Rent out a room in your house!
A bit of spare time and a spare room. That’s all you need to get started earning extra income as a host on Airbnb. Whether you want to become an entrepreneur and work for yourself or you already have a full-time job and just hope to make some extra cash in your free time, you can find what you’re looking for on Airbnb. You get to choose when and how often you host. You can share a spare room in your apartment, host your whole home the next time you’re out of town, or create a listing for a vacation house if you have one.

Find Ways Not to Pay for Things
Oddly enough you can find a variety of ways to not pay for things you need or want. One of the ways is reviewing products. Sometimes for pay and product, but more often just for the product.
She Speaks is a great website to do product reviews for. You can register on their website. Then if you match up with one of their current product promotions they will send you a survey to see if you qualify and to see if you are interested in reviewing it. If selected you receive the product in a few weeks. After trying it you have to fill out a survey or write a review. Sometimes both.
The most recent review I did was for a credit card. I did not have to apply or have the card already. All I had to do was review the card on the website and then give feedback. The reward was a 1-year magazine subscription. I have only gotten picked for a few reviews, but still, it’s free stuff when I do.
BuzzAgent is another company that will send you products in exchange for a review.
