In today\u2019s post, we\u2019re going to cover realistic ways that you can make at least $200 a month, from the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s great about these methods is that you only need to put in a few hours a week to earn that $200.<\/p>\n
You can use some of these options to make $200 a week without ever leaving your home!<\/p>\n
This means that you can make an extra income while still working at your full-time job.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the best ways anyone can make $200 a month online and from home.<\/p>\n
There are so many blogs out there, focusing on a huge range of topics, from science to politics.<\/p>\n
How much you\u2019ll earn depends on the pay rate for the blog that you\u2019re contributing to.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say you get paid $50 apiece. You\u2019d only need to write four articles a month to make $200. If you got paid $100 apiece, then you\u2019d double your monthly income!<\/p>\n
For a big list of blogs and websites that pay you to write articles, read our \u201cget paid to write<\/a>\u201d and \u201cget paid to blog<\/a>\u201d posts.<\/p>\n this and this post.<\/p>\n Rewards websites pay you for doing easy tasks, like:<\/p>\n They won\u2019t make you rich, by any means, but join a few, combine your earnings, and you can make a couple hundred extra dollars each month.<\/p>\n While you might only earn $20 to $30 a month from a single rewards website, you can earn $100s if you combine them. So the key here is to join multiple reward websites.<\/p>\n For example:<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say that you join TreasureTrooper and make $50 a month.<\/p>\n You also sign up for Swagbucks and earn $115 a month.<\/p>\n Finally, you join Perk and make $35 a month.<\/p>\n Combine your earnings, and you\u2019d bring in an extra $200 a month \u2013 just from doing easy, fun tasks, like watching videos and playing games.<\/p>\n Are you a quick and accurate typist?<\/p>\n If so, you could earn money as a transcriptionist<\/a>.<\/p>\n Basically, you listen to the audio, and then type, or transcribe, what you hear. You deliver the transcript and get paid.<\/p>\n Here are a few places that offer transcriptionist work:<\/p>\n People on PayScale<\/a> report earning $7 to $25 an hour as a transcriptionist.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say that you earn $15 an hour.<\/p>\n You\u2019d only need to work around 14 hours a month, or 3.5 hours a week to make $200 a month.<\/p>\n Earn $20 an hour, and you\u2019d only need to work 10 hours a month to make the $200.<\/p>\n Taking surveys is another super easy way to make a couple hundred extra dollars each month.<\/p>\n Surveys can easily be done in your downtime, like when you\u2019re watching TV.<\/p>\n The key to making $100s from surveys is to join a few sites so that you increase the number of surveys that you\u2019ll qualify for.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you join the following websites \u2013 here\u2019s what you could earn:<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you take two surveys a week with Pinecone Research and earn $3 per survey. You make $6 a week and around $24 a month.<\/p>\n You do the same with QuickThoughts, and again earn $24 a month.<\/p>\n On MySurvey you take two $25 surveys a month, making $50 a month from the site.<\/p>\n You take a few $10 surveys at SurveySavvy each month, as well as a $2 survey each week, and earn around $40 a month from the site.<\/p>\n Finally, you take three surveys a month at Darwin\u2019s Data and make $75 a month.<\/p>\n Your total from all five websites would be $213 a month.<\/p>\n Pro tip:<\/strong> Almost every person who makes more than $100 a month from\u00a0surveys, uses multiple survey sites. Each survey site may only have a few available surveys per month so there is only a limited amount of money you can make with just one site. But if you join multiple sites, you will have enough surveys available to make a few hundred each month.<\/p>\n For a big list of survey sites, check out our list of legitimate survey companies that pay<\/a>.<\/p>\n Online, you can tutor students in a huge range of topics, from math to science.<\/p>\n For many tutoring jobs<\/a>, you\u2019ll need to have a degree and sometimes experience in teaching. So just make sure you have a good read of the requirements for a position before you apply to it.<\/p>\n There are plenty of places to find online tutoring jobs, such as:<\/p>\n How much you make depends on the company you work with. On Glassdoor<\/a>, people report earning from $11 to $25 an hour as an online tutor. So, if you earned $20 an hour, then you\u2019d only need to work 10 hours a month, or two hours a week as a tutor to earn an additional $200 a month.<\/p>\n Another way to make an extra $200 a month is to pick up some data entry work. You can easily find legitimate data entry work online<\/a>:<\/p>\n Data entry clerks input data in spreadsheets, documents, databases and other data management systems.<\/p>\n For many positions, you don\u2019t need qualifications or experience, which is great.<\/p>\n For some positions, you will though, so make sure you have a read of the requirements before applying to a job.<\/p>\n On Glassdoor<\/a>, people report that they earn anywhere from $11 to $18 plus an hour, as a data entry clerk.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you earn $15 an hour and work 4 hours per week. In total, you\u2019d make around $240 a month!<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s articles or product descriptions, there are so many companies, brands, website owners and individuals looking for written content.<\/p>\n And they\u2019re willing to pay you for it.<\/p>\n If you know how to structure a piece and have good grammar, then you can earn money writing content.<\/p>\n You could start with content websites. These are platforms that bring together writers with clients who need articles and other content written.<\/p>\n Here are a few to check out:<\/p>\n They\u2019re a good place to get started and to gain experience, but content websites don\u2019t pay that well.