Making money online is not always as easy as it seems. In fact, some people are struggling to make just a dollar a day from home. It could be due to the fact that some of the sites you are using make it very difficult to earn cash are not worth your time, or only offer rewards like gift cards and prizes.
Don’t give up yet because there are some sites that you can use that make it possible for you to earn $250 a week for just a few hours a day. You may have to think outside the box or be willing to get out of your comfort zone but if you put in the hard work and are not afraid to take chances and try something new, you may discover that achieving $250 a week is practical and easier to attain than expected.
You may think that $250 is not a lot of money but I have configured this amount for those who want to work only 5 days a week and possibly have weekends off. That amounts to $50 a day. If you decide to work more days then, the dollar amount will be higher.
Here are a few ideas that will help you to reach your goal! Please keep in mind that you may have to use more than one site at a time for a steady income.
Online course
Have you ever thought about taking a couple of days to create your own online course for millions of students around the world to take? It could prove to be a very lucrative career move, especially if you have a catchy title and great content to support your course. Start a rough draft of your course and incorporate visuals in the form of presentation slides to make it come alive. You will be surprised just how easy it can be to create your online course.
I personally use Udemy for my online courses which you can check out here. How to Find Legitimate work at home Jobs and How to start a blog with Blogger or WordPress.

Teachers with EF enjoy the ability to choose their own work-from-home schedule, ability to bring their own teaching style to our custom-designed classroom, and receive local, US, and UK-based support and payment. Teachers with EF earn up to $16 per hour.
Stylist
Become a personal stylist for others and share styles with friends at in-home sessions, on your website, or on social media. You can also earn when you bring other stylists on board. In just 3-5 hours a week, you can earn from $160 up to $400 a week with Stella & Dot! Strong sellers who work part-time can make up to $2,800 a month.
Videos
Making, uploading, and publishing videos to sites like YouTube and others will only work if you are consistent in making new videos available as well as coming up with original content. Focus more on the content rather than the money and it will come if you put in the hard work. You could set aside just an hour a week to have a new video read. Before you know it, your earnings will gradually increase especially if you get a lot of views and engagement. Some of the most popular channels are those that review products, movies, gadgets, toys, etc. Gaming, cooking, makeup and decorating channels are also very popular and grab viewers’ attention.
Your pets could even make a successful YouTube channel. Everybody loves watching funny videos, so if you are able to capture those funny moments, you could definitely use YouTube as a way to make hundreds of dollars a week. Feel free to check out my channel here. (I can attest to the fact that YouTube really does work).
Blog/Website
This cannot be stated or overstated enough. Having your own blog or website will enable you to make money every single day! You can generate money not just by publishing new posts on your blog but with sponsored text links, sponsored posts, banners, advertisers you promote, affiliate companies, use it to sell your own stuff, with pop-ups, as an ambassador for various businesses and the list literally goes on and on. You can get a free basic website from Weebly or use BlueHost, which I personally recommend to accomplish all your blogging needs for less than $5 a month. It will be well worth the investment.
Photos
Shutterstock is a company that will pay you for your images. Each time someone downloads a photo that you have submitted to Shutterstock, you will earn $0.25. This amount increases after you have earned $500 and it continues to increase from there. If you have photography experience and would like to be a contributor to Shutterstock, I would recommend you use this site to make money with your photos.
Airbnb will pay you to list your space including how many people you can accommodate for extra cash. You can earn over $15,000 a year with Airbnb. Payments are made via PayPal, Direct deposit, or international wire.
Rent your Car

This popular company is one of the best sites to use to get cashback on your purchases. Not only can you make money with this site when you shop but you can earn $50 if you refer just 2 of your friends to use Ebates. If 25 of your friends join, that is an extra $400 in your pocket just for getting them to try this free service. You will need to be a member before you make money by referring others.
This is one of the most lucrative market research panels for referrals that I have seen.

Every single time they complete a poll, you will earn income until that amount reaches $25.

Donations
If you live in Massachusetts and are between 18-50 years old with a BMI of 30 or less, you will receive $40 for each donation you give. You will need to pass a health assessment, stool test, and blood test. If this is acceptable, you can donate for 60 days. After 60 days you will be assessed again and if everything is satisfactory, you can donate for another 60 days. Please keep in mind that you will be required to donate several times a week during the 60 days.
