4. Create an e-Course

If you find that you’re knowledgeable about a subject, why not share that knowledge to earn extra cash? No matter what the subject is, whether it’s academic or even a talent such as writing, you can create your own course using that knowledge.

There are various platforms where you can create your own course and in some of these platforms, you don’t have to find students to participate in your course – the platform finds them for you.

I’ve found success by offering some overview and introductory courses for free, and then charging a fee for my more in-depth and valuable courses. As your customers find success from your free trainings, they’ll come to trust you and value your opinions, advice and knowledge, which will lead them to purchase some of your advanced courses.

7. Sell Your Photos Online

If you want to become a freelance photographer or taking photos has always been a passion of yours, you could sell your photos online for some extra cash.

Platforms such as Shutterstock and Adobe Stock are always accepting photos of your own and they’ll buy it from you at a specific price. The reason why platforms like these exists is that it’s where most blogs and websites get the photos that are used on their blog to attract more people.

Every time someone wants to use your photos for their website or marketing materials, you earn royalties. This also means that you can potentially earn passive income, since you can continue to earn money from your photos long after you’ve listed them.

If you have your own website or blog, you can also sell your photos there. This is more ideal as you get to set your own rules and prices, plus you keep all the earnings instead of splitting them with a 3rd party platform.

If you think you have photos that are worth selling, give selling stock photos a shot to add extra cash to your income.
