Listen – we all know the internet is full of work-from-home scams, so we’ve scoured through thousands of different ideas to find you 32 unique ways to make money from home. I guarantee there are some in here that you’ve never heard of…

These are all ideas that we’ve done before, so we know that they’re real and that you’ll get paid.

Here are 32 legitimate ways to make money from home.

1. Get $5 From Stash to Start Saving
   Macro of Five American Dollar Bill.

It’s no brilliant secret that investing can be a smart way to make money.

Sometimes, though, it feels restricted to a few wealthy elite.

But Stash is different. This app lets you start investing with as little as $5 and for just a $1 monthly fee for balances under $5,000. (The first month is free.)

Stash curates investments from professional fund managers and investors and lets you choose where to put your money.

But it leaves the complicated investment terms out of it. You just choose from a set of simple portfolios reflecting your beliefs, interests and goals.

Bonus: Right now, The Penny Hoarder is teaming up with Stash to fund your first investment — so you’ll get an extra $5 bonus to get started.

1. Stop Deleting Your Emails
   
   It turns out that deleting your emails could be costing you serious money. Intrigued?

My new secret weapon is called Paribus — a tool that gets you money back for your online purchases. It’s free to sign up. Once you do, it will scan your email archives for any receipts. If it discovers you’ve purchased something from Target or one of the other retailers listed on its website, it will track the item’s price. Once a price drop is detected, Paribus engages with the retailer on your behalf, requesting a refund – automatically!

You don’t have to do anything!

If something shows up late, Paribus will help you get money back for what you paid for shipping — up to a full shipping refund.

Survey Junkie’s clean look and “cashout wheel” keep you motivated to take as many surveys as you want. They’re relatively quick to complete and reward you with points. Once you earn 1,000 points — or $10 — you can cash out.

Some surveys offers up to 300 points. My dashboard was always full of surveys to take — and I cashed out with a $10 Amazon gift card within a month of signing up. You can also have cash deposited to your Paypal account, but I chose to support my Amazon addiction instead.

1. Earn Up to $60/Hour as a Part-Time Bookkeeper
   
   Does earning $60 an hour sound appealing? How about the freedom to work from home while helping others succeed?

Those are the perks of working as a bookkeeper, says Ben Robinson, a certified public accountant and business owner who teaches others to become virtual bookkeepers.

And no, you don’t have to have a CPA to be successful in this business. In fact, all you really need are decent computer skills and a passion for helping business owners tackle real-world problems.

It’s a great opportunity for moms who want to work part time, millennials who are just out of college and anyone who wants to bring in real money while working from home.

We talked to Robinson about what it takes to become a virtual bookkeeper, as well as tips and advice for making this career track work for you.

1. Get Paid to Grocery Shop
   
   Here’s another gig with flexible hours: Shopping for Shipt.

Shipt says its grocery shoppers, who sign up as independent contractors, regularly earn $15 to $25 an hour, including tips.

Here’s how it works: Customers order groceries on the app, and a Shipt Shopper collects and delivers the items.

“Not only do Shipt Shoppers make their own schedules, the schedules are extremely flexible,” according to the Shipt website.

To be a Shipt Shopper, you’ll need to meet these requirements:

Be at least 18 years old.
Have a reliable vehicle that’s less than 15 years old.
Have an iPhone (iOS 8 or newer) or Android (4.4.2 or newer).
Have a valid U.S. driver’s license and auto insurance with at least a year of driving experience.
Pass a background check.
Own an insulated cooler bag.
Have knowledge of the produce section (i.e. know the difference between an orange and a grapefruit).
Be able to lift at least 25 pounds.
Can resist smoking on the job.
Target recently acquired the grocery-delivery service and announced plans to offer its service at roughly half of its 1,800 locations across the U.S. in 2018. If Shipt isn’t in your area just yet, chances are it will be soon.

1. Invest in Real Estate (You Don’t Have to Be Rich)
   
   Want to try real-estate investing without playing landlord? We found a company that helps you do just that.

Oh, and you don’t have to have hundreds of thousands of dollars, either. You can get started with a minimum investment of just $500. A company called Fundrise does all the heavy lifting for you.

Through the Fundrise Starter Portfolio, your money will be split into two portfolios that support private real estate around the United States.

This isn’t an obscure investment, though. You can see exactly which properties are included in your portfolios — like a set of townhomes in Snoqualmie, Washington, or an apartment building in Charlotte, North Carolina.

You can earn money through quarterly dividend payments and potential appreciation in the value of your shares, just like a stock. Cash flow typically comes from interest payments and property income (e.g. rent).

(But remember: Investments come with risk. While Fundrise has paid distributions every quarter since at least Q2 2016, dividend and principal payments are never guaranteed.)

You’ll pay a 0.85% annual asset management fee and a 0.15% annual investment advisory fee.

7 Drive Folks Around Town

Need a fun, flexible way to earn money while also meeting lots of new people?

Try driving with Lyft!

Demand for ride-sharing has been growing like crazy, and it shows no signs of slowing down. To be eligible, you’ll need to be at least 21 years old with a year of driving experience, pass a background check and own a car made in 2007 or later.

We talked to Paul Pruce, who’s been driving full-time with Lyft for over a year. He earns $750 a week as a driver.

Best of all, he does it on his own time. You can work days, nights or weekends — it’s up to you!

Because it’s simple to switch between apps, many Lyft drivers also sign up as a driver partner with Uber.

As a driver partner with Uber, you are an independent contractor. You create your own schedule and work as much or as little as you want.

In December, 40 hours of driving per week earned driver partners an average of $568.39.* Your earnings will be calculated by adding a base fare, plus time and distance traveled after your pickup, and Uber charges a service fee.

If you want to give it a try, here are a few of the things to keep in mind: You must be at least 21 years old, have at least one year of licensed driving experience in the U.S. (three years if you are under 23 years old), have a valid US driver’s license and pass a background check.

Also, your car must be a four-door, seat at least four passengers (excluding the driver), be registered in-state and be covered by in-state insurance.

Here’s a link to sign up to use the Uber app.

• This opportunity with Uber is to be a driver-partner. As a driver partner, you are an independent contractor. Stated trip earnings of $568.39 per week are based on 40 hours of driving per week using the net median national earnings of driver partners from December 2017. Median earnings in your specific location may be lower than the national figure. Actual earnings vary depending on number of rides accepted and taken, time of day, location and other factors.
