Most videos about earning money online for free
are either outdated, unrealistic, or they just try to sell you a course. So, in this video, I will
show you 10 legit ways you can earn money without spending a dime. And these method actually
work. They are completely free to start and you don't need any experience. You don't need to
buy any course or anything like that. And number seven is one most people have no idea about,
but it definitely has some great potentials. Make sure you stick around to see all the
opportunities so you can find the best for you. In case you don't know, my name is Mikael and
on this channel here, I test side hustles so you don't have to waste your time on things
that don't work.
And everything I share here is based on real experience and not just hype.
So, in this video here, I will be showing you 10 legit ways to earn money without any investment
at all. And some of them are just great for quick extra cash and others they can potentially
grow into something bigger if you stick with them. and I'll break down how each of the options
work, what you can realistically expect to earn, and who each option is best suited for, so you can
find which ones fit your goals, your experience, and everything the best. So, let's just get to
it. So before going over the options I want to show you, I just want to talk a little bit about
the earning potential so you know exactly what to expect because as mentioned some of these
methods they are some you can get started with right away start earning right away even also
but then usually the earning potential is also not huge.
Most of the methods I will show here
are actually just methods to earn some extra money on the side. They are not a way to build a
full-time income or anything like that. There are a few of them that can grow into something bigger
potentially, but overall these are side hustles, free methods to start earning where you can get
started very easily and start right away.
And I'll show you many different methods. So then you can
also choose different options. So it just keeps being interesting and more fun to earn also. So
you can just join as many options I'll show you and or as few as you want to. That's completely
up to you. So let's just get to the list. So, when we talk about free ways to earn some
extra money, we have to talk about paid surveys. And if you've watched my videos before, you know
that I've talked about that a lot because it is one of the easiest ways to earn some extra money
right away.
You can just sign up for the best survey sites in your country. I'll show you in
just a bit how to find those and then you can start answering surveys, questions, and get paid.
It's not a way to make a huge amount of money, but it's easy to get started with and if you join
several survey sites, it can be a nice way to earn some extra money depending on where you live.
A couple of examples of great survey sites that I've tested is for example, Branded Surveys.
We
also have TopSurveys. But as mentioned, the most important thing when it comes to paid surveys
is to find the right ones for your location, your country, because what works for me or someone
else might not be the best for you depending on where you live. So I manually actually have built
out these list here on my website where I show the best surveys in many different countries here. I
keep updating them. I keep testing. I get feedback from hundreds of people all over the world. If
your country is not here, then there are not a huge amount of surveys in your country.
Then
you can either go for the international sites or you can choose some of the other options
I will talk about here in this video instead. The next option is to train AI or do AI training
jobs. And this has become very popular. There are many different platforms. There are some where you
can actually get jobs or higher paying long-term gigs. And then there are small platforms where
you can just find small kind of data entry type of work but focused on helping to train AI where
you can just join and sign up and start earning a bit of extra money right away.
So which options
are best really depends on your preferences. A couple of examples here also I'll show you a
few examples for each of the methods I will talk about and then I will tell you where you
can find more information also if you want full list about a specific method if you want a more
options or anything like that. But one option here is Pareto and here you can see you can apply
to become an AI trainer. Here you can often find a little bit longer term projects or jobs so you
can earn a little bit more. There's also something like hyper micro where you would just find small
tasks, jobs where you can see it categorization, drawing boxes, things like that. So, this doesn't
pay that much, but it's easier and faster to get started with. But overall, if you want to know
more about these options or any other options, then I do have a list also on my website
of the best AI training jobs.
You can find full tutorials and reviews of the two options
there and many others also. So, if you think this sounds interesting, then you can also find
a link to this list here below this video here. Another great way to make some extra money is gig
economy jobs. And and on some of these platforms, you can potentially even grow it into something
bigger. Some people are making almost a living from gig economy jobs or apps or platforms.
So, it is an option. And just to give you an idea about what type of work it is, usually it is
in your local area. So, it's not online. It's one of the few here where you would actually have
to do something physically in your local area. TaskRabbit is an option that will show you just
some of the many ways you can do it. But you can see it can become a personal assistant.
It
can be furniture assembly. It can be help moving, indoor painting, all kind of different
things here. It can also be to deliver different groceries. It can be pet sitting. There
are many different types of gig jobs. And this is just one example. Also here I do have a list on
my website of some of the best platforms that I have come across for this here.
