Make Extra Money Now With These Side Gigs | Part-Time Jobs | Ways To Earn Extra Cash
It’s the new year and I know exactly what you’re thinking…new year, new me, right? Well, I know firsthand that when it comes to reinventing oneself, it takes some major investing and sometimes our full-time gigs don’t cut it. Here are a few fool-proof ways to earn extra cash this year – whether it’s for extra cash to invest, save, plan a vacation, or buy a house, everyone can use these tips.
For most, the biggest reason why money is hard to save, is due to the lack of income. These super easy and no-hassle side gigs are perfect for when you need extra cash the most.
Work part-time.
Most big companies are always hiring around this time of year. With the influx of inventory, the extension of holiday store hours, and the increase in traffic, larger companies always open their doors to part-time, seasonal workers who are looking to make extra cash for the holidays. Companies like Target and Starbucks even extend their generous list of benefits to part-time employees. Check out my post on companies who are always hiring during the holidays, plus a full list of their benefits.
Sell your stuff.
Just last summer, I made over $1,000 selling my washer and dryer set, along with a refrigerator that wasn’t in use. I also made a few thousand selling furniture that wasn’t in use right before the holidays. It comes in handy when you’re a full-time blogger like myself and your payments are sporadic.
So take a look around and I’m sure you’ll find so many things you can get rid of and possibly make a pretty penny. If you’re a shopaholic like myself, you can sell your clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories online using apps like Poshmark and ThredUp.
Use Promo Code: BEINGECOMOMICAL for $5 off your first purchase on Poshmark. Earn $5 every time you refer your own friends after signing up.
Become an affiliate with your favorite brands.
Most people think you have to huge following to become an affiliate marketer, but the truth is – we ALL have a following. Whether you have 200 friends on social media, or 2,000 – everyone has an audience that they can sell to.
Affiliate marketing is as simple as recommending your favorite products to your friends and family and getting a commission after they buy. While some affiliates require you to have a website, others do not.
You could also sign up with Amazon and recommend a variety of products to your closest friends and family, directly on social media. This goes along with working part-time in order to save on your favorite brands.
Rent Out A Room
If you have an extra room that you’re currently not using, why not make it into a cash making machine? With apps like AirBnB, you can turn your extra space in your home into a way to earn extra income every month. Put that money back into your home, or savings while you’re at it!
Monetize What You’re Already Good At
Good at photography? Great at writing? Can you play a musical instrument? Get creative and let others know what skills you have and charge them if they seem interested in what you have to offer.
Weddings are a popular niche. As a photographer, you can find tons of brides wanting to save and offer them photography sessions for cheaper than your average photographer. She’ll then spread the word and BOOM! You have a solid side hustle. Also, clubs, restaurants and brides are always looking for musicians. So are parents, to help tech their children extra musical skills.
Or start a YouTube channel tutoring the internet on your specific skill. Publications are always hiring writers and bloggers as well throughout the year. Whatever you’re good at, it’s someone out there willing to pay you for your skills!
Take surveys and earn extra cash.

I know what you may thinking by now…
This may sound far fetch, or it may wrack your brain into thinking this is just WAY too much for me to do – on top of everything else I am already responsible for.
BUT HEAR ME OUT…
These mobile services ARE LIFE! Think about it like this…
Instead of riding to work alone and paying for gas every few days, sign up with Lyft and pick up someone on your way to work every morning and possibly on your way home every evening. The app allows you to enter YOUR destination and will match you with a rider in your area who is headed the same way. Cha-ching!
Same thing with services like Instacart and Doordash – while you’re shopping for yourself, pick up a few extra items for customers on your way home and earn some of those grocery funds right back.
That’s an average of $15 every time you ride to work, another $15 on your way home AND another $10 after you shop for groceries – and maybe more, depending on distance. If you get into the routine of using your vehicle for extra cash, you can easily rank in an extra $200 per week without breaking a sweat! Just imagine how much more you could earn if you set a schedule and took on one of these gigs part-time.
These are just a few ways to make extra money for the new year and beyond! Most of these gigs take up very little time and require minimum effort for you to bring in cash. Happy New Year!
