[00:00] Most people keep using the same earning&nbsp; methods and earning platforms online,&nbsp;&nbsp; but there are actually quite a few money-making&nbsp; methods that almost nobody talks about. Some of&nbsp;&nbsp; them are more like real side hustles, and some of&nbsp; them have genuinely surprised me with what they&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:14] can pay. And a lot of you here on my channel&nbsp; also keep asking me for brand new methods&nbsp;&nbsp; that they have never heard of before. So,&nbsp; in this video here, I'm going to show you&nbsp;&nbsp; seven overlooked money-making methods&nbsp; that you've probably never heard of.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:28] And I'll be honest about who they're&nbsp; for and who should probably skip them.&nbsp;&nbsp; make money online and make extra money on the&nbsp; site in general over the past 8 to 9 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:43] And today's video is one I've been looking&nbsp; forward to making because the seven methods I&nbsp;&nbsp; will show you usually fly under the radar. Now,&nbsp; let's just start by setting the expectations.&nbsp;&nbsp; None of these are magic solutions. None of them&nbsp; will make you rich overnight. But they are real&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:58] ways to earn some extra money if you're willing&nbsp; to put in some effort. How much you can earn and&nbsp;&nbsp; what tasks you have to do varies a lot depending&nbsp; on the methods. I will explain all the important&nbsp;&nbsp; details about each method to help you find the&nbsp; right options for you. So, it's not a prioritized&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:12] list. I'll just go through the seven methods,&nbsp; explain a little bit about each and then you&nbsp;&nbsp; can decide based on that which of them you think&nbsp; sounds the most interesting and relevant for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; So let's just jump to the first option. The first&nbsp; is called Observa and this is a mystery shopping&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:28] app that pays you for example to visit stores,&nbsp; photograph shelves, check product displays and&nbsp;&nbsp; answer quick questions on behalf of major brands&nbsp; like for example Walmart, 7-Eleven and more.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:41] The task you can find here usually take 15 to 30&nbsp; minutes on average. And how much you can earn,&nbsp;&nbsp; of course, depends on the exact task, but from&nbsp; what I've seen, it's somewhere between three and&nbsp;&nbsp; $25 for each task. And there's no minimum payout&nbsp; threshold you need to reach to withdraw. Usually,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:58] once you've completed a task, your money will&nbsp; get paid into your PayPal account within 24 to 72&nbsp;&nbsp; hours. So, that's definitely great. The catch is&nbsp; that it's only available in the US and Canada. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; just keep that in mind. And when it comes&nbsp; to something like a mystery shopping app&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:13] or platform in general, task availability depends&nbsp; heavily on where you live and you have to go out&nbsp;&nbsp; to specific stores to do these tasks. So also keep&nbsp; that in mind where you live that if it's something&nbsp;&nbsp; where you have to spend too much time and money on&nbsp; transportation, then it might not be profitable.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:29] But in general, big cities have plenty of work,&nbsp; but smaller areas, they usually have a lot less.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thumbs Up is an app you can use for both Android&nbsp; and iOS devices. Basically pays you to post about&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:43] local businesses and brands on your social&nbsp; media. But the great thing is that there's&nbsp;&nbsp; no minimum follower requirement. So you don't&nbsp; have to have a huge following or anything like&nbsp;&nbsp; that to get started. You can download the app,&nbsp; sign up, verify your phone number, and then&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:58] you can browse a map for nearby businesses that&nbsp; have active campaigns. Then you for example need&nbsp;&nbsp; to take a photo, post it on Instagram, Facebook,&nbsp; TikTok or X. The exact task will of course vary,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:10] but you can read all about it when you look&nbsp; what tasks are available in your local area.