Do you struggle with being there for your kids and wanting to make money at home?

If you’re anything like me, then you and your family could use some extra income long before the kids are off to school. You’re probably thinking there has to be a way to make money from home with stay at home jobs for moms, now.

With today’s technology, there are some amazing jobs for stay at home moms. And I don’t mean a direct sales job!

Have you ever started thinking, maybe I could make some money from home. As your scrolling Facebook, you see your friends making money and working hard selling skincare/essential oils/cleaning supplies/etc and you decide to give it a try!

I mean your friends look like they are having so much fun! You want to join in because you’d like to have the extra money to fix the broken toilet and not worry about having to replace tires on the car. So you sign up, give away your precious cash in hopes for a better financial future. Start selling your awesome product to friends and family…and *crickets.* It’s not working!

You aren’t making your investment back and you aren’t having the most fun you’ve ever had. Ugh!

It’s so frustrating…I’ve been there!

Maybe you’re there too…scrolling endlessly on Pinterest and Facebook hoping there is a way that you can make some money from home.

After my many failed attempts at making money online, I realized that what I needed before jumping into another work from home job was clarity and a vision about the type of work from home job that would work best for me.

So I got busy doing some research to figure out the types of work at home jobs available for stay at home moms and where to find them.

Can stay at home moms really make money?

Absolutely! You can make money from home. But let’s be clear, you won’t make money overnight. However, you can make money with hard work and perseverance, just like any other job you would pursue offline.

If someone tells you that you can make $1000 dollars a day just by clicking a few things on your phone…run away fast! 

Anything that sounds too good to be true is probably a scam.

I remember when I started working online for Lionbridge as a search engine evaluator, I had to give my information so that I could get paid…it was scary! Thankfully my research on the company was solid and after my first month of work I was paid on time and in full.

I earned about $13 per hour for evaluating searches for social media sites and search engines.

The thing is you have to do work to get paid. You may decide to do a job that pays a little to do simple tasks or you may decide to develop your skills and start your own business. The possibilities for working online from home are endless and the earning potential depends on how much you are willing to work!

4 Types of Online Jobs from Home

~ This article may contain affiliate links. I only suggest product or services I believe will benefit my readers. All opinions are 100% mine! Read the full privacy policy here ~

There are 4 basic types of online jobs that you can do from home. Your needs for income, time commitment, and flexibility will determine the best fit for you.

Remote Online Careers

Businesses have been increasing the number of remote work from home jobs for the past few years. People love the option of being able to work from home, ditch the commute, and have less distractions. Full time positions can expect to earn a full time salary with companies that hire remote positions including benefits, health insurance, and office equipment. There are also part-time job opportunities along with flex opportunities that would allow you to work flexible hours or commute to work a few days per week and work at home other days.

These type of jobs range from customer service, education, information technology, marketing, and more.

The best place I have found to research remote online careers is through FlexJobs. They offer a job search platform that vets every job opportunity placed on their site to guarantee no scams. You will find resources to help you improve your resume, write cover letters, and a variety of webinars to help you successfully land a work from home job!

Online Entrepreneur

Have you ever thought about starting a business? A brick and mortar business (meaning opening an actual store in a real building) can cost a lot of money. You would need a business loan, purchase products to stock the store, and take on risk if your products don’t sell. Research suggests that most brick and mortar stores don’t actually make a profit for 5 years! Wow!

Opening an online business can be a great way to make money with minimal to no investment required! If you have a computer, smartphone, and wifi you can start a business making money from the comfort of your own home being your own boss.

The good thing about becoming an online entrepreneur is that you will have high flexibility, so you can decide when and where you work. The struggle is that income can be low at first with a big time commitment if you expect to grow quickly.

Of course, all of this depends on how much knowledge you have about marketing, the demand for your business, and if you decide to invest in online marketing.

Independent Contract Positions in the Gig Economy

Ok, that’s a lot of words. But in case you didn’t know, we are in what’s being called the “gig economy” which basically means that companies are hiring independent contract positions to do jobs. An independent contract position means that you are not an employee, so you don’t receive benefits of being an employee. One big difference is that you are required to take out your own taxes, so don’t forget to calculate for that!

A “gig” can be anything from walking dogs, delivering food, driving people places, renting out space, renting out cars…just about anything you can think of that other people might need you to do! There are companies that hire for gig positions and there are platforms you can join to offer gig services.

An independent contract position is highly flexible with potential to earn a decent amount of money depending on the amount of time you commit to working.

Extra Income Jobs

When you need maximum flexibility without a major time commitment, then jobs that earn a few hundred dollars a month of extra income could be the perfect fit for you. These type of jobs usually include earning extra money with surveys, apps that make money on your smartphone, and other get paid to tasks.

Most of these jobs are things that you can do while bingeing Netflix or waiting for your kids at practice. These extra money makers are best if you save them up over time. I use these to help us pay for Christmas and gifts!

