In this article, we’ll share the best way to make money without a job.
One that doesn’t cost much, but requires a little hard-work and determination.
In society, when most people finish college, they immediately start looking for full-time employment in their field.
Unfortunately, a lot of those people rarely find enough work to support themselves, much less pay off their student loans.
Wages are low, and most entry-level positions require a couple years of experience.
Not to worry, there are ways to make money without a job.
In this article, we’ll talk about the best way to make money online without a job.
So if you are feeling frustrated with your lack of employment options, continue reading this article, the solution might be right here.
The Best Way to Make Money Without a Job?
To be clear, there are a lot of different ways to make money online, but everyone is different, and everyone has different interests.
Nevertheless, there’s not much to dislike from our recommended option.
- Work your own hours.
- Build your own business.
- Work anywhere in the world.
What’s not to love?
But you’ve heard those pitches before – attached to programs that promise the world or millions of dollars in a couple days.
Too many scams out there, I know, I get it.
I made this website to bust scams, and make it easy for people to find training that actually works – no fluff.
So I’ll get right into it, no false promises.
For now, let’s look for some services we can offer.
Services You Can Offer to Make a Buck:
We mentioned this in other articles, but I’ll mention it again.
If you want to make fast cash; offer a service, it’s that simple.
Here are a list of some of the places you can offer your services:
(Most of these platforms will require you to build up a portfolio for consistent work).
- UpWork
- Freelancer.com
- Fiver
- People Per Hour
- Gum Tree
- Guru
- Internet Marketing Classified Ads
- Craigslist
- Facebook Groups
Or you could avoid these freelance marketplaces and find clients directly through their websites.
There are many others too, and new platforms like these sprout up on a regular basis.
Take a look at which freelancer’s are popular, and offer a similar service.
It might take awhile to build up a portfolio and testimonials.
But its one of the best ways to make money without a job.
Bonus Business Idea:
Here’s a bonus business idea for your consideration:
Learn how to create simple WordPress based websites and offer your website-creation services on classified ads on popular internet marketing forums.
One such forum is Warrior Forum and it has a very active community!
Offer some work for free to earn testimonials and soon you should have some work.

Our Best Way to Make Money Without a Job:
There are two types of income; in-your-hand cash, and passive income.
Getting a job or offering a service will earn you fast cash-in-hand.
You do the job and get paid, it’s done.
I always recommend having at least one source of fast cash because building an online business takes time.
And you likely won’t earn anything in the first few weeks (read this post to see how long it takes to make money online?).
If you need money right now – offer a service, or sell some old things in your house.
That’s the best way to make cold hard fast cash.
But why not work on your future, and start building your own business, so that one day you won’t need a job?
In our opinion, the best way to make money without a job is by starting a niche website.
Here’s How it Works:
- Start a website in a niche.
- Learn to write keyword-targeted articles.
- Market the site.
- Build up traffic until it’s bringing in sales every day.

Gone are the days when you need to learn HTML to build a site.
There are plenty of website-building tools at your disposal.
One of my favorite is a website building platform call Site Rubix.

It’s free.
But WordPress is just as simple.
So building a website is no longer the ultra-complicated task it once was; today building a website is a breeze, anyone can do it.
Today, the most difficult part about building a website is finding the right niche and acquiring traffic.
As long as you focus on writing quality articles, the traffic will come.
Sources of Traffic You Can Consider:
Not sure how to get traffic? Here are some ideas:
- Paid Traffic
- Facebook Groups
- Comment Exchange Groups
- Facebook Friends
- Stumble Upon
- Guest Posts
- Outreach and much more!
Imagine your website is bringing in traffic.
How will you make money from that traffic?
You’ll can either create your own product or promote one as an affiliate.
Most bloggers advertise a few different things on their website; their services, advertisement options, affiliate products, their own products/courses, and more.
Affiliate marketing is the path I chose, and though I chose the make money online niche, I don’t recommend this niche to beginners because the competition is fierce.
It would be much better to pursue a website about one of your hobbies or interests, and then find related affiliate products to promote.
For example, if you are a fitness enthusiast, consider reviewing one of the work out programs out there.
Or fitness equipment on Amazon.
There are a lot of ideas you can look into.
Ready to Start Making Your Site?
It’s a simple strategy!
And it works!
In short, we think the best way to make money without a job is by building a website and using it to promote affiliate products.
As you get more traffic you can offer advertising from Amazon, Google, etc..
Even if the website isn’t a massive success, it will provide you with a lot of experience.
That experience is quite valuable!
It’s also something you can add to your resume.
Employers are always looking for people with a wide skill set, and online marketing is a very useful skill.

