The key is finding ways to make money that fit your skills, interests, and schedule. With a little creativity, you can make $3,000 or more per month without going to an office every day.
Below are 9 realistic ways to make an extra $3,000 each month at home. I’ll provide actionable tips to get started with each one.
Renting out a room on Airbnb can easily bring in $1,000 or more per month. All you need is a furnished room to host guests.
Getting started:
Make sure your city allows short-term rentals. Get permits if required.
Create a listing with photos, amenities, house rules, and pricing. Highlight what makes your space appealing.
Set a competitive nightly rate based on comparable listings in your area.
Require guests to book and pay through Airbnb for safety and convenience.
Block off dates when the room is unavailable. Respond to booking inquiries promptly.
Provide clean linens, toiletries, hangers, wi-fi, and anything else guests need.
Leave guides on local restaurants and attractions. Be available as needed during stays.
With good reviews, you can easily net $1,500 or more per month after Airbnb’s fees. The income is fairly passive other than cleaning and maintenance between guests.
In cities, parking spots can be rented for $100 or more per month. Listing your unused driveway, garage or designated spot can make for easy passive income.
Getting started:
Check city regulations on renting out parking spots. Get proper permits if needed.
Determine a fair monthly rental rate based on location and demand. Sites like JustPark and ParqEx can provide estimates.
List the parking spot on platforms like ParqEx and Craigslist with photos and details.
