If you are not familiar with get-paid-to sites, it’s a platform where people can make money by doing tasks like surveys, watching videos, installing apps, and so on.

You won’t be making a quit-your-job kind of income from these sites but you can work on these sites as a side hustle to pay your small bills or for coffee money.

On average, one can earn $100-$200 / month) from these sites.

I recommend you to join all the following survey sites, so you never run out of high-paying surveys and tasks to complete and make money. If one survey site doesn’t have any more surveys, you can work on another.

Some of the best GPT sites are as follows:

1.Survey Junkie: Survey Junkie is one of the highest-paying and trust survey sites in the industry. You can earn as high as $50 per survey and withdraw your earnings via PayPal or Giftcards. The payout threshold is just $5 so you can expect to cash out quickly from the platform.

What I like about ySense is that a lot of higher-paying surveys are available on the platform and you can make good money from it.

2. Sell T-Shirts Online

Make money online selling tshirts

What If I told you that anyone can start a T-shirt or clothing company without any investments.

Well, some of you might say, that’s unbelievable or impossible.

But to be honest, you can start your own clothing brand with a little bit of effort and completely for free.

You can start your own Custom printed T-shirts selling business using print on demand (POD) companies.

Basically, these POD sites provide you the platform to upload and sell your T-shirts design.

Best part?

The POD sites handle the printing, shipping, returns, and customer support services, so you can sell your T-shirts without any hassle.

But!

You need to have some graphic design skills or you can hire someone from Fiverr to do the design work for you.

If you don’t want to pay someone for the work, you can watch simple tutorials on youtube to get the basics of some Graphic design tools like Photoshop or Illustrator.

Once you get the basics, you can get started making T-shirt designs. Most of the POD sites provide an online Design tool that you can use to design the shirt and upload it on the site.

There are different Print on Demand sites, some of them are as follows:

  1. Zazzle
  2. Redbubble
  3. Teespring
  4. Printful

You can sign up on any one of these POD sites and upload your design. But to make sales you need to promote your tees.

You can either do paid advertisements or promote your T-shirts on your social media accounts.

I recommend you promote your T-shirts on Pinterest and Instagram.

3. Become an Influencer

Make money online as an influencer

One of the most lucrative ways to make money online in 2024 is to become an Influencer.

Influencer Marketing is one of the booming industries recently. Anyone having a good number of followers/audience on the social media platform can become an Influencer and make money online.

But first, let’s talk about how an Influencer makes money.

Basically, as an influencer, you will be promoting products and services to your followers. People follow you because they are interested in what you do or who you are. So, obviously, you have an impact on their lives. They are willing to listen to what you have to say.

You can earn a minimum of $200 to $1k for brand endorsement and the maximum amount will be based on the audience you have.

The sky is the limit!

In fact, I have made $500 for promoting a product on my Instagram page related to dogs. I had a whopping 140k+ followers on that Instagram page.

Unlike other paid ads, products promoted by an influencer will become more interesting and relatable to the people. So, the brand will get more conversions or sales from the endorsement done by the influencer.

Hence, the brands are always searching for influencers and willing to pay hefty fees to promote their products.

As an influencer, you can make money promoting brands & services. Nowadays, it’s easier to go viral if you have some talent. You can showcase your talents on social media like Facebook, Twitter, etc, or on video-sharing platforms like TikTok & YouTube and gain a following.

Then you can start pitching brands for an endorsement opportunity and make money promoting them.
