Knowing a list of easy, legit ways to supplement your main income ensures that you don’t quit prepping someday due to insufficient funds. 

Prepping is not the same as survivalism. It requires you to spend on gear & trips. And you may have a worried spouse constantly reminding you of how you’re spending ‘unnecessarily’ on gear. 

They wouldn’t know until you play the savior when SHTF. 

This article apprises you of few but sure digital & offline ways to earn more money. Great thing is that they don’t require a degree, nor do you have to quit your main job for any.

Here we go.

Try Out Airbnb Hosting

 

If you have unoccupied space in your home, Airbnb is a great way to convert spare rooms to extra cash. You can always register on websites to find people willing to spend a night or two in your home.

If you’re not comfortable letting different strangers into your home night after night, you can opt for registration with a company as an experienced host. This involves you creating an event unique to your home or experience tour for which you’ll be paid to share what you know with others.

Mow Lawns

 

There are plenty of households that can’t mow their lawns themselves. They would rather pay a willing pair of hands like yours to handle the chore. 

With a weed whacker, a lawnmower & a truck for haulage, you can work wherever you live. Not everyone who lives in rural communities can even mow their lawns.

Remember to consider your expenses when fixing a price. You don’t want to be operating at a loss.

Offer The Services of a Virtual Assistant

 

With the proper knowledge, you’ll make a lot of money offering virtual services to businesses. Think about what you can digitally do that’ll earn you money. Some ideas to consider are email management, social media marketing, bookkeeping, blog management & customer service.

Ask questions on who may be needing the services you’re offering. If no one close to you knows someone who does, ask them to advertise your services. Social media is also a place to start.

However, if you’re not interested in the trouble that comes with finding your clients, you can register with platforms like Assistant Match or Belay.

Get a Driving Job

 

If you’re very good at driving, enjoy doing so & are confident enough to drive others, get a license & start doing so. You can start by signing up with Lyft or Uber. These companies typically offer signup bonuses that’ll increase your earning.

If you would rather not drive people, you can get jobs as a delivery man. 

Walk Dogs

 

These days, nearly every pet owner spends a lot on their pets. So, if animals interest you, you can walk for others. You can check with dog owners in your neighborhood for a start. 

If you can’t find clients, you can register with Rover or other similar companies.

And if you have sufficient space, the gig could establish a pet sitting service. People would drop off their pets with you on their way to work or out of town. 

You must be a dog person to start any of these, though.

Concluding the Ways to Supplement Your Main Income

 

Earning extra money is a great thing for your finances. Even if you aren’t in financial problems, it won’t hurt to make money doing something fun to you. Other ways to supplement your main income are starting a blog, selling photos, becoming a proofreader, teaching courses, or designing graphics.
