32 Easy Ways For Men To Make Money From Home
Here are the 32 of the top work at home jobs for men:
- Investing
- Watching YouTube
- Freelancing
- Napping
- Bookkeeping
- Rental Properties
- Drop Shipping
- Print on Demand
- Affiliate Marketing
1. Investing
Investing is a tried-and-true way for men to make money. This is a great option to supplement income and give men something to do in their free time. In addition, there’s something about investing that makes you feel good about yourself and your future.
There are many ways to invest, whether you’re a conservative investor or want to take some chances. The most popular ways include:
- Stock market investing
- Buying bonds
- Buying cryptocurrency
- Real estate directly (being a landlord)
- Investing in real estate indirectly (REITs or crowdfunding)
- Investing in commodities
It’s always best to diversify your portfolio, whether a beginner or experienced, and if you want something more hands-off, consider using a robo-advisor.
2. Watching YouTube
If this isn’t a dream come true for men trying to make money from home, I don’t know what is! You can get paid to watch YouTube.
To make this your reality, you must sign up with get-paid-to sites like InboxDollars or any platform that pays you to watch videos. First, complete your profile, so they know your interests and then take advantage of the videos they post that you can watch and earn money.
You won’t pay the mortgage doing this, so don’t think it’s your key to retiring early, but if you already spend your time watching commercials, trailers, and other playlists, why not get paid for doing it?
Most men love this option because you can do it lying in bed, on the couch, or while sitting in the parking lot waiting for soccer practice to end.
3. Freelancing
One of the easiest ways for men to make money from home is to offer freelance services in their work industry. For example, if you’re a teacher, consider tutoring online or if you’re a graphic designer, offer your services on the side to companies who need them.
You can advertise your freelancing services to your network or use sites like Fiverr or Upwork to advertise your services. These marketplaces bring buyers and sellers together, keeping a small portion of your earnings for their role.
The nice thing about freelancing is choosing the services you’ll offer and the prices you charge. You can work them consistently or only offer your services when you need extra money.
To make your journey the most successful, consider creating a portfolio of your work to show companies and individuals your capabilities so they want to hire you.
4. Napping
Market research companies and companies in the ‘sleep business’ often run studies to test different sleep theories, including the benefits of napping.
Recently, a company called Each Night, paid subjects to nap every day for 30 days. In exchange, they had to provide a report on their sleep and behaviors throughout the day, so you’re getting paid for more than just sleeping.
But, if you love sleeping, love naps, and have good grammar skills, you can make money doing what you love the most while helping a company with important studies that might help others.
5. Bookkeeping
Small businesses can use your skills if you’re a professional bookkeeper, have an accounting degree, or are great with numbers.
Bookkeepers make a decent living, even when working the gig part-time or as your own boss. You can set up gigs on Fiverr or Upwork, showcasing your skills and certification to prove you’re a good bookkeeper.
You can be a bookkeeper full-time or part-time, depending on whether you’re looking for a work-from-home full-time gig or just want to supplement your income. Starting a bookkeeping gig is a great way to keep up your skills and earn as much as $60 an hour.
6. Rental Properties
If investing in real estate feels like something you might enjoy, but being a full-time landlord isn’t up your alley, consider short-term rentals.
Airbnb is the most popular short-term rental site, but there are others too. The key is to own a house with an extra room to rent or a separate house you don’t live in and rent out to vacationers and business travelers.
Short-term rentals can be less stressful than long-term rentals because you’re only ‘on the clock’ when you have renters in the home. Then, choose when the property is available, how much it costs per night, and the amenities you’ll include.
Many investors make more money renting on Airbnb than long-term rentals because you can charge much more per stay, especially if you rent during high-demand times. Of course, you’ll pay Airbnb a portion of your rental income, so make sure you understand the fees and how they affect your profits.
7. Drop Shipping
Consider starting a dropshipping service if you’re great at marketing but don’t have room for inventory. As a drop shipper, you sell specific products but don’t carry the inventory. Instead, you work with a dropshipping company that carries the inventory and fulfills the orders.
