We all could do with a few extra
dollars in our pocket, but unless your boss is a fan of giving you free money, you’ll
have to work for it. Thankfully, you can do a lot of that work in your spare
time. Here are some of the best ways to make some extra money, ranging from the
super-lazy to the intensely-engaged.
The amount of money you can make
from a side gig depends on your skills and time commitment. Maybe you’re just
looking for some extra spending money, or maybe you have a specific goal. Here
are some options to consider, sorted by how much effort you’ll need to put in.

The best money-making techniques
are the ones that require the least effort, right? If you’re super lazy or
you’re already tapped out, try these methods to make money in the little spare
time you have.
Sell Your Unwanted Stuff
The fastest (and admittedly most
obvious) way to make some extra money is sell stuff you don’t want. Have a ton
of books you’ve read or don’t read? Try to sell them before you donate them. Old
furniture you’d like to replace? Offload it to a neighbour or via eBay. We’ve
shown you how to sell just about anything for the most possible money, and the
beauty is that once you’ve done the legwork of taking pictures and writing a
good description of your item, you’re good to go.
Whether you’re decluttering
because you just have too much stuff, or you’re downsizing for another reason, you
can make a tidy sum from your old furniture, electronics, media, toys and other
unwanted items. You may need to hang onto them until they sell, but once they
do, you’ll be happier with the cash than you were with the thing that was taking
up space, we promise.
