I also spent way, way more money than I normally would for two reasons. First, I loved the product and couldn\u2019t find it anywhere else and second, I wanted to support fellow entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re crafty whether that be making actual physical products like picture frames, candles or soap or are very good at making digital prints, Etsy could be quite profitable.<\/p>\n<p>(I paid $42 for three digital print photos! Besides the ink and three pieces of paper that\u2019s all pure profit for the seller!)<\/p>\n<h2>Test Websites<\/h2>\n<p>Like it sounds, website testers test the \u201cusability\u201d of websites. As a website tester you look at the overall layout of a website, critique it, and make a video of it. You can get paid around $10 per website tested which generally takes around 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The work might not be extremely consistent but the good news is you only have to review 50 websites to earn that extra $500 per month from home. That\u2019s not a bad deal!<\/p>\n<h2>Write Articles<\/h2>\n<p>The pay you can earn from writing articles varies greatly. You can earn anywhere from $5-$500 for a 500 word article.<\/p>\n<p>If you start at out working for a content mill, like TextBroker for example, you\u2019re only go to make $5-$10 per article. If you go out and find your own clients you can start out in the $20-$30 range or more, depending on your skills.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"How Freelancing Can Help You Work Less and Earn More\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cultofmoney.com\/2014\/09\/24\/how-freelancing-can-help-you-work-less-and-earn-more\/\">If you decided to freelance<\/a> and find your own clients you\u2019d only have to write 17 articles a month to earn $500 at a rate of $30 per article.<\/p>\n<h2>Babysit<\/h2>\n<p>Babysitting is one of those tried, true, and will always be around ways to make money from home. If you babysat one kid at $10 an hour you\u2019d only need to work 50 hours per month for the $500. Get a second kid to watch and you\u2019ve cut your time in half.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good solution for someone who likes kids and has no interest in working online.<\/p>\n<p>There are a ton of options when it comes to earning extra money from home. If you feel like nothing on this list applies to you just do a couple of quick Google searches and you\u2019ll end up with more ideas than you can possibly read.<\/p>\n<h2>Bonus: Become a Search Engine Evaluator<\/h2>\n<p>Search engine evaluators are hired by search engines like Google to verify the accuracy of certain search engine results. These jobs typically pay around $10-$12 per hour which would mean you\u2019d need to work 50 hours per month to earn the extra $500.<\/p>\n<p>You can sign up for search engine evaluator jobs through places like LeapForce.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Ways To Make Money From Home<\/h2>\n<p>If you still want more ways to make money from home, check out this amazing list of <a href=\"http:\/\/thecollegeinvestor.com\/14608\/make-money-fast-side-hustling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">50+ Ways To Make Money Fast By Side Hustling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Have you ever made money online?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking to make some extra money from home?
