Clever Ways To Make Extra Money This Year

Making more money for yourself and for your family is something all of us want to do. Being able to control our financial situation in a bigger way is what many of us strive for, and we don’t have to start a whole business to do this. 


Today we want to show you some simple ways you can make some extra money during your life without taking on a whole new job and taking too much time out of your life. These simple side-hustles will allow you to make some money as well as still enjoy your downtime this year. 



Online surveys 


The first simple way for you to make some extra money this year is to complete online paid surveys and rate different items and services. The great thing about completing online surveys is that you can spend as much time as you need on it whether it be 5 minutes between picking the kids up from school or an hour when you are relaxing in the evenings. It’s a flexible way to earn some extra money and it won’t take a lot of time out of your day. 



Freelance writing 


If you have an eye for creativity and writing is something you enjoy, becoming a freelance writer can be a fabulous form of income. You can balance freelance writing alongside a full-time job or work from home and control your work-life balance completely - it’s up to you. Freelance writing can be a very flexible and interesting role as you can be writing about different subjects every single day as well as writing different types of content depending on what the client needs. There is always a lot of opportunities to grow with freelance writing and this could even become a career for you down the line if you enjoy the creativity of it all. 



Clinical trials 



Before you worry, clinical trials don’t have to be anything invasive. In fact, recently there has been an uptake in virtual clinical trials that allow you to stay at home and take part in psychological studies and other small studies. If you want to make some money as a one-off, and you have some time free in your day - taking part in a clinical trial can be valuable to the medical community while also giving you some money to put into your savings. 



Selling artwork 


If you like to create artwork in your spare time, you could be missing out on the chance to make some money for yourself this year. As an artist, you will be able to set up a shop on Etsy or even your own gallery website to help sell some of the pieces you have accumulated over the years. This is a great way to clear some space in your home as well as make some extra money for yourself and your family. 


There are lots of great ways for you to make some money at home this year, and we wanted to share some of them that you can try easily this month.
