How to make money in a classic way? 

Some classic methods that you already knew, but sometimes we forget the most obvious.

Taking care of children, a good trick to get money
Oh that monkey! Don’t you want to be a babysitter?
In this section, let’s see how to make money with the methods called Classics. You may already know them or have found them on other websites that also explain how to make money. No surprises, safe and often proven income.

10. Share your knowledge or talent

Do you like to do crafts? Are you good at languages? Or maybe yours is salsa dancing? Or maybe, is it you who everyone calls when you have computer problems?

So why not take a course? It is a fairly simple way to earn money through knowledge, hobby or passion, and demand is quite high.

There are several web pages that allow you to register and propose your knowledge. The best known among them is Superprof, where you can choose from more than 450 subjects to tutor and there are 20000 registered students. It is available in Spain, Mexico and the United States.

You can earn between 10 and 30 euros an hour, depending on the course and the level.

Now you’ll be thinking… No, but I can’t teach anything… You have to know that we all have something to teach, to share with others, and that can be a knowledge or an aptitude. Yes, really. And there’s probably someone not far from where you are who needs to learn it, don’t you believe me? You can take a look at the website of Superprof and see that there are several profiles.

I have prepared an article where I speak in more detail about making money by giving private lessons. You should read it

And if you don’t reside in Spain, don’t worry. There are other solutions, such as word of mouth, bulletin board, or websites as a free market. There is also the website of your private lessons, available in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Spain, Peru, Mexico.

11. Take care of your neighbors ‘ children

If you like children and know how to deal with them, this can be a good way to earn a few extra euros a month. Although, it is generally aimed more at young girls, I am sure that an adult could enforce their experience.

One of the main advantages of the babysitter is that once the children sleep, you can afford to do something else: watch TV, write an article for your blog, study for your next exam.

There are many websites to find parents looking for a babysitter. In Spain you can use the following pages: Babysitter Spain and kangaroo at home. In Mexico, the web Nidmi seems reliable and quite popular. No matter the country, any classified Ads website can help you publish your services.

In general, nannies earn between 7 and 10 euros per hour.

12. Sell items or clothing that you do not use

Open up any closet in your house, and I bet what most of what you’re going to find is things you haven’t used in the last six months. Don’t you think it’s time to clean up and get rid of what you don’t use and it’s just there piling up dust?

Selling your clothes, those gadgets or items you no longer use, is a good way to get a few extra euros.

It can be anything:

• Furniture
• Clothing and Accessories
• Books and CDs
• Small Appliances
• Tableware
• Toys that your children no longer use

You have several options where you can sell them: flea market or rakes in your city, solidarity markets; You can also sell on different websites without moving from your home:

• For Spain: EBay, Vibbo, Wallapop, Kompartir (Here you can barter).
• For Mexico: Second hand
• For Chile: Yapo
• For Dominican Republic: Cobroken
• For all Latin America: Free market (available in all Latin American countries)

Know many other pages to sell things online, available in Spain and Latin America.

For me, is one of the best ways to earn extra money, because you can go right now your house, look for these things you no longer use, take one or two photos, upload them to any of these websites that I just commented… and come on, in 30 minutes , it’s for sale. And maybe in 2 hours you get your first sale.

And if you really do not get to sell, or prefer to donate, you can also do in: Nolotiro.

13. Participates in market research

If you like to try the new products that come to market, if you think you have a good nose and a good palate and above all you want the manufacturers to consider your opinion, you will like this.

Have you heard about consumer panels?

Basically, they are centers that are in charge of collecting information of the consumers (tastes, preferences of consumption, perception of the brand, etc.) on a product (food, beverages, cosmetics, etc.).

The operation is simple, you create your profile with information of your tastes and your preferences of purchases (the more detailed the information, the more possibilities you have to participate in studies). According to your profile, you will be sending invitations to studies or tastings of different products before they go to market.

It’s about having your opinion on taste or presentation (depends on the product) and in return you will receive cash or points that you can redeem for gift checks.

Some studies are done in the centers and others at home, you receive the samples and you have to fill out some questionnaires and/or actively participate in the advertising campaign of the product.

Here I leave some websites where you can sign up are: Consumolab or Panelsilliker. These websites only accept people in Spain.

And if you want to know more, I’ve written two detailed articles, one is about consumer panels and another about testing free products from home.

14. Have a job

Seriously? You’re serious?… what original! … that’s what you’re thinking, isn’t it?

Obviously, having a job is still the most effective way to make money. If you think that reading paid emails or doing surveys can give you the equivalent of a minimum wage, you’re wrong. Only a few get it.

That is why I recommend first of all to have a job. I know some of you may be unemployed and you have no more than this, while others probably do not have the legal age to have a job. But to be salaried gives a certain financial security that cannot be despised.
