Having a pool at home is probably the coolest thing to own. But you also have to maintain it. A swimming pool should ideally be cleaned every week to prevent the water get contaminated with germs and bacteria.

Use your property smartly to make money.

Sell Photographs

Photography is no longer an expensive hobby. If you are good at it, have the eye to capture great detail. Photography can give you a sustainable life.

Apart from the photoshoots, event shoots, you can sell your photographs online through websites like Shutterstock, 500px, Fotolia, Getty Images.

You can also use Instagram as your photography portfolio where you can upload your high-quality images and promote your work.

If you have a niche that will make you an expertise on that field and will give you the credit to ask for more money.

For example, if you have an extensive drone photography knowledge, clients who are fascinated with drome shots will hire you and pay you more.

More than the photo selling websites, it is Instagram where I think you should devote more time to promote your work. Using the right hashtags, it will give the maximum exposure to your account and there are brands who look for collaborations.

Thus, if you get one client, you could make $100 a day easily.

Website flipping

If you want to turn your website into a business, the quickest way to earn a lump-sum amount is by flipping websites. You work on establishing a website, post quality content on your niche blog, give it a clean look and keep the website running for at least two years.

With the money you get, you can reinvest in growing your business, getting more resources, purchasing more tools to make your job easier and less time-consuming. Invest your money in increasing the productivity.

Become a babysitter & earn $100 a day

Babysitting could be a great side hustle where you can make money fast. If you are above 18 years-old and you like kids, babysitting could be your new side hustle.

It’s a kind of job where you get paid about $25 -$30 per hour to look after other’s kids when their parents are not at home.

Be responsible enough to be able to take care of the kid. Just be at home, play with them, engage them in activities and earn money each time you babysit.

Tutoring

Tutoring can give you good money in cash. You can provide tuition to student on subjects in which you are good at.

For example, I used to tutor high school student on English language and literature when I was in college. It was a great part-time job to earn some extra cash.

Because I had this, I never had to ask for money from my parents. I could pretty much managed my finances with the tutoring job.

Now, you can provide both offline and online tutoring. Not only subjects, if you are fluent in any second language, you can teach your student and get paid hourly.

How much to charge for tutoring?

It depends on what are you teaching, which class, and for how many hours. Rates can vary. Yet, on an average, you should charge $20 an hour and it could go higher if you are giving one to one private classes.

Airbnb hosting

Want to make more than $100 a day?

If you have a property near a tourist location, Airbnb hosting will be profitable for you. You can start by listing your place to Airbnb.

Arrange your property like to do all the cleaning, installing a keyless lock, creating enough space for the guest, stocking with clean sheets, towels and toilet papers. Secure the property with camera, lock and set alarm. Keep checking procedures easy for the guest.

Make your property affordable in the market. Airbnb cuts a percentage upon each booking. But it lets you enjoy with the rest of the income.

In India, people prefer to stay in Airbnb in places like Goa, Kerala, and the northern Himalayas to get a vibe of the local.  

Airbnb is very popular in the European tourist spots.

Delivering food & groceries

If you have the time, you can make them productive enough to make some money by delivering food & groceries.

Food delivery apps like DoorDash let you connect with customers who want their delivery of food to their doorstep. You can collect their order, deliver and earn money instead. You can make $25-$30 on every delivery depending on the distance.

There are no strict rule of working every day. You can work on your terms.

There are UberEATS that pay you instantly after you complete a food delivery.

For grocery delivery, I feel Instacart is great. If shopping is something that you love to do, you can turn this into a money-making opportunity.

Pretend yourself a shopper. You pick those items that your customer wants and deliver them to their place. The money will get transferred to you once you finish the delivery. The only drawback I find with this app is it is only available in the USA.

Packers & Movers

You can start a small business of packers and movers where you will help people moving out their furniture and stuffs from one place to another.

You might not get customers every day in this kind of business. But if you promote your services in your neibourhood places and let them know how you can help them. Once you start getting customers, making $100 a day will be easier.

For example, to minimalize your cost, you can only provide services within the city. When someone is moving from one part of the city to another, you can provide them with your services of complete packing and moving of every household item.  

It is a quite profitable business in big cities, but competitive as well.

Invest in small businesses

If you want to make $100 a day and $3000 a month, you have to invest and reinvest your money.

Pick up small and emerging businesses, study them well, and after a proper in and out analysis of all the possibilities and probabilities, invest your money.

For example, you have an acquaintance who is running a small app, making a start-up, invest some time and become a partner. The profit each month the company will make you will get a share from it.

Likewise, the profit share you get from investing in one reinvests it into another. Suppose you know there is a demand of English-speaking professionals in your area because people living there are non-English speaker.

If you could hire an English speaker and open a coaching institute, the chances are high people will join to learn the language. If you could hold their interest and fulfil their learning desire, in no time, your institution will flourish and earn the profit share.

Again, you keep turning the wheel of investing and reinvesting in different places.

With time, all your investment will give you more than $100 a day while you doing nothing except monitor your money.

Certainly, there is risk, but if you have the guts and calculative about money, you could nail it.

Become a travel guide

If you live near mountains or beaches all your life, you would probably know every nook and hook of these places. You could become a part-time travel guide during the tourist season and make money.

You can either work individually or could collaborate with hotels, resorts and travel agencies. Tell the tourist mesmerising stories about the places and take them to hidden spots that will amaze them.

Designs websites for others

There is another one of the best legit ways to make $100 a day is by designing websites for others. If you have the experience and have been doing this for a while, you might have the sources from where you could get clients.

On every website designing, you could charge a standard $100 -$500. As you have the designing skill, you could also earn money by logo designing or template making.

These are side hustle gigs that let you earn money fast if you have the skill.

You could sell any designs online through shopify and DesignCrowd.

Become a proofreader

If you could devote 2-3 hours a day, proofreading would be an ideal freelancing job for you. You will be provided with content to proofread them and earn money hourly.

There are a few legit websites where you can apply as a proofreader. Upon approval, you will be required to give an online exam to test your skill. Based on your result, you will be hired and continue to get proofreading work.

Car washing

But weekends are always the busiest for any service providing businesses. Hence, you could earn from $100-$500 on weekend.

 Providing music lessons

Parents always want their kids to do well in other cultural curriculum apart from just academics. If they find their kids are fond of music, they want musically talented individuals to train their children.

If you have the experience and depth of music. If you have learnt music and know everything that you could teach your student, you can make a sustainable life by just teaching music.

You can either start a music school or could provide private music lessons, where you could charge around $30 -$50 per hour. Not only music, you could also teach them instruments like guitar, violin, piano, tabla if you know any of the one.
