Refer friends and acquaintances to your job

Sometimes, most employers don’t have much access to people who are qualified to the roles they need.  And let’s face it, having quality employees will help your company run and expand. It’s not always easy to get the word out and hire enough people.

That’s why companies are willing to give out referral bonuses as much as half your regular salary to employees who brought in a successful referral.

If you’re an expert, create an info product on the subject

Okay, so far, you’ve accumulated some skills during a couple of years in your professional career. You might have a PhD and years of experience under your belt with your degree. Or you might be doing what you love for years, whether it’s travelling, dancing, singing, living in a country, or being a mom.

Because you love it, know that a couple of people around the world are still starting the very same journey. They would love some references. People would buy a book, purchase a course, refer to a blog and watch a YouTube channel to get the information they need.

If you love to write, you can try sharing your expertise on blogs. You can monetize the blog by putting ads, including affiliate links in your content and selling digital products. The same goes with YouTube channels.

Play video games and stream

Sell old things like books and clothes

Rather than tossing your old stuff, sell them. Sell all the things that don’t spark joy. Most people have so many things they don’t need, and I bet you do too. Download a selling app like Mercari or go to a thrift store and put your stuff for sale from books to old clothes.
