Fed up with these pop-ups that promise you to win 347 euros in an hour? Tired of these commercials that tell you ( so-called) how to get rich on the internet without special knowledge and from your home? You do not know how to make money without falling on a scam? Do you vomit every time you see the phrase "easy money" somewhere?
As I understand you.
Fortunately for you, I decided to search, evaluate and test really good ideas for making money.
With or without starting capital.
With or without prior knowledge.
With or without time (free) to devote to it.
But above all, without marketing speech, without blah to sell you the Porsche and without scams.
Launched in 2014, the site Silver ABC has become in 2015 the leader in the money theme - and that's normal: you are always more likely to want to earn extra money and there is only here you will find of ideas WALK. If they are scams, I'll tell you very clearly. If they will allow you to earn only 10 euros in one month by spending 1 hour per day, it will be clearly indicated.
There is something for everyone: for young people and pensioners, for those who live in the city and those who live in the countryside, for the unemployed and those who already have a job, for those who already have a little bit of money and those who do not have it ...
I've listed more than 100 ideas, and I've even explained more than 40 in detail here, but I have not had the time to study them all ... it's in progress, do not worry!
You will find them anyway in my newsletter. Feel free to subscribe to receive lots of exclusive tips that you will not see elsewhere, or even on this blog: it's just below:
Here is an overview of 57 methods that I selected for their ease of implementation or the importance of the potential gains you can claim.

20 way how to make money from internet
1. Read paid emails
Here too, it's pretty easy to guess what it's all about. You just have to ... read emails. As simple as that. Well, most of the time, as on Moolineo for example, these emails will lead to the visit of a website or an inscription to an offer, otherwise, you will not be paid.
There too, not enough to buy a Porsche, but a good ten euros per month and per site. Some people manage to earn enough to pay a restaurant and a movie every month, casually it's not bad.
Two important tips before you sign up: create a new email address just for that because you might get a lot of spam; and never forget to validate the registration emails after signing up for an offer or contest - otherwise, your winnings will never be validated.
Here are some sites, among those that I prefer:
Molino. It was created in early 2015 and is very popular. For my part, this site allowed me to earn 23 euros extras. Also earns money with paid offers, cashback, and product testing. Competitions are often organized to increase the chances of winning. And finally, the sponsorship is really advantageous.
LoopNet. The youngest created end of February 2016 by the Moolineo team. Offers even more targeted and rewarding offers than the latter.
To find out everything about paid e-mails, and find some great tips for maximizing your profits, check out this article. And if you want to read the tests of these sites, click on the article that interests you: Moolineo or Looney.
2. Respond to paid surveys
As the name suggests, this technique involves responding to online surveys or satisfaction surveys. You are then paid several euros by the brands that ordered the panel.
Obviously, if your real goal is how to get rich, sorry it will not happen by answering paid surveys, but it's an easy way to supplement your income. You can expect to receive ten euros per site and per month.
There are several paid survey sites:
Toluna. An attractive interface and funny polls. Payments can be made by transfer or gift certificates. Register here.
GreenPanthera which gives a welcome bonus of 4 € and offers really well-paid surveys. The only downside, its interface is a bit ugly. Register here.
My Opinion Count has allowed several readers to earn dozens of euros. Register here.
Clixsense is a paid clicks site, but its paid surveys section is well stocked and can earn you over 50 euros per month. Register
here.
and many others …
In my article where I explain the concept of the paid survey, I present other sites! Go read this article.
3. Use Cash Back Sites
Cashback simply means getting a refund for some of your online purchases. For this, you register on a cashback site, for example, iGraal (this affiliate link allows you to get a welcome gift of 10 euros ), and you install the shopping bar on your Internet browser. Then, when you make your purchase on Pixmania or Rue Du Commerce, you will automatically have a credit on your iGraal account. In general, the credit returned is between 3% and 40% of the amount of the purchase, but I have already seen cashbacks at 50%.
Click here to register now on Graal and in addition, receive 10 euros on your account, as a welcome gift!!.
In addition, to encourage you to buy, cashback sites often offer you coupon codes and discounts. For example, at the time of writing, there is a 10% discount code on all your Sony TV and Home Theater purchases. So you're a winner, right?
