Being able to join a focus group online or take an online survey in return for some extra cash always feels good. Before when I was looking for a job when I got out of school, my mom told me there were focus groups in the city I could join for $100 a pop. I went once and it was nice. I mean I got the $100. But it took up my whole day just to take part in the focus group. The session itself lasted on average, I would say, for about an hour and a half for the ones I did. I had to walk to the train station, take the train to the city which took about an hour, then walk or take a subway to the location, wait for it to start, join the group discussion of the focus group, wrap up it up and take the train back home for an hour. I'm exhausted just reading that over! It took so much longer just to travel than actually participate. And even when you get to the focus group, a moderator leads the discussion making it even longer. Sometimes at least from my experiences, each …

Make $11,520 Extra This Year Playing with Cats
I was listening to a podcast episode of So Money with Farnoosh Torabi this week and came across a pretty awesome side gig from the person she was interviewing. I know, I suck, because I forget which exact episode it was. BUT, she was cat sitting part-time for her neighbors. Imagine getting paid $20 for 20 minutes just to play with a cat and take pictures to send to the owner to show everything was okay. It literally sounds like the best job ever. You know when you hear people say "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"? Yea, I think they were talking about this. Just think, if you were able to schedule even just 2 hours of "work" each Saturday and Sunday or some other two days of the week, you could make $240 extra that week. In only 2 days! For playing with cats! Man, if I wasn't allergic to fur, I'd be all over this, especially living in the city. There's definitely so much opportunity to chill with some cats. Maybe there's a hypoallergenic filter online. …

10 Ways to Make Money from the Comfort of Your Home This Week
Have you ever found yourself wishing you could make a little extra cash, but without having to leave your room? Yea what a coincidence, me too. Ever since I got into blogging, I've been interested in other ways people make extra money on the side without ever having to leave their home. It just seems so much more convenient and practical, especially if what you're thinking of doing for a side job that's outside of your home pays just as much or less than what you could be earning from simply using a computer or laptop. In my opinion, it's definitely much easier and relaxing to have the luxury of working from home.

The Money is in Your Email List: Which Provider to Use, the Ultimate Review
Starting a blog without an email list is one of the biggest mistakes beginner bloggers make. Your list is the link to your biggest, most loyal fans. It's one of the most valuable resources you have for things like validation and gathering data. You won't find more honest feedback than through your list because it's an interactive way of staying in touch with your readers. It's the key to maintaining a relationship with your audience. A lot of people don't take it seriously enough or worse, don't even see the need to have one if they aren't selling anything. The point of an email list isn't to sell your readers something. It's to have an engaging rapport so you begin to understand their wants and needs related to your blog. Your profitability from the blog is a byproduct of this ongoing relationship through recommended products and services you use yourself. These are the people who want to hear what you have to say. They are the ones you can have a back and forth …
Create Your Own Blog with SiteGround
I am quickly learning blogging is one of the best hobbies to have, especially if you are trying to create a side hustle. I first realized people blog for a living back in June of 2017 and have learned an incredible amount since then. Never in my wildest dreams would I think you could create a living from what starts out for most as a hobby. The best part about it is the opportunity cost. Other than investing your time, there is hardly any spending needed. The sky is the limit. According to Suzi Whitford of Start a Mom Blog, these 53 Blogs have all generated income ranging from $6 to $219,248! The best part is the list shows you how long the sites have been around. It's very encouraging to see a blog that has been around for three years is already making $82,780 per month. This may not be the case for you, and the blogger may have had a few years of experience prior to the blog, but it gives you a look into what you can do if you are willing to put in the …