One of the most popular jobs people ask me about are typing jobs for stay at home moms. Usually what people are looking for are jobs where they could enter data into an excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately, those type of jobs don’t tend to show up in online job searches.

However, there are easy data entry jobs that you can do to make money with online jobs for stay at home moms without investment. Search engine evaluation, user testing, and transcription are just a few jobs that you can find in the field of data entry.

Selling Things Online

Selling things online is a very flexible way to make money. A few things to know about selling online…

You don’t need to have money to invest in order to start selling online. The experts like Melissa of Flea Market Flipper and Jessica of Amazon Boot Camp, both say you can start selling online by looking through your closets to find things to try and sell.

Start investing money into your business. Once you start selling a few items you can take the money you have earned to invest in buying more products to sell online.

Learn as much as you can! There is always new information to learn whether you are a seasoned online seller or a newbie. Take advantage of courses that teach you how to make money with your side hustle.

Your earning potential is limitless when you sell online. Once you learn how to sell things online you have the potential to earn as much as you want to. That doesn’t mean it will be easy or you will make money over night, but with hard work and effort you decide how much you want to earn!

Selling on Ebay

Sell used items you find from shopping flea markets and thrift stores. Melissa of the Flea Market Flipper shares her tip for selling used items online. “Start with something you are familiar with. I liked to sell baby gear and baby clothes because I already knew the price points and how much something would go for.”

You can also sell items in Facebook groups, craigslist, and OfferUp just to name a few.

Selling on Amazon

Retail Arbitrage is an easy way to start selling items on the world’s largest marketplace, Amazon. What is retail arbitrage? Basically scouring the shelves of your local stores for items that have gone on sale and then putting them on Amazon for a profit.

The great thing about selling on Amazon is that everyone is already familiar with the platform and it’s the place where everyone goes when they think to purchase online (meaning lots of eyeballs on your products!).

Jessica and her family have been making a full time income selling on Amazon and now they help other people start their own business. Check out her amazing FREE resource to get you started!

Etsy Shop Owner

Etsy is one of the fastest growing online platforms with their handmade marketplace. There are so many options for selling through Etsy.

You can create your own crafts and handmade artisan products to sell in your shop. Sell vintage items or wholesale items on their marketplace. Or create digital products to sell from T-shirt designs to paper printables.

 

Teaching Online

Teaching online is becoming one of the fastest growing sectors in online business. There are a few different ways that you can make money selling online.

Teach English Online

Make money as an English teacher online. There are several popular companies that you can work for as an independent contractor to make money teaching English to Chinese students ages 4 – 12. These courses are English immersion classes meaning that you do not need to speak Chinese to teach the class.

Teachers typically earn between $20 – $24 per hour teaching English. You will need a college degree and some experience working with children to qualify for a position. The company I highly recommend (and taught with) is VIP Kid.

This job has the potential to be a great side hustle. You are trading your time for money, so the potential to increase your income over time depends on bonuses or raises from within the company you choose to work for.

Create Your Own Online Courses

If you have a skill or hobby that you can teach people, then you can create your own courses to sell through online platforms.

Check out places like Udemy and Skillshare.

Freelancing

Freelancing is a way to make money working independently rather than working for a company. People use the skills they have developed in their field to work on short term projects for clients.

Any skill can be turned into a freelancing job. The key is finding clients that need your work, and the best way to do that is by networking with your current contacts.

The freelancing field is expected to grow over the next 5 – 10 years according to this report from Upwork.

Freelancing is another field that is very flexible. However, it will take time to build your business. In the beginning you can expect to earn less and over time your income will grow. Since freelancing is like self-employment your earning potential is based on how much time and energy you put into your business!

Delivery Jobs

Let’s just say delivery jobs aren’t just for pizza anymore!

There is an increasing number of businesses that offer home delivery services for pharmacies, restaurants, and groceries.

These jobs are flexible independent contractor positions and one of the best jobs for stay at home moms with no experience. You choose your hours of availability and the number of hours you want to work each week.

InstaCart

InstaCart has partnered with grocery chains to provide home delivery service for groceries. You work from your smartphone through the InstaCart app. Sign in, choose a deliver, shop for the items on the list, and make the delivery.

Pay is based on several factors such as miles driven for delivery, number of items in the order, and other things. You can also earn a tip from the customer. Pay averages about $15 per hour.

UberEats

Make money delivering with UberEats! This is the same idea as driving for Uber. You can make money delivering food to people. UberEats has partnered with a variety of different restaurants. Deliveries can be made on a bike or your car depending on where you live.

Workers usually earn $8 – $12 per hour. Drivers are paid a pick up fee, delivery fee, and mileage from pick up to customer.

DoorDash

DoorDash is another food delivery company. DoorDash drivers can schedule shifts in advance or drop into open slots when available.