Love the idea! And I can personally confirm that building a website from scratch is extremely gratifying and it comes with many challenges too.
I would also like to make a suggestion on how to make some extra money without a job (but in this case, it’s an offline activity): become someone’s local friend and show them around your city. The best thing about this is that you get to make your own schedule and you also decide how much you want to charge for the local experiences that you are offering.
Keep the good ideas coming! 🙂
An interesting post with a lot of good information. Your list of sources of traffic is comprehensive and helpful. I am a member of Wealthy Affiliate and it has a comment exchange system that I use a lot but I do think it is underutilized by many of the members. I particularly like using outreach. I got a lot of value from your post but I would have liked you to expand the traffic source list to include what other sources there are.
Hey Margaret,
Thanks for your feedback. You should get our Free Targeting Traffic eBook.
This is what I use to bring in 1,000’s of visitors to my sites and works extremely well.
All white hat SEO.
That and/or PPC and you’ll do great. But go for the organic free traffic first.
An interesting page. Separating the income streams seem to clearly delineate the differences between quick cash and passive income.
Offering links to other posts you’ve done maintains engagement for the reader and provides more opportunity for you to earn.
Your ongoing engagement with those who comment is a very positive thing as well as an encouragement for them to follow your lead.
All of these things help when creating money online. Eventually, using proven methods that work, you can make money without having a day job.
As long as you do what you love.
Great feedback Ron, thanks.
Hi Todd,
I love how comprehensive and in-depth your articles are. Creating a passive income is a long-term strategy and you really have to invest your time to build a serious income.
I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for over a year now, and I’m yet to see some substantial results, but I couldn’t agree more when you say that the experience you get from building your own website is quite valuable.
I’ve learned so much along the way, being a complete newbie to online marketing. And I love that you are in charge of your own life and destiny.
Hi Zuzana, you’ve got a good perspective on this. However, I might encourage you to sign up for our Free Targeted Traffic eBook.
It’s basically a guide I follow to rank content organically and quickly. It’s a series of white hat seo techniques that you can apply for great results.
The first year is tough, they get easier. You need to get your mind wrapped around creating funnels for every post you create and strive to help your niche audience.
Best,
Todd
I’ve just read this interesting post and I’m aware of the many ways to make money online, but I’ve never heard of the Comment Exchange Sites.
Do you use them much? Can you tell me more about those please?
Also, I’ve used Fiverr before to hire writers for 2 of my businesses and if you want quality on the cheap, that’s a really good resource. I need to check out Craigslist though, never used that one.
Hi Dave,
I used to have Commentinig Buddies, basically fellow site owners that were in a similar niche and we’d socially share each others post and make insightful comments about the post.
This is great to get traffic to your site and get more content on your post as well as get a good back link from social platforms. So this helps your rankings and user engagement.
I used to then do PPC after I had a handful of comments on a post to get more traffic and hopefully inspire more comments/social shares.
Now I streamline the entire process by using a Site Commenting platform. The only one I use is from Site Rubix (click the link to learn more about this service).
I can exchange comment for comment or buy them for $1. I buy to save time.
This is an awesome white hat seo strategy that every website owner should take advantage of.
Very interesting article you have here on making money without a job. I have to agree with you that probably the best way (especially for beginners) is to build your own website.
I know from my own experience it does take a lot of time and dedication. Something that most people will give up on, in a short time frame.
As you stated, and I hope all of your readers will understand is that you definitely have to get with a good company to build a profitable business online.
Your recommendations are wonderful, I believe your readers will follow through with your advice.
I know I definitely have learned a lot from the wealthy affiliate program.
Here’s to your success!
Angela
Thanks Angela,
Great feedback and advise. It does takes some time, like anything of value, but the rewards are certainly worth it.
Cheers,
Todd
Hi Todd, I like the way you separate the two ways of making fast cash and passive cash.
Yes you do need fast cash and a good flow of it . And yes you are also right when you say that the best way to make money without working (physical work) is through the world wide web…. and the best way to earn money on the world wide web is to have an online business (build you own website).
Great suggestions to help those out there to get started.
How long do suggest it takes someone new to see results?

Selecting an internet marketing program/platform can be a crapshoot but Wealthy Affiliate is definitely the real deal.
There aren’t may systems out there where once can earn $$ without a job but this is definitely one that works in my opinion.
I found your page when googling about affiliate marketing and it’s nice to see someone else with feedback about Wealthy Affiliate.
Will stop by again soon.
Please come back anytime Will and thanks for your feedback. Wealthy Affiliate is an excellent education, support system, and platform that really provides a ton of value to online entrepreneurs like you and me.
Making money online is a new frontier, one that many don’t consider. But when you compare the benefits, costs, and so forth, it’s a great alternative.
I can think of worse things than being able to work from anywhere and on your own schedule.