There are many
different types. So you can kind of just pick and choose depending on what type of jobs you
are looking for. Some of them do pay decently. Others will not pay you that much. But if you just
choose the right option considering your location, your preferences, all these things, it can
definitely build up to some nice extra income. If you spend a lot of time online, then installing
passive income apps can also be a great way to earn a bit extra.
Usually, they don't actually
earn you a lot because it will just run in the background. Sometimes on your phone, sometimes on
your computer, sometimes you can do it on several devices and then you will just share your unused
internet bandwidth. In many cases, in some cases, it will track anonymously what websites you're
using, the ads you're seeing, and things like this that is used for market research. So whether
you feel comfortable about this or not that really depends on you. One example is Pawns is very
well known for offering these options. There are other options also like Honeygain. I also
have a full video about that. I'll leave a link in the corner here. But in general I do have a
full list also on my website of course with the best passive income apps.
So I'll also leave a
link to that below. Again you just need to do this with the right expectations. It will not make
you a lot is one of the options here on this list that will make you the least. But you also don't
have to do anything. So if you are online a lot, you can let it run in the background and then
a little bit of extra money once in a while can of course also be nice.
So I just want to take a
quick second to make you aware that the majority of you watching have actually not subscribed to
my channel. And it's a free easy way to support me and my work so I can keep focusing on creating
valuebased content like this. So I would really appreciate if you could just take one second here
to hit the subscribe button and also the like button for this video here. So thanks for that and
then back to the list now. So the next option is to earn crypto for free that you can then use to
either trade or you can invest it in crypto in the cryptos you believe in the long-term potential of
and then what you can earn now from free platforms can potentially grow into something more.
This is
of course a little bit more risky because there is no guarantee. So I'm not guarantee you that this
will give great results. Of course, you need to do some research about the different cryptos,
especially if you want to trade. But there are many free earning platforms, even some of the ones
I have already mentioned here where when you earn, you can actually choose to withdraw in crypto. So
that way you can either then hold on to it if it's a crypto you believe in or you can trade it if you
want to.
A couple of examples also of platforms that offer this is for example Gemsloot here.
It offers to pay out in many different cryptos including Bitcoin and Solana and also PrizeRebel,
one of my favorite get-paid-to sites where you can earn in many different ways by doing small online
microtasks and then you can get paid out also in Bitcoin and many other cryptos. So these are just
two examples. I also do have list on my website of the best ways to earn Bitcoin or Ethereum for
free. I'll leave links below. I also have for other cryptos.
Then you can just go on my website,
use the search bar and search for your crypto. for example of XRP and Solana, Dogecoin and
more. So you can go there and check that out if there's other cryptos you are interested
in. But as mentioned, you can also just take out the cryptos each of these platforms have
and then you can trade it into something else, if there is a particular crypto that you want that
these different free online earning platforms are not offering.
So this can be a way if you don't
need the money here and now to potentially grow it into something bigger over time. But again, do
your own research so you know the risks and what is involved. But it can definitely be something
to consider. So focus groups is another great way to earn some extra money. Sometimes it's
in person, other times it is online and often you can participate in interesting discussions.
I have done it quite a few times. And the great thing about it is that it's not only interesting,
often you can also earn really nice extra money. Some focus groups are very hard to qualify for
because they're looking for very specific type of people or demographic groups or things like
that.
So, just be aware that it's a good idea to join several platforms that offer this so you
have a bigger chance of finding projects you qualify for. But the great thing is when you then
qualify, it can really boost your site income. I do have a list on my website of the best online
focus groups. So, I'll leave a link to that below here also, so you can go and check that out if you
think this sounds like the right option for you. So number seven here is one that most people
are not aware of and one that I find quite interesting and this can grow into something
quite big potentially.
Of course it depends on your effort and everything but it is to become
a Sharetown rep and Sharetown is a platform where you can actually resell items or you can
get paid to pick up store and resell like new oversight products. It can be mattresses, it
can be furniturees, it can be gym equipment, all kind of things from people that are returning
it after they bought it and then you have to pick it up. You have to then resell it and then you can
keep a big part of this profit here and that is for Sharetown and you can apply to become a rep.
And I also do have a full tutorial of that.
I'll leave a link to that below so you can go and check
that out if you want to know more about this. And you can see here that uh some of the reps are
making up to $50 an hour. This is currently only in the US, so just keep this in mind here. And
of course, it also requires you to have a vehicle so you can pick up these items here and also
storage space of course. But if you have that, then this can be a great way to earn by reselling
items. If you're interesting in more ways to earn by reselling in general, I also do have a video
where I talk more about that.