DoorDash pays drivers based on a formula: $1 + ‘pay boost’ + 100%  tips. Before you accept a delivery, a guaranteed minimum payout amount will be displayed on the app. If $1 + your tip doesn’t reach the guaranteed payout then DoorDash makes up the difference.

DoorDash drivers average about $8 – $15 per hour.

Blogging

Blogging is my personal favorite way to make money from home. It’s a job that is project based, flexible, and the earning potential is unlimited.

There are 3 main ways that you can make money as a blogger.

• Affiliate Marketing: You can make money when you share links to products or services that you recommend to your audience. There is no cost to your audience if they purchase through your link, and you are rewarded either a set amount or a percentage of the purchase.
• Adveritising: If you look around on your favorite sites (including this one!) you’ll notice advertisements throughout a post, on the side of a page, and sometimes at the bottom of the page. Advertising companies pay money to get in front of your audience. They pay even more if you have high quality traffic to your website.
• Selling Products: Make money with your blog by selling products that your audience needs to solve their problems. Digital products like printables, planners, ebooks, stock photos, etc are easy to sell products that don’t require an investment.

Actually setting up a website on WordPress is pretty easy. You can have your blog up and running in about 15 mintues!

But building a business around a blog can take months before you are earning money. Up front you are putting in hard work without much to show for it. There is nothing like that first $1 you make online! It’s encouraging and motivating to know that you’re onto something and you really can make money with a blog.

My best advice for anyone wanting to start a blog to make money is to begin by solving people’s problems. Everyone has problems that they need help solving. It could be anything from how to apply makeup, how to fix hair, how to keep your kids busy with educational activities, best camping supplies, how to create a bullet journal, DIY and crafts, and anything in between.

Choose to write about something that you love and then find a way to solve the problems that surround that thing…whatever *it* is!

At Home Service Jobs

Start a small business providing services out of your home. The key to starting any successful business is by providing a solution to people’s needs. You can be that solution working from home or working flexible hours at someone else’s home. These jobs are great because they allow high flexibility and great pay.

Spa Services

You can provide haircuts, facials, nails, and massages out of your home. When I was younger my mom went to her friends house to get her hair done. The lady had a salon chair and sink in a small room attached to her garage. It was the perfect set up! She only took appointments when her kids were in school.

Spray Tanning Service

I have a friend who has started a spray tanning service out of her home. She bought a professional grade spray tan machine for around $500 and started spraying her friends. She charges about $20 per tan and offers other products you can buy to keep your spray tan fresh. Another easy job to do from home and works perfect with a flexible schedule.

Laundry Care

If you don’t mind keeping up with laundry, then you could make extra money washing clothes for other people. I would LOVE to have someone wash and fold my mountains of laundry, and so would other busy parents. You can check out this article about how to start your own laundry business from home.

In-Home Childcare

Start an in-home childcare business. When I went back to work we started our son at an in-home daycare. It was perfect for our little guy to go to childcare in family setting. The owner, a mom of 4, had an assistant that worked with her. There were only 6 kids in the program. She included preschool activities, snack, and a fenced in backyard for playtime. If you decide to go this route, then make sure you check with your local and state laws about certifications and requirements for in-home childcare.

Cleaning Houses

Make money cleaning other people’s houses or businesses. This would be a very flexible job that you could do during school hours or evenings/weekends (for businesses). My aunt cleans houses part-time while her kids are in school. She works with a partner and they clean 2-3 houses per day 3 days a week. Your pay would depend on the going rate where you live and if you supply the cleaning products.

There are so many work at home jobs for stay at home moms to choose from! You should definitely take the Work at Home Quiz because it will help you find a work at home job you’ll love.

 

Imagine having a high paying job, but feeling stressed and overwhelmed everyday because you had to do things that are outside of your personality traits. Careers like sales, event planner, politics, retail, teacher, customer service, and other careers that require you to be in front of people all day are some of the worst jobs for introverts.

If you’ve been working in one of these fields for awhile and are feeling burned out, then you’re probably ready to find low stress jobs for introverts and start doing something that uses your introverted personality as an advantage.

Working from home is a productive way for introverts to make money. 

Some benefits to working from home as an introvert…

• Choose your work environment. You can choose to work in a quiet space that doesn’t have noise and distractions found in an office
• Focused work is valued over collaboration in a work from home job
• Skills and competence to work independently are necessary
• Written communication is important, but there is less focus on social ability

Jobs for introverts that pay well exist in a variety of different fields. But it can be hard to find a job that fits your personality type as an introvert, because introverts fall into one of four categories: social, thinking, anxious, or restrained.

Not sure which type of Introvert you are?  

Social Introvert

Social Introverts tend to stay away from social events. Most commonly people mistake them for being shy…which they aren’t! They just prefer to engage in smaller social situations. Usually social introverts have a small group of close friends, but can handle being in larger groups without anxiety.