Each time you make a sale, the dropshipping company packages the order and ships it to the customer. To be successful, you must be good at marketing, finding a target audience, and providing them with the products they want.
8. Print On Demand (POD)
Print on Demand is like drop shipping. You don’t keep an inventory of items. Instead, you market the products you sell online, and when you make a sale, the print-on-demand company makes the product and ships it to your customer.
With POD, you choose what you sell and even what designs you offer. You can sell things like shirts, hats, mugs, and rugs.
You can create a website to promote your products, tie them into your current brand and sell them, or even create a social media presence for your items.
Find your target audience and where they spend their time to decide how to best market your POD products. For example, your main job is marketing, while the POD company handles order fulfillment and shipping.
9. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing works best with content marketing, such as a blog, but you can also use it with video and social media content.
You choose which companies to partner with as an affiliate marketer to help with their marketing. It’s best to choose products that fit within your target audience’s likes. For example, if you write about cars, you’d want affiliates that fit within the car industry, whether parts, accessories or collectibles.
To make money as an affiliate marketer, you share unique links provided by affiliate marketing companies or brands. Then, when someone clicks on your link and buys something, you make a small commission.
10. Start an Online Business
If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, consider starting an online business.
The sky’s the limit when starting a business. Whether it’s a business with inventory or one with services like graphic design, you are your own boss; decide what you’ll offer, set the prices, and run the business how you want.
11. Podcasting
Consider podcasting if you don’t love writing but have a lot to share on a specific topic. This is an excellent way for men to make money from home who loves to talk!
You can talk about anything from sports to cars or anything in between. Before starting your podcast, check out how saturated the market is on the topic. If there are already a lot of podcasts covering the topic, find a way to take a different angle or niche that isn’t covered yet.
You can monetize your podcast by selling ad space or even being an influencer, making some of your podcast topics about a specific brand or product you like that your audience might like too.
12. Streaming or Gaming
If you love gaming, why not make money doing it? This easy work from home job is great for most guys, because who wouldn’t love to get paid to do something they love?
It sounds easy, but don’t be fooled; it takes a lot of work. Like with blogging or podcasting, you need a large audience before you can monetize your channel, and that’s the only way to make money. So for starters, you’ll play games just to build your audience, but it shouldn’t be too hard if you’re good at gaming.
When monetizing your channel on platforms like Twitch, you can offer ad space, accept tips, and even sell merchandise.
13. Online Course Creator
If you are extremely knowledgeable on a topic, consider creating an online course. You can monetize it by making it a paid course on sites like Teachable. If you already have an online presence, you can sell the course without paying Teachable or other online education sites a commission.
Like most other online content, do your research. See what your competitors offer and what their reviewers love and hate. Then, pick up on these things and create the perfect course that students wish they had based on the feedback they provided your competitors.
When you create an online course, decide how much involvement you want in marketing. For example, do you want a hands-on approach, marketing it on your website, or a hands-off approach, letting sites like Teachable do the marketing for you?
14. Writing and Blogging
If you’ve ever searched for ways to make money from home, blogging probably appears on many lists, and it’s also one of the most common stay at home jobs for men.
The sky’s the limit when writing or blogging. You can write or blog for others or yourself. If you freelance your writing services, you can get gigs writing for small and large companies, handling their website content and blogs. They may even give you free rein to handle their blog content regularly.
If you run your own blog, you create the topics, monetize the blogs with affiliate links, and regularly update them with new posts. Other ways to make money blogging include:
- Selling ads
- Digital products
- Physical product sales
15. Proofreading and Editing
You can start a proofreading or editing gig if you love writing and have impeccable grammar. Many companies pay freelancers to proofread or edit their written content, including blogs, articles, website content, and even books.
You can create a gig on sites like Fiverr or Upwork or create your own business, advertising it on social media sites and within your network.
If you have a degree in a related field, such as English or journalism, you’ll have a better chance of succeeding. Still, you can also get certified from an independent proofreading course to show your ability to proofread.
16. App Creation
Did you know you don’t have to be a developer to create an app? You can hire a programmer if you have the next best idea for an app but don’t know how to program it. This is a favorite way for men to make money from home because it allows you to be creative without needing too many skills.
