Guest Post by Joe Land

There are many people out on the web today who are looking to make money online but want to do it in their spare time. Maybe they have a different job and are just looking for a little extra income to pay taxes or something. There are many online jobs that can take a lot of time and effort to set up and eventually make money with. Like anything being really successful takes a lot of time. However there are a ways to generate a decent amount of money without taking too much of a persons time. There are many different ways to make money online and in this post I will talk about a couple of ways that don’t require as much work and effort as lets say blogging. These ideas can be used by people who are short on time or by people who just want to make a little money fairly quickly.

Paid Surveys

Paid surveys are a very good option for people looking to make money in their spare time for a couple of reasons. First it takes very little time to sign up with a couple of sites. People make money with these sites by taking surveys and getting paid a small amount per survey. The average is usually somewhere between $.50 and $10.00 depending on the survey site and the length of the survey. The reason survey sites are great for people in their spare time is because they can send the surveys directly to your email which allows you to take them at anytime. Surveys don’t take particularly that much time so its great for people in a tight schedule. Another nice thing about legit surveys sites are that they are free to sign up with. I would recommend signing up with a couple to see how it goes at first.

Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk pays you to complete small tasks that can’t be done by computers. They are usually pretty easy and pay a small amount. This is a great opportunity because it is owned and run by Amazon. These jobs can be done at anytime which makes it convenient to anyone.

Ebay

Ebay can also be a great way to make money in your spare time because you don’t really have to put any effort into it too make money. We all have items that we don’t want anymore but could be used by someone else. Why not sell it on Ebay? All you have to do is take the time to set up the item page and you can make some money in your spare time.

    Do not forget about affiliate marketing, starting your own email list, or even creating your own product for a residual income.

    Good post these are good ways I just wanted to add to your post with some other ideas.

    From the ones you listed Ebay is prob the best in my opinion. I would recommend dropshipping for beginners Salehoo, and Worldwide brands are a couple legitimate companies to deal with

    Good post!

    I am not a fan of the surveys and mechanical turk is only good for those who live in areas where the cost of living is low. I would say that a spin on ebay would be better. Create a site with links to ebay and you could start driving traffic. You can find products like phpbay that will let you create an ebay store - that way you don't have to "stock" items. Of course if you've got stuff you'd like to sell, by all means do that on ebay, but also try making your own site - I do that and it works well.

    Three cheers for spotting another emerging trend on the road toward the professionalization of blogging. There’s such a clear analogy between blogs and magazine publishing, for bloggers to adopt the practice of using an editorial calendar makes a good deal of sound good sense. Erhm, thanks for the nudge!

    Making money in spare time actually requires us to "spend a time". So, if it really a spare one, why not use it to make money? I am thinking also on those who quit their job and make money online as a profession...huge task await them!AT that time, it would no longer be a job on spare time, it would be a full time job!
