Jagoinvestor - Personal Finance Blog. Manish Chauhan 95 Comments. Do you want to make extra income on a consistent basis apart from your regular job? I will be discussing 13 ideas, out which which most of the things can be instantly tried out by most of you.

Note that, here were are not talking about creating passive income which requires huge investment. We are mostly going to talk about ideas which can be implemented without requirement of huge capital, but only some time and dedication.

If you are expert in some area, you can always give your consultancy service to smaller businesses who cant hire big companies. When we were brainstorming with a client of ours to generate second line of income, he identified that he has some great knowledge in the area of terrace gardening. He could see that he can help families with large enough terrace to setup their own balcony garden and earn some fees over weekends or extra time.

Look back at what all you know and have learned over these years, and you will realise that you have some really deep knowledge in some field, and surely there are many who are looking for someone like you, who will guide them well for a lesser fees compared to professional fulltime companies.

Connecting two entities is another great way to make extra money by spending less energy. So can always have an agreement with some business entity to give clients on referral basis and earn a commission.

I recently hired a designer for some work and I asked him if he knows someone who can PRINT the designs for me. He referred me to his friend who done the printing work. I am sure he must have got some cut for the referral and there is nothing wrong in it. Its a smart way of earning money. Here is what Ajay shares in our last article. I used to refer students to a local computer institute where i myself learnt ms office. You might not know that even builders pay you k for each client referred who bought the house.

So now, have you got a friend who is into business or some kind of service? Just talk to him if you can pass on clients to him and earn some money on it.

With websites like Ebay and OLX, you can now sell virtually anything on internet to those who are looking for products. So you can do some handicraft or anything else, which can be created at home in extra time and then it can be sold on ebay.

Or you can find some local product which others would find awesome, but its not available in other parts of country and then start selling it online for a profit. Even you can look at some products which are selling at huge discount at stores wholesale market or under clearance sale and then sell it on amazon at regular price.

Earlier, when you wanted to sell something along side your job, you needed to have a shop and someone was required to be at shop all the day, not anymore!. Ramit has a great article dedicated on this topic.

If you are an expert in some area, which you think can be taught to others by creating a course out of it, you can always sell it on udemy. So if you are an expert on cooking, Yoga, SEO , Designing, MS Excel, Java, Python … whatever.. Create a nice rich course , record your videos and done!

You can tie up with these websites and then earn a lot money. Just understand those models and work on it. If you have extra time with you over weekends or after your job, you can freelance and take small projects. There are many websites like elance. There are thousands of people in India who are working full time on these kind of freelancing websites and believe me, they are earning in lakhs.

Look at it as a serious way of making money and not just a time pass activity. If you have a knack for teaching and if you are an expert in some subject, you can become a tutor online for students.

There are tons of websites like TutorVista or Tutor. You would need a great internet connectivity for this.

It can work best for someone who is ready to work late in nights as many students from US and Canada would be right fit for you then. This is the old favorite way of earning some side income. You must have listened to great stories of how many people have supported their families and their own studies just by taking tuitions.

Then why not to extend your income even if you have a job? Do you know Music? Are you an expert in Maths? Yoga or may be cooking? Then tutions is a perfect thing you can start give you are good at what you claim to. You can always dedicate 2 hours if you really have them and do some basic advertising in your apartment or nearby places and take students to teach them at home. The best part of this kind of tutors is that you refresh your dying knowledge, earn some money at the comfort of your home and you kill time which goes into unproductive things most of the times.

Do you know that next time you head over to Goa for a family holiday, you can just rent out the whole house for people at just Rs 5, a day. Airbnb gives you great way to rent your house or even an empty room, if you want to earn some extra money out of it. You can always give your extra room to travellers and people who are looking for 1 day-week stay on Airbnb.

Clients will find your listing, make the payment online, and if you accept, you host them!. Serve them as they come. Many people who have a second home or extra room, hire a maid and offer the full range of services of a regular basis. Imagine if your extra room is rented even 5 times a month and you earn Rs 1, from it? Its Rs 5, extra income! If you have a skill, you can teach someone live on google helpouts.

There are tons of categories like Arts and Music, Cooking, Home and Garden, Fitness and Nutrition and many more.. In this era of globalisation, I am sure there are enough number of people in the world who would like to pay to someone to learn some thing unique.

There are tons of odds things you can do at fiverr. Most of the times its a small manual task, which is super easy for you, but tough for others. A small assignment can be done at fiverr.

There are tons of people in world who are looking at delegating some task at a small fee. I recently ordered some amazing Egg Biryani in Pune the most delicious I had till date and the lady sold it from her home through registering at tastykhana. I had to go to the place to pickup the biryani. That got me thinking how many people in our country cook some amazing things, but never capitalize on it. So if you have people at home who cook some speciality and you feel that it will loved by people in your city, you can start pickup service at home.

Get the order, prepare the food , opt to deliver at home at extra cost or ask them to pick up from your place. If your home is big enough and there is a scope of it, a simple creche can be started. There will surely be some market for it. If most of the couples living around you are into full day jobs, you can surely cash on this opportunity and think about it. Even if it means renting another 1 BHK flat and starting your creche there, its worthwhile. See how you can actually implement this — I just gave a direction.

If you are strong in writing and can put your ideas on paper in creative manner, then you can write for newspapers and magazines. Here is what Abhijit kulkarni has done.. One of our readers shared this idea with us. I am sure it will help you also personally to take care of your health and earn some extra income. But you can always invest your money, your ideas and some basic level of administration to run a side business along with a 3rd party whom your trust.

There are many awesome people, who have the ability and passion to do some business, but they dont have money or experience or some ideas to implement. You can partner with them and offer to invest money in the business and also contribute your time over weekends or after work if its possible for you. You can build the systems and overall business. You do the backside work and the other person does the front office job. Example 2 — Do you know someone who is looking for a job and can drive well, but has limited time?

How about you buy a Maruti Van and ask him to use it to start a pick and drop business for children in school. Sonme months back, I heard the founder of Tastykhana. Can you see a point I am making? I know its not an as easy as it sounds, but at the same time, its not as tough as you imagine. You need to take some level of risk and try out these things if you want to earn extra income.

Note that earning an extra income apart from your regular job, takes huge commitment. Its simple, but not an easy task. Its not for weak hearted.

November 21, at 9: As per my knowledge, one cannot be a full time employee of two different organisations. If you start your Enterpreneurship — it will be your side business which is legal.

Option 1 — I go for service A and I pay amount X Option 1 — I go for Service A because a person B referred me to A and I pay amount X. What is wrong here when I pay the same amount? At the end, I am getting service A and I am paying X in both the cases. If someone is earning out of this, how does it affect me?
