r/EarnExtraIncome

Hi all! Recently separated from partner and left covering all expenses so I’m left with pennies each month! I’ve looked for a second job but my main job is shift work so no one will take me; warehouses want more consistency, bars want experience and someone younger, building sites want experience/more consistency, my car is very old and dying so deliveries would actually cost me, security work requires a licence, teaching English online requires a qualification/experience… I’m lost

I’m 35, male and don’t really have any qualifications or experience in niche areas. I work a combination of early shifts, late night shifts and nights so employment agencies have said they can’t find anything that fits around this.

Any help/advice people have would be hugely appreciated and thank you in advance!

I need to some money fast I've been injured and can't really work nothing but remote can someone please help me find something so I can make 500 in a just a few days.

Wussup people, I’m lookin for help to make a lor bit of money for rent this month after I missed a few days of work, I can’t download apps nd stuff rn because I owe Apple atm, so if anyone knows any way for me to make bout $50 - $100 before Friday it would help a lot, I don’t want a “failure to pay rent” on my record, preciate it.

I’ve seen this side hustle mentioned in the past and was surprised how many operators have recurring monthly customers.

What are your start up costs and how much are you making? How are you marketing yourself?

Hi everyone. I'm a school graduate student and my only resource to earn income is my phone rn. Please recommend some side hustles that are worth it by phone.

I kept seeing Mistplay recommended everywhere so I downloaded it and started looking for similar apps to stack alongside it. Found a few that actually pay just as well or better depending on how you use your phone.

Here's the honest breakdown 👇

1. Mistplay
The original. Android only, earn points playing games you'd play anyway, cash out via PayPal or gift cards. Reliable and consistent but the earning rate is slow if you're not putting in hours. Best for casual players who want something passive.

2. Snakzy
Same concept as Mistplay but with a streak and milestone system that stacks bonuses on top of your base earnings. You earn coins by playing featured games and completing in-game tasks. Important: you have to install and launch games from inside the Snakzy app for your progress to track. Coins redeem for PayPal or gift cards.

3. Bigcash
$15 sign-up bonus. Not strictly a game app but you get paid to test apps and complete tasks. Mobile web, works on any Android. Better hourly rate than Mistplay for most people. Fast PayPal cashouts.

4. Testerup
Get paid to test apps before they launch. Tasks pay $5 to $100 each. No competing, no grinding levels. If you want the best hourly rate of anything on this list this is it.

5. MyAppFree
Get rewarded just for downloading free apps. No games, no skill, no time commitment. Lowest effort on this list and runs passively alongside everything else.

Stack Mistplay and Snakzy for passive game earnings, add Bigcash and Testerup if you want to actually make real money. All Android friendly.

What are you all using? Always looking to add more to the rotation 👇

I've been running Nielsen Pulse in the background for a few months and it's genuinely one of the most passive things I've set up. Here's how it works and what I actually got out of it.

You download the app, fill out a short eligibility survey, then grant a few permissions: location, notifications, and their research VPN. That's it. After setup you don't have to do anything. It runs quietly and deposits daily reward points automatically just for going about your day. Link your streaming accounts for one-time bonuses on top of that.

Honest take: the daily earnings alone won't change your life. But for something you install once and never touch again, it's real money for zero effort.

Sign up for Nielsen Pulse

Stack these alongside it for real money:

1. Bigcash
$15 sign-up bonus. Get paid to test apps. Mobile web, works on any phone. Fast PayPal cashouts. This covers the most ground for least effort.

2. Testerup
Get paid to test apps before they launch and give feedback. Tasks pay $5 to $100 each. No skill required, no competing. Best hourly rate of anything on this list.

3. MyAppFree
Get rewarded just for downloading free apps on your phone. No competing, no purchases needed. Lowest effort on this list, runs alongside everything else.

4. Freecash
$10 sign-up bonus. Surveys, offers, and games. If you want to be more active this is where I make the most money. $40+ days are realistic if you stack the offers.

Nielsen Pulse runs in the background while you do the others. Happy to answer questions about setup or what the permissions actually do.

Im currently 19 and 6 months pregnant, its hard finding a job because i don't have a matric certificate, Im currently on my own since my adoptive parents wrote me off since im pregnant and the trust fund they received from my belated father each month to look after me is finished, so im in a difficult situation and need a real side hustle to start with online, do you have any suggestions?

I'm a 52-year-old mom in the Midwest trying to build a steady extra income stream. Part of the reason is I want to stop being the emergency fund for my 31-year-old son. I'm setting boundaries, but I also want to replace that instinct to help with a plan I can actually control.

My situation and limits:

- I work full time, mostly remote, and can realistically do 8-10 hours per week, mostly evenings and some weekend time.

- I do not want anything that requires driving around. I have bad night vision and winter weather makes that stressful. I also do not want to be on camera or build a big social media presence.

- I'm fine with computers and paperwork. I type fast, I'm organized, and I'm comfortable learning new tools.

- I would like something that pays cash, not only gift cards, and is not a scammy, too-good-to-be-true thing.

I keep seeing mixed advice. Online surveys and micro-task sites look low pay, but some people say focusing on one skill like proofreading, basic bookkeeping, virtual assistant work, or customer support is better. I also hear conflicting things about selling digital printables, transcription, and gig platforms.

If you were in my shoes, what one or two paths would you pick for the next 60-90 days to realistically add a few hundred dollars a month? And what would you avoid completely?
