Companies use paid surveys to their market research. It’s somehow similar to a focus group where discussions can be about a particular product, campaign, or an advertisement to name a few.
By just answering various surveys online, you’re able to make money quickly and help the company as well.
3. Partner With Online Shopping Portals

If you have a blog, you can make money by partnering with online shopping portals that accept publishers. Upon their approval, their ads/products will be displayed on your site, and when someone buys from them through the link from your site, you’ll earn money!
4. Sell Your Old Stuff Online

If you’re trying to figure out what to do with your old clothes, bags, or shoes that won’t fit anymore, or want to get rid of other stuff that you don’t use anymore or don’t even remember having, you can sell all of them online!
Take advantage of the Internet by posting it on your different social media accounts or signing up on buy and sell websites.
5. Online Pawning

Pawnshops have been of assistance in obtaining money, especially for urgent financial concerns. Since online pawning through PawnHero has become available in the country, everyone can easily pawn their valuables such as jewelry and gadgets online to meet their short-term cash necessities.
6. Property Rental

If you have a rest house that you rarely visit or a condominium unit that you don’t use, have it rented out instead. Just as how selling your stuff is relatively an easy one, there are numerous sites that you can post ads for your properties too.
Don’t forget to include pictures of the property, along with your contact details for a smooth and easy transaction. Be honest with your restrictions too such as no bringing of pets to ensure that your property will be taken good care of.
7. Gadget Rental

Aside from property rental, gadget rental is also a good way to earn money without necessarily selling your things. Cameras and other shooting equipment, for instance, are excellent properties that you can have rented out by other professionals.
Same with the procedure on property rental, just post pictures of your item and contact details to negotiate properly your rates.
8. Turn Your Hobbies into Cash
