Since 2020, I have been making over $1000 monthly online through some lazy ways that require just my smartphone or PC. I see them as hubbies that don’t require stress, much effort, special skills, or experience.
I know you too want to make money monthly online doing lazy stuff and that’s why I have compiled 5 lazy ways that have worked for me and other people for you to copy and implement.
These methods are legitimate, fun, interesting, and suitable for everyone who wants to make $1000 monthly online without putting much effort. Women, especially nursing mothers, stay-at-home moms, and retirees can easily do them while taking care of the home.
1. Take High Paying Surveys ( My Best Pick)
I make over $100 every week since I joined SurveyJunkie and started taking surveys many times every day.
I have been with them since 2022, and it is one of the best survey sites for US residents.
It’s more lucrative than other survey sites because it sometimes involves a panel of discussions, and this type of survey can pay up to $200 for a single one you complete.
And what they ask you are simple questions on events around you, asking you to give your opinion on current issues happening in society.
For each survey you successfully take, you earn points, which you can redeem for PayPal Cash or Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks gift cards.
The process is simple:
Sign up with your active email address (You receive 25 points for signing up)
Check your inbox and click the green button to confirm your email (You receive 25 point bonus for confirming your email)
Complete your profile so that SurveyJunkie can find high-paying surveys that suit you (You receive 50 points for completing your profile)
That’s all.
Log in and start taking surveys and possibly get an invitation to join a discussion panel, where you can earn up to $200 for a 30 to 35-minute discussion where you give your honest opinion.
You can redeem your points for PayPal Cash, which is paid directly into your PayPal.
Minimum withdrawal is $5.
2. Make Free Money From Deals & Freebies
Many people don’t know they can make cool money from deals and freebies from big companies.
At Sample & Savings, many top-rated brands in America like KFC are willing to give you samples of their products for you to test for Free.
Some of these products cost up to $1000. You can also save a huge amount while shopping using coupon codes and deals.
For example, you can make up $2500 by using an app to book a ride. You can buy a single product and quality to get another one for free.
Samples and Savings is all about ensuring that you make money from shopping and other bills you pay every day as a person to keep life going.

That’s simple.
3. Shop & Earn Money
Before now, I used to shop directly on Amazon and get nothing as a reward.
But recently, I discovered Drop Reward App, which has been rewarding me with gift cards for shopping online with their app.
Since I shop almost every week at major stores like Amazon, Best Buy, Starbucks, and Walmart, I make up $500 in gift cards every month.
And the interesting thing is that they have coupon codes that offer you discounts when you shop at major online stores in the US and Canada.
I started earning points immediately after Signed Up, Downloaded the App, and linked my credit card
And you don’t have to worry about the safety of your card, as Drop is PCI-compliant and uses encryption to protect your card. So no hacker can see your credit or debit card details.
You can shop on over 50 online stores using Drop and each time you make a purchase, you earn a point which you can redeem as a gift card. Drop rewards with major gift cards like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, American Eagle, Disney, Starbucks, and many more.
What I like about Drop App is transparency. You see a list of all the items you purchased online on your app and the points you earned for them.
Shopping isn’t the only way to earn rewards on Drop App. You also earn rewards by playing games, filling up forms, and sending gifts.
Here’s how it works
- Sign Up For Free
- Download and Install Drop App On Your Android or iPhone For Free
- Link your credit or debit card (Drop App is PCI-compliant and uses encryption to keep your card safe always)
- Start shopping and doing other tasks to earn points
- Redeem your points to your preferred gift card.
4. Test Apps, Websites & Get Paid
Top brands like Microsoft, HP, Canva, Alaska, GoDaddy Hello Fresh, etc. pay users to test their apps and websites. This is because they always upgrade their systems and want to get honest feedback aimed at providing a great user experience.
I know you would be saying this isn’t for you since it involves tech. But no, anyone who knows how to use a smartphone or PC can do app and website testing tasks and make money online from home.
Join me and my audience to learn how to make money from home
I have done it previously on User Testing, which is a high-paying platform when it comes to testing apps to get paid. It just requires your smartphone, PC, microphone, and internet connection. The tasks are usually for you to load an app or website, check out certain features, use them to perform tasks, and then give your opinion.
