Earn $100 Extra- 16 Quick and Legit Ways

Remember the times you were some 10 years old…

Can you remember how cheap was everything? There was so much to buy in $100. You most probably were only concerned about your snacks or toys. But it’s no lie that everything else was cheaper too, food, transport and anything you can think of.

Now, you have a job but you’re barely saving anything for your future… and you’re stressed about the ever-rising inflation.

So, I just want you to imagine what an extra $100 would look like. It would look like having your trip you’ve been pending for so long now. It would look like an anxiety-free evening with your family, where you decide on the future college of your kid without thinking twice about the fee.

But for now, you are so stuck that an extra $100 seems like a dream that can never be real. But what if I told you some crazy easy ways to make money?

The options are so simple, and there are so many choices you can make, that your jaw would break open.

So let’s just get started.

Have you ever filled out surveys? For your school or something? Remember how easy it was? Well, what if I tell you that you can get paid for doing a task as minimal as filling out surveys?

So how do you get started?

You just go to the sites that offer money to know your opinion about something. It could be for their product, for knowing market trends, or literally anything else.

And of course, I care about you. And I don’t want you to go searching for those sites, so I’ll just
give you names.

These are the four popular sites that would pay you for filling out those surveys.

Some of these sites give you a sign-up bonus too. So you just arrived and you get $5 or $10 straight away.

You got a skill that can provide value in the real world? Make use of it. And how’d you do that? Let’s take a scenario where we’re assuming you can write well.

You just write some really strong content for your portfolio. You build a free Google Docs or Canva portfolio that showcases your writing skills.

What’s next? Client hunting.

You go to Freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork. You follow the standard procedure and apply for jobs. And if you’re consistent enough, there’s no limit, you can convert your $100 into much more.

This was just for writing, but you can apply it to any job you want i.e. Web development, Graphic designing, etc.

Gaming isn’t a hobby, it’s a passion. And what if you combine your passion with money? Sounds good? Here’s how you can do it. So the thing is, there are many games that can pay you and if you’re good at it, you can make money real quick.

I’ll tell you about 2 games you gotta check to let that money in.

Solitaire Clash

Win cash prizes by playing this game where you compete with fellow players. Race with other people with a modern twist. Enjoy the game and generate a small income every time.

Bingo Clash

Do you like Bingo? If yes, then you wanna try your luck playing Bingo Clash. Fast-paced bingo games and tournaments where you can play in real-time and win amazing cash prizes.

Blogging, now hear me, is a work of great patience. But it also is an awesome way to generate passive income. You can take your income up to $1000/month if you do it right. Wanna know an interesting thing about blogging? You can start from literally any topic of your choice.

You like talking about finance? Do it. You are a doctor? Talk about that. You want others to know about your teaching experiences? Just write about it. It’s that easy.

Now, let’s talk about how exactly you can make money through your blog.

Three ways you can generate some good passive money are:

Another way to earn an extra $100 is to become a virtual assistant.

“And how do I become a virtual assistant?”

It’s actually pretty easy. Again, you just leverage your relevant skill set. For example, if you’re a good communicator, you can help a business with its customer support. Similarly, you can help businesses with keeping their emails and contacts. You can help them manage their social media accounts, or you can assist them in designing the right visuals.

Like I said, the possibilities are endless and you can make things work on your own terms. You can also have flexible work hours since you do everything staying right at your place.

Do you have a keen eye for spotting mistakes? Can you see the typo in this sentence? Well, if that’s you, then why wait? Just go and earn money by proofreading documents.

In these technology-driven times, the amount of content produced everywhere is huge. And oftentimes there’s no one to review it and free it of typos. In fact, even AI can fail you sometimes.

So here’s when you enter. You just offer your services to the business that needs them. Again, you got to have some testimonials with you so that you can be trusted.

And that’s all, you’re good to go.

While reselling might sound overrated, it’s a really good way to get some cash and it takes minimal effort. All you need for this to work is a good eye for deals and valuable stuff.

You could pick things from thrift stores, Facebook marketplace, or some old garage, or you could even take items from your own home that you don’t use anymore.

You could start with anything you like. But after a while, you would like to limit yourself to a certain niche so that people know you when they wanna find that thing.

