earn money

 Here are a few legitimate ways to earn extra money:

- Tutoring or teaching private lessons in your areas of expertise like a foreign language, music, art, etc. You can advertise your services locally. 

- Freelance work like writing, design, programming, bookkeeping, etc. Sites like Upwork make it easy to find freelance gigs.

- Renting out a room in your home on Airbnb if you're able to host guests. 

- Selling things, you make or items around your home that you no longer need in a garage sale or on platforms like eBay, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace. 

- Doing microtasks on sites like Amazon Mechanical Turk or Respondent where you can complete small online jobs. Income potential varies.

- Delivering food for a service like DoorDash, UberEats or GrubHub in your spare time. You'll need a car.

- Tutoring online on platforms like Varsity Tutors or Outschool.