&nbsp;&nbsp; And then usually you can get paid anywhere from&nbsp; $5 to $50 per approved post and you will get paid&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:22] via PayPal or Venmo. In most cases, the payments&nbsp; are more or less instantly once the post have been&nbsp;&nbsp; approved. The big limitation here is geographic&nbsp; because campaigns are mainly concentrated in a few&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:35] big US cities. So you have to keep that in mind&nbsp; also. Next we have a really interesting one in my&nbsp;&nbsp; opinion and this is called Sharetown and this&nbsp; is a platform that connects you with returns&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:49] from direct to consumer brands. And in general&nbsp; these are companies that have returns that they&nbsp;&nbsp; don't want to pick up themselves. So they pay&nbsp; you to pick them up, store them, and resell&nbsp;&nbsp; them yourself. So you don't have to actually pay&nbsp; for this inventory until it actually sells. So in&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:06] that sense, there's no financial risks, and it has&nbsp; quite high earning potential if you're willing to&nbsp;&nbsp; put in the effort. They say on the website itself&nbsp; that some reps are making up to $50 per hour. And&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:19] I have also seen examples of some of the top reps,&nbsp; they call them the the reps or share town reps,&nbsp;&nbsp; earning up to $3,000 or more per month. But of&nbsp; course, it would take some time and effort. And&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:31] you also need to be aware that because you need&nbsp; to pick up in many cases large items and store&nbsp;&nbsp; them until you can sell them. Then you need some&nbsp; kind of storage space, you also need to have a&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:43] vehicle so you can pick up these items. You need&nbsp; to be willing to put in physical effort and then&nbsp;&nbsp; have a sense of how you can sell it online, how&nbsp; you can just take the right pictures, write the&nbsp;&nbsp; right description so you can make sure you sell it&nbsp; as fast as possible. So, this is a hands-on side&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:59] hustle. So, it's definitely not a passive one, but&nbsp; with time and effort, it's also a side hustle that&nbsp;&nbsp; can give some quite nice extra money. So, let's&nbsp; now talk about Survey Monkey Rewards. And you can&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:11] use this app for both iOS and Android devices&nbsp; because most people know Survey Monkey as a&nbsp;&nbsp; business survey tool where you can create surveys&nbsp; as a business to get feedback from customers. But&nbsp;&nbsp; a lot of people don't know that they actually have&nbsp; their own rewards app for consumers. So that means&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:27] you can join it for free and start earning by&nbsp; taking small surveys and the surveys are in&nbsp;&nbsp; general short typically just two to three minutes&nbsp; and some testing have showed that it can even pay&nbsp;&nbsp; around $13 per hour which is definitely quite high&nbsp; for a survey app. The downside is then that they&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:45] are very limited surveys in general on average you&nbsp; are lucky if you get 8 to 10 surveys per month. So&nbsp;&nbsp; that's something you need to keep in mind. Also,&nbsp; another thing you need to be aware of it that it&nbsp;&nbsp; only pays out in Amazon gift cards as of recording&nbsp; this video here. So, you can't get paid in cash.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:01] So, if you want to only earn cash, then this is&nbsp; not the right option for you. You need to just&nbsp;&nbsp; earn $5 to take out your earnings. So, I would&nbsp; say this is best used as a little extra option&nbsp;&nbsp; alongside some of the other apps and websites I&nbsp; show here instead of just a standalone earner.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:18] But in general, if you're interested in survey&nbsp; apps, then I also do have a video about my top&nbsp;&nbsp; recommended survey apps. I'll leave a link in the&nbsp; top corner about for more information about that.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just wanted to take a few seconds break here&nbsp; just to make you aware that the majority of you&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:33] watching have actually not subscribed and it's&nbsp; an easy free way to support me, my channel, and&nbsp;&nbsp; my work. And I would definitely appreciate that.&nbsp; So, if you can just take one second to hit the&nbsp;&nbsp; subscribe button, you can always change your mind&nbsp; later. And also if you can hit the like button&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:46] so you can help this video get more exposure&nbsp; and attention I would definitely appreciate&nbsp;&nbsp; that support. Thank you. So the next option is&nbsp; called Neighbor and this is kind of like Airbnb&nbsp;&nbsp; for storage space you can call it. So if you have&nbsp; a spare garage, basement, attics, parking spot&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:02] or even just some extra room, you can list it here&nbsp; on this platform here and earn passive income from&nbsp;&nbsp; people who need somewhere to store their stuff. So&nbsp; once you have set it up and rented