Hey I'm Adam Jusko from ProudMoney.com and in this video i am going
to be talking about different ways you can make money if you don't want to have
a regular job or if you can't have a regular job. You know, you might be
someone that needs to stay at home for one reason or another... whether that is
children or older parents you're taking care of or maybe you're with a
military family that is going to move or whatever your situation is... you want to
make some money but you can't take on a full-time job outside of the house, so
you need something that has some flexibility. We're going to talk about
what some opportunities are to do that and then we're also going to talk about
maybe some one-offs if you just want to make a little money, you know, here and
there, but it's not going to be something that is semi-permanent or
something that you're going to do for the long term. So, on the page here... on the
YouTube page... you will see a link to our page on ProudMoney.com where we
actually talk about all the opportunities we'll talk about here and
there are some other ones on there as well. Didn't want this video to go on
forever and some of them are, you know, so small they aren't necessarily worth
looking at in the video form. So check out that page and also subscribe to our
YouTube channel if you would. OK, so let's look at the opportunities. Number
one is Uber and/or Lyft. If you are someone who has a car and is willing to
drive it, this is a way for you to make some money. You can obviously
download the app and you can become an Uber or Lyft driver fairly easily. You
obviously have to be someone who's willing to drive other people around and
to use your own car, and so this is sort of like... it's a low hurdle in a way, but
it's also a high hurdle for a lot of people who don't want strangers getting
into their back seats or don't have the time to
spend to do this. Various Uber drivers make different amounts of money
based on when they're willing to work, how long they're willing to work,
all that sort of thing. But if you are sort of... you need flexibility
but you're committed to really working a good number of hours, Uber or
Lyft is one of the ways to do it... you can become a driver with one of those
services. The second way is sort of a bigger way... it's work at home
jobs in general. There are multiple companies that hire work-at-home people,
mostly to do customer service over the phone. So a lot of these are big
companies, though. Amazon, Apple, Enterprise rent-a-car, Hilton. There are an awful lot
of companies that will hire you to work out of your house. Some of these are
part-time jobs, some of these are full-time jobs. And in addition to the
companies hiring you directly, there are also agencies that will hire
you as well. And that means that you may work for multiple clients, but it's the
same situation. You'll need to have a, you know, place in your house where you have
a high-speed internet connection and you have access to be able to talk
to people on the phone. Some of this is selling but more often it's actually
either answering questions or taking reservations or doing those
sorts of things. Doing customer service troubleshooting more often than selling,
but there could be selling involved, depending on the job you are talking
about. We have a whole page at ProudMoney.com of work at home jobs and which
are the most interesting opportunities that are happening at
any time. You can find those off of the same page that is linked to with
this video, so check those out. Next thing is TaskRabbit. TaskRabbit is an app that
you can put on your phone and it is sort of like an Uber or Lyft but it is for
doing sort of odd jobs for people. So you sign up for TaskRabbit... there are jobs
out there in your area, they may be things like helping to put
together furniture or helping someone move or, you know, doing someone's grocery
shopping or any kind of little service that for whatever reason
somebody else can't do. They can put it on TaskRabbit and you on the other hand
could take that opportunity and say that you are... you're good to
go... you want to do that. So that is something that
basically gives you great flexibility. You can take on the type of jobs that
fit who you are and what you know how to do and what your
time situation is. Another one is Fiverr, which is in some ways similar in
concept to TaskRabbit but this is more for, you know, for the most part for
creative folks. So for people who do writing or design work or, you know, the
kind of work that you might think of as more marketing work. Now there may be
other things you do, too, but a lot of it... I think, when you think of
Fiverr, it is more jobs that have to do with graphics and writing and that sort
of thing so if you are in that area you can check that out, and, you know, sort of
put up a page for yourself as to what your skills are and then you
can also see what jobs are out there. So essentially it's... if you're
already sort of in these fields you know what freelancing is all about, so it's
basically another way for you to pick up jobs as a freelancer.
There's a good amount a competition out there, because a lot of people have
these skills and want to do this kind of work, but if you have the right
skills and you do good work, you can find some some jobs there. Now, there
are... another idea here... there are multiple companies that work with the major
search engines to get search engine evaluators. One of them is called Leap
Force and there are others as well. Again, you'll see on our page the links to a
couple of them to follow up on that. But basically, you know, you work at home and
you get guidelines as to what search results should look
like or, you know, what the ideal search result could look like and then you do
various searches and you sort of evaluate: how are the search
engines doing? Are they giving you what you need or are they not? Are things ranking...
is sort of bad content ranking above the better content
that you think most people, you know, would prefer to see? So that's sort of
that job - sounds pretty interesting. The next is be a "virtual assistant"
which goes along with some of these other things. You work at home doing, you
know, various tasks that an assistant would do. So it's almost like
being an office assistant. You're doing things more like maybe transcription or
writing letters... there may be some marketing materials that go
into that... there's a lot of different things that a "virtual assistant" means
depending on who you're talking to. So one of the big
sites to look at for virtual assistants is Upwork. There are a lot of listings
there for people who are looking for virtual assistants. Again, this is on our
page... so any of the things I talked about... you can go to the page on ProudMoney
and follow those to get these links. But again, that is Upwork.
Now... going offline a little bit... the old standby is doing sitting -- babysitting or
pet sitting. There is, you know, almost no limit to the amount that some people
will pay to have their their kids and/or their pets taken good care of. In fact,
some people probably are more worried about having their pets taken good care
of. I know that I in the past of taking vacations where I had to, you know,
figure out how much we were gonna have to pay to have our pets taken care of
and figure that into the vacation to see if we could actually afford to do it.
