These days, you pretty much have to have a side hustle to help make ends meet. There are a lot of scammers out there ready to take money from you instead of helping you make money. I have tried lots and lots of different options to earn extra income. The first rule for a Bruce Coffman side hustle is that it can't cost me any money. I won't invest or buy a program to try and make money. That's usually a sure sign of a scam and you've just given somebody money you'll never earn back with their program. These are the best I have found. I will only feature opportunities here that I have personally tried and actually made money from, along with warnings about ones to avoid.

You also earn by referring others. Hint, hint.
Swagbucks is pretty much my number one go-to because it offers such a wide variety of ways to earn. Like everything else, it used to be better, but you can still rack up some bucks.
I have used this one for years and made quite a bit of money from it. As a matter of fact, I earned enough one year to buy all my Christmas gifts with the PayPal payments and retail gift cards I got from Swagbucks.
There are a few basic ways to earn points (Swagbucks) which you can convert into a wide variety of gift cards or PayPal payments.
The most common are fairly short and easy surveys and completing offers. There are a wide variety of completely free offers and those are the only ones I participate in to earn points. You should never spend money when trying to earn money.
There is also cash back shopping and receipt uploading. I have absolutely no luck with the receipt uploading, but the cash back feature is freaking awesome. As of this writing, they're offering 25% cash back for Temu, my new online shopping obsession. You can either shop from the Swagbucks link or download their browser extension to enable cash back on eligible retailers websites, which includes a huge list of top name retailers.
