Write articles

This is the easiest way to make money on your lunch break.

Honestly speaking, you can write articles while munching sandwiches and drinking coffee. There are lots of websites looking for freelance writers. You can sign up with those websites and get paid for writing articles.

You can do the research work and write articles while sipping coffee in the pantry without disturbing anyone. That is the beauty of this online job.

Let’s crunch the numbers.

Type   Per word
Fiction 20¢-25¢
Technical      45¢-55¢
Ghostwriting 26¢-50¢
Public relation          30¢-95¢
Believe me, many people have given up their jobs to be a full-fledged freelance writer. The money is so good. You can use it to settle credit card debts, pay medical bills, build your emergency fund, plan your dream vacation on an exotic island, make investments, etc.

If you’re in debt, then use the extra money earned from the side gig to settle your debts because that is hurting your precious credit score. If you don’t have any debts, then use a big portion of the money to build your emergency fund and nest-egg. The funds will help you a lot during troubled times.

 

Participate in surveys

Your opinions matter, and that’s why you can get paid for sharing your views.

Feeling like you’re on cloud nine? Well, you should feel like that.

You can participate in online surveys to make money on your lunch break. Several websites pay you for participating in surveys. And, the best part is, it takes only a minute to complete the survey.

It’s a great way to make money while enjoying a sumptuous meal during your lunch break. Just remember one fact. The income potential from surveys is a lot less than other online jobs.

Download a few apps on your smartphones like Swagbucks and Vindale Research. Open them during your lunch break and see if online surveys are available. Most surveys will mention the approximate time you’ll get to complete the survey. So, you would have a good idea of how much time you need to give for completing the survey.

GDo you have any idea that you can get paid for testing websites? Yes. It’s true.

Plenty of websites are there, which pay you for testing websites and giving your valuable feedback. Check the website, report bugs, and get paid. Usually, you can expect to earn up to $10 or more per test.

The payment usually depends on the type of assignment you’re working for. I’m not saying that you’ll be a millionaire by testing websites. But this much is sure that you’ll earn money.

Some tests will take almost 20-30 minutes, which is a perfect side gig for a lunch break. You may have to record yourself testing the website and express your views. So, try to find a quiet place where you can do it. Also, arrange a microphone in advance. You may need it.

Research online

Not many people know that people can earn money by doing online research. But this is actually true. You can earn dollars for browsing the Internet and doing online research.

There are plenty of websites that give you the chance of researching online. Just grab the opportunity and start making money during your 60-minute lunch break.

Be a mystery shopperive feedback on websites
Ever thought you can earn for shopping instead of splurging? Yes. You can earn money by shopping during your lunch break.

The catch is you have to be a mystery shopper. The amount of money you can earn by being a mystery shopper depends on where you work.

I mean if you work in a residential area, then obviously your scope of working as a mystery shopper is extremely limited. However, if there are lots of stores around your office, then your scope of earning money is huge.

But you have to complete everything within your lunch break. Usually, it doesn’t take too long. So, you should be fine.
 

Do small tasks online

It’s possible to make money by doing small tasks online. You can do data validation, content moderation, and many other things.

You won’t earn in thousands probably. But you’ll earn money. Plus, the tasks are really small. Anyone can do them quickly.

All you need is a good Internet connection. I think you have it already on your smartphone.

Sign up with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Once you log in, you’ll find that there are loads of small tasks available for you. Just select the tasks and complete them one by one.

Believe me, some tasks are as simple as downloading apps or watching videos. Did you ever imagine that you could earn money just for watching videos? I bet you have never thought about it.
