Food, rent and bills aren’t getting any cheaper, so whether you’ve got a job, are juggling a couple of jobs, have your own business or are freelance, it never hurts to have diversified income streams. In other words, get yourself a side hustle and preferably one that can be automated as much as possible. Not one that needs loads of time or you to be live/in-person.



Ideally, what you want is a simple way to make $100 per day. Because that will add up. If we’re talking business days, then that’s a minimum of $2,000 a month. However, if you have a system that operates every day (with people buying regardless of whether it’s a weekday or weekend), then you could be talking about an extra $3,000 a month.

The key is finding ways to do this without it taking loads of extra time. And also, not using scam or spam methods. Extra cash without the feeling that you’re doing something borderline illegal or morally messy. Below, let’s look at quick ways to make an extra $100 every day.

There are numerous companies paying people in gift cards and cash (via checks, bank transfers or PayPal) to answer online surveys.

If you’re happy to give your opinion on one thing or another, whether it’s government policies, TV shows, the flavor of chocolate or the color of a company logo, then you can make money answering online surveys.

It’s easy money and soon adds up once you’re doing enough of them every week. Examples of where you can do this include Swagbucks.com, SurveyJunkie.com, IpsosiSay.com and numerous others.

Are you a designer or have you ever designed anything that would look great on a T-shirt, a coffee mug or a throw pillow? Well, another way to make money without needing to invest in printing, stock or even doing much marketing is print-on-demand.



All you have to do is design something and drive people via marketing channels (Instagram and TikTok are probably the two best for anything visual) to whichever platform you are using for the printing and shipping when customers order products, like Printify.com or Amazon Merch.

For writers or aspiring writers, one way to make money without being a full-time or part-time/freelance writer is to be an editor. Being an editor is like writing, without the time invested in writing something from scratch.

You could proofread and edit anything from marketing copy to articles or you could throw some search engine optimization (SEO) work into the mix and make improvements to articles for SEO purposes.

An easy way to find a few hours’ worth of a week of editing work is through platforms like Scribbr.com and Upwork.com.

A bit like print-on-demand, making money through eCommerce is easier when someone else is handling stock and shipping products to customers.

One way to do this is with a Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) drop shipping online store. You need to pick what your store sells and this can depend on whether you are selling something you know lots about or are simply following market trends.

Then you need to factor in profit margins and the margins Amazon or other eCommerce platforms will take for doing the packing and delivering. Once you know what your gross margins will be, you can work out how many products it will take to earn an extra $100 or more per week.



Creating and selling online courses is a great way to turn your knowledge into cash. As long as you’ve got something interesting or useful to write down, get it designed easily using tools like Canva.com and then you can upload and sell it through platforms like Sellfy.com, Udemy.com, Teachable.com or several others.

Look at what other creators are charging for similar courses or eBooks, then price accordingly. Say you sell yours for $5, once 20 people have bought it every week, that’s your $100.

Make sure to work out the best marketing channels and promote it every week to keep sending new customers to your online course.
