Here are 12 legitimate ways to make 200-2K online this month!
1.Freelancing:
Do you have a skill, trade, or expertise on a topic you are extremely passionate about? Offer your services! Weather your great at using a camera or excellent in math or you’re a wiz at writing college essays, begin to offer your services for it!
Some great freelance platforms for this are Upwork, Fiverr, or Freelancer do do jobs like copywriting, graphic design, web development, photography, tutoring, digital marketing, and so much more!
2.Online Surveys and Market Research:
This is one of my favorite ways to earn that extra grocery money or book funds. Instead of spending your idle time scrolling, make it productive by taking online surveys to help companies with their marketing efforts. You can earn up to $250/ month doing this!
You can opt for online surveys, focus groups, or market research studies that will earn money and/ or gift cards. Websites like Swagbucks and Survey Junkie are great ones to get started earning passive income today!
3.Content Creation:
Do you take great pictures? Love making instagram reels? Creating short videos? Do you write amazing captions that get people really engaged? Companies will pay you big money for services like this.
Monetize your hobby and offer to make content for your favorite brands or services!
YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok are great platforms that give you this ability through ads, sponsorships, and affiliate marketing.
Now this of course goes more in-depth. It is going to require some work in the beginning, as you will have to personally reach out to brands and ask if they are willing to work with you. But hopefully with time, as your audience grows, brands will begin to reach out on their own!
4.Blogging
Of course, I am partial to this one as I myself am starting out my own exciting journey of earning money online through blogging!
Now before you spend the time, energy, and capitol it requires to start a blog, it’s important to know that there is a lot more than people assume when beginning blogging.
But if you are willing to put in the time and effort there can be a big pay off!
I am going to be sharing on this topic in future articles to come but some of the ways bloggers actually make money is through things like displaying ad’s on their website, offering sponsored posts, affiliate marketing, and selling digital products like e-books or courses.
5.Affiliate Marketing:
Want to know the secret behind every influencer making a living off of their content?? Affiliate marketing!
And the amazing thing? You don’t need a website or huge following to get started!
Every journey starts somewhere so finding affiliate programs that you can begin with and slowly grow your following will still earn you money now, while building something much more substantial for the future!
Post your affiliate links in instagram stories, put them in captions of reels promoting products, put them in the descirption on a YouTube video reviewing a product you love, send out your top 10 must have products to combat sugar cravings in an email!
You can get started for free using services like Mail Chimp to create a landing page and start collecting emails.
6.Teaching & Tutoring Online:
Expert in a subject or really knowledgeable in a skill or topic? You can turn what you know into extra income today by teaching online!
Platforms like VIPKid, Udemy, and Teachable allow you to create and sell courses, all from home.
If you already have a course but you are looking to level up its design and usability, platforms like Kajobi are worth the sticker! A bit more cost upfront, but they offer the ability to make gorgeous courses your clients will love.
7. E-commerce
Technology is a permanent part of our lives. And with the digital world growing stronger every day, the possibility of being able to make money online is greater than ever!
Online store’s are a place you can sell both physical or digital products. Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce (for your WordPress website), and Etsy are a few of the major players that make it easy to set up an e-commerce business.
8.Drop Shipping
If you already tried number 7, then you have a shop already set up! Only this time, instead of creating physical products or selling your digital products, you are going to be using the drop-shipping model.
In the drop-shipping model, it takes all the hassle and stress of inventory, packaging, and shipping out of the equation. You don’t ever have to hold any physical inventory! You simply set up a shop, promote products, and whatever products people purchase, your drop shipping supplier will package and ship it for you!
Of course, this all is a lot simpler on paper. There is a lot that goes into setting your store apart from others that require a bit of effort on your part of marketing and SEO. But if you take the time to learn and set up your shop the right way, the earnings are potentially endless!
9.Remote work:
Every day large companies are looking for extra help in customer service, paying anywhere from $20-$35/ hour. All with the ability to never have to leave your home.
Places like Remote.co, FlexJobs, We Work are great places to help you look and find a remote job. Another great alternative to remote work is to become a virtual assistant.
Office administrative, creative support, and customer support are some of the services you would be required as a virtual assistant. You can find employment on websites like Upwork or Virtual Assistant Forums.
10.Photography:
If you love taking pictures and shooting video on your free time, list and sell them! Places like Shutter Stock, Adobe Stock, and Getty Images are all companies that will allow you to sell your images, and when someone buys your print or video, you earn a commission! You can also sell photos as digital prints on Etsy.
If you are really skilled with a camera, offer services for birthdays, holidays, or special events to be the photographer!
One of my favorite things now are photographers who offer “set photo shoots.” They pick a specific place, like a park in autumn, and sell out time slots. You pay a few hundred dollars for a 15 minute session and the photographer will send you your pictures.
If photography is something you always do and are good at, this can be an incredible way to earn a second income.
11.Podcasting:
Have a lot to say about a topic? Start a podcast! Maybe you give really good relationship advice. Or people always come to you when their struggling professionally. Maybe you are a nutritionist and you love talking about food! These are all amazing things to start a podcast on.
You can then monetize it by attracting sponsors, selling merchandise, or offering premium content through platforms like Patreon.

12.Social Media Management:
Really good at marketing and cracking the latest algorithms on social media? This is a great way to earn tons of extra money every month.
You can do this by reaching out to small businesses, start in your local town, and offer them social media management services by helping them improve their online presence and engagement.
Remember, that success in making money online requires time, energy, and consistency. It’s not a quick fix or one stop shop to financial freedom.
You get out what you put in. And the more you dedicate yourself to improving, learning, and changing, the quicker you will get better at what you do and make more money as a result.
Stay patient!