A few suggestions I can give you about niche are:

Reselling, if done right, can work crazy well. Watch this video of a girl who bought a house by reselling a simple bobby pin.

This idea is the Guru of all other earning ideas. Imagine if you generate enough passive income to cover your expenses, you won’t have to work.

Finance experts also encourage you to get luxuries through your passive income and not the active one. So what can you do in this regard? Well, I’ve got some ideas for you.

Now, this might seem simple but I suggest you try to get background know-how of anything you wanna invest in. And that should do. There are chances that you won’t make much at the start, but once it’s going smoothly, you’re gonna thank me for this.

Tutoring is kind of a go-to thing for many people. You know something? Just teach it to others. You can either teach in your local school, or you could go for online tutoring.

There are many websites where students are swarming and they need guidance in almost every subject. So don’t waste time and get yourself registered. You wanna use all your certifications when you for this option.

Top tutoring sites are:

With the advent of digital marketing and advertising, it’s becoming crucial more than ever to promote your business on social media. But oftentimes, businesses especially the small-scale ones, don’t know much about it.

So if you’ve got Facebook or Instagram skills, put them to work and get paid in return. You can talk to the customers, you can schedule posts and so much more. Social Media Management is probably the easiest way to make good money swiftly and efficiently.

If you’re into making large profits and you know where to buy something from wholesale, go for dropshipping. It’s not that easy compared to the past now. But dropshipping is still something that can help you make good money. All you have to do is follow these steps:

Do you have a knack for grabbing attention? Do you say things that people like, or do they bring value to others’ lives? Don’t wait then, go to YouTube and make your channel.

Have a theme for your YouTube channel and choose a niche. Then start uploading content.

The fun thing about YouTube is, that you can put literally anything there. You know how to cook? Post it there. You love talking about Politics? Put it on YouTube. You’re a teacher? Talk about that.

The limit on YouTube is nothing but the mighty sky itself. So don’t limit your potential and just start posting. YouTube pays really well once your channel is monetized.

Here’s how you can create a Faceless YouTube channel step by step. (Interlinking the older
article here).

Remember the good times, when you didn’t have financial struggles (at least as much as now). You used to have hobbies but now you barely get time for that…

Well, I got a good news for you. Because if you ever were passionate about creating art, now is the time to make it bring you money. Am I kidding? No, I’m not. Selling printables is a trending way to make income and if your product becomes viral, you can generate more than $100 easily.

So how does it work?

It simply involves you creating a digital design (on Canva or similar apps) and then printing it on a shirt, a water bottle, or anything. The good thing is you don’t need to have the shirts or anything. You just create it and people who got shirts sell it. They do the printing, shipping, and everything else for you. And you get the profit.

Sounds good? Go check Etsy and similar platforms where you can sell printables easily!

Now now, writing’s your passion? Make it your profession. Bring life to your stories and compile them in the form of books. Then put them on Amazon’s Kindle. That’s all you gotta do and you get money out of it. Although, writing a book is a task in itself, and then you don’t get the recognition overnight, do you?

So, for that purpose, I suggest you build an audience too, that can bring get you people who would buy from you.

Creating online courses is a good way to earn money. People would buy anything with value. And it’s so easy these days with ChatGPT.

Harsh created his course using ChatGPT and that got him rolling! You can do it too, just read the article here. To post your courses, you can either post them on Udemy or your own website.

Almost 3 billion people use Facebook daily. But only a few million use LinkedIn or X. It means these platforms are not saturated and have amazing opportunities hidden there.

So, these platforms are really good for building your personal brand and getting an audience. What you can do here, is help businesses write their tweets and posts.

It’s not really difficult. If you have a strategy that works for your posts and you get crazy engagement, transform it into a neat document form. Roll out the document to friends, and other connections. Ask them to give you testimonials and feedback.

That’s all you need. After collecting the testimonials you just show them to your prospects and get hired as a ghostwriter.

Conclusion

So this is where I leave you. And I assure you these ways do work with guarantee, given that you stay consistent. $100/month isn’t a goal that big, and with proper direction you can change it to $1000 too! So don’t wait, and get started now.
