How to Make 100 Dollars a Day in 2023 (21 Realistic Ways)

So you want to know how to make 100 dollars a day?

100 dollars a day may not be enough for some people out there, but for majority of the people it can be a full time living! Not kidding!

Whether you have a job and you want to start making 100 dollars a day on the side or you are jobless and want to start making money, we have got you covered!

In this article I have listed 26 ways you CAN make 100 dollars a day BUT the potential of making money from these ways may not be same for all of you. For example, driving for Uber might be a great way to make 100 dollars fast in a big city, but not for someone living on 20 acres in the country.

Alright let’s get into the list,

How to Make 100 Dollars a Day

Here are 20 ways to make 100 dollars a day.

1. Provide Proofreading Services

Are you a native English speaker?

Can you sort out the grammatical and punctuation mistakes from an article or an eBook?

If your answer is yes, then you have a great opportunity to start making money online.

You can offer your proofreading services on different freelance websites like Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer and Guru and can potentially make 100 dollars a day!

One success story is Caitlin Pyle, who was able to make over $40,000 per year as a proofreader, and now teaches others how to do the same.

This is a great opportunity to have a side income making extra money with flexible hours and the ability to work from home.

Especially for stay-at-home moms or dads, or teachers looking to make money during the summer, this could be a viable idea that allows you to work on your terms.

Caitlin has put together a FREE 76-minute workshop, where she shares:

• More about herself (get to know the teacher!)
• More about proofreading as a profession — including one great place to find work
• A free introductory tutorial on how to use the most popular proofreading tool on the market

2. Combine a Few Small Side Hustles

If you’re just getting started in the side hustle game, it can feel a little daunting to go from $0 to $100 a day.

In that case, I always recommend starting small to build momentum, and scale up from there.

One of the easiest ways to work your way up to earning $100 a day is to combine several different side hustles that may not make that much on their own.

There are tons of easy ways to make an extra $20, or even $100 fast. By tackling several of these smaller ideas, the income can add up throughout the month.

Paid surveys

If you haven’t done online surveys before, this is a great place to start making money. Many companies will pay you for your opinions for product research, polling, or tracking consumer trends.

The “secret” (if there is one) is to sign up for a few different survey sites and apps to give you multiple options to make money in your downtime, or even while sitting on the couch watching Netflix.

The best of the best survey sites include:

• Survey Junkie (my favorite overall)
• Swagbucks ($5 sign up bonus)
• MyPoints ($10 sign up bonus)
• InboxDollars ($5 sign up bonus)

Credit card rewards

I’ve written before about how we make $2,000 a year from credit card rewards.

Many cards offer sizeable sign up bonuses (like the Chase Sapphire Preferred that currently offers a $1,000 bonus).

Between the initial bonuses and ongoing cash back for purchases (generally 1-2%), you can make a decent amount of money each month just by using your credit cards for normal purchases.

It goes without saying that credit card rewards are NOT worth it if you carry a balance and have to pay 15-20% in interest. If you’re going to make this mini side hustle work for you, you’ll need good credit and the discipline to pay off the balance each month.

If you want to learn more, check out my review of my #1 favorite rewards card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

Microtasks

Another way to make quick money on your own schedule is by completing short tasks online. These tasks usually take anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes to complete through various platforms such as Mechanical Turk.

For more details, see How Jeff Made $10,000 With Online Surveys and Microtasks.

3. Become a Virtual Assistant

Big companies and online businesses have a lot of stuff to do, so they minimize their work load by outsourcing most of their work to virtual assistants.

There are a lot of services that come under the domain of virtual assistance i.e. blog management, email management, freelance writing, graphics designing, database management, social media management and any other service that can be done remotely.

The best way to get started as a virtual assistant is to pick one or two fields and specialize in them.

Once you feel that you have gained a strong grip on your services, start reaching out to prospective clients through social media or through their websites and join virtual assistant groups on Facebook to learn from other people in your space. You can also join freelance websites like Upwork to provide your services.

BUT! Before that make sure you have made your own portfolio website to showcase your services and experience in a professional way.

One popular (and profitable) niche is virtual bookkeeping.

If you are organized and good with numbers, you can provide bookkeeping services to busy business owners.

I interviewed Nate, who started a side hustle as a bookkeeper that eventually allowed him to quit his teaching job and make $75 per hour from home!