out your space,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:14] then there's nothing else you actually need to&nbsp; do. Someone will just pay you monthly to store&nbsp;&nbsp; their belongings. And I have seen example of top&nbsp; hosts that earn up to $10,000 per year. Of course,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:26] most people will earn a lot lot less depending on&nbsp; your location and also the space size, but it is&nbsp;&nbsp; free to list your storage space here and neighbor&nbsp; then also handle the payment processing. So once&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:39] easy way to earn some extra money. You just need&nbsp; to be aware that currently it's only available&nbsp;&nbsp; in the US, but if you live somewhere else, you&nbsp; can just look in your country if there might be&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:52] something similar. So then you at least you have&nbsp; inspiration for this type of earning opportunity.&nbsp;&nbsp; Micro1 is the next one I want to talk about. It&nbsp; is an AI powered platform that matches technical&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:04] professionals. That means for example developers,&nbsp; engineers, designers with remote freelance work at&nbsp;&nbsp; competitive rates. So it's not for everyone,&nbsp; but if you have the right skills, it can be&nbsp;&nbsp; interesting. And what makes it different is that&nbsp; the matching process uses AI to vet and place you.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:21] So that speeds up the finding relevant work,&nbsp; but that also means that you will actually be&nbsp;&nbsp; interviewed by an AI. I've tried that myself. It&nbsp; feels a little bit strange to be honest at first,&nbsp;&nbsp; but that's probably the future. So, it's quite&nbsp; interesting to try here and it does make things&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:35] more efficiently it seems. But as mentioned,&nbsp; it is in the higher skill category. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; it won't be relevant for everyone. But if you&nbsp; do have a technical background, it's a legit&nbsp;&nbsp; and uh it's a platform not many people talk about&nbsp; and you can find well-paying remote work here.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[08:53] The last option I want to talk about is called&nbsp; Mindrift AI and this is an AI training platform&nbsp;&nbsp; backed by Toloka. So it is a well-known company or&nbsp; platform behind it. And this is a platform where&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:05] you can get paid to help train AI models.&nbsp; For example, helping by writing prompts,&nbsp;&nbsp; evaluating AI responses, factchecking, and editing&nbsp; AI-generated content. So you can kind of think&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:17] of it as teaching AI how to think and communicate&nbsp; better. And usually it pays somewhere between $15&nbsp;&nbsp; and $60 per hour depending on your background&nbsp; and the exact project. And you would get paid&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:29] weekly via Payoneer. It is possible to join from&nbsp; all countries. You don't have to have any prior&nbsp;&nbsp; AI experience for certain roles, but there&nbsp; are also higher paying specialist projects&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:41] for people with expertise and knowledge in&nbsp; certain areas. For example, like medicine,&nbsp;&nbsp; law or finance. Just be aware that the application&nbsp; process involves an assessment that covers English&nbsp;&nbsp; factchecking and text editing and how much work&nbsp; that is available that depends on the current time&nbsp;&nbsp;
[09:57] which projects you have and all that. So it's a&nbsp; process you need to put in some time and effort&nbsp;&nbsp; to potentially qualify for work here. So these&nbsp; are some quite unknown ways to make money and&nbsp;&nbsp; some of the methods they are quite easy to&nbsp; get started with. You can earn a bit extra&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:12] here and now. Others take some more time and&nbsp; effort but also have higher earning potential.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I love coming across new method looking into&nbsp; uh what options there are because there are just&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:24] many opportunities both online and in the real&nbsp; world. And I hope this gave you some inspiration.&nbsp;&nbsp; comments below which one do you think sounds the&nbsp; most interesting and relevant for you and why.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[10:39] I would love to hear that. And also if you have&nbsp; any other unknown earning platforms, please feel&nbsp;&nbsp; free to share it below. Just don't spam with all&nbsp; kind of promotional links or anything like that.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I would love to hear genuine experiences from&nbsp; people that are just sharing here. I love reading&nbsp;&nbsp;
