Yes, making money without a conventional job and its stresses and trials is more than just fantasy. You can actually have a life and make plenty of money to cruise through with. Thanks to ideas and platforms new and old, there is a spectrum of money making ideas and vocations on offer that don’t involve a rigid 9 to 5 lifestyle or worse. Some of these have been around for quite a while and some are results of the digital revolution; some of these require just as much effort- if not more- as a conventional job while others are more a matter of awareness than effort. But from pocket money to substantial savings, these money making ideas are here to help you live the life you always dreamed of- from the comfort of your favorite armchair or up and on the go! 13 Ways to Make Money without a Job 1. Start an Online Store If you can create a product others need or want, then you don’t have to rush from door to door trying to sell it. Set up an online store with websites such as Amazon or Etsy and make good money at the click of a button. 2. Freelance on the Go! A freelancer myself, I can attest to the convenience and potential of freelancing. Whatever your skill set and expertize, you can make a lot more money if you freelance. Register with your local recruitment agencies, search for jobs online or in the papers, or offer your services through


freelance portals such as Odesk and Elance. It may take a little time to kick off, but the money can be just as good as a full time job once you get going. 3. Recycle and Resell Your Stuff Don’t throw away your old and ignored possessions- you can make some serious money if you are smart about just how you dispose your stuff. From books to crockery, furniture to fashion- there is always a little money to be made. You can sell your stuff online such as on EBay or try second hand stores to find potential buyers. Alternatively hold a garage sale to de-clutter your home and get paid for it. 4. Blog Your Way to Riches Blogging can be a seriously rewarding pastime in the twenty first century. From Huffington Post to Perez Hilton, TechCrunch to Mashable- there are many tales of blogging success and smarts. Start your own blog to join the bandwagon and enjoy the party. 5. Tutor and Teach You may not be employed in a full time job, but those skills and knowledge you possess can be put to great use by passing it on. Whether teaching a vocational skill, an academic subject or just a dear passion, tutoring can be extremely rewarding- personally and monetarily. 6. Write a Book With online and self-publishing a reality in this day and age, writing a book can be a seriously smart move. An online e-book may not always make you the kind of money you desire- unless you employ an extensive marketing campaign- but can be a great lead for your business or primary services on offer. 7. Dog Walking & Baby Sitting While so many people are caught up in the routines and demands of their jobs, you can make cash by helping them keep up with them. Dog walking and baby-sitting may sound straightforward, but can be organized into a serious income source for you. 8. Street Performing If you have a musical talent, magical expertise or theatrical skills and you love an audience then street performing may be an option to consider. Busking can help you get through even the toughest spots. 9. Focus Group Participation Researchers and scientists need people like you can me when studying a subject and collating results. Focus group participation may not be the most widely advertised opportunity, but it definitely exists- check with your local university or watch out for adverts in your local paper. 10. Ghost Shopping and Mystery Shopping Love to shop till you drop? Imagine being paid to do exactly that! Ghost shopping- where you shop for a client too busy to do it themselves- or mystery shopping- where you help a retailer research and review their store and staff- are two ways you can make money while indulging in the many offerings at your favorite store or mall. 11. Affiliate Marketing


Affiliate marketing lets you make a sizeable commission of products, goods and services you advertise for your clients. Using the power of word of mouth to rake in the cash, it is usually associated with blogging. So if you haven’t got a blog yet, get going! 12. Scrap Metal, Cans and Bottles If you are a beer or soda enthusiast, you can enjoy the perks of your drink long after the last drop is gone. Aluminum cans can fetch as much as 5 to 10 cents per can which may not sound like much, but added up can bring you decent cashback through the year. Scrap metal, plastic bottles and glass too can be recycled and sold instead of just being ditched in the interest of the planet and your wallet. 13. Online Surveys Barter your time, opinions and insight for reward points, PayPal credit and gift cards with online survey sites such as Opinion Outpost and Survey Savvy.
