The vast majority of people simply dive in headfirst without any prior knowledge or preparation. It's a good idea to know how to make money from home or while working when it's convenient for you.

Consider how much freedom and flexibility you'd have if you had a regular internet income. What if you put some effort into it?

#1.  Get paid $35/hour to drive people around

With Lyft and Uber, you can make exactly that much. Users can request a drive in all major US cities by just logging in with their phone number.

A conventional cab ride will cost at least twice as much as using this service. If you're a driver, you'll receive an alert and be able to accept a ride request. You have control over your working hours and income.

To make money with them, you'll need a car and some cash upfront to cover the cost of gas.

#2. Get paid for being someone’s friend

Rent a Friend is a legitimate US service where people offer their friendship (and nothing else!) for as little as $10 per hour and as much as $50 an hour.

If you want someone to go to a movie or restaurant with, go out to a movie with, or just show you around a new place, this service can help.

In the words of existing users, you can get invited to be someone's "+1" for free to a VIP event or wine tasting tour, or concert!

This is a great career for people who are laid-back and want to communicate. Some users say they do it full-time and make over $50,000 a year! To become a friend, you'll need to provide a personality description form to the community manager.

#3. Test websites for money

You can earn money by providing input on the usability of other people's websites for large corporations.

You can expect to make anywhere from 10 cents for a task that takes less than a minute to $10-$15 for lengthier questions that require more of your time.

#4. Become a mystery shopper

Look around, make notes, and snap sneaky photos of things that aren't being used, then fill out a questionnaire to earn your money.

For mystery shopping jobs, you can either use the Mobee app (where the payments are usually modest, and the work you need to complete is also straightforward) or sign up for Marketforce, an established website where you'll need to properly fill out an application form and pass a review process. The earnings potential is significantly greater.

#5. Do data entry jobs

Data categorization, translation, simple copy-pasting, and small text editing are all examples of this. If you put in a few hours a day, you may make $100 a month working only a few hours a day.

Obviously, your speed/skill determines how much money you'll make. Join ClickWorker if you don't mind doing some menial jobs in exchange for little amounts of money.

#6. Do odd jobs at Fiverr

Fiverr allows you to offer a wide range of services for as little as $5. Create an account, look through the available gigs, and make an offer that is similar.

Seriously, on this internet market, you can sell and purchase anything from voiceovers to logo design to "I'll pretend to be your girlfriend on Facebook for 2 days."

Write a compelling gig description that explains what you'll do for $5, for example, translating 200 words from French to English; adding extras, for example, translating 300 words more for $5; delivering the order in one day; and adding a payment method, for example, PayPal or Payoneer. Then, start promoting your gig and making money.

#7.  Sell your notes

It's possible to earn money by selling your notes on NoteSale to other students who aren't as diligent about taking notes.

It's free to make a listing, but a percentage of your sales will be taken by the site.

Typed notes in PDF/Text format are the most popular, but if your handwriting is especially legible, you might want to consider selling scanned copies of your handwritten notes as well.

#8. Sell old books the smart way

Try the BooksCounter app instead of merely taking them to a thrift store and getting pennies on the dollar.

Scan the barcode on the book, upload it to the app's system, and check which of the more than 20 different buyback companies gives the best payout.

A free shipping label may be downloaded and books can be packed up and sent off as soon as you find the correct company and fill out some basic information about how you'd want to be paid.

#9. Earn by tweeting

If you have a significant following on Twitter, you can earn anywhere from $0.5 to $20 per sponsored tweet or piece of content that you share with your followers.

How much you pay is determined by a variety of factors, including how many followers you have and how long your account has been active.

SponsoredTweets, PaidPerTweet, and a variety of other services let you make money on Twitter.

#10. Sell out your old CDs, movies, and games

Even more surprisingly, some businesses will pay you cash for your old CDs. You can expect to receive anywhere from a few cents up to over ten dollars from Music Magpie for all of your previous employees. A great approach to finally get rid of clutter in your home, too!

Finally, you can pick any of these ideas, implement them and start making money.