Note that Amazon.fr is no longer supported for several months (and that's a shame).
Here is a non-exhaustive list (there are more than 1400) of iGraal partners: Fnac, Hotels.com, Booking.com, Voyages SNCF, Bouygues Telecom, Zalando, Disneyland, Rue du Commerce...
To find out more, check out this article on cashback (you will find two videos that I have concocted especially to help you understand how to earn money through cash back ).
4. Sign up for paid offers
We can sometimes confuse them with paid email sites (mentioned above) but I decided to separate them.
Here it is a question of answering offers. For example, you must subscribe to a newsletter, or participate in a contest, or subscribe to a paid service (usually free the first days). And you are paid back! As for the ideas above, the sums are not stupendous but it's super simple.
I recommend several sites:
Ba-click. A site plebiscite by many Internet users as the best of its category. I myself quickly gained 107 euros by testing it. Not bad is not it? I give you all the details in this article.
Molino, which I mentioned above, which can be likened to a site of paid offers. According to NetBusinessRating, this site has already reported tens of thousands of euros to its users.
Looney, which I also mentioned above.
5. Publish on Kindle
Be careful, here we go to another category. If you like fiction or have a talent to share, why not write a novel or an electronic guide and publish it on Amazon's Kindle platform?
This method is not available to everyone, but it is bearing fruit. Some people have even done a juicy business.
Think about it: once your book is written, it's available on Amazon's website and anyone is likely to buy it. You just have to watch the euro scroll down. Well, ok, it's a bit exaggerated, you will need a very good book and a good promotion, but it's a very popular way to get rid of publishers and publish your own content.
Kindle books sell for between 1 and 10 euros.
6. Put yourself on Youtube
If you do not know who Norman and Cyprien are, you probably come from another planet. These two young men stood in front of their respective cameras and filmed themselves commenting on the idiocy of people or the news, in a tone obviously humorous or even cynical. And as Youtube is nice, they have been offered a partnership that allows them to win about 1 euro for 1000 views.
It is said that Norman has generated more than 500,000 euros just thanks to Youtube.
Incredible, no?
So if laughter is not your forte, do not worry. There are hundreds or even thousands of subjects that can be treated in video and report traffic: seduction, cooking, marketing advice, hidden cameras like those of Rémi Gaillard,...
I tell you everything in this special Youtube article.
7. Bet on the sport
Yes, it is possible to earn money thanks to Sports Betting. It's not easy but I have for example earned more than 500 euros in 8 months in 2014.
To win, you must either know a lot about the sport (for example by following my guide on Sports Betting) or follow a sports betting expert, like Benoit Tréanton, which I regularly talk about this blog.
For my part, I recommend you to bet on PMU.fr, which offers you a nice welcome gift of 100 euros (you receive 100 € if you deposit 100 €)
8. Make money playing poker (online or live)
As incredible as it may seem, like for sports betting, it is also possible to make a living through poker. This is not common but some do it with great success.
I talk about it here in more detail, with the interview of a friend amateur poker player.
9. Create an online store and sell in dropshipping
The dropshipping is the fashion of the last years with regard to the businesses online.
Traditionally, to sell physical goods, it was necessary to have the stock at home or in a warehouse, but the dropshipping takes a completely different approach.
You have absolutely no stock and it is the supplier who takes care of the delivery. You only act as an intermediary, thanks to the online store that you have mounted. You do not have to manage the delivery, the customer returns, and especially you do not have to buy a lot of stock (without knowing if you will manage to sell it) since this one is on the side of the supplier who will send the produced on demand.
Well, I did not say it was going to be easy. Setting up a successful online store takes a lot of time and is very complicated. Many have tried and failed. Fortunately, many people tell their stories on the Internet. So you can learn from their mistakes to avoid falling into the same pitfalls.
For example, in this article on my blog, you will have some tips on dropshipping.
10. Sell your documents online
Everything is sold on the Internet. Even your old history classes, dissertations or cover letters. Or your resume (it can be a good model for someone else). See letter templates to complain to your telephone company.
