Have an extra room in the house? Try renting it out on Airbnb.com. According to Smart Asset, you can pay up to 81% of your rent by listing one room in a two-bedroom home. If you’re really looking to ring in the cash, renting out a private home or apartment is the way to go. According to Smart Asset’s findings, rates for full apartments are significantly higher than those for just rooms, with annual profits ranging from $15,000 to $31,000 for a two-bedroom apartment.

A few to try include Hipchat for group chatting, Trello or Asana for project management, Expensify for tracking expenses and submitting expense reports and Sqwiggle, which keeps your webcam turned on so your co-workers can see you at your desk all day long.

Swagbucks is one of the few all-inclusive platforms that lets you get paid for completing a variety of tasks. Like some of the other recommendations on this list, you can get paid to take daily surveys and you can also watch videos or play games for rewards points too. If one of your freelance gigs is writing or web research, you can “double dip” by performing your web searches through the Swagbucks search engine which will provide the same keyword results as going directly through Google or Bing. Every point you earn can be redeemed for gift cards or PayPal cash.
