10 ideas to earn money easily (and legally!) on the internet
Without making an exhaustive list, here are some tips to earn money easily (and legally!) thanks to the internet.
Idea #1: answer paid surveys
Several specialized websites (Toluna, Swagbucks, Mingle, I Say…) offer to pay individuals for completing online surveys. You answer questions about your daily life (purchasing habits, food preferences…) and receive in return, most of the time, points convertible into gifts. Some platforms also offer a cash reward.
Idea #2: become a website tester
Are you a bit of a geek? Or not at all? It doesn't matter, just give your opinion on new websites and mobile applications to start earning money. Here again, you need to go to a specialized site like Testapic, UserTesting, Ferpection, Userlynx or UserFeel.
Idea #3: Use cashback sites
You might already be familiar with these cashback platforms: Poulpeo, iGraal, Joko, and Widilo.
Their principle is simple: you create an account, then consult the list of partner merchant sites. Once a merchant is selected, you click on it and are redirected to their site. The cashback is activated. A few days or weeks later, if the order goes through, you receive a fraction of the amount of your purchase in the form of a refund on your account.
Idea #4: Carry out online freelance missions
Web editor, graphic designer, translator: these professions lend themselves well to freelance missions on the internet. But this mode of collaboration can extend to many other fields of expertise. Some of the most well-known platforms include FreelanceRepublik, LeHibou, Malt, Jooble, Upwork, and Freelancer.
Idea #5: Sell your items and clothes online
You can also resell high-tech equipment, designer furniture or even clothes on second-hand platforms. Essential platforms include Vestiaire Collective, Vinted, Selency, and LeBonCoin.
Idea #6: Rent out goods
Also think about renting on the internet. If Airbnb has popularized short-term real estate rental, this rental principle can also be applied to DIY equipment, a car, etc.
Idea #7: Make financial investments with an online bank
What if you made your money grow with an online bank? You don't need to be a top-flight trader to earn money like this. For example, all you need to do is open an online savings account to earn interest.
Idea #8: Offer your services to individuals
In recent years, peer-to-peer service sites have multiplied. DIY, gardening, small jobs, troubleshooting, transportation, courses and hobbies: it's up to you to promote a particular skill.
Idea #9: Give online or face-to-face courses
Some platforms have even specialized in online learning. A real plus for students who want to make a living.
Idea #10: Market your creations on the internet
Finally, if you have developed a craft or artistic know-how (leather or woodworking, card making, painting, etc.), know that several platforms can allow you to market your creations. It's time to get started!