How Nate’s Bookkeeping Side Hustle Allowed Him to Quit His Job and Make $75/Hr from Home

There are a lot of benefits to being a bookkeeper, such as:

• flexible hours (there is rarely such a thing as a bookkeeping emergency)
• good pay ($60+ an hour)
• no degree or certification required

If you want to learn more about whether bookkeeping would be a good fit, and how to learn the skills needed to be a great bookkeeper, I highly recommend my friend Ben’s free training series:

4. Get Paid to Play Games With Bingo Cash

Ok, it won’t make you $100 every day, but did you know you can make money playing games?

Bingo Cash is a fast-paced bingo game where you can compete with other players to win real cash prizes.

As of this writing, the app has an overall 4.7 star rating and over 98,000 reviews on the Apple App Store.

The game is free to download and play, and matches you with players of similar skill levels. While you won’t get rich overnight, entering cash tournaments allows you to win real money and be eligible for daily gifts and bonuses!

One App Store reviewer noted that Bingo Cash is “legit and the cash out process is fast. This is the best game of bingo I’ve played.”

Note that cash tournaments are not available in the following states: AZ, IA, LA, SC, and WA.

5. Write and Publish an eBook

People who are naturally good at writing can go for Amazon Kindle Publishing!

Normally, we have been trained enough at our high schools and colleges about how to research and present written material effectively. So almost everybody can opt for this money making strategy!

The best part is that the Kindle app is available on every device ranging from your laptop to smart phones, so no extra hassle is needed.

You can put up your book for $1.49 – $6.99 and you earn 70% of the sale. Considering how huge Amazon’s market is along with the growing demand for digital books, this is a pretty fantastic deal.

The key is to create value.

Your ebook should preferably be non-fiction which aims at making people’s life better in some way.

This can be done either by providing knowledge, insights, or suggestions about how to solve certain universal or wide scale problems like depression, budgeting, etc.

Almost all the books that sell good, have attractive titles such as ‘secret to…’, ‘7 ways to…’ and so on. People are attracted to such titles.

Another useful tip is to get a great cover designed that stands out, and once your book is live on Kindle store, it is reaaalllllyyyy important to get some super attractive reviews from your own social circle at least.

This makes it rank higher in results, and needless to say it’s a great marketing technique!

6. Make $100 a Day By Renting Out Your Car 

Do you have a car that you rarely drive?

Then why not rent it out to make money fast or make a consistent income every month?

This is a great passive income idea that many people are utilizing to make a great amount of money.

As far as acquiring customers is concerned, you need not to worry as Turo and Getaround have done the job for you.

Turo and Getaround are the two biggest car rental platforms that connect people like you who have a spare car to people who need a car for rent.

You don’t need to go out and look for customers, you just need to install their app, list your car and wait for any customer near you to rent your car.

7. Share Your Home with Airbnb Guests

Okay, now this one is one of my favorites. You can easily earn $100 per day just by renting out a bedroom!

Ever heard of Airbnb? Well, now you have. It is a company that allows you to rent out your home or only one room to tourists, visitors or anyone looking for a temporary residence in your area.

If you are planning to go on vacation for a month or so then you can not only enjoy beach parties, but also earn some extra income for renting out a bedroom while you aren’t at home!

It’s like getting a 100% free vacation! Yayyy!

Oh and don’t worry about getting your house trashed till you come back. Airbnb’s insurance policy has it completely handled.

8. Become a Freelance Writer

Freelance writing is one of the most lucrative ways to make money online with a vast scope that is continuously increasing day by day.

According to Bill Gates, “Content is king“.

New companies open everyday and they want content for their content marketing strategies.

They want writers to write high quality content for them and they are ready to pay a good amount of money for that!

You don’t need to be a scholar or a vocabulary geek to become a content writer!

If you can write an article in simple English in a conversational tone with no grammatical errors, you can become a successful freelance writer!

The traditional way to start content writing is to sign up on various freelance websites like Upwork and start providing your services at a fixed rate.

I DON’T recommend this way!

I recommend you first choose a niche (e.g fitness), start a blog in that niche, and write 10 to 15 quality articles on your blog.

You can then show these articles to your potential clients as samples.

Build relationships with fellow bloggers in your niche and do guest blogging on their blogs to get exposure

Last but not least, start approaching websites in your niche to provide your content writing services at competitive rates.

9. Buy and Sell Domain Names

This one isn’t as popular, so I didn’t put in the top of this list. It’s still pretty profitable though.

If you don’t know what a domain is, it is actually a web address for some website like the domain for this website is wealthynickel.com.