The key is finding an app that doesn’t exist but your target audience could use. After you develop the idea and work with someone to create it, all that’s left is to market the app. It helps if you have a marketing background or someone who can help you get the word out.
You could even offer a free app or free trial and then monetize the app with premium or subscription features.
17. Tutoring or Online Teaching
If you have a teaching certificate or are an expert in a specific topic, you can make money by tutoring or online teaching.
Tutors are teachers who help students with the topic they teach, such as math or reading. Online teaching, though, can be done by anyone with a passion and knowledge of a specific industry. For example, if you spoke at a conference or gave a talk on a topic, you might be approached to teach a group on the topic.
18. Virtual Assistant
Virtual assistants are needed in almost every industry. However, small companies with few staff members can’t do everything, so they often outsource many tasks to a virtual assistant.
There isn’t a specific task you must be good at because virtual assistants handle all types of tasks, including graphic design, blog content, video content, scheduling, answering emails, and many more tasks.
Consider what you’re great at and offer your services remotely as a freelancer.
19. Review Apps and Websites
If you love finding problems with things, reviewing apps and websites can be a great way for men to make money from home.
Sites like User Testing pay $10 per review, and all you have to do is play around with the website or app and provide honest feedback. The goal is for you to disclose any problems or issues you see with the app or website so the company can fix them before publishing the content for the general public.
You must provide written or verbal feedback to tell the company what you think, but it only takes 20 – 30 minutes per item, so you can make $20 – $30 an hour reviewing websites and apps.
20. Reseller
Resellers sell products from manufacturers, much like retail stores, but you can do it from home. You’ll need a reseller’s license to purchase the items wholesale and without tax. Once you have the products, you market and sell them, earning a profit by selling them for a price higher than you paid.
Don’t worry; you don’t have to own a brick-and-mortar store to be a reseller. There are many ways men can sell products online, including:
- eBay
- Facebook Marketplace
- Social medial marketing
- Consignment shops
- Local small stores
It all comes down to your marketing and relationships with stores around you. Show the value in your products, and you’ll get into more stores and establishments to sell your products.
21. Woodworking or Funiture Refurbishing
If you love woodworking, you can make money doing what you love. For example, a big industry right now is furniture refurbishing. You can find old furniture products at thrift stores or even curbs on garbage day, fix them up and sell them for a profit.
Woodworkers make a great living advertising their services on social media. All it takes is a few people to love your work and to share it with their network for you to get noticed. Create a portfolio of your work, and consider sharing behind-the-scenes posts about a day in the life of a woodworker, and see what people like and share.
You can start with friends and family, but once they share your work, you’ll get orders from people around your area.
22. Surveying
A favorite way men make money from home is by answering market research surveys. Companies pay you for your opinion on their products or service,s so they know what to improve or change to appeal to a larger market.
You won’t get rich answering surveys, but it can be a fun way to pass the time and earn a little pocket change. Depending on what surveys you answer, including the time they take, you can make as much as $20 a survey.
The key is signing up for as many survey sites as possible. Try focusing on those that pay instantly or offer the most ROI for your time.
Popular survey sites include:
23. Influencer
Influencers are becoming even more popular than affiliate marketing today. If you love social media and have a large following, consider applying to be an influencer for your favorite brands.
As you put yourself out there and get noticed, brands may even approach you with opportunities to make money.
Influencers talk about products, usually in videos but sometimes written content. Your job is to share what you love about the product and try to sell it. Like affiliate marketing, you’ll share a link with your followers, and if they buy the product based on your recommendation, you’ll earn a commission.
Many influencers also receive free products in the mail. Brands do this to get you to share the ‘unboxing’ on your channel to create more excitement in their products with your audience.
24. Coaching and Consulting
You can get paid as a consultant if you’re an expert in your industry. You can help other small businesses with their need or help individuals get started in the same career.
Coaches and consultants get paid by the hour and can work via Zoom or phone. In addition, you can teach classes and offer consulting services as an add-on or strictly consult.
