1: Create playlists for different gatherings

The first way that you can make $100 from your couch is by simply creating different playlists. Yes, people need help picking the best music for all sorts of situations, everything from weddings to baby showers and simply birthday parties. People are looking for assistance, and you could be that person that puts together playlists and simply sell them.

You can sell them for anywhere between $50 to $100, and you could actually patent these playlists and create social media accounts to promote them.

You can use websites like Spotify or even Apple Music to help put these playlists together. It’s essentially something that everybody has, but how cool would it be if you made money just creating playlists and selling them to people? The best part is you could actually create one playlist and sell it again and again and again.

For example, let’s say you had a wedding playlist that featured all country music. You could sell that to people that have a country music-themed wedding, and it would be a great way to essentially make money.

2: Voice acting for video games

Has anyone ever told you that you have a great face or voice for radio? If the answer is yes, you can actually take that voice and become a voice actor for video games.

The great thing is there are all sorts of video games that come out every single year—the big blockbusters that everyone knows about and indie games where it’s obscure, and there’s only a few people that are aware of them, but they still build a cult following. So basically, what you’re going to need to do is you’re going to need to put together a demo or reel of your voice.

If you can do multiple voices, high pitches and low pitches, you’re simply going to put that together in a reel and you can promote it by working directly with game developers. You could even use something like Fiverr as well or find other voice acting platforms. The cool thing with this opportunity is you could get paid up to $200 per hour as a voice actor. Another option might be royalties on the back end depending on how large of a following that game company or game developer has.

3: Online tarot or astrology readings

Do you guys remember Miss Cleo (rest in peace) where she’d come on late at night and people would call her and she would give psychic readings? You essentially could do the same thing over the internet.

The process is actually really simple. You’re going to create content on social media potentially reading the tarot cards for celebrities. Maybe you pick a niche of TV stars, and then you’re going to build out a website where people can come to have personalized tarot card readings.

You could charge as much as $200 per hour to read tarot cards for your customers. How cool would it be if you turned your mystical skills into a lucrative side hustle?

4: Virtual event planning

How cool would it be if you could plan amazing events from the comfort of your own couch? Basically, with virtual event planning, you’re going to plan things from home, everything from weddings to funerals, bar mitzvahs, graduations—all of these are different opportunities that you could plan for other people and you don’t even have to leave the house.

To get started, you could actually use event planning software to help you plan and organize. You can use screen share and even Zoom to meet with potential clients.

The great news about bringing people together is you can make $500 per event. As you get more knowledge, skills, and experience, you could actually command a little bit more.

How fun would it be to sit at home, plan parties for other people, and get paid for it?

5: Custom video messager

Number five is offering custom video messages. You can actually get paid to brighten someone’s day with a simple video message. This works well if you look like a popular actor or movie star, like Michael Jackson or Prince.

Basically, what you could do is you could create content on social media as that person, Prince for example, and people would reach out to you to have custom video messages made. You could even build out a website and direct people directly to that website where you have them pay, obviously, and enter in the custom message they want. If you are into cosplay, this actually works out for you as well.

To get started with this, you could simply just record stuff with your phone, and as you start making money, you can reinvest in better software, better lighting, and even a better camera to provide a better overall experience. If you’re brand new with this, you could charge $10 to $15 per video, but as you get more knowledge, skills, and experience, and you get a better camera, you could charge $100 for simply sending someone some positive vibes over the internet.

How much fun would it be if you could make someone’s day and get paid for it with a simple video message?

6: Online language coaching

How cool would it be if you simply got paid sharing the language skills that you already have? Whether you attained them through high school or you grew up learning this language as a first or second language, you can simply make money.

The great thing is people want to learn languages for all sorts of reasons: to get better with their coursework, maybe they’re traveling to a different country, or simply they are in a relationship with someone that speaks a different language and they want to build a closer connection.

There are tons of people out there that are looking to learn a language for a variety of reasons, and they’re willing to pay for it.