Benefits of Being a Social Introvert at Work

• loyalty
• develop meaningful relationships
• enjoy working independently

Thinking Introvert

People who enjoy being thoughtful and introspective, but don’t mind being in social situations are Thinking Introverts. These people tend to be very creative and can thrive in a work at home job.

Benefits of being a Thinking Introvert at Work

• Can see the Big Picture
• Think outside the box
• Good listeners
• Innovative

Anxious Introvert

The Anxious Introvert is someone who actually has anxiety about being in social situations. They usually appear awkward and uncomfortable when in social situations at work or in their personal life.

Working at home is a very low stress job for introverts with anxiety about social situations. Jobs where you work alone from home can allow anxious introverts the opportunity to spend their time on important tasks rather than the stress of social work situations.

Benefits of Being an Anxious Introvert at Work

• Detail oriented
• Develop plans in advance
• Very focused
• Prepared

Restrained Introvert

Introverts in the restrained category tend to be laid back and take their time when presented with an opportunity to speak, engage, or take action. Sometimes it takes longer than normal to move forward on decisions, but that additional time is not wasted. Restrained Introverts are known for reflection and observation, which can be very useful in a work from home career.

Benefits of a Restrained Introvert at Work

• Able to think through the vision or big picture
• Can be the voice of reason
• Strong reflection and observation skills

#3 Teaching English Online

There are several incredible companies that have platforms that allow you to teach online in the comfort of your home to students around the world. While teaching is a social job, it could still be a great fit for a social introvert. Class sizes are usually very small ranging from 1 to 4 students per class. The classes only last 25 minutes and are taught in English.

The work hours for teaching English online are very flexible. You give yourself time between classes to take a break from the social stress.

VIPKid offers 1 to 1 lessons with students. You do need a bachelor’s degree and experience working with kids whether that is tutoring, teaching, camp counselor, etc.

Pay for these positions is $20 – $25 per hour depending on several factors.

Pay for these positions is between $20 – $25 per hour.

#5 Blogging

As an introvert, I have to say that this is my very favorite way to make money from home. I started my blog in 2016 after working several different online jobs.

Blogging is the most flexible work schedule, because I am the one who sets the schedule. My income continues to grow beyond what I would have ever made working for other online companies.

Bloggers make money by selling their own products, selling other people’s products (affiliate marketing), offering services, and ads placed on the website.

Don’t expect to start making money immediately, it can be a very slow process especially if you are learning as you go!

There are bloggers like me who are making $2000 per month and there are bloggers who are making $100,000 or more per month. 

Pay for this work at home job is unlimited! 

#6 Graphic Design

Sitting at a computer creating graphic designs is a good way for quiet people who are creative to make money from home. Graphic design is both creative and skilled work.

Since every business both locally and globally needs graphic design work to stay competitive there is no doubt that you will be able to find work. You can design things from business cards, business logos, shirts, signs, product design, and so much more.

While you don’t need a degree to become a graphic designer, you will need to have the skills. You may want to consider entry level jobs for graphic design.

Pay for this job averages $42,000 – $50,000 for full time positions.

Search FlexJobs to find high quality job leads for graphic design.

#7 Merch by Amazon

This is similar to graphic design, but it is design specific for clothing that can be sold on Amazon through the Merch by Amazon program.

Originally the Merch by Amazon program was designed to give app and video game creators an easy way to sell their merchandise. But entrepreneurs found out about the platform and started creating shirts that people love, and it’s turned into an actual job that you can do working from home!

Basically you research a design for a specific niche. An example could be “introverts.” You would research something that stands out for introverts and create the design. Upload it to the Merch by Amazon platform and then it goes on sale on Amazon.

When people purchase your shirt, you earn a commission for that sale! It’s kind of like earning passive income once you do all the hard work up front.

The amount of money you can make from selling t-shirts on Amazon is unlimited right now. However, it can take awhile to start earning, especially if you have to learn the skills to research, create, and sell on Amazon.

Pay for this job (potentially) full time income.

Freelance writing is one of the best jobs for introverts without a degree.

Anyone can become a writer. You don’t have to be a professional or even have a degree in English to start making money as a writer!

There are content sites that will pay you to write for them as long as you have knowledge about what you are writing about.

So many businesses today need to have content on their websites, social media, and newsletters. Content is what makes businesses stay relevant and helps them be found on search engines (think Google!).

You can make between $50 – $1000+ writing as a freelance writer.  Just so we are clear…you’re not going to start out making $1000 as a newbie freelance writer, but over time as you develop your writing skills there is great potential to grow your income.

Pay for this job (potentially) full time income.

#9 Proofreading

Do you love to read? Proofreading is a hot job market that can be done anywhere there is wifi.

If you are a grammar ninja with an eagle eye, then this could be a great choice for you.

Every business and online website needs content, and they need that content to be without mistakes. The demand for proofreading is growing everyday as content continues to be very valuable for businesses.

