Money is everything in today's economy. For most of us, it's the only way to live a decent life. Even though you know that money can't buy happiness, it seems like everyone wants more of it anyway.

There have been people who used their looks, charm and chivalry to acquire enough money by getting married to some of the richest people in the world.

In this post, I will tell you some unpopular ways of making money that most people aren't aware of, but are extremely effective.

So, let's get started.

1) Getting Paid For Your Opinions

This is one of my favourite ways to make money online because it is the easiest. It's also something you can do with your friends or family members to make some quick cash. You'll be surprised by how many market research companies are willing to pay you for your opinion!

All you have to do is sign up on Opinion Outpost or Survey Savvy and take paid surveys on the Internet. You get paid anywhere between $1-$10 per completed survey.

2) Get Paid To Watch Videos Online

This is similar to getting paid for answering questions online. All you have to do is sign up for Swagbucks or Cash Crate , watch videos, play games or shop online to earn money.

3) Make Money Online As A Mystery Shopper

Mystery shopping is one of the easiest ways to make money online because all you have to do is go out and spend some cash. You get paid by providing detailed reports about your experiences in different shops, restaurants, hotels and so on.

All you have to do is sign up with an agency like Bestmark.

4) Get Paid For Doing Simple Tasks Online

If you're looking for some extra cash without making much effort at all, here's something that might be perfect for you. All you need to do is sign up with Amazon Mechanical Turk! You'll be surprised by how many simple tasks there are that require human intelligence instead of machines. You can start earning money right away!

5) Get Paid To Watch Videos From Market Research Companies

I've already told you about getting paid for watching videos but this one costs more (usually). Usually, companies like Ciao Bambino and Mindfield Online pay you to watch videos from market research companies.

All you have to do is sign up on those websites and watch as many videos as you can. The longer the video, the more money you'll get paid.

6) Get Paid To Shop Online

This one is really easy. All you need to do is sign up with Cashback Monitor , click through their website before shopping online, then go back and buy your product. You will be surprised by how much extra cash you will receive! It's like free money (literally).

7) Get Paid To Draw And Paint Your Favourite Characters

You might think there's no way in hell someone would pay for this but I assure you they do! Try searching for "draw my favourite character" on Craigslist or Fiverr .

This is actually one of the easiest ways to make money online. Just search for "draw my favourite character" and you'll see what I mean.

8) Get Paid To Be A Writer On Fiverr

This is one of the most common ways to make money online at the moment. Just search for "write my essay" or "write my book" on Fiverr. If you're not familiar with Fiverr, it's one of the biggest freelance platforms where you can sell almost anything!

9) Make Money Uploading Videos To YouTube

This is one of the most popular ways to make money online at the moment. It does take some time to get paid (you need 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours to start making money on YouTube) but it's worth it!

All you have to do is sign up with YouTube Partner Program, start uploading videos, wait until you get 4000 watch hours and then start making money!

10) Make Money With Your Voice

This is one of my favourites because it's so easy to do. You can make money by just reading poems or stories online. All you have to do this sign up with ACX which is a website where you can sell audiobooks.

11) Get Paid To Download Free Mobile Apps

This is probably one of the easiest ways to make money online. All you have to do is download some apps, wait until you get $20 worth of reward points and then redeem those points for cash! It's so easy! Just sign up with Ibotta and you're all set to start making money!

12) Get Paid To Do Virtual Assistant Jobs

I've been doing virtual assistant jobs for years and I can tell you, they are incredibly easy. You just have to be smart and resourceful. It's also a great way to learn how companies work on the inside (and get paid for it too). Try signing up with Upwork or Freelancer , then apply for virtual assistant jobs in your area of expertise.
