There are as many ways to make money online as there are people. How you choose to make money should be in line with your passions and interests, as well as topics that will pay you for your expertise. The skills you are willing to learn to help you make money make a difference too, because some businesses require more technical skills than others to set up and run. It’s also possible to outsource some of the tasks that need to be done, provided you have the funds to pay for these services you need. This can include anything from building a website to writing marketing materials.

The Telegraph UK reported that there are new ways to make money from your home. It’s not just about making money from home, it’s about making money using your home.

For those who want to make money with their homes, consider registering with a site like AirBNB. What this site allows you to do is to post photos of your home and offer a room to rent. Once your offer is posted on the website, you wait for the bookings to come in. The site features homes in 190 countries offering two million different homes to stay in. The potential income for renting a room is about $3,000 for about 46 nights per year. Airbnb was started in 2007 and is a global phenomenon that enables hosts to rent out their spare rooms.

Other ways to make money include finding agencies that will rent all or part of your home or offering a service apartment. Service apartments are an offshoot of Airbnb, and instead of renting rooms in homes, renters can purchase an apartment for rent instead. The income for renting these apartments is substantially better at around $85,000 – $95,000 per year.

As previously reported in The Inquisitr, Fiverr is an easy way to make money for those who are looking to make a few hundred per month to supplement their income. Some Fiverr sellers make six-figure incomes from this popular gig site. A gig is a small service Fiverr sellers provide, and they earn $5 per gig. Services include everything from writing tasks to voiceovers and just about any service that users can come up with that there is a demand for.

Elite Daily offered nine creative ways to make money for those who want to supplement their nine to five jobs. For those who have plenty of clothes they don’t wear, the auction site Ebay offers a way to auction off these clothes to make some extra cash. Other sites like Tradesy, Poshmark,and thredUP offer a chance to easily dispose of those clothes to the thrift crowd looking for nice clothes at a bargain.

For the more adventurous types who need to make a lot of money, consider donating your eggs for those who want to have children. Egg donations can command about $20,000, so if you’re desperate and need a large chunk of cash, this is an option. This isn’t a fast process, but it is quite lucrative.

Selling plasma and selling your hair are also other ways to make money. The company Hair Sellon can tell you how much your hair is worth based on inches, thickness, color and quality. This doesn’t offer quite the payday that donating your eggs does, although it can gain you a tidy $50 to $900. Virgin hair, hair that hasn’t been dyed, is preferred. Other ideas to help you make money include selling your hair and beauty skills, as well as working as a personal shopper.