25. Sell Stock Photos
If photography is a hobby you love, turn it into a money-making gig. You don’t have to be a professional photographer taking family or wedding photos to get paid for your photography skills. You can take photos of anything you like to photograph and sell stock photos online.
Stock photo websites like iStock Photo allow you to upload your pictures and sell them to their audience. You pay a fee for each picture you sell but keep the difference. This can be a great way to monetize your hobby and perfect your skill.
Also, selling stock photos is a passive way to earn income since you make money for each photo you sell but can sell them multiple times.
26. Rent Your Own Items
There’s a huge market for rental items today, and many marketplaces make it possible. You can rent things like baby gear, strollers, parking spots, or even your car.
Even though larger companies offer these items for rent, many people like to help the ‘small guy’ and usually get better rental prices, especially when renting cars.
Here are a few places you can rent your items and make money. The nice thing about renting items is you decide when they’re available, what you’ll charge, and the lease terms.
- Car – Turo is a car rental marketplace that allows you to list your car for rent and make money. The average person on Turo renting one car regularly makes over $10,000 yearly, according to Turo.
- Parking spot – If you have unused parking spots, you can rent them and make money on sites like Neighbor. You list the space, its location, and price, and renters come to you to rent the spot. All administrative work and payments go through Neighbor. All you have to do is provide the spot.
- Baby gear – If you have a ton of baby gear you don’t use anymore, consider renting it on Babyquip. You can rent items such as cribs, strollers, and car seats and make money.
- Boats – If you own a boat but don’t use it daily, consider renting it out on Boatsetter to make some money. Like a car, you list the terms and rental period, collect the money and rent out your boat.
27. Unclaimed Funds
Every year millions of dollars of unclaimed funds sit idle. While there’s no guarantee you have unclaimed funds, it’s worth checking. First, check the states you lived in or did business in to see if you have any funds left behind.
Unclaimed funds happen for a variety of reasons, including:
- Tax refunds that never made it to the recipient due to a change in address
- Money left in a failed bank
- Items left in a safe deposit box that was never claimed after death
There’s no guarantee you have unclaimed funds, and there are plenty of scams surrounding unclaimed funds, so always do your research first. If someone contacts you about unclaimed funds, be weary and instead do your own research to determine the legitimacy.
28. Narrate Audiobooks
A great way for men to make money from home is to narrate audiobooks. If you’re always told what a great voice you have, you can turn it into a moneymaker.
Narrators read audiobooks or do voiceovers for videos. Companies want someone with a soothing and clear voice that can help people learn a topic, enjoy a book, or even make a sale. If your voice is one everyone loves to listen to, it could be your key to supplementing your income.
29. Pet Sitting
Pet sitting can be rewarding emotionally and financially. Spending time with pets, walking, feeding, or playing with them, can be fun.
You can sign up on sites like Rover to get matched with pet owners in your area or create your own flyers and tell your network about your services. You choose the prices you’ll charge and the services you offer, then get paid to spend time with furry friends.
30. Social Media Management
Social media is important for every business, but not every business owner has the time or ability to handle it.
If you love social media, know what types of posts work and don’t, and have the time to manage a company’s account, consider social media management.
This can be a great gig to do on the side or as a full-time gig. Think about how much free time you have and how much of it you want to spend on social media. You can specialize in specific social media sites, such as Instagram or Facebook, or even help a business with its Pinterest content.
31. Sell Personal Items
An area most men overlook when making money from home is selling personal items. Most people think about it when they have a garage sale, but you can sell personal items year-round online.
For example, you can sell designer clothing you have for sale on Poshmark, collectibles on eBay, and household items on Facebook Marketplace. The sky’s the limit when selling items you no longer need, especially if they are collectible or worth a lot of money.
32. Listen To Music
It sounds crazy, but you can make money by listening to music. Independent artists pay people to listen to their music and provide honest reviews. Like market research surveys, music reviews help artists see what people think about their music before they publish it.
You won’t make much money reviewing music on sites like SlicethePie, but if you are a music fanatic, why not make a little money doing what you love?
