1. Online Psychic and Tarot Readings

Regardless of what you believe, there are those out there that swear by astrological readings, tarot cards, and psychics.

That also means there are people out there that would pay others to provide said services, turning what some would consider ludicrous into a viable business.

Via websites like Kasamba.com, alleged psychics can sign themselves up for paid live chat sessions and charge a specific amount per minute.

Tarot readings are a bit more complicated to get started in, mostly because there are so many free services offered, but Craigslist has proved a viable starting point before moving onto your own online tarot reading service.

2. Online Surveys

Ever wonder how some companies make the decisions they do?

Sometimes it’s an internal decision based off of figures and estimations, but consumer opinion can be a big part of change;

but where would those opinions come from and how do they coax people to take the time to do a survey?

Well, with online surveys and cash money, of course! There are plenty of websites that offer compensation for surveys, so much that the market is getting pretty saturated, but some sites are a bit more generous than others.

If you aim to make some extra cash through online surveys, recommended sites include SwagBucks.com, OpinionOutpost.com, and Toluna.com, or for Android users, the app Google Opinion Rewards is a great way to earn a few bucks towards your Google Credit account.

3. Online Focus Groups

Like online surveys, online focus groups allow for convenient consumer and political research, but they require a bit more from the participants than clicking a few radio buttons.

Rather than gathering a group of people in one location, though, everything is done in an online forum. As there isn’t much of an in convenience to participants, not every online focus group pays, but if you’re looking for a quick buck, FocusGroup.com is a valuable resource.

A moderator will steer the discussion, which is held over a web-based technology like WebEx and GoToMeeting, and you won’t have to deal with the awkwardness of face-to-face discussion.

4. Etsy

Feeling crafty and don’t know what to do with those 25 scarves you crocheted? You can try your luck at an arts and crafts show, spend the money to secure a table,

and enjoy the blistering heat, or you can simply open an Etsy shop and sell your handmade product from the comfort of your own home.

Members of the eCommerce site specialize in handcrafting unique items, leading to a community of over 1.6 million sellers and $2.39 billion in annual sales in 2015 alone.

Additional to arts and crafts, Etsy also allows shops to carry vintage and antique items that are at least 20 years old.

5. eBay

Have a lot of junk that you think may be worth something? Since 1995, the online auction house has proved to be a fine means of unloading your unwanted stuff.

While you’re free to sell just about anything you can find, those that have the potential to make the most money tend to either focus on limited collectibles, antiques or open their own eBay Store and specialize in stocking and selling anything from clothing to electronics to niche items like, uh, erotic postcards.

One of the best ways to find stuff to sell on eBay is by visiting local thrift stores, garage sales and estate sales. Be sure to bring a device with an internet connection so you can price-check your lucky finds before you buy them!