I will leave a link in the top corner so you can check that out. If
you ever shop online, then the next option here is something you should definitely consider and that
is to join cashback sites because there are many both apps and websites where you can join and then
when you click the links there to certain shops then you will be able to shop there as you usually
would. It doesn't cost extra anything but you will earn a percentage of your what you buy back into
your account and then you can take that out as cash or gift cards depending on the platforms you
are using. Some cashback sites or apps actually even allow you to connect a credit card. So when
you shop in physical shops also you will earn cash back. But one example is just my points. This is
if you live in the US or Canada. But this is just one example. There are many great cashback sites
depending on where you live. I of course also have a full list of the best options like this on my
website if you're more interested in this option. I will leave a link to that below so you can check
that out if you're interested in this.
One really great side hustle I enjoy is user testing. And
there are quite a lot of great user testing sites where you can sign up and you can then get paid
to share feedback. Sometimes where you record your screen and think out loud. Other times it can
be one-on-one interviews where you give feedback about something. Sometimes it can be to find
bugs in uh new games or new programs. There are many different types of user testing like this.
The great thing is that they can pay quite well. Sometimes it can be hard to qualify for some
of them. So that's why it's always a good idea to join several user testing platforms.
A couple
of examples is for example user interviews here. And you can see some examples here of the type of
tasks they have here. This was actually a focus group in person but they also have online tasks.
You can see sometimes it can pay really well if you end up qualifying. Other times this one is
online there. This only takes 10 minutes but then you get $10. That's also quite nice. So that's
just one example. Another popular user testing platform is just called user testing.com where
you can also earn some nice extra money when you qualify. I am a member of quite a lot of different
user testing platforms uh because then I will regularly get invited because as mentioned it can
take some patience. So just joining one then you will likely not get too many tests but I also do
have a list of the best usage testing platforms on my website.
I'll leave a link to that below. So
then you can check that out and find the ones you want to join if you think this sounds like a great
option for you. So the last option I want to talk about is to get paid to be a friend. It sounds a
little bit strange. I also thought so when I first heard about it, but there are a few different
platforms where you can sign up and then people are willing to pay you to well in some cases it
depends on the platform there. But for example, if we go to one example is Papa.com here where you
can see that it help health plans and employers connect members or and their families to real
people for help with companion care, for example, everyday task, transportation, and more.
So this
is one option. Another one is one that's called RentAFriend where you can see you can earn up
to $50 per hour. Of course, there's no guarantee you'll earn this because people need to be willing
to pay that. So you need to look at what people they actually um are willing to pay in your local
area. It can for example be to go out for meals, for concerts, sporting events and more if they
need companion.
But be aware of course it is to be a friend. There's nothing else going on there.
They have very strict rules about that. So just want to make that clear. Personally, this here
particular one here I find a little bit strange. It's not something for me. But it is an option.
I know some people are making decent money like this. Of course there's a huge competition and
need to do it with the right expectations. So, I also do have, of course, more information about
both of these options here on my website.
So, if you want to know more details to find out if
it's for you, you can also find more information about this, but I just wanted to present it so you
have a wide range of opportunities of different methods and then you can figure out yourself which
ones are the best for you. So, as you can see, there are quite a lot of different ways to make
some extra money. And I have shown you some very different options.
[clears throat] Some from just
sitting at home starting right away to where you have to go out and be a little bit more active
where you can then potentially also grow it into something bigger. There is no best method. It
all depends on your goals, your interest, your preferences, all these different things. So that's
why I presented so many different options. And for each of these methods, there are many different
platforms you can join.
So you'll definitely not run out of tasks if you just make sure to join
the best of the options within each category. And I have mentioned throughout this video here also I
have more information about the different options, full list, full tutorials, all that on my
website. So I'll leave links to this below. So if you're interested in knowing more about
them or anything like that before you decide, then you can just check that out. And if you have
any questions, any experiences with any of these method or any other methods, then please just
feel free to share it in the comments.
I love to hear from all of you and I make sure to reply
to every single comment. Once in a while there are some people that say why I didn't reply or why the
comment get deleted. I just want to make it clear I am not deleting any comments as long as it's not
spam and as long as it's not abusive or anything like that.
But sometimes the comment system here
can be a little bit tricky and sometimes it a comment can get lost or get deleted uh without me
actually knowing it. So just wanted to make that clear because some people have mentioned this.
So just want to give an explanation. But anyways, if this video helped you, then also please