Caitlyn Pyle makes a full time income from proofreading and now she helps others start their own proofreading business. She has created a free workshop: Learning the Skills You Need to Start Your Proofreading Hustle. 

I love that you don’t have to have a degree to become a proofreader. That means if you’re looking to change careers, you don’t have to go to college to get another degree. Caitlin shows you the skills that will actually help you start a business and develop your skills as a proofreader.

Pay for this job starts at $25 per hour and increases with experience.

#10 Transcription

Transcription jobs are a good match for introverts who can type fast. Everything from video to podcasts to doctor notes to court reports need transcriptions.

This job requires fast typing and attention to detail. You typically make money on a per word basis so the faster you accurately transcribe recordings (video, audio, etc.) the more money you will be able to make.

Pay for this job starts at $15 per hour and increases as you get faster. 

#11 Sell on Amazon

Selling on Amazon is a business you can start as an introvert without having to get too involved with customers.

Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) means that Amazon will process and ship all of your orders. You simply place your products on the Amazon site and then bulk ship all of your items to an Amazon warehouse. From there customers will order through Amazon and then Amazon does the rest of the work for you!

Jessica of the Selling Family has made this her full time business! She and her family made over $100,000 in their first year selling on Amazon. Now she helps others start their own Amazon businesses, and she teaches you step by step so that you can have a successful business.

Read more about Jessica’s story and checkout all her awesome free resources!  

Pay for this job depends on how many products you put up for sale and the cost of those products.

#12 Write an Ebook

Do you love writing, but have never thought you could actually make money writing?

Self publishing has become an easy way to sell books online. Anyone can write and sell a book online, and you don’t have to have a degree.

With Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing you are able to make more money, publish faster, and keep control of you books pricing.

Not only that you can also publish your book in digital and in print. How cool is that?

You can actually sell a physical copy of your book!

Pay for this job depends on the number of books you sell.

#13 Photographer

I think becoming a photographer would be kind of stressful for an introvert especially if you are taking pictures of special events or large groups of people (family photos).

There are other fields that you can go into that have a growing demand for quality images.

Stock Photos

As a blogger I purchase stock photos for $1 to $0.50 per image with a license to reuse and resize. Some businesses pay $5 – $25 per image on sites like Shutter Stock. You could sell your images to bigger platforms or you could start your own business selling stock photos to online business entrepreneurs.

Images that are in demand are food images, seasonal images, office layouts (desk, computer, planners), and landscapes. Hint: none of them involve people 😉

Senior Portraits

I remember getting my senior portraits done in about 30 minutes. I wore the traditional black drape and then had another outfit that I changed into…and that’s it! Today senior portraits are an experience. It’s all about working one on one with a senior to let their personality shine through the pictures. These photo sessions range from $500 to $1500 depending on the experience of the photographer.

Pay for this job approximately $500 per month or more.

#14 Become an at  Home Chef

You know how people are so busy that they don’t have time to plan out healthy meals for their families? Those people need an at home chef.

Who wouldn’t love to order a healthy home cooked meal that’s sent to their door?

If you love to cook and prepare meals, then maybe you should consider starting a chef side business. This would be a great job for introverts because you would be left alone to do all the work on your own in the kitchen.

Pay for this job ranges from $18,000 – $60,000 per year.

#15 IT Specialist

If you are into computer sciences, then an IT (information technology) specialist position could be a work from home job that you do as freelance. You could work remotely if you are familiar with software programs and can help people walk through popular computer programs.

Technical difficulties drive everyone crazy, especially when you don’t know anything tech-y. People are using computers every day and getting stuck. You can provide the support needed to solve their problem!

Most jobs in the computer world pay well and this is no exception.

Pay for this job ranges from $50,000 to $80,000.

Still, not sure where to start?

Looking for a work from home job can feel overwhelming.

You don’t want to be scammed, you don’t want to feel dumb for thinking that there really could be a different way to make money…

I totally get that!

3 years ago, I was standing in your shoes wondering if all this work from home stuff was for real. And I honestly was stuck, because I didn’t know where to start.

After a failed attempt at running an Etsy shop, I decided that I would start small…

I started taking surveys online. (My favorite that I still use every month is Survey Junkie.)

Then I decided to give search engine evaluation a try.

I actually started making money…more than I was making at my part time job as a preschool teacher.

That’s when I knew that this whole work at home thing could be real with the right set of skills and a lot of hard work! 

I figured out a way to make money at home that works for me and my family. Now I’m helping people like you avoid the mistakes I made and find real ways to work from home.

You’re only one job away from…

Want an easy way to earn extra money? We’ve got the best apps that pay you real money to help you upgrade your wallet!  

If you’re days are anything like mine, you spend a lot of time waiting…in the car pick up line, sports practice, or waiting for your grocery pick up.

And you know how I spend that time? Usually on my phone…browsing Facebook, feeling a slight bit of jealousy as I scroll through all the insta-worthy family photos, or playing games.

