This effort takes a lot of focus, dedication and hard work. If you're satisfied with your full-time efforts, but would like to make a little extra cash on the side, consider these five ways to make money online.

1. Become a content creator.

If you're an expert in an area with information people find valuable, share it online and monetize it. Starting an informative blog or website is one option. Once the blog is set-up, sell ad space to earn income. If you enjoy writing, create an ebook and sell it with one of the major e-book retailers online. Become a freelance writer and pitch stories to different blogs and online news outlets. If the idea of being on camera sounds exciting, pull out the camera and begin recording videos for YouTube. Indicate that you'd like to monetize the videos and earn a little extra on the side.

2. Start an ecommerce store.

It doesn't need to be a large e-commerce store, but you can utilize the power of drop-shipping to sell merchandise without actually storing it. You can also sell items online through Amazon FBA or eBay. Visit the local thrift stores and find quality products at a discount. Price it in such a way that makes it profitable.

3. Share affiliate links.

Many retailers will financially reward customers who share affiliate links. For example, Amazon has an affiliate program. Once you sign up to become an Amazon affiliate, use your blog, social media platforms or word of mouth to share a raving review of the product. Share the affiliate link along with the review. If people purchase the product, you'll earn a percentage of the profit. Even though it might be a small percentage, those numbers add up over a period of time and can easily equate to a solid side income stream.

4. Fill out surveys.

Sign up with some of the popular survey sites online. Once you've signed up and created a profile, the survey companies will send email notifications with good surveys for you to fill out. The income from filling out a survey can range from $1-$20. Once it's done consistently, you'll be able to get more survey opportunities which equates to more money.

5. Join a network marketing company.

Mary Kay, Stella & Dot and It Works! are all network marketing company where sellers use the power of social media to market their products. Choose to sell in an area you're most passionate about. There are many network marketing companies in different markets like health and wellness, clothing, beauty and jewelry.