If there are platforms dedicated to this, it's because there are interested buyers. Here are two platforms in particular: Academon and Docs .school.
The operation is simple: you download your document on one of the platforms, describe it in a few well-chosen words and go! You will earn a few euros each time someone downloads or buys the document on the platform. It will not make you rich (far from it) but since you wanted ideas to make money, I could not talk to you about it.
11. Complete micro-tasks
With the uberisation of the economy, more and more companies are using external service providers to perform micro-tasks that they are not able to automate. Image recognition or handwriting, computerization of forms, search for information on the Internet ...
For these companies, it is the assurance of having a quality work done quickly since it is shared between hundreds or thousands of people in 4 corners of the globe. And for you, a way to make some extra money from home (even if we're honest, it's really not much).
The tasks are quite diverse but it is still a matter of inserting data (from a handwritten sheet for example), web search, or categorization of data. These are clearly not very intellectually rewarding tasks, you are warned.
In France, there are two sites for this: Crowd Factory (but does not accept new registrations, a victim of its success) and Clickworker. Crowd Factory announces possible earnings of € 15 per hour, but I have a hard time believing As for Clickworker, they offer an iPhone app, convenient to do some chores when you wait in line at the bakery.
12. Train people online
If tutoring is one of the most classic ways to get a little extra (see below), in recent years online training platforms have become known and have allowed people like you and me to share their knowledge and to make a lot of money.
Unlike private classes (which are, as their name suggests, classes taught to one person at a time, or at least 2 or 3 courses), online courses provide access to a large number of people. same time, at any time of day and night, and anywhere.
Once the training is published, the earnings are "automatic". Of course, it requires some videos (in front of the camera or not, you see) and it takes (a lot) of time. But the game is worth it if you think you really have something interesting to share.
Here are some examples of online training:
on Udemy: "Dare to trust yourself" (Personal Development), "Create an e-commerce that hits the mark", "Marketing and social networks: the complete guide", "To put an end to insomnia"
on Tuto.com: "Photographic Filters: how to choose them and use them in shooting", "The Art of Retouching Portrait - Workshop Black and White", "Complete Training WordPress", "Training Excel 2016".
So you can offer training on non-technical skills, help with health topics you know or share your mastery of certain software. The possibilities are almost endless😉
Then, some classic methods
Here, we will see together the so-called classical methods to make money. Either you've already thought about it yourself, or you've heard about it on other web pages that also tell you how to make money. No surprises, safe and proven values.
13. Give private lessons
Are you good at knitting? Do you have some talent for languages? Or do you love salsa? Or is it you who everyone calls to format the hard drive?
So why not give lessons? It's a fairly simple way to make money through a talent or a passion, and the demand is often quite important.
There are many sites that allow you to register and offer your services, the best known of them is the Super Prof site, where more than 250 topics are offered.
You can expect between 10 and 30 euros per hour depending on the course and level.
No, but Nico, I have nothing to teach ... We all have something to teach, to share with others, it can be a knowledge or an aptitude. Really. And there is bound to be someone not far away who needs to learn that. You do not believe me? Check out this long article where I explain how to give private lessons, I promise you will want to register after that (in addition, I made a short video to show you what Superprof).
Oh, if you've decided ... go here to register on Super Prof.
14. Keep the children of your neighbors (Baby-Sitting)
If you like children and have good contact with them, it can be a good way to make ends meet. Obviously, in general, it is more for girls but I am convinced that a grown-up will be able to showcase his experience. One of the main benefits of babysitting is that once children are sleeping, you can afford to do something else: watch TV, write an article for your blog, review for the next exam ...
There are dozens of websites to find parents looking for a babysitter. Here are some of them: www.famihero.com, http://www.maminou.com/, http://www.yoopala.com/.
In general, babysitters are paid between 7 and 10 euros net per hour.
15. Sell unused items/clothes
Open any cabinet, and I challenge you to find only clothes you've put in these last 6 months. And this attic that takes dust? Since the time it takes to clean.
Reselling clothes, devices or objects that are used more is a good way to add some coins in the piggy bank.