While it’s nice to have some down time, wouldn’t it be great if you could turn all those hours into extra cash just by using your phone?

That’s why I’ve been doing some research to find the best money making apps, that actually pay.

I’ve put together a list of apps that pay you through Paypal, Amazon gift cards, or cash back from your purchases.

Whether you’re looking for iPhone apps that pay you money or Android apps that let you earn extra money, this is a complete list of the best apps that pay you real money!

Apps that Pay You Real Money

I’ve found 20 of the very best money making apps that you can download and start earning extra money via gifts cards or Paypal cash.

Here’s what you need to know about making money with apps…this should be considered extra money, not money that can pay your rent or your mortgage. I make between $50 – $100 per month in extra cash and gift cards from taking surveys, playing videos, and using these apps.

It’s not a lot of money, but overtime that money can really add up! Imagine having $600 – $1000 of extra money at the end of the year. You could use that money to pay for Christmas, start a savings account that earns you interest, or invest that money to start a business! 😮

Nielsen App

Are there really apps that pay you to have them installed on your phone? Yes!

The Nielsen app is the same company that tracks TV ratings, and they are interested in finding out how much time people are spending online.

They want to pay you to download their app to your phone and that’s all you have to do!

Talk about passive income that’s easy!

It can take a while to earn, and in my experience most surveys don’t pay as much as my favorite survey company. If you’re killing time anyway, it doesn’t hurt to make a few bucks!

Inbox dollars will give you a $5 Bonus just for joining!

Pinecone Research

Pinecone Research has one of the best payouts because every survey has a flat rate of $3 per survey. It’s easy to use and they are pretty good about matching you to surveys that align with your interests.

Best Apps to Make Money Fast

Make money and lose weight?

HealthyWage is one of those new apps that pay you to walk, exercise, and get healthy!

Everybody who wants to lose weight, usually starts out motivated and then after a week or two your back to your old habits.

But betting on yourself to lose weight is a simple way to stay motivated and earn easy extra money!

I just filled out the initial calculator to see how much money I could earn for losing weight. I had to lose 10% of my body weight over 6 months and bet $30 per month with the potential to earn $20 at the end of the challenge. That’s an 11% return on the money I would invest! You can calculate your own bet here.

Shopkick

Shopkick is an app that pays you to walk into stores. That’s it! It’s one of the easiest money making apps to use.

You can also earn points for scanning items in the store, scanning your receipts, and some purchases count towards points.

You can cash out your points for Target Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Cards, and Paypal cash.

When my kids were younger, we would need to get out of the house and get some energy out. I had just found the Shopkick app, so I decided to take the kids to a mall that is about 5 minutes from our house. We would go early in the morning and walk around the entire mall. Every time we walked passed a store that is on Shopkick we would earn points! I ended up using all those points to help pay for our Christmas that year.

Sell with Poshmark!  
 

More Apps that Make Money

There are so many ways to make money with apps on your smartphone. You can make a few extra bucks to a serious side hustle depending on which apps you use to make money.

You’re best bet is to try out a few different apps and find the ones that work best for your schedule. Then stay consistent with the apps that you use. The more consistent you are the better chances you will have making money, especially when it comes to surveys. Survey companies tend to reward regular users with better paying surveys.

I’d love to know what apps you are using to make money with your smartphone!

What are your favorite apps that pay real money?

Every company big or small knows the value in having a website. It only makes sense that in order for those sites to be effective for the company the site needs to be user friendly. Learn how to make money testing websites with the best website testing jobs!

Why do companies need user testing?

Websites need to be user friendly in order to create business for a company. If a user gets to the site, but can’t easily find the information they are looking for… all the work on the site is in vain. So companies can now hire you an average user to see where the flaws are on their site.

How to get paid to test websites?

The same way you can get paid to take surveys, you can get paid to test websites (and get paid to test apps). You sign up with different user testing websites who will notify you of tests available for you to complete. Most sites will pay roughly $10 for a 20 minute test.

Pro Tip: Sign up for several different user testing companies. This will increase your opportunity to take more tests. I personally prefer using User Testing. I leave the dashboard open on my computer throughout the day. When a new test opens up my computer notifies me and I can hop on and take the test. You are much more likely to get tests this way!

What you will need to get paid to test websites?

• Computer
• Smartphone
• Microphone (microphone on your Apple iPhones is fine)
• Web cam (usually built into your computer is fine)
•  Ability to download software that will record your voice and actions on your computer

Make Money Testing Websites

These website testing jobs are super flexible and a way to earn extra money. If you need money fast, then

Don’t you hate that feeling when you buy something, only to find out it went on sale the next week?! If you had only waited a few more days, then you could have saved a few extra bucks. 🤦

Have you heard people talking about Paribus?  It’s an easy way to save money on purchases you have already made, so you don’t have to experience that feeling of shopper’s remorse anymore!