Now you might be wondering how can you make a lot of money selling these domain names? After all these are just names!

But the thing is, these domain names carry huge significance for any business, especially in this digital era where nearly every business has a digital presence.

Not every domain can be sold for a good amount of money.

Some domain names can be worth millions of dollars while others are worth only 10 bucks.

For example the domain carinsurance.com got sold for $49.7 million and vacationrentals.com went for 34 millions dollars.

On the other hand, some domain names are worth only 10 dollars because they don’t carry any significance. Nobody would spend more than 10 to 20 bucks to buy a domain name like bestlaptoprepairlab.com.

How can you make money selling these domain names?

Go to Namecheap and start researching cool and branded domain names that are available to be registered.

Buy any domain which you think companies would buy from you at a much higher price. For example, short one word domain names that can be branded are a good bet.

After buying the domain name, you can put it for sale in auctions and hope to sell at a good price.

10. Join the Amazon Affiliate Program

Amazon has an affiliate program that allows you to sell their products and earn a commission per sale.

Considering the amount of sales Amazon gets on average, you can surely make a lot of money with this program.

But Amazon has strict guidelines regarding promotional strategies.

The best and most legitimate way to make money with Amazon affiliate program is to make a website focused around one small niche and then review products in that niche.

People are literally making millions of dollars every month using this method.

Want some inspiration?

Luqman Khan, the ex-owner of 10beasts.com (an Amazon affiliate site) started this website back in January 2016 and started making $40,000 per month within a few months. Later on he sold the site for $500,000 in December 2017.

11. Offer Gigs on Fiverr

Fiverr is a huge freelance website where you can sell any kind of services ranging from $5 to $10,000.

You can sell any kind of virtual service you can think of!

Yes! Any kind of service!

Graphic design, content writing, web development, and digital marketing are the most trending niches on Fiverr, but at the same time there is a lot of competition in these niches.

Getting your first few orders are difficult, so I would recommend you tell your friends and family about the service you are providing and also promote your gigs on social media to get the first few sales.

You can learn any professional skill online and start providing your services.

Check out this guide to making money online through Fiverr.

12. Provide Social Media Management Services

Business owners have very little time to look after their social media accounts.

They are just too much busy with work and are willing to outsource the whole process to someone who knows how to leverage the power of social media to grow their business.

If you think you can do this job for them, what’s better than this?

Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult!

Just spend some days scrolling through the Facebook and other social accounts of big companies who are doing social media marketing effectively.

Check out their strategies, read the comments, go through the profiles of people who commented, and learn the way they interact with their audience.

Doing so will help you learn what is working and and what’s not.

Pick only one industry like cosmetics, clothing, or whatever, and try to stick to only one social network. This will help you gain a strong grip on your social media management skills.

You can offer your services to companies by directly asking them or join freelance or remote jobs websites and get clients over there.

This is definitely one of the best ways for you if you need money now.

13. Sell T-shirts Online

We know people love t-shirts a lot and when it comes to event-related ones like Halloween or Christmas t-shirts, they just go crazy.

Why not turn this obsession into a profitable business?

You can design eye-catching and cool t-shirts related to an event and sell it to people through Facebook ads or any other advertising medium.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to do any of the printing, storing or shipping etc.

The whole process is done by Teespring.

Teespring is a print on demand website that allows you to design t-shirts and advertise them through any medium. Whenever someone buys the t shirt through your link, it is shipped to them by Teespring.

Teespring takes $10 per t-shirt and you keep the profit!

Isn’t that cool?

You can potentially make 100 dollars a day using this method, but first you need learn how to promote your product.

For that you need to learn FB and Instagram ads, or how to build a following as an influencer.

14. Get a Part Time Job

Many people discount the value of old-fashioned hard work and finding a local part-time job.

Working at McDonalds or Subway seems pretty manageable, and the pay isn’t bad either.

You can also work as a bartender, assistant at a salon, or at a grocery store and so on.

If you have enough spare energy afterwards, you can utilize some of the other options in the list for even more quick money!

Oh and if you are lucky, you might find a side job that you end up falling completely in love with which may even lead to a major career shift! Who knows?

15. Sell Clothes on eBay

Want to sell clothes? Go for eBay!

You can sell all sorts of clothes there. Have an old jacket? A sweater? A t-shirt you don’t like any more maybe?

This is more than a win-win situation. It’s like a double win for you because you get to empty your closet a bit by disposing of clothes you no longer need, and by snagging a couple of dollars while you are at it!

