Side Hustles



This post is for the WVON faithful listeners or for anyone who is looking for flexible part-time work. If you want to make a few extra dollars to supplement your income, this post is for you. It is one of a kind because it isn't fitness related but I will be back to my fitness related material in my next post.

Making Money With On Demand Jobs

These jobs are very flexible, you work when you want and how much you want.

Make Money Filling Out Surveys

I wrote a post a year ago about making money to pay for your gym membership. I like making extra money with them even though it is not as much as the On Demand jobs. The great thing about this, it can be done in the comfort of your home. With some survey companies, you might receive products to review and you can redeem your points for cash or for ecards(electronic gift cards) like Amazon, Starbucks, Applebees, Williams and Sonoma, and etc. Check out my old post for the survey companies and apply today.

Participate In A Paid Medical Studies

I have signed for several but I usually get rejected for some reason or the other. If you live in Chicago, you might want to check out the Biofortis Clinical Research.

If I'm accepted I can make up to $1250 in 11 weeks. To learn more about the pros and cons in participating in medical research studies, read it here: Earn Extra Money with Clinical Research Trials

Make Money Online With Instagram and Blogging

Making Money With Instagram
You wouldn't believe it but there are people making money with their Instagram accounts. You need a lot of followers and your account has to have a theme, for example, my pictures are all fitness and health related and nothing more. Also, make sure your pictures are clear and professional looking and you don't need an expensive camera for that.

Making Money With Blogging
Let me state this first, blogging is hard work but it can be very rewarding. Depending upon if you have a product to sell, or if you have a huge following online(your tribe) that will buy your products or products from your affiliate links, you could make a decent living from that income.