We’ve got a detailed Paribus review so that you can start saving more money on every purchase!

Paribus Review

~ This article may contain affiliate links. I only suggest product or services I believe will benefit my readers. All opinions are 100% mine! Read the full privacy policy here ~

Saving money sounds great, but is Paribus legit? Paribus is actually a very successful company that was started in 2014 by venture capitalists, and eventually purchased by Capital One in 2016.

Paribus has an app for iOS and works on desktop computers. There is currently not an app for Android, but it is in the works.

Is Paribus free? Paribus is a totally FREE app to use!

You can sign up with Paribus here and start saving money for FREE! 

How does Paribus work?

Paribus is software that tracks your online purchases and sends you a refund when they find a price-drop for any purchases you made in the past.

Paribus acts as the middle man between you and stores. It’s very common for stores to have a price guarantee. If a price drops then you can file a price adjustment claim and be refunded the difference.

Seriously, who has time to do that? The problem most people have is that filling out a price adjustment can be really time consuming, and a lot of people don’t even realize they can save money by asking for a price adjustment.

You could be missing out on hundreds of dollars! That’s where Paribus comes in.

Paribus will file the price adjustment claims on your behalf and makes saving money totally effortless!

Is Paribus Legitimate?

You’re probably thinking…what’s the catch?

In order to start saving with Paribus, you have to give access to your email account to the Paribus Receipt Fetcher.

Paribus saves money on refunds

The way Paribus works is that it scans your emails for receipts from it’s partnered stores like Amazon, Home Depot, Target, and Walmart…just to name a few.

Then it sends an email on your behalf to the store when it finds a price drop.

Paribus saves money on shipping delays with Walmart and Amazon

When Paribus finds shipping delays from Walmart or Amazon, they are able to negotiate compensation for the delays.

How Paribus works

You do have to give email access that allows Paribus to send, receive, and delete emails.

You also have the option to connect your credit/debit cards and Amazon account to take full advantage of any savings. This is optional and not required.

Once Paribus finds receipts that have a refund available they will contact you and you can then approve any activity before it takes place.

How does Paribus pay you?

Paribus pays you by sending all your refunds directly to your bank account, as long as it is linked through your card.

You don’t have to wait to meet a minimum refund before you are paid. Payments are sent as soon as the refund is processed.

So…is Paribus legitimate? 

Yes! It is a legitimate way to save money on online shopping.

Paribus has helped people save over $30 million since 2014

Paribus has created an easy way for online shoppers save money, without having to do all the work!

Is Paribus a scam?

No, Paribus is not a scam. I know it sounds to good to be true, but it really is helping people who shop online save money they otherwise would never have saved on before.

It’s important to note, if you don’t shop online very often then this may not be the best saving money app for you.

Paribus does not guarantee that you will receive a refund. They are simply monitoring your receipts for when a refund is available. The refunds come directly from the stores and not from Paribus.

Who does Paribus work with?

Paribus works with major online retailers. You can see a full list of the stores here.

Again, Paribus is the middleman between the stores and you. They are simply monitoring your online receipts to find legitimate refunds that may be available.

Sometimes there are delays in refunds or purchases may not qualify for the refund. This is based on the stores and not the Paribus app.

Some people think that Paribus offers the refunds, but they simply manage the refund process between you and the stores.

Protecting Email Access from Paribus

Giving away access to your email can leave you feeling anxious, but there is a way that you can protect your email access.

Simply create an email account that is just for Paribus and your online shopping. That way Paribus doesn’t have access to your other email information, and you can maintain your privacy.

Using the Paribus App

You can use the Paribus website to get refunds, AND the Paribus app can be used on your phone. Using the Paribus app on your phone makes getting your refund even faster, especially if you do a lot of shopping from your phone.

Signing Up is Quick and Easy

This is one of the quickest sign ups for earning cash back!

Just go to Paribus enter your information, link  your email account, and Paribus will start scanning your emails to find refunds that you are missing out on.

You can also add your bank account information and connect your Amazon account for faster refunds, but that it totally optional!

Click here to set up your Paribus account!

Final Thoughts

Paribus is a great tool to use to earn cash back. It’s unique in that it is getting you cash back after you’ve made your purchase. I hate missing out on a good deal, and this gives me more of an edge to earn cash back!

I’ve found that some of my best savings have come from the shopping we’ve done at Christmas and as we continue to renovate our house.

We’ve purchased furniture and other materials on Wayfair and Home Depot that we have saved money on. I think there are better opportunities to save money on larger purchases and when you are shopping more online.

If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your email account, then this may not be the best way for you to save money. Definitely do your own research!

Paribus has been a useful savings tool for us, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to save more money!

Magic Ears Teaching Experience

Today I have Janice Cook, a Magic Ears teacher, sharing her experience and answering our top questions about teaching English with Magic Ears.

