5 Ways to Make Extra Money While You're At Your Full-Time Job

Because apparently working full-time just means you're always working, but still broke. Rent’s up, groceries cost more than your car, and your paycheck barely makes eye contact with your bills.

If you’re already glued to your desk, might as well make your 9–5 pull double duty. These aren’t side hustles that need extra hours and you can do them while your manager is “circle back”-ing for the fifth time today.

Here are five ways to quietly make some extra cash while pretending to care about the next team meeting.

1. Earn up to $80/win with this popular game

Sounds nuts, obviously, but the idea of playing cash solitaire as a side gig has been around for years, and can be surprisingly lucrative (if you’re good enough, anyway).

The whole thing revolves around Solitaire Cash (a free iOS game).

The game itself is really simple: You play solitaire head-to-head against another real person. Whoever solves their deck the fastest wins real cash.

If you can get good at the game, it can be surprisingly lucrative: typically up to $80/game for the winner. Each game takes ~2 minutes, in my experience.

2. Get this company to pay off your credit card debt

Drowning in debt can feel overwhelming - and ignoring it only makes things worse. The longer it’s pushed aside, the harder it becomes to get back on track. But there is a way to start fixing it for good.

For anyone with over $10,000 in debt from credit cards, medical bills, or personal loans, National Debt Relief could help roll everything into one affordable monthly payment.

There’s no upfront cost, and many people become debt-free in as little as 24-48 months. It takes less than a minute to check eligibility. Use this calculator to see how much you could save, answer a few questions and they’ll assess whether they can help.

3. Win up to $80/game playing bingo on your phone

Scrolling for fun is one thing. But playing games and getting paid for it? That hits different. It might sound odd at first, but Bingo Cash is a legit way to win real money just by playing on your phone.

You won’t win every time, but you can win actual cash when you do win. It’s perfect for anyone looking to make a little extra on the side without putting in much effort. If you’re going to game anyway, might as well get something out of it.

Just download the app (it’s free), join matches against players at your same skill level, and start playing. No annoying ads, and you can cash out with PayPal, Apple Pay, or straight to your bank.

Try Bingo Cash and get paid to play.

4. Save big on your car insurance

Believe it or not, the average American family still overspends by $1,000/year on car insurance.

(Sometimes it’s significantly more: I saved $1,300/year when I switched)

Here’s how to quickly see how much you’re being overcharged (takes maybe 30 seconds):

• Pull up Insurify – it’s a free site that will compare prices for you

• Answer the questions on the page

• It’ll spit out a bunch of insurance quotes for you

That’s literally it. You’ll likely save yourself a bunch of money.

5. Stop paying your credit card company

If you’re stuck with credit card debt, you feel it. The high interest, the endless payments, the sinking feeling that you’re never getting ahead.

And let’s be honest—your credit card company isn’t on your side. It’s making a fortune off you with interest rates that can hit 36%.

So how do you get out of it? If you owe less than $100k, you can likely pay it off in one fell swoop using a debt consolidation loan.

Here’s how it works:

• Use a site like AmOne to look at consolidation options (many loans offer far, far lower interest rates than your credit card company does)

• Pick one that works for you

• Use that loan to pay off your credit cards

• Then, slowly pay off the debt consolidation loan over time

The upside: you’ll have just one monthly payment. And because personal loans typically come with lower rates (AmOne lenders offer options as low as 6.40% APR), you’ll get out of debt sooner. Plus, no credit card bill this month.

It takes less than 2 minutes to compare your options. No Social Security number required, just a real phone number (but don’t worry—they won’t spam you), and it won’t affect your credit score.

6. People are earning up to $350 just for testing games

If you’re already playing games on your phone, you might as well get paid to do it. Game testing on Freecash is one of the easiest ways to earn extra money - no experience needed.

It’s simple: try out new games, complete tasks as you play, and get paid. Some testers make up to $350 just for checking out games in their free time. No gimmicks, no weird hoops to jump through - just real payouts for your time.

You don’t need to commit to anything long-term. Just pick the games you want to test, play for a bit, and cash out when you’re ready. Payments are fast and can go straight to PayPal, crypto, or gift cards.
