Earn Extra Money Working From Home, Online, Or Otherwise
If you own a car, you can make extra money by renting it out when you are not using it. Relay Rides, a new online company, provides car owners the ability to rent out their cars and get paid.
1. Register on the website for free, and a representative from Relay Rides will contact you to enroll your vehicle.
2. Relay rides will schedule a mechanic to install a special device in your car that allows renters to start it without having to obtain your keys. The device is not harmful to your car, and it can be removed without any problems.
3. Set the rental price for your vehicle, list the availability times, and where it will be available for pick up (home or work). You decide what you want to charge for renting, but Relay Rides has a basic fee structure you can use to make sure your price is reasonable.
The following table is a sample of the best pricing for your vehicle.
| Model Year | Economy | Full Size | Specialty |
| 2007 – 2010 | $8.00 per hour $64 per day |
$10.00 per hour $80 per day |
$12.00 per hour $96 per day |
| 2004 – 2006 | $7.00 per hour $56 per day |
$9.00 per hour $72 per day |
$11.00 per hour $88 per day |
| 2003 or earlier | $6.00 or less $48 per day |
$8.00 or less $64 per day |
$10.00 or less $80 per day |
| Excess miles | 40¢ per mile | 50¢ per mile | 50¢ per mile |
| (Hourly rates include 20 miles per reserved hour; daily rate capped at 160 miles per day) | |||
4. Renters will reserve and rent your vehicle during the time that you make it available.
Relay Rides does several things to make sure you don’t have to worry about your vehicle.
Your earning potential varies depending on what type of car you own, and how often you actually rent it out.
The table below shows an example of the yearly earning potential for different types of vehicles.
| Annual Profit | Hours rented per week | ||
| 10 | 20 | ||
| Type of car | Specialty (Luxury vehicle, Van, SUV, etc) | $4,000 | $8,000 |
| Full Size (Camry or equivalent) | $3,100 | $6,250 | |
| Economy (Chevy Metro, Ford Focus, etc) | $2,250 | $4,500 | |
The Relay Rides program is new, and it is currently only established in Boston, Massachusetts. The program is expanding and may be coming to your town.
You can register for the program through this link: Rent Out Your Car Through Relay Rides And Make Money
I wanted to inform everyone of the program to make you aware of the possibilities of earning extra money through various opportunities.
Please comment on this opportunity. Let me know what you think. Would you ever consider joining a program like this? I think I would, especially if I was not using my car a lot.
Guru.com allows you to browse a database of employers that need specific online projects completed. You can place a bid for projects that you have the qualifying skills to complete. This site is very similar to Elance.com.
When you choose a project you want to work on, you must place a bid that shows how much pay you expect to receive for your work. Your bid is called a proposal. Other freelancers will have the chance to submit proposals for the same projects you choose, and the employer for a given project will pick the person that has the best price and qualifications.
There are jobs available in three categories: technology, creative arts, and business. The categories include projects for writers, web developers, virtual assistants, etc.
These are just a few of the jobs posted. There are thousands of other projects that are available on the site.
The pay will really depend on what projects you sign up for, and the final accepted bid for a project. Some projects average about $1.00 to $10.00, while others range from $25.00 to $500.00. Technology and business projects tend to pay more.
The basic membership is free, but the project database is limited with free memberships. You can upgrade to other membership levels that offer more perks, but it will cost you to do so.
I have the basic membership and its fine for me. You can start with the basic and move up if you need to.
Here is the link to register for Guru.com: Make Money Completing Projects On Guru

Recently I wrote a few posts that covered getting paid to be an online juror for mock jury sites. Two sites I reviewed so far are Ejury.com and JuryTest.com. I found another site that pays you to submit online verdicts for lawyer’s test cases. The site is called OnlineVerdict.com.
OnlineVerdict is about the same as Ejury.com and JuryTest.com as far as the online jury process. The following are the steps that you will encounter once you sign up for OnlineVerdict.com:
1. Attorneys submit their cases on OnlineVerdict.com.
2. If you live within the area that a lawyer’s case is filed in, then you will receive an email from OnlineVerdict, inviting you to be a mock juror for that case.
3. If you accept the invitation, then you can log into the website, review the case, answer the questions for the case, and submit your verdict.
4. After you submit your verdict, you are paid for your time.
You must be a U.S. citizen, and you must be at least 18 years of age to join.
The pay for submitted verdicts starts at $20.00, and goes up to $60.00 per case, depending on how complex the case is. Checks are mailed out once a month to whatever address you have on file in your account.
The number of cases available for you to review will depend on the number of attorneys that have submitted cases in your area through OnlineVerdict.
The average time for completion of each case is 20 minutes to 1 hour. Less complex cases usually take about twenty minutes to complete.
You can sign up here: Be An Online Mock Juror With OnlineVerdict.com. It is completely free to sign up.
I found a new site that allows you to make extra money by accepting or completing different offers. The site is called Cash Crate. It has been around for a while, but I recently researched it to find out if people were actually making money on the site.
The feedback I found on the site was actually really good. They send out payments in a timely manner, they do pay as promised, and they have a decent reputation among consumers.
Some people report earning up to $40.00 or more on their first day of signing up. It really depends on what offers you complete, and how much time you have to spend on it.
Also, you can make more money by referring people. The affiliate earning potential is really good with this program. You will learn more about this once you sign up.
Many of these tasks, or offers, are very short and simple to complete. So, you can earn a good amount of money, within a short amount of time, without doing extensive work.
Above, I mentioned that one of the disadvantages of doing offers on Cash Crate is that some offers require you to fill out your email address. Of course, this can create spam in your email box. To alleviate this, sign up for another email address to use specifically as a junk email inbox for Cash Crate. Do not use your regular email address, unless you don’t care about extra emails in your inbox.
If you want to make extra money fast by completing offers online, then signing up with Cash Crate is a choice for you. You can try them out for free, and see how much money you can make. You only need to accumulate $10.00 in your account to be eligible for payments.
