“If you are looking for extra income, you need money. You don't have to spend money to make money, says Katie Kristof, co-founder and editor of SideHusl.com, as quoted by CNBC. “When you go to work, someone has to pay you.”

Here are four ways to find a side job without having anything but a smartphone.

1. Dog walking

Financial Panther's Kevin Ha boasts 12 (twelve!) Extra side jobs. He considers dog walking the most successful and beloved.

“The way I look at it is, I want to walk around the city, and I can do that while I'm walking the dog,” Ha said. “I organized walks and got paid for it.”

There are a number of smartphone apps, such as Rover or Wag!, to connect with dog owners looking for someone to walk their four-legged friend. If you really love walking dogs, it can turn into a full-time activity: for example, Ryan Stewart started his dog walking business, Ryan for Dogs, as a side income - and now earns six figures a year from walking and training dogs in New York.

2. Grocery shopping

With apps like Instacart and Shipt, you can make money by buying products and household items for other people. In addition, you can only shop at your convenience.

Here's how it works: you get the opportunity to make purchases through the smartphone app. If you accept the assignment, you pick up all the goods ordered by the customer at the local grocery store and deliver them to the customer’s home.

A personal customer on Instacart can earn an average of 14 dollars per hour. Earlier this year, the company increased its minimum wage from 3 to 5 dollars, depending on the destination. Buyers can earn tips in addition to these payments.

3. Sale of stock photos

Take a good look at the photo gallery of your phone. Sites such as Shutterstock and Etsy offer users the opportunity to sell images on the Internet to companies that use stock photos to make sites more attractive.

If you are trying to get extra income with your authorship photos, make sure you know what types of shots are required. Most sites will use high-quality general-purpose images that are aesthetically pleasing and clearly convey some message or symbolism that matches their brand.

After downloading the image, you can earn from $ 0,25 to $ 2,85 for one other people downloading your image. Shutterstock reports that their users can earn up to 120 dollars for downloading pictures that are very popular on their site.

4. Rental of useful things

Christophe says an easy way to make extra money is to take inventory of the items you already own that you can rent out for a profit. Sites and apps like Turo, Airbnb, and CurbFlip help users rent out their car, spare room, or parking space for easy income.

“Apps like Babyquip.com give parents the opportunity to rent out baby items that might be collecting dust in the garage,” she says. “If you have camping equipment, baby supplies, even a parking space, for example, make money from them by allowing other people to rent them.”
