The Internet is filled (read as littered) with ‘make money online‘ opportunities.

I won’t bore you with the same take a survey get 50 cents type of post.

I’m here to show you actual ways you can literally work from home and not have a full time job.

The best part?

It’s not that difficult to make extra cash in 2018.

In fact, you should know that there are four main ways to make some money fast:

  1. Investing money (stocks/options/futures/forex, real estate investing, cryptocurrency, etc)
  2. Investing time (starting a blog, taking surveys, youtube, social media marketing, affiliate marketing, etc)
  3. Make money by doing things you already do, an example being getting paid to shop on Amazon.
  4. Make money by using your stuff (car:uber, spare room:airbnb, etc)

I’ll go through each of the four main ways and give you the best articles for you to use on your money making journey:

1. How to Make Money Online: If You Have Money

Yes, you’ve probably heard the phrase before. Let your money make you money. For example, did you know you can invest in apartments and commercial real estate for as little as $500?

If being a landlord to your own duplex, triplex, or fourplex sounds scary, I have good news for you. You can now invest in large-scale real estate for as little as $500. If you’re interested, I recommend you sign up for more information from Fundrise by clicking here.

You can find ways to generate money by using your money in your bank account.

2. Make Money With No Money: If You Have Time

You need to put in the time to get that dough.

Making cash doesn’t come easy or else everyone would be doing it.

Of course, there are ways to make passive income while you sleep. The trick is putting in the time, and then you will be able to reap the benefits of getting hundreds and even thousands of dollars a month of passive income. For example, did you know you can make money just by installing an app on your phone?

By using the internet as you do every day, Nielsen invites you to make a difference — and you can make money too. I downloaded this app and make around $50–100 passively… it’s a legit app. You don’t really have to do anything other than initially registering your computer or phone.

There’s so many sites like these that pay you… for a little bit of your time and effort.

3. Make Passive Income by Doing Things You Already Do

Let’s make some money, while you’re doing what you normally do! For example, did you know some apps pay you money just subscribing to their email list or downloading their app? These companies have big pockets and can expense the cost and you, the end user, benefit. I listed my favorite money making apps in this article: Best Money Making Apps That Pay You (Updated for 2018).

4. Use Your Things To Make Passive Income

Use your stuff, to net you some income.

For example, have you heard of Airbnb? This is a free room rental app for your phone. I really mean free all around — free to join and they don’t charge any fees for you to list your spare room. You can get paid when somebody books your spare room and you can charge whatever you want when you join through this link.
