how about a new addition to the family? Maybe you want to invest in yourself with a home gym, dietician, or personal trainer. 

Plans like this will leave you with the feeling that you might have to make a little extra cash to bring your dreams to fruition. Fear not! This is an exciting endeavor with a wealth of opportunities. Here are five of our favorite ways to start side hustling today. (1)

1. Deliver Food and Groceries

If you live in an area that has Postmates, then you've got a lot of options. Delivering for them means you'll bring people their groceries, takeout food, and even retail purchases. Another big name is Doordash, delivering meals from local restaurants.

You can also consider UberEats. Uber developed an app where drivers will pick up your Indian, Thai, and other cuisines and deliver it straight to your door. Of course, in this line of work, you're heavily reliant upon people's generous tips, but you just might strike gold!

2. Be a Writer

All through high school and college, did your teachers praise your clear writing voice? Then, you should see if you can pick up a few freelance writing gigs. There are dedicated job boards just for this kind of side hustle.

You can check spaces like ProBlogger, Brian Scott's Online Writing Jobs, Ed2010, and more to find the latest listings. You'll have a bit more success if you try to select a niche, such as food blogging, travel, or real estate. 

3. Be a Bookkeeper

Maybe numbers are more your thing. In which case, you might enjoy spending your time as a virtual bookkeeper. Actually, you don't even have to be an accountant extraordinaire.

As long as you're pretty snazzy in Excel, you stand a fighting chance. You can take an online course to help you get started or, again, check those job boards to find the part-time gig of your dreams. 

4. Sell Your Clutter

There's one promise we can make to you with absolute certainty. Decluttering your home is one of the best decisions you'll ever make. It's physically, mentally, and emotionally freeing. Something about opening up the walls of your home by removing things you've ignored for months is extremely gratifying. 

So, take a stroll through your house. Is there an end table or desk that's lying under a pile of clutter? Get it out of there; it's not being used. Do you have working kitchen appliances you never use? How about a tasteful piece of jewelry or that old dog kennel your pup has outgrown? 

Hop on Facebook Marketplace or even good ol' Craigslist and post your wares. It's pretty stress-free. You can choose to meet in a public place or have the person stop by your front porch, exchange the cash, and go about their merry way. 

5. Take a Gamble

We mean it! Give online gambling a try. There are huge opportunities to make stacks of cash if you know how to play the game right. But that's the hard part. Where do you begin?

Well, you have online sports betting, casino games, table games, and straight betting. Take a look at this online casino to get started. You can kick things off with something as simple as slots while you get your feet wet and test your luck.
