If you are looking for ways to make an extra side income from home in addition to your main job, you’ve come to the right place. There is a multitude of ways to make a good amount of money from home, and we’re going to cover the most lucrative of those here.

Here are the top five ways to make a side income from home:

Freelance Writing

Freelance writing is without question one of the easiest ways to make a side income from home, so long as you have the skills or talent for it. You could theoretically start your freelance writing career in as little as twenty four hours by just starting a profile on freelancing websites such as Upwork and then applying for writing jobs right away. You would write for online clients that have content they need for developing their business, such as press releases, blog posts, or marketing copy.

Penny Stock Trading

What are penny stocks? Penny stocks are simply any stocks that sell for less than $5 a share. They are appealing to people because you can buy a large amount of them with a minimal investment. You can make money with penny stocks either through day trading or by purchasing a stock you believe is promising and holding it over the long term (the safer option if you are not an experienced trader).

Cryptocurrency Trading

Cryptocurrencies have been in the headlines for years now, and while it’s a relatively new commodity it’s still a perfectly viable option for making money with. As with penny stock trading, you can either day trade or hold over the long term. Take note that cryptos are far more volatile in comparison to penny stocks, so be prepared for that.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is where you post affiliate links to certain products and then earn a small commission each time someone buys the product after clicking your link to get to it. While the commissions are usually small at around 5-10%, they can add up quickly and with higher priced items especially you can earn a decent amount of money. This is one of the best ways to earn money from home. Take note you’ll need either a blog or a website of some kind with traffic being driven to it before affiliate marketing is a viable money making option for you.

Create an Online Course

Finally, you can also create an online course and sell it through a site such as Udemy. While it takes a fair amount of time to create the course, once you put in the work and have it up for sale you’ll start making money with it while you sleep. Make sure your course is in a subject matter that you are knowledgeable and preferably passionate about.