Everything can go:
- furniture
- Clothes and accessories
- Books and CDs
- Small appliance appliance
- Dishes
And sales opportunities are not lacking: flea market or garage sale in your village, solidarity market, PriceMinister, eBay ... And if you really cannot sell - or prefer to give - it does not fail either: the containers Relay, Emmaus, The Restos du Coeur...
You will find more information on this article which explains why and how to sell clothes.
16. Sell Tupperware at home (or something else)
Home selling has been made popular by " Tupperware meetings " and one might think this time is over.
And yet. There is a real business, very dynamic and growing. Even in 2017.
More and more people are getting in and supplementing their income by selling at home: often, it is to promote household products, cosmetics, lingerie or even sex toys. The advantage is that it's a pretty flexible job, we can organize meetings ourselves at times that suit us, and at home.
The products will be provided by a company: either you will have to buy them (but I do not recommend it), or you receive a percentage of each sale (which I recommend, since it saves you from having to buy stock without knowing if you will sell it).
Beware, however: in this business, there are many scams. Pyramid sales, starter kits that you have to pay a fortune, important incentive to recruit ... My advice? Only join companies that do not require you to buy products before trying to sell them. Otherwise, the risk of pyramid selling is far too high.
I discuss this in more detail in this article on home selling.
17. Test products at home
Contrary to popular belief, you can sometimes be paid to test products and receive samples at home. Even if most of the opportunities will allow you to receive free samples at home (which is already really good, let's face it), if you register on the right sites (like Test products ), you can also earn more Amazon or Carrefour gift certificates after testing a product.
I tell you everything in this article on my blog.
18. Attend consumer meetings
For once, consumer meetings will always pay you. Actually, we are talking about compensation rather than compensation: you are compensated for the trip made and the assistance provided during the meeting.
Here it is a question of going on the spot to panels of consumers where you will have the opportunity to compare different products and to give your opinion on each one of them. You may also want to give your opinion on an advertising campaign and say which ad you prefer. The possibilities are quite varied.
For example, recently my girlfriend tried different flavors of chips and was paid 10 euros for that. Ok, it was 9am but nothing like 10 euros for 1-hour test, we saw worse.
I recommend you to register on the site Meetings Consumers (where remunerations range from 20 euros to 230 euros, according to the study !!!) and to discover this article Radins.com who compared several sites of consumer meetings.
19. Become a mystery shopper and test services
That's it, we were bound to get there. If you've already looked for ways to make extra money, you've come across sites where you're invited to become a mystery shopper. The principle is simple: instead of "testing" products, you test services or stores. The attention you have received, the layout of the items in a shelving, the assistance provided, the solutions proposed to your problem and the relevance of the advice given. Everything counts.
The services or stores can be really varied: car dealership, bakery, supermarket ... It's up to you to play the mystery shopper and gather as much information as possible.
Here are some sites recently recommended by my readers: Qualisens, Qualimetrie, Bare International (in English) and BVA
Use your talents (or your muscles)
Your talents can bring you money. Whether it is your beautiful voice or your beautiful prose, everything is minted.
20. Write, translate, edit, sing, dance, draw
Several sites allow you to sell your services for 5 euros (or more). Think of the phrase "For 5 €, I will ..." and add what you could do for this amount.
Some ideas:
- For 5 €, I will write a 500-word article on the theme of your choice.
- For 5 €, I will edit a photo of your choice
- For 5 €, I will promote your product in English and in video
- For 5 €, I will write a song of 30 seconds and you sing it
You see, we can do anything and everything ...
For this, I recommend a platform in French, 5euros.com which is by far the most serious. I have also dedicated a complete article to this platform.
The basic service sells for 5 euros but it is easy to offer extras options and sell your services for 50 or 100 euros. As many individuals and businesses use this site, it may be an excellent choice to win a small ... or a bit extra.
Moreover, I highly recommend the training " Earn 1000 euros thanks to micro-services, in 2 hours a day, from home ". I tested it and it can really allow you to change your finances ... Even if you think to have no competence to promote on this kind of site, the article shows you that any type of service of 5euros can you allow you to make a nice income supplement.
