Three Great Ways To Make Spare Cash On The Road

As everyone knows, traveling can get very expensive. Whether you are traveling to a far away country or just on a road trip to visit some family, the price of travel really starts to add up.
That’s why I thought I would share this post. In it, I will explain two fantastic ways to earn extra money, even while driving, flying, or riding on a train.
Let’s begin:

Method 1 – Freelance Writing

Freelance writing can be a great way to make extra money, even while working remote. Two great services to get started with are Odesk and Elancer. They make it very easy to set up an account and begin finding freelance writing jobs.
The great thing about freelance writing jobs is that you can complete the work virtually wherever you want. Whether you are driving, flying, or riding on a bus or train you could be typing away at your latest project. As long as you stick to getting your work in on time, you should have success with finding repeat jobs.

Method 2 – Become A Virtual Assistant

You can use the same freelancing services I listed above to get involved with a virtual assistant program. This is essentially when you provide assistant services to someone but strictly online.
This might be anything from doing data research to sending out a few emails. It can actually be very easy and rewarding work for the pay.
If you have any questions or are just curios, go onto Odesk or Elancer and create your free account. Then, look through some of the job offers that are available. Who knows, maybe something will pique your curiosity and you can apply!

Method 3 – Take Paid Online Surveys

OK, I am a bit biased to this one because I own and operate a survey panel rating website. However, this is actually a fantastic way to make extra money from just about anywhere.
Here is how legitimate survey panels operate:
1. They have contracts with big time companies that frequently need market research conducted.
2. They have a group of participants that get sent emails of these surveys when they become available.
3. They get paid by the big companies and pass the payment on to the survey takers.
It is actually a very legitimate business model and a great way to make a little extra cash. I wouldn’t necessarily rely on this for a full time income, but it is a great way to add a little extra cash.
Also – a great method many people use to make a little more cash than average is by signing up to NUMEROUS survey sites rather than just one. That way, when they are ready to take surveys they have a large list available and can make way more money than if they were simply relying on just one.

Wrapping Up

Just because you are travelling or on the go doesn’t mean you can’t be adding a little extra cash to your bank account on the side.
If you are struggling with money or just trying to save up for something special, you should definitely consider these options for making spare cash while on the road.

  1. Great article. I am a little biased about paid surveys as well. They get a bad wrap because there are so many scams that revolve around surveys. The truth is there are legit sites to get paid for surveys, you just have to do some research. I read an article at www.sideprofits.com/surveys that gave me a pretty good idea of where to start.
