Whether you’re a working mother, a stay-at-home dad, a college student, or simply want to supplement your income, doing some extra work from home can help.

Many work-at-home scams can be found with a basic online search. They entice you to work with them by charging you advance fees. However, they are simply defrauding you of your hard-earned money.

I know you’re looking for some authentic work-at-home opportunities that aren’t rip-offs. So, in this article, I’ve compiled a list of the 7 most reputable methods to earn money from home.

Some will only earn you a few dollars each month, while others, depending on the amount of time you have to invest in them, can become significant moneymakers.

#1. Become a notary loan signing agent

This industry does not get enough attention and deserves to be heard. I spoke with a retired gentleman who earns $4-$6k each month working only 3–4 days per week!

What is the role of a loan signing agent?

Mortgage businesses, escrow companies, title companies, and signing services engage loan signing agents to identify loan papers and acquire required signatures.

What’s the best way to get started?

Here’s a checklist, and how you can do it too!

#2. Selling on Amazon (FBA program)

If you enjoy shopping and looking for a good deal, Amazon’s FBA program is a great option.

You buy things at a discount in stores or online and then resale them on Amazon for a greater price.

What makes Amazon’s FBA program so appealing is that THEY ship your products and manage customer service for you!

How much money can I expect to make? This varies greatly and is dependent on how much effort you are willing to put in; Some individuals who put more effort in doing this made more than six figures in their first year.

#3. Become a Social Media Manager

Are you active on social media and interested in posting on behalf of other companies? It’s critical to be familiar with the many Social Media platforms, and you’ll need excellent organizing and communication skills.

How much money can I expect to make? You might make anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 per month depending on how many clients you have.

#4. Rent Your Car for Advertising Space

This is for the true no-nonsense hustler. Wrapify will wrap your car for you and pay you $264-$452 a month with no upfront costs.

You’ll need to download the app, drive with it, get matched with campaigns, and then bring your car in to be wrapped so you can make money driving areas you already frequent. If you don’t mind having your vehicle wrapped, this is a great way to earn some extra cash.

#5. Become a Bookkeeper

Working as a bookkeeper is an undervalued way to earn money from home. Not only does it have a high pay potential, but many bookkeeping positions do not require any prior expertise.

This is an option that you might pursue as an employee or as a business owner. If you have no prior expertise with bookkeeping, you might be able to find an entry-level remote bookkeeping job that will train you. If you have some experience, starting your own business may be the superior alternative, as it will almost certainly provide you with a higher salary.

#6. Earn money by playing on Pinterest.

Did you realize that playing on Pinterest might earn you money? It’s no surprise that Pinterest virtual assistants are in high demand, with over a million blogs and online businesses. This can be a lucrative method to work from home.

You’ll create pins to promote on your client’s Pinterest account to assist increase traffic to their website or sales page as a Pinterest Virtual Assistant. If you already enjoy using Pinterest, this could be a great way to earn some additional cash.

#7. Become an Online Juror

Do you enjoy watching courtroom trials on television? You might be able to transform your passion into a money-making opportunity.

There’s a website called eJury that will pay you a little fee to serve on a jury in advance of a trial. These allow attorneys to predict how a jury will react to the facts of a case ahead of time and make revisions in preparation for the actual trial.

According to the website, depending on the length of the trial review, you will be paid $5 to $10. (usually about 35 minutes). That’s not a lot of money, but if you can work a few cases a week, it might be enough to cover your car payment — who knows?

Are there any jobs that you think would be a good fit for you?
