We all want to make more money for ourselves and our families. Many of us strive to control our financial situation more effectively, and we don’t have to start a whole business to do this. 

Today, we want to show you some simple ways to make extra money 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 money while enjoying 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.

Selling Luxury Products Online

Another lucrative way to make extra income is to sell luxury products online. Luxury goods, such as designer clothing, high-end accessories, or premium beauty products, often have a higher profit margin and attract buyers willing to pay for quality. Setting up an online store or utilizing specialized platforms that cater to the luxury market can help you tap into a niche audience. This approach allows you to work from home, set your own hours, and build a business model that fits your lifestyle. While sourcing luxury items may require an initial investment, the potential returns can make it a rewarding endeavor in the long term.

Freelance writing 

If you have an eye for creativity and enjoy writing, 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 exciting as you can write about different subjects daily and write various types of content depending on the client's needs. There are always many opportunities to grow with freelance writing; this could even become a career for you if you enjoy the creativity of it all. 

Clinical trials 

Before you worry, clinical trials don’t have to be anything invasive. Recently, there has been an uptake in virtual clinical trials that allow you to stay at home and participate in psychological and other small studies. If you want to make some money as a one-off and 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 miss out on making some money this year. As an artist, you can set up a shop on Etsy or your 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 and make extra money for yourself and your family. 

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