r/EarnExtraIncome

Hi! How do you make money through things online! I need money and soon. I am a 19 year old college student I do have a job!! I just don’t hardly get enough hours and it’s so hard to find a job in general. I don’t mind putting in the work but i’ve seen a few suggestions that just don’t work for me like selling clothing or furniture items i am unable to do that i live with my parents and they hate that!! I just feel so lost and really need the money, i owe my parents each week money and barely have anything for myself while already being in a few hundred dollars of debt. I live in a heavily abusive household and can’t make money if all they do is take, all I want is to repay my debts aswell.. i’m just so lost I’m just sad and don’t know what to do :( i’d appreciate everyone’s help..

I work full time, part time, and go to school. There’s no such thing as side hustles (DoorDash, uber, etc) where I live. I’m short on bills and for the first time in four years (the current place I live) I’m looking at not being able to pay my rent. That alone scares me beyond belief because I have kids. I’m open to literally any and all ideas. I’ve done the survey apps I’ve done upside and things like that but I need MONEY not 5cent surveys.

How to make money

I want to earn some money, and support my studies and hostel rent , even 5-10$ a day is fine, please tell me something I can do online/remote , I have a phone and a laptop

Currently need to desperately get out of the relationship I'm currently in. I am a SAHM for the past 7 years. I've been trying to find a job, but with no luck. No sob story here. Just really looking for any sort of way to make fast money so I can leave my marriage safely.

I work full time in an office and I'm a mom in the Midwest with a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old. Weeknights are basically survival mode, so I need a side hustle I can do mostly on weekends while the kids are around, without being on calls or glued to a screen for hours.

My realistic windows:

- Saturday and Sunday: 2 to 4 blocks of 30 to 60 minutes (naps, quiet time, or after bedtime)

- Occasionally 15 minutes here and there while they play in the same room

Constraints:

- No delivery driving

- I can do computer/phone work, but it has to be something I can pause instantly if someone needs me

- I don't mind learning a new skill if it's not going to take months to get started

- Goal: $100 to $300/month to start, with the option to scale later

I've already tried the super low paying stuff like surveys, receipt scanning, and random microtasks. Fine for pocket money, but not worth the mental clutter.

What are some legit weekend-friendly options that actually work for people here? I'm especially interested in ideas that fit a parent schedule, like batching tasks, using templates, or anything repeatable. If you do something like this, what does your workflow look like and how did you get your first few paid gigs or sales?

So me and my 2 friends are planning a roadtrip across india in a 17 yo car.

We have already used up our savings and need 500 usd more to pay for fuel etc.

Anyways to earn 500 bucks online??

I'm not gonna get too deep into it but basically unfortunate circumstances have come into my life and I have gained debt and am starting school and it's not a lot of debt but enough to where I won't be able to go to school , there are literally no jobs available near me trust me I have tried and so I'm on my last leg looking for possible ways to earn money in any way possible😭 , if anybody has any suggestions please let me know I've looked as well , flipping things etc , been down the 4 hours rabbit hole with chat gpt to try and find ways to make extra income but I just need a real humans feedback 😭I'm at a loss

Please let me know i am in dire need of them.
Please help and suggestions are valuable.
I am also doing full time job but need some extra bucks to cover up expenses.

I’m looking for anyway I can make some quick buckeroos by either texting or calling lonely people. Rents due lmao, Any recs?

Had a couple phones in a drawer plus the one I just upgraded from, so I finally tried an ecoATM kiosk to sell my phones. Writing this up because I looked for a real review I could trust first and mostly found fluff. Short answer, yes it's legit, and here's how it actually went.

Before I even drove anywhere I checked what my phones were worth online. That's the move, honestly. You punch in the model and condition, it gives you the offer, and then you decide if it's worth the trip. I almost didn't bother with one of them until I saw the number.

Now, it is really the fastest way I've found to turn an old phone into cash… and I used to flip iPhones back in the day as a side hustle.

So ecoATM has a bunch of  kiosks (usually inside Walmart and grocery stores) that buy used phones, tablets and smartwatches on the spot. They’re fully automated, so you just walk up and start selling.

You set the device in, it scans the model and checks the condition, and it hands you a cash offer in about 7 minutes.

The price scales with the device, so a newer phone you just upgraded from is worth real money, not pennies. I'd check your offer online first so you know the number before you drive anywhere. But even those older phones you have clogging up your junk drawer can be recycled, so bring them along.

On the legit question, it pays the price it quotes, no bait and switch, and the kiosk matched what I saw online. It scans your ID and snaps a photo, which is just theft prevention, and the machines sit in monitored stores so it feels safe. It even takes cracked, locked or dead phones.

Versus a carrier trade-in that locks you into a contract credit, or haggling with strangers on Facebook, this was cash in hand and done.

Got a phone or two collecting dust? See what they're worth here before you toss them.

Every post I find on this is either selling a course or vague to the point of useless. I've been burned by hype before so I just want real talk. What actually worked for you with zero capital?
