8 of the Weirdest Ways to Make Extra Money
You might have heard of making money through survey taking, playing games, watching ads, and taking video polls but, you may not know about these 8 weird money makers to earn you extra cash.
Here they are…
1. Online studies
These are like surveys but, they require more time and they’re much more high paying.
The two companies I have experience with are:
I earned $100 from one and $125 from the other. They were both phone interviews and took about 30–35 minutes to complete.
You join their site as a participant for free then apply to join as many online studies as you’d like. Generally they pay between $20 to $400 each.
2. Rent your closet (or any spare space in your home)
This company called Neighbor works like AirBNB but for storage space.
They partner with hosts like yourself who have extra room in their attic, garage, a spare bedroom, closet space, etc.
And, you make money letting someone use your space as storage.
The person in need of storage space may need to store their boat or motorcycle, holiday decorations, extra clothes, etc.
This is a passive way to make some extra money on the side and it’s easy enough for anyone to do.
3. Review songs
Playlist Push pays $12 per song review to creators.
You can get paid instantly and the money is sent straight to your bank account on demand.
For music lovers that want to support the independent artist community, this could be a fun opportunity to make a little extra cash on the side.
4. Rent out your RV
If you own an RV, travel trailer, toy hauler, or other recreational vehicle, you could work with RVShare as a host and make money with short term RV rentals.
It’s like AirBNB but for RV’s.
Another form of passive income here.
5. Lose weight
If you’re on a weight loss journey, why not incentivize your effort even further with a weight loss bet.
Healthy Wage will pay you to lose weight if you meet your goal.
Some success stories show participants earning as much as $4,000 to $10,000 with Healthy Wage.
This does require a recurring investment during the time you’re on your weight loss journey.
For example, you might wager $20/week that you can lose 50 pounds in 5 months. So, you place your weight loss bet every week until 5 months and if you succeed, you’ll make money with Healthy Wage.
They have a weight loss calculator and other tools and resources you can check out to see how much you can win based on your wager.
6. Sell your used clothes
There are so many sites where you can do this.
Just snap a few photos of your apparel, post on the site and wait for a sale to happen!
Some of the sites aren’t just for clothes. They help you sell your home goods, electronics, and more.
7. Stake cryptocurrency
This is about buying cryptocurrency and holding it in a crypto savings account, so to speak.
It earns an obscene amount of interest and if you keep the money in the account, your earnings can potentially rise every month.
For example, if you invest $1,000, you could earn $120 per month in interest or if you invest $10,000 you could earn $1,200 per month in interest.
Ryan Pineda said in a podcast recently that he staked $100K in Pancake Bunny and earns $12,000/month in interest!
Sounds crazy, right?

This is risky so make sure you do your due diligence.
8. Invest in cryptocurrency
If you have money to invest, you could try your hand at putting it into crypto.
I tried this in 2021 with Safemoon and my $100 investment quickly ballooned to $1,400 in just three days.
These results are not typical and for me, unfortunately I held too long and that balance quickly dropped a week or so later.
Some friends turned their small investment into $30,000+ in that time!
This Shiba Inu investor turned $8,000 into $5.7 billion in just a year.
And, that’s what I’ve got for you!
