Part 2 : 5 More ways to Earn Money from Home - Side Hustle

5 Ways to Earn an Extra $500 Per Month From Home



Making money from home is such an awesome feeling. It’s great to be able to contribute to your family’s financial situation from the comfort of your home. And it’s also great that there are online jobs that will fit just about every single personality.

If you’re looking to make some extra cash here are:

Five ways to make an extra $500 per month from home!


1. Become a Search Engine Evaluator

Search engine evaluators are hired by search engines like Google to verify the accuracy of certain search engine results. These jobs typically pay around $10-$12 per hour which would mean you’d need to work 50 hours per month to earn the extra $500.

You can sign up for search engine evaluator jobs through places like LeapForce.

2. Sell Crafts on Etsy

I just put in my first Etsy order last month and I am in love. I also spent way, way more money than I normally would for two reasons. 
  • First, I loved the product and couldn’t find it anywhere else.  
  • And second, I wanted to support fellow entrepreneurs.

If you’re crafty whether that be making actual physical products like picture frames, candles or soap or are very good at making digital prints, Etsy could be quite profitable.

(I paid $42 for three digital print photos! Besides the ink and three pieces of paper that’s all pure profit for the seller!)


3. Test Websites

Like it sounds, website testers test the “usability” of websites. As a website tester you look at the overall layout of a website, critique it, and make a video of it. You can get paid around $10 per website tested which generally takes around 20 minutes.
The work might not be extremely consistent but the good news is you only have to review 50 websites to earn that extra $500 per month from home. That’s not a bad deal!

4. Write Articles

The pay you can earn from writing articles varies greatly. You can earn anywhere from $5-$500 for a 500 word article.
If you start at out working for a content mill, like TextBroker for example, you’re only go to make $5-$10 per article. If you go out and find your own clients you can start out in the $20-$30 range or more, depending on your skills.
If you decided to freelance and find your own clients you’d only have to write 17 articles a month to earn $500 at a rate of $30 per article.

5. Babysit

Babysitting is one of those tried, true, and will always be around ways to make money from home. If you babysat one kid at $10 an hour you’d only need to work 50 hours per month for the $500. Get a second kid to watch and you’ve cut your time in half.
This is a good solution for someone who likes kids and has no interest in working online.

There are a ton of options when it comes to earning extra money from home. If you feel like nothing on this list applies to you just do a couple of quick Google searches and you’ll end up with more ideas than you can possibly read.

Fall has arrived...and so has the season of soup! 
It is so comforting to be able to come home after a long, cold day and wrap yourself up in your softest, cozy blanket and sink yourself into your plush couch and enjoy a large bowl of warm soup. And it doesn’t get much better than having dinner basically ready and waiting for you when you get home.
Who doesn’t love a good slow cooker dish? This soup is amazingly easy, it’s incredibly delicious and hearty and it’s perfectly cheesy. This is definitely a new slow cooker favorite for me. Enjoy!