1. How long have you been with Magic Ears and what’s your experience been like?

I am a Junior Teacher with Magic Ears – I have taught about 50 classes with the company. I find myself willing to work during times that were never appealing to me in the past as an online teacher because the opportunities that lie ahead keep me motivated. There are secondary positions and incentives to teach a certain number of high quality classes. Magic Ears has created an environment where the quality of every class matters. You are rewarded and noticed when you work hard and I thrive in this environment.

2. How much teaching experience did you have in the past? What qualifications are required to teach with Magic Ears?

I have 12 years of traditional public school classroom experience and about a year and a half of experience as an online teacher.

Candidates must be a native English speaker native to USA/Canada. They must either have an TESOL certificate and 8+ months ESL teaching experience or a Bachelor’s degree in a related field and 2+ years online ESL teaching experience or 3+ years offline ESL teaching experience. Native speaker requirements are non-negotiable. However, if someone has the teaching personality they are looking for and lack some of the experience requirements, they can send in the application with an introduction video attached and possibly be hired.

3. What do you love about teaching with Magic Ears?

I love feeling like more than a number at this company. People know my name –  I was valued and treated with respect upon arrival. The company provides workshops in a 4:1 format free of charge where teachers can collaborate and improve on a regular basis. Magic Ears works hard to create a feeling that we are a family and the personal, caring touches make me want to work hard for the company.

4. How does the work with Magic Ears compare to VIP Kid?

VIPKID was the first online ESL company I worked for and I still work there now. I enjoy working with regular students and developing a relationship with a student that I see several times. VIPKID has a lot of hours to choose from and it has been able to flex around many stages of life for me so I will always be grateful for that. I will probably always work for VIPKID in some capacity, especially since they do not require teachers open a minimum number of slots each week.

Although the 4:1 setup at Magic Ears (compared to 1:1 at VIPKID) can be a challenge to adjust to at first, the Interactive platform is a dynamic, exciting place to teach each day. The overall base pay is higher, but the hours to choose from are more limited so teachers often teach for another company or take on secondary positions with Magic Ears to increase their income potential.

5. What type of training does Magic Ears offer new teachers?

Magic Ears is working on developing and expanding their training materials over time. The company staffs two official facebook groups: one for interviewing teachers and one for hired teachers. This is an incredible community of support where you can get accurate answers quickly as you prepare. It is very exciting to me that the final step in the hiring process is a chance to teach a class with real Magic Ears students. Many companies have you teach to adults who pretend to be children. Magic Ears invests in your preparation and then trusts you with their customers. This provides a great feeling of confidence for the teacher and allows them to let their true teaching skills shine. Magic Ears pays teachers for the time they invest in the training and hiring process and that really got my attention and made me feel like this was a company that would value my time.

6. What’s the process of getting into Magic Ears?

Start by filling out the online application. You will then take part in a series of interviews and eventually training as you pass each step. The process is fairly long, but similar to other companies in the industry. You could potentially be up and running your first online class in 2 weeks!

7. What tips do you have for acing the interview?

Magic Ears has very high standards for proper lighting so spend time making sure your classroom lighting is setup for success before that initial interview takes place. Magic Ears is looking for teachers with “Passion” so take advantage of that short demo video opportunity to show your energy and teaching personality.

8. What personal skills will make you successful as an ESL teacher with Magic Ears?

Magic Ears teachers need to be good at multi-tasking and time management. In the online classroom you need to monitor the participation and learning needs of four students while maintaining an environment free of disruptive additional noises (background noise in the student homes, equipment noise, etc.). The company wants certain parts of the lesson to happen at certain times so teachers must be very aware of their pacing as they teach. Magic Ears teachers need to be able to make a connection with a student quickly as they do not know much information about the student before the class begins.

9. How do you get paid? And how much can you make with Magic Ears?

Your monthly pay goes into PayPal or your bank through an international wire transfer – your choice. A pay slip is provided on the 3rd of the month so that you can sign and verify your pay. You return that by the 8th and are paid around the 10th.

10. How flexible is your time with Magic Ears?

Classes are confirmed the day before. If you booked a class you are expected to show up to teach it. That being said, you can decide what slots you open and you don’t need to offer the same times from week to week. You do need to open a minimum of 10 25 minute teaching slots each week to ensure the company has enough teachers to fill the demands of their growing student base.

11. How soon after you are accepted with Magic Ears will you begin teaching students?

Once I opened my schedule I had a booking the very next day. At Magic Ears a computer system gives you the bookings, not the parents. During your first ten classes they give you one or two classes a day so you are not overwhelmed. As you teach more classes you will see your schedule fill at 20%, 50%, 80%, and then later hopefully 100% of what you open. They help make sure our ratings stay high as they increase our bookings over time. It is a great system for all parties involved.

12. What tips would you give to anyone who wants to apply with Magic Ears?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions! The Magic Ears Facebook group is a great place to find answers and get help.
