10 Ways to Earn Your First $10 Online

While many people want to find ways to make money online, not everyone is looking to make big bucks online.

In fact, a lot of people are just looking for ways to earn some extra money to help them make ends meet. For example, I still get a number of Quora users who ask me, “how can I earn $10 online?”

So, I thought that might be a good topic for this article.

Here are 10 easy ways for newbies to earn $10 online.

Take Surveys: Consumer research studies are one of the easiest ways to make a fast 10 bucks online. Essentially, you are getting paid for your opinions, which makes it even better. A few of my favorite survey sites are FusionCash, InboxDollars, iPoll, and Swagbucks.
Try Out New Products: Along the same lines as getting paid for your opinion is getting paid to test new products for companies. Basically, you get to tell companies what you like and dislike about a new product before it becomes available to the general public. Pinecone Research is one of the top consumer product testing companies.
Test a Website: Continuing with our theme of getting paid for your feedback, you can also make money online by testing new websites for companies. For example, platforms like IntelliZoom and UserTesting will pay you $10 per website test.
Complete an Online Mystery Shopping Assignment: As you can see, your feedback is valuable to companies. And that goes for retailers and eCommerce platforms as well. The market research firm Telus International offers a number of online mystery shopping gigs that don’t involve leaving your house to visit a store.
Complete Short Tasks for Fast Cash: Microjobs can be another easy way to make a quick 10 bucks. These short tasks can typically be completed in a matter of minutes and sometimes even seconds. Since you can repeat them over and over again, it doesn’t take long to earn some extra money. Check out Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) and Clickworker.
Find a Writing Gig: I’m probably a bit biased (since I’m a writer) but I love getting paid to write. And freelance writing can be a good way to make money online, even for beginners. For example, sites like Contentgather, iWriter, and Textbroker are always hiring writers to write articles for clients.
Find a Freelancing Gig: A growing number of workers are opting to become freelancers. And you can even make your first $10 online from freelancing by offering a wide range of services on platforms like Fiverr, PeoplePerHour, and Upwork.
Give Someone a Virtual Hand: The website TaskRabbit is famous for in-person tasks like cleaning houses and helping people move, the platform can also connect you with people who need help with virtual tasks. For example, data entry, copywriting, and administrative services. Oftentimes, you can earn a lot more than $10 for these tasks.
Sell Your Old Stuff: There’s a chance that you might have something you no longer want that others would be willing to buy from you. For example, apps like OfferUp and Decluttr can be a great way to sell your gently used items.
Sell Your Old Clothes: And speaking of gently used, if you have nice clothing that you don’t wear, you can turn it into quick cash. In fact, I made my first $10 online by selling a graphic tee on eBay. However, there are better apps for selling used clothes — like ThredUp and Poshmark.
Here is one more little suggestion. If you combine all of the above-mentioned suggestions, you can make your first $100 online.
