START A BLOG
If you are thinking of making money online, consider starting a blog. I know a few online businesses that do not have a blog. They are purely making money using social media platforms by partnering up with brands. They have worked hard to earn a massive following on social media and brands are paying them as high as $250 – $5000 per post. But having a blog makes it so much easy to be found, showcase yourself and it’s the perfect way to display your portfolio. You can start a blog for as low as $3.95 per month with BlueHost, a reputable company that we use. You can follow our step by step guide to setting up your own blog right here: How to start a WordPress blog on Bluehost.
SIGN UP WITH MAVEN X
Do you have a big social media influence? Maven is the new Pinterest. It lets you monetize things you find on the website by sharing it on its platform. When people purchase from your board, you get a commission from it. This platform is amazing, so easy to use and it is absolutely FREE to join. I joined it last month and started experimenting. I made a whopping $44 on my first try out. It’s perfect for bloggers that sell items on their blogs. If you are a beauty blogger, fashion blogger, an entrepreneur that has e-products, financial blogger or you are just good at finding great deals, then use this platform. You can read the full review right here: How to monetize your blog using social media as a platform. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU FILL UP YOUR PROFILE AND ADD YOUR BLOG LINK TO GET CREDIT!

This is my all-time favorite recommendation to you. Did you know that you could add another $500 to your monthly income by taking surveys? My recommended survey company is SwagBucks. They are so easy to use and the payout is amazing. If you really focus on making this outlet your monthly extra income side hustle, you need to be consistent.

CREATE AN E-BOOK TODAY
Are you an expert on something? Do you have lots of blogs written up? Why not turn them into e-books? I created an ebook and I am slowly making some great income from it.

If you really want to create a profitable e-book, I would suggest grabbing this e-book that will guide you through the process!
Once you have a topic in mind and are ready to create your book. Take about 1 month to create your product and crafting out the perfect launch plan for success!

This is really informative. I didn’t know about Maven at all. I definitely bookmark your post when I start with affiliate program.
I love Maven!
I just checked out Mavenx after reading your post.
Woohoo.
I do surveys already and am slowly making money with my own Bucket List Project Blog so I am very excited but I had never heard of MavenX so I may have to use that for monetization cause google ads have been sad.
I am glad things are looking great!
Great tips! I have a blog, and make use of affiliates, but haven’t looked into eBooks yet.
eBooks are great for sure!
i hadn’t heard of maven x but will be checking it out, thanks!
You should try Maven!
Thanks for these tips! I’ve long wanted to start monetizing my blog, but haven’t quite taken those steps yet/known where to start. Glad I found this post and your Facebook group! Excited to start learning.
Wooohoo I am glad too!
Great advice! I’ve been thinking about creating an e-book for a while.
Go for it!
These are some good side hustles. I am a member of cashcrate and inboxdollars but I have never heard of Maven X. I will have to check that out. Thanks for sharing this with us!
You are welcome!
This is seriously so useful, I don’t think I’d heard of Maven before reading this. Thanks!
Maven is amazing!
great tips for hustling! Just finished my first ebook. It comes out in three days!
I am glad! Now sell it and get your money!
Great ideas! I pinned this to go back and try to do a few of these. I had never heard of MavenX before, so I’m excited to check it out!
You will like Maven!
I’m new to the blogging world so this info is great!
Welcome to the blogging world!
We are all working on getting our side hustle on! That’s what being an entrepreneur is all about! Thanks for sharing
You are welcome!
This is a great post! As a serial entrepreneur and new blogger I needed this! I am pinning for future reference, thanks dear! <3

I am glad you stopped by!
I tried taking surveys some years ago but never seemed to reach cash out point so I’m a bit cautious now, do the sites you mention make money from referrals only or can you earn points from actually doing what they ask. As I said I’ve been burnt already many hours wasted and no pay outs.
Surveys are great way to make side income. You can refer, you can do them and plenty of other ways.
This are great tips -I had not heard of Maven…..clearly I live under a rock 😉 Great article. thanks!
You will love Maven!
I already got blogging down. I guess I’ll have to try others. I never make money from surveys though. I dunno why.
Surveys rock!
Thanks for sharing this.
I was doing 3/5 of these side hustles and soon to be 4/5 – signed up to be an affiliate. Thanks for the opportunity! 🙂
I am glad Heather!
Wow. Great article. I was not aware of some points like online surveys. Also an e book sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing this information.
You are welcome. I am glad you found the article interesting.
Never heard of Maven C so I’ll totally check it out.
Maven rocks!
I absolutely love this! I already signed up for Maven and I’ll give it a go!
Great, I am so happy for you!
So many great ideas here! Can’t wait to get started 😀
Brilliant. Have never heard of Maven. I will be researching ASAP!
Great. It will work nicely in your niche!
Thanks so much for this great article i really appreciate how you pointing out the many different ways we can make money online. However not all of them are for international bloggers.
Where are you located?
Great suggestions! Will help many who need a direction.
I’d never heard of Maven X, but I really need to get my head around affiliate marketing and writing e-books. It just all comes down to time. Sigh.
Affiliate marketing is the best way to make money online. Extremely easy too!
Haven’t heard of Maven X but will definitely check them out!
All the Best,
Jan Limark | Brotherly Creative
Let me know what you think about it Jan!
Never heard of Maven & will be checking that out!
Your site has such great resources!