There's pretty decent money and, you know, taking care of people's pets when
they're not around, and/or their homes while while you're
doing the pet sitting if they want that service. And then obviously the old
standby... babysitting. Any age, obviously, can do this and, you know, the money is
not what it was 40 years ago. You can make more than minimum wage for
most people when you babysit, especially if you're an adult... someone who can drive,
bring kids around, and obviously have a little more experience than, you know, a
13 or 14 year old who... there's what you think of as your traditional
babysitter. So there is money to be made there, obviously there's flexibility in
doing that as well. And then finally... sort of on the the bigger earning potentials...
there's temporary work. You probably already know about
temporary work. You go to a temp agency, fill out a million zillion forms, and
then, you know, they call you when there is potential work to do. Now not everyone
likes dealing with temp agencies, but if you do sign yourself up with multiples
you have the opportunity to potentially work when you are available and
potentially have the, you know, some flexibility not only to work when you're
available but also to sort of do one-off projects where
they only need you for a day or two. And so you don't have to commit to
something long-term. The only downside to temp agencies is if they give you
opportunities and you continually turn them down, after a while they won't give
you opportunities anymore. So you kind of have to figure out, you know, let them
know in advance exactly what your availability is and make sure
that you do some of the work instead of being signed up for
all these things and then turning everything down just waiting for that
perfect thing. So... those are kind of the bigger ones, if you want to, you know,
really find some gigs that give you money on an ongoing basis. Some of
these next ideas are really more "one-off" things like, you know... I need money now, I
need money in the next week, I need money in the next month, I have to
kind of generate some cash for whatever reason. And so here
are some of these. Number one is sell your stuff. You've got Craigslist,
you've got eBay. Obviously those are ways to, you know, make a little bit
of money in the short term. Some people even go to garage sales and make even a
little business out of buying things cheap and reselling them on the other
end. So that is an option. You could become a mystery shopper, which sounds like, you
know, a complete scam, but there really are mystery shoppers out there in the
world that do go to stores and, you know, check out what the
customer service experience is. Again, you can go to the website and find out where
some of those, you know, sort of legitimate mystery shopper companies are
out there and see how to get yourself hooked up with that. Signup bonuses for
credit cards and checking accounts --- there are ways to make substantial money
in a very short time if you are willing to either spend a little money or
open a checking account. With credit cards, there are multiple cards that have
$150 to $200 bonuses right now if you spend 500 bucks in the first three
months of having the card. So if you get one of these cards and you put
your spending on it that you would normally do anyway...
and pay it off as you go along, you could find
yourself with an extra 150 or 200 bucks in the next couple of
months here. It's a great way to, you know, make a chunk of money when you need it
in the short term and it's really not all that difficult to do if you have...
if you just put your regular spending on a credit card. Obviously you
have to be careful and make sure you're paying those things off -- you don't want
to get yourself in debt while you're trying to make $150, that sort of defeats
the purpose of what we're talking about here. There are also checking and savings
accounts that do the same thing. Again, go on our website and you will be able to
find out what some of those are. What else do we have? There are clinical
trials around the country. So if you have a medical center near you, you don't have
to be sick, necessarily, to be in a clinical trial. There
are all sorts of trials out there where they pay people who are well to
actually be part of their trial, you know, depending on what the
situation is. It might be an exercise trial, it might be, you know, some
sort of medicine that is not so much geared to a particular ailment. So
you don't necessarily have to be sick to be in a clinical trial and you can make
some money doing it. Another thing in the sort of healthcare area is a
"standardized patient." Many teaching hospitals, there are programs where
basically they use fake patients to talk to their doctors who are learning how to
deal with patients. So you essentially are being an actor for a day, and you go
in and you pretend to be a patient and the doctor who is learning asks you
questions and you sort of have a script that you work off of.
And then you get paid to do it. And there are a lot of hospitals that do
this... it's sort of a not very well-known thing, but once you get into
it you'll find out there are a lot of opportunities... I've also heard
that some law firms do the same thing... where they have people be, you know, fake
clients for new lawyers as well. So that's something to check out as well.
The last thing we have here, and this is again not for everyone, but if you are in
a place where there is, you know, filming being done, you can be a background actor
or what we used to call an "extra." And you will get paid for the day. It's not great
money, it's usually probably minimum wage... but it's not just if there are major
movies or television shows around though. You know, many cities, they need
extras and background actors even for local commercials and those sorts of
things, so there are opportunities out there. And now that you have the internet,
there's so many ways to find people and find agencies and find these
opportunities that you never would have really known how to find before. You
know, you can go online and you know search for video companies or
advertising companies in your area and search for, you know, background actor
opportunities, that sort of thing. So, you know, if you're in some cities
obviously opportunities are going to be better but there are opportunities in
many cities that you probably don't even realize because they're not like big
hubs for movies and TV but they are still doing a lot of productions on
a smaller scale. So sort of the big, I guess, takeaway there is keep your eyes
open. There are opportunities all over the place, but a lot of them are not very
well-known. I've given you a long list and I've given you some, you know, sort of
obvious ones but some sort of not obvious ones and some maybe even
strange ones and there are even more if you go to the page on our site where we
have some more ideas on these types of opportunities. But keep your
eyes open and there are plenty of good ways to make money without having a
regular job. Thanks for watching. Please go to ProudMoney.com

personal finance stuff going on. We have all kinds of lists of best products and
interesting personal finance stuff that will help you over the long
haul. Thanks again for watching. Take care.