<\/p>\n So you may want to branch out into finding private clients on websites, like UpWork<\/a> and Freelancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to figures from PayScale.com, Freelance Writers can earn anywhere from $10 to $55 an hour, with the average hourly rate being $24.70.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you earn $20 an hour. You\u2019d only need to work 10 hours a month, around two a week, to earn $200 a month!<\/p>\n Writers aren\u2019t always paid hourly though \u2013 many are paid per word or per article. How much you earn per word or article can vary quite drastically too.<\/p>\n You could make as little as $5 per article, or as much as $500!<\/p>\n Consider teaching people English online<\/a>, as you can easily earn an extra income from it.<\/p>\n For most English language teaching jobs, you\u2019ll need to have a language teaching certification, like a TEFL certificate. You may also need to have a degree. Just make sure that you read all of the requirements for a position before you apply to it.<\/p>\n Here are a few places to find work teaching English online:<\/p>\n Job boards are also a good source of English teaching positions. Some are location-based, but you can find plenty of online positions too. Here are a few to check out:<\/p>\n People on PayScale.com<\/a> report that they earn from $12.35 to $39.26 an hour, teaching English as a second language (ESL).<\/p>\n ESL teachers on average earn $20.26 an hour. So if you earned $20 an hour and worked just two hours per week, then you\u2019d make $200 in a month!<\/p>\n Yes, you can get paid to watch videos online.<\/p>\n Sites like Swagbucks will actually pay you for watching videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n What kind of videos?<\/p>\n Anything from movie previews and celebrity videos to ads, latest news and more.<\/p>\n This is so easy even a kid can do it (although you have be at least 18 to join Swagbucks).<\/p>\n Ok, so you won\u2019t make more than a few bucks just by watching videos, but every little bit helps.<\/p>\n Combine watching videos with other ways of earning money on sites Swagbucks and you can easily make an extra $100 or two.<\/p>\n Another way to make $200 a month from home is to do some virtual assistant work.<\/p>\n Virtual assistants complete a range of tasks, such as:<\/p>\n Here are a few places where you can find virtual assistant work<\/a>:<\/p>\n On average, virtual assistants earn $15.61 an hour, according to figures from PayScale.com<\/a>. However, pay can vary from $10 to $29 an hour.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you earn $15 an hour and work just four hours a week, you\u2019d make $240 a month!<\/p>\n Are you good at spotting typos?<\/p>\n Do you know how to structure a sentence?<\/p>\n If so, then consider working as a freelance proofreader or editor online.<\/p>\n Proofreading involves finding and correcting typos, spelling errors and grammatical mistakes.<\/p>\n Editing can be more complex, and in addition to the steps involved in proofreading, can also include analyzing the structure of the piece and how it flows to make it more well-organized and easier to understand.<\/p>\n For some editing and proofreading positions, you may need a degree or experience in editing or proofreading in order to qualify.<\/p>\n There are plenty of places you can find freelance editing and proofreading work online:<\/p>\n According to figures from PayScale<\/a>, editors, on average, earn $24.83 an hour. Let\u2019s say you earned $25 an hour. You\u2019d only need to work 8 hours a month, or two hours a week, to earn $200 a month!<\/p>\n Companies want their customers to have the best experiences on their websites. Broken links, items that don\u2019t appear in the shopping cart once they\u2019ve been added, and pages that don\u2019t load properly are frustrating.<\/p>\n To ensure that they\u2019re providing a good experience to their customers, brands hire website testers.<\/p>\n As a website tester, you visit websites, like a regular customer would, and then provide feedback on your experience.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need to give feedback on things like whether the website was easy to navigate and if you came across any errors or broken links.<\/p>\n You basically get paid to help businesses to make websites better for customers.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s where you can find work as a website tester:<\/p>\n For more, check out this list of companies that pay you to test websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n How much you\u2019ll earn varies, depending on the companies that you work with and how many tests you take.<\/p>\n For example, UserBrain pays $3 per test, whereas Userlytics pays $5 to $20 per test.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s say that you earn $10 a test, and take 5 tests per week \u2013 you\u2019d make $200 a month!<\/p>\n If your car is often just sitting in the garage or driveway, then consider renting it out<\/a>. You can make quite a lot of cash doing this.<\/p>\n Here are a few companies that you can use to rent out your car:<\/p>\n How much you\u2019ll earn depends on the company you use to rent out your car, how often you rent out your car and what model your car is.<\/p>\n So if you rent out your car, you could earn anywhere from $500 to $800 a month!<\/p>\n If you want to make extra money passively, then consider selling stock photos online.

You don\u2019t necessarily need a fancy camera either. You can use an entry level DSLR or your phone\u2019s camera if it produces good quality photos.<\/p>\n You can also try to build up some traffic to your photos, so you sell more, but this isn\u2019t a necessity.<\/p>\n Read our Sell Stock Photos<\/a>\u00a0article and our 11 Sites That Pay You for Your Photos<\/a> article to learn more about making money selling photos and for more stock photo websites.<\/p>\n How much you\u2019ll earn depends on how many photos you sell, and how much you earn per photo.<\/p>\n How much money you make per photo depends on the website you\u2019re selling through.<\/p>\n These websites do take commission.