You introduced me to Maven a couple of days ago through another post. I LOVE IT! Thank you so much. <3
You are welcome, Celia. Thank you so much. Let me know if you like it.
Didn’t know about the surveys. Great tip. So many great ways to monetize.

Thanks!
Fantastic Becca!
First of all I literally googled for an hour to find good tips before this. I am checking out maven and a few of the other places you recommended. My search has ended you awesome!
Awww I am glad you found the post useful!
Pinning this for SURE and looking at Maven tonight. This is pretty awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing Kristin!
Thanks for the tips. I’ve never heard of Maven. I’ll have to look into that and swagbucks.
You will like them both for sure. I love using them and they are bringing in passive income slowly. I know that very soon this will be huge!
I love swagbucks, I do them all year. Save them all up for Christmas time. I’m checking out a couple others, thanks for the great tips!
Swagbucks rocks!
I love taking surveys! So easy and worth it! Definitely checking out Maven X.
Maven is awesome!
These are new to me. Maven X and how to create ebook from your existing post. Sometimes I just wonder how to create ebook that is not blogging related.
Maven is great! But creating your own product is even better!
Great post, lots of take-aways!
I am glad you liked it!
Oh great to see some MavenX love! I signed up a few months ago but I haven’t really integrated it with my blog content.
Also joining your affiliate program! I didn’t realize you had one. Would definitely be useful to some of my readers I bet.
What I’m personally working on are COURSES yay. I’m actually supposed to be recording videos for my WordPress course right now and I’ve got a free Pinterest one in the works. It’s so much fun!
I love Maven! I am glad you joined my affiliate. Let me know if you need help with promoting?
I love the e-book suggestion…I’m brainstorming one right now! x
I’m also looking for a host for my blog, gonna check out Bluehost, thanks!
Yeah! That’s fantastic Talisa! Great name you have!
Awesome! I’m interested in Swagbucks and the affiliate program. Need to play affiliate marketing game.
That’s fantastic!
I am a newbie and have heard of some of these and some are new to me. very helpful guide you have created here.
I am glad you stopped by!
Great idea! I will check out SwagBucks!
Fantastic! Let me know what you think!
i’ve wanted to write an ebook (well, just a book, but an ebook would count) but right now i seem to be at a complete loss as to what
Take time to think about it. Why not turn a few of your blogs into an e-book?
Great tips, we all need to have more than one way to make money so that our income can be a bit more versatile. As most of us know, working from home isn’t always steady work and income.
Exactly! I think having multiple streams of income will make it easy for bloggers to be more consistent!
neve heard of maven! but i’m new to the blogging world, i’m always looking for some new side hustles 🙂
You should definitely sign up for Maven!
I’m definitely going to try the surveys.
Let me know how you do!
I will definitely be checking out Maven! Thank you for sharing!
Maven is amazing for sure!
Awesome tips!! I used to love Swagbucks, but it took so long for me to complete the surveys. Now I just use it when I’m going to make a purchase through another site. It really is a great way to earn some extra cash. And I’ve been wanting to write an e-book, so this is a great resource. Thank you!
Do it! Go ahead and publish your e-book!
This is great! I’m still just working on growing my viewers, but I will definitely keep these tips in mind when it comes time to try and monetize! =) Thanks!
Wonderful Melody!
great tips!

You are welcome Kelsey!
Hi there
You mention having eBooks that one can sell as an affiliate,but you did not say what eBooks they are.30% commission is brilliant.
Thanks for sharing
I’ve signed up for several survey sites and I’m slowly getting into the routine of answering a few a day. I haven’t been successful with affiliates though…I need to put more thought into that!
Affiliates are amazing if you can really boost it!
Thank you for these tips! I definitely wasn’t aware of Maven X and was only vaguely aware of Swagbucks, so I will be trying those out 🙂
Fantastic Alicia!
I have never heard of Maven X. I will have to check it out!
These are all wonderful ideas. I love blogging as a side hustle. It’s so fun, and it’s helped me build a brand online!
Yes blogging is absolutely fun!
