Launch a Blog

We’ve all heard about the self-made millionaires on YouTube or on other platforms that have managed to make it big by documenting whatever it is they’re passionate about. Well, okay. Let’s get one thing straight. You probably won’t become an internet celebrity overnight.

But you can start by launching a blog and, over time, you’ll start generating revenue, surpassing $500 monthly if you keep at it. The key is to partner with advertisers like Google who will use your platform to show ads!

People are always looking for inspiration online, so starting a blog about your passions and even daily life could be your own personal gold mine.

Answer Surveys

Yes, nowadays you can make money by sitting at home and answering surveys. True, you won’t generate a ton of cash, and how long it’ll take you to reach $500 is up for debate, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a try.

Swagbucks, for example, offers gift cards in exchange for your time answering surveys or performing other activities on your computer. But there are also other platforms that offer the same rewards. You don’t need to work long hours, either. For example, you can even answer a survey or two while you’re waiting for your dinner pasta to boil!