Here is how it works:
- Apply here for free and submit your email address
- Take practice tests for the company to decide if you qualify to work with them
- If you pass the practice test, you get access to materials you need to understand better how to test apps and websites and get paid
- Start testing apps and earn money
The amount of money you make for each completed test depends on the nature of the task. The more time it takes to complete a test, the more money you earn.
When I worked with them, I made $15 each time I tested a feature on an app that lasted for 1 hour. Payments are made via PayPal after 14 days of completing tests.
5. Promote Fiverr Gigs
Recently, I signed up for Fiverr affiliate program for free and started promoting Fiverr gigs. So far, I have earned over $250 in commission.
Even this December, I have already made $11 in commission.
This is another lazy way I make money. While I do this with my blog, you can do it with other platforms, especially social media.
Thousands of businesses buy services on Fiverr every day, and convincing them to use your affiliate link to buy a service on Fiverr will see you earn a commission.
One of the less stressful ways of doing this is to join Facebook groups where businesses hire services like content writing, graphics design, SEO, virtual assistant, etc.
Let’s assume a business made a post on a Facebook group stating that they are looking for a graphic designer. You can simply reply to them in a comment with a sentence that recommends a Fiverr graphic designer gig you promote and paste your link. If they use your link to buy such a service, cha-ching you earn a commission.
Pinterest is another channel I’m focusing on to promote my Fiverr affiliate links.
Pinterest search results show that people want to hire expert logo designers, and I have been creating pins aggressively to promote logo design gigs.
What I like about the Fiverr affiliate program is that they approve you instantly, and they pay monthly via PayPal, Payoneer, or Wire Transfer once you earn up to $100 in commission. So join here for free.
6. Rent Your Extra Space & Earn Make Money
It may surprise you to know that you can rent a space you don’t use in the United States and make money.
Yes, a lot of people in America look for spaces where they can keep or store their stuff.
If you have a garage, driveway, parking lot, basement, bedroom, shed, warehouse, self-storage unit, or any space you don’t use, no matter the size, it’s time to rent it to people in your neighborhood who need storage space and earn up to $400 monthly.
This doesn’t involve you going house to house telling people you have a space to rent – ????
Neighbor is an online platform where you can register for free, and get paid for people to use your space to store items.
Here is how it works:
Enter your email address, name, and phone to list your space
Tell about your space, where it’s located, and how much you would like to earn to have someone in your neighborhood use it
Review the renter’s request, what they want to store and approve them
Schedule the time your new renter will move in
Apart from making money from your space, Neighbor has a policy that protects your property and ensures you don’t suffer any damage on the account of renting them out.
Here they go:

Sign up for free to start renting your empty space and earn up to $400 monthly
7. Start A Faceless YouTube channel With AI
I make $291 monthly just after 4 months of starting my faceless YouTube channel. This has been one of the lazy ways I make money online.
You may wonder how creating YouTube videos is a lazy way to make money online. But yeah, AI tools have made it a very easy and lazy way to make money, and a lot of folks are jumping into it.
Use AI writing tools like Jasper to generate faceless YouTube video ideas and write video scripts in minutes. Use AI voice generators like Murf AI to generate voices that sound like humans for your videos.
Edit your video online using Invideo which also has AI features to make editing easy and fun.
Then you have Canva to create attractive thumbnails for your videos. Even Canva recently added an AI feature that can help you create thumbnails and other designs in minutes.
So you can see that starting a faceless YouTube channel and leveraging AI tools to run it can make you money without much stress.
Once you hit 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours, you can apply for a YouTube partnership program and start making money from YouTube Ad revenue. You can also grow your money on YouTube via affiliate programs, sponsorship, and sale of digital products.
This guide shows you how to start a faceless YouTube channel and make money from it.
8. Tweet On X (Formerly Twitter)
One of the cool ideas Elon Musk came up with after he acquired X (formerly Twitter) was a monetization program, which many X users benefit from. Gone are the days when you tweet for free. Now you tweet and make money. This is one of the lazy ways many social media enthusiasts have been using to make money.
From the screenshot below, you can see that people are making money on X just by posting content.
Imagine someone making over $300 just by posting content on X monthly.
I have even seen screenshots of people making up to $1000 monthly.
That reminds me that I have to take Twitter more seriously so I can start getting my share of the cake.
