Believe it or not, there are lots of fun ways to increase your income or even save money. The problem is that many ideas sound too bizarre to be taken seriously. We've come up with a bunch of great ideas that will come in handy for those of you thinking about micro-income.
You Can Sell Your Vacation Photos
If you have some digital snaps with good resolution, you might consider selling them to online agencies like Fotolia and 123rf. You can get royalty on the images sold. Don't worry, you don't need to be a photographer.
You Can Model in Art Schools
You can model for art schools that are constantly looking for body types of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Let's underline that if you are not obsessed with nudity, you can earn more.
You Can Sell Your Hair
If you have nice long curls and it's okay to part with them, you can make money by selling your hair. With a short web search, you'll find plenty of ads for wigs and hairdressers willing to pay for your beautiful hair.
Rent Your Backyard to Campers
If you live in a rural area in nature and have a large backyard or land, the smartest way to make quick money is to rent your lawn to happy campers.
AirBNB is an online hub that lets people list their backyard for camping. This is also great news for vacationers looking to camp for a relatively inexpensive price.
Take Tourists for a Sightseeing
Do you love where you live and do you like to show it when your distant friends or family come to visit?
You're probably one of those people who hate falling for 'tourist scams' when you go on vacation, so why not help others avoid pitfalls like these?
Sign up for Vayable and create a cheap and cheerful tour that visitors will love. You set your own rates for what each tourist pays (Wayable takes a 3% deduction) while showing what you believe to be the best features of your hometown.
Recommend the Perfect Candidate for the Job
If you have a hardworking and reliable friend that you can refer to, you can earn money, or rather a commission, through the job search site Refermehappy. Join the system as a referrer or friend and if your friend is hired you will receive a referral bonus from the company.
Rent Your Parking Space
Finding affordable parking in big cities can really be a pain in the ass. If you have a private parking space that is empty and you do not use, you can earn money by renting it.
Let me give an example from myself. I had received many offers from the neighborhood where I lived for the place that was once a small woodshed that I converted into a small underground garage.
Help With Hangovers
If you live in a student or single-dominated area, you may have a reputation as a 'hangover helper'. By the time the alcoholics get out of bed, they will find their home tidy, their trash taken out, or their nutritious breakfast delivered to their doorstep.
Let's admit that it is a business idea that is much different from simple house cleaning and is open to development.
Sell on CafePress or Etsy
If you can design digital products, you can sell them on freelance sites like CafePress. They may include custom logos, inspirational quotes, and other current or trending designs that appeal to the masses.
Companion to the Elderly
It may be considered to earn money as a helper for the elderly or disabled. You can take their medication, do their grocery shopping, schedule doctor visits, and help them with any alternative request for a reasonable fee.
Carpet and Seat Cleaning
You can earn money by buying a carpet and upholstery cleaning machine. In particular, on-site sofa cleaning and maintenance work has been very popular in recent months. Extra money can be earned if you add vehicle maintenance to this upholstery cleaning business.
Walk the Dog
There are sites that connect dog owners and dog walkers. Rover is one of the largest dog walker networks in the World. I suggest you review the offers and packages and build your local strategy accordingly. With a strong competitor analysis, you can also create your own website.
Take Care of the Cemetery
Most of us would think of paying for someone who takes care of your graves, which you neglect because you live far away, and sends them to you by photographing them. Would you consider doing this work for others?
Participate in Medical Studies
Consider participating in medical research or drug trials. Companies pay significant sums of money to participants. Donating blood and plasma can also be an alternative idea, especially if you have a hard-to-find blood type.