You can even sell suits or other kinds of expensive clothing and voila! Fast money on your way!

You will have to learn some marketing skills though.

Try taking some really good pictures of the clothes you want to sell to grab buyers’ attention.

Check out this video by SeedTime Money to understand the process of selling on eBay,

Hope this video helps!

16. Start Small-Scale Businesses

We all know that growing your assets is key to increasing your net worth.

Well small-scale businesses are assets that generate instant cash flow.

You can hire someone to run a fruit stand or handicraft stand (anything of value) and income will be generated almost every day in small/variable amounts.

It’s a really good investment.

What’s more is that if your small-scale business expands enough, you can even consider making it your full time career!

By this, I mean that you focus on running and expanding the business if its profitable enough to fulfill all your dreams.

17. Cash in Your Talents!

Have an artistic touch in you? Are you a good painter, baker, writer or something of that sort?

Why not make use of your God-given talents and make extra money on the side?

If you, let’s say, are an expert at baking cakes, you should make an Instagram and Facebook page for it, advertise, and start selling!

It can work the traditional offline way too. Just put up a huge banner with a catchy name for your home-made bakery products and see the magic!

You’ll feel more powerful than ever!

18. Sell Food

Okay so, your mom, sister or perhaps even you have enough cooking skills to feed the house. So why not feed the neighborhood as well and make money fast?

Good home-made food is pretty rare these days, so why not utilize the opportunity?

You can start small by advertising in your neighborhood and have the family support you in this for the labor.

Food sells pretty well, to be honest. Almost everywhere! You can definitely make 100 dollars a day using this method.

19. Start a Blog

Blogging takes some time to get good at. It also depends on what kind of blog you are thinking of.

Blogs are those websites that focus on articles and other forms of written content only.

These days, people use blogs for advertising, expressing their views, self-help guidelines, digital marketing, and so on.

It becomes pretty useful when you have a dedicated audience that regularly visits your posts.

So why should you invest efforts in blogging?  Let me briefly tell you why.

1. Make money from home.

Blogging can be very rewarding whenever done correctly. The top bloggers out there clearly earn quite a lot.

However even part time bloggers can hope to make decent money if done properly. The best part about blogging is that it can become a source of passive income in future for you.

2. Share your story.

With a blog, you can speak your mind to your audience and share your memories and anecdotes.

3. Recognition for yourself or your business.

Whether you are a public figure or a businessman, blogging can help you promote yourself and your business to your targeted audience.

4. Create a network.

Blogging at its heart is interactive. You compose a blog entry and people comment on it. This is an incredible method to engage with people who are keen on similar things as you are.

Blogging enables you to train these people according to your experience, and it offers you the chance to gain from your readers also.

20. Become a Fitness Coach

If you are a physically fit guy or girl, you can become a fitness coach.

People are very much conscious about their fitness nowadays and they are ready to pay a good amount of money for that!

If you think you can guide people and help them improve their fitness, you can start providing your services from a small scale and expand your business later on.

21. Walk Dogs With Rover

Just like baby sitting, pet sitting is a very profitable industry with a lot of potential.

When it comes to pet sitting, dog sitting  is by far the most popular.

Approaching people personally is a good way to get started as a dog sitter but once you get some experience, you can join Rover.com as a professional dog sitter.

Rover.com is an amazing website that connects pet owners (specifically dog owners) with pet sitters willing to work either full time or part time. (BUT you have to be 18+ to join Rover) 

On average, dog sitters make $8 to $13 an hour with rates increasing when you keep the dog overnight.

22. Become a tutor

Almost every kid struggles at one subject or another!

Are you proficient at any subject?

Do you think you can teach kids and make them understand the concepts in the best way?

Well if that’s the case, then you are missing a great opportunity of working as a private tutor.

You can teach a kid or two at their home, your home, or even online!

Private tutoring pays way more than teaching a bunch of kids and also helps you teach better in less time!

You can teach daily for about 2 to 3 hours and make a decent amount of money every month as the hourly of private tutors is about $25 to $30 (for beginner level tutors).

Other than making money, I believe teaching is a great way to gain self-confidence as it helps you really understand a subject well, and it is rewarding to watch someone learn.

You can start off from your neighborhood, relatives, and friends, and once you get some experience you would start getting clients through word of mouth marketing (referrals).

If you want to start online tutoring then join some tutoring websites like Tutor.com and Tutorhub.com.

Personally, I recommend offline tutoring as it is much more profitable and productive.