How does this work?
I guess that will be the next question on your mind. It’s simple.
- Sign up on X if you haven’t
- Join Twitter Blue, which gives you the verification badge and unlocks other features you can use to make more money on X as a content creator (keep in mind you pay $8 monthly to keep your verification status)
- Start posting valuable content that people will engage with (the aim is to get 5 million impressions as soon as possible, which is one of the requirements to join the monetization program)
Once you meet the requirements – Subscribing to Twitter Blue and hitting 5 million impressions in the last 3 months), you can then apply for monetization.
X monetization team will review your application and approve it if your account hasn’t gone against their guidelines.
Then you can set up your payment method – PayPal or Stripe.
That’s all. Every month, X will pay you based on the ad revenue the content you posted generated in the last 30 days.
To make more money via X monetization program, you need to post more valuable content regularly. One way gurus on X use to post many times a day is via Twitter scheduling tools like Hypefury. You can schedule up to 50 posts a day and have them post automatically at a set time.
9. Blog With AI
Gone are the days when people thought that blogging was very hard and stressful. The era of artificial intelligence has done the heavy lifting when it comes to the most difficult aspect of blogging – Blog ideas and Blog post writing.
With AI writing tools like Jasper or Content at Scale, you can generate blog post ideas for any niche, write and publish them in minutes. And when it comes to driving traffic to your blog which is important for you to make money even while you sleep, you have many fast ways to do that.
I know you must have heard that driving organic traffic from Google is hard, especially for beginner bloggers. While this is true to some extent, you have other quick options that can give you results in the shortest possible time.
For example, you can use Pinterest to drive traffic to your blog. Facebook, Reddit, and even LinkedIn are also quick ways to drive quality traffic without waiting for 6 months or more to get out of Google’s sandbox.
I started using Pinterest as a way of driving traffic to this blog you are reading and in the last 5 months, I have been able to grow my traffic from 0 to 2k monthly visits from Pinterest alone. And I just post a few pins per day.
I have also read stories of bloggers who grew their traffic to over 100k monthly views in just 4 months on Pinterest.
Below is a tweet from Mike Futia, a blogger who is killing it on Pinterest. He started a new site and within 4 months, he is already getting 21k weekly views to his blog, all thanks to Pinterest traffic.
One thing about blogging is that you have many options to make money, provided you drive a high volume of traffic monthly. You monetize via Ads by partnering with Ad companies like AdSense, Ezoic, Mediavine, or Raptive. You can sign up for affiliate programs like GetResponse and Shopify and earn a commission when your audience makes a purchase using your link.
Selling digital products and sponsorship deals are other monetization strategies bloggers use to boost their earnings.
10. Sell Things Online
Ecommerce and dropshipping businesses are booming as the number of people who prefer to shop online and have products delivered to their doorsteps continues to increase. This is why Amazon and its sellers continue to record high volumes of sales every month.
If you love ecommerce, selling stuff online is a lazy way to make money online. You can wake up from sleep and discover that you made sales from your store. One of the fears people have when they hear about ecommerce is that it requires investment. But it isn’t always true because there are different ways to go about it without making an initial investment.
For example, you can sell handmade products like greeting cards, jewelry made with beads, etc. on Etsy and make money. This is one way stay-at-home moms make money from ecommerce. I have also read articles about people selling feet pictures on Etsy to make money.
Creating a store on Etsy is free. Etsy only takes a percentage of every sale you make. This is a win-win compared to what happens on Shopify, where you subscribe to a monthly or yearly plan before you leverage the platform to sell your products.
What I like about Etsy is that it’s popular for handmade and vintage products. So conversion on the platform is high. Once you set up your Etsy store and upload products, optimize it for SEO, so buyers can easily find your products when they perform a search.
Also consider platforms like Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram are ways of driving quality traffic to your Etsy store to boost your sales.
That’s it with the lazy ways you can make $1000 monthly online from home. I make money from some of these methods, and I know you too will once you give it a try and be consistent. You can even combine up to 3 or 4 of them to boost your earnings to $2000 or more every month.
For instance, you can combine taking high-paying surveys on MySoapBox with promoting Fiverr gigs and posting content on X. These 3 are easy to do and won’t take up to 4 hours a day.
