Making money online is a practical way to create passive income, bolster your savings and pursue self-employment. But how do you go about turning your computer and Internet connection into a way to earn money? Do you even need the Internet to make money at home? (Spoiler alert: the answer is no.)
NerdWallet has gathered 18 ways to make money online and offline in Canada — plus, what you need to know before you begin and how to tell the no-so-great opportunities from the legitimate ones.
3 ways to make money: No expertise or experience required
It’s possible to make money from home in Canada with nothing more than an Internet connection and a mobile device. Here are 3 ways to make money online from home in Canada — no expertise needed.
1. Sell collectibles
Kijiji, eBay and Facebook accounts are free, and you can use these marketplaces to sell collectibles. How well your collectibles sell depends on their overall condition, rarity and marketplace demand. You can also sell to fellow collectors through Facebook groups. Before listing, research the market (don’t just look at the asking price, but what similar items sold for). Covering shipping costs may expand your market, but know your costs to avoid losing money.
Age threshold. You must be at least 18 years old to create seller accounts on eBay and Facebook Marketplace. Kijiji allows users to post ads on their own once they’re at least 16 years old. With permission, you may sell collectibles if you don’t meet these age thresholds by posting items under the account of an adult you trust.
Setup. 24 hours.
Starting cost. It’s free to open accounts on eBay, Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace. Posting items for sale may cost money, depending on the platform and how many posts you create:
- eBay. You can post up to 250 listings for free before eBay charges an insertion fee for additional ads. Insertion fees vary by product category.
- Kijiji. Depending on the selling category, you can post five to 23 free service ads at a time. After that, expect to pay a flat-rate listing fee per additional ad.
- Facebook Marketplace. There are no listing fees for posting items on Facebook Marketplace, though a fee is automatically deducted when an item sells.
How easy is it to start? Easy. All you need is an Internet connection and enough tech savvy to take photos of your wares and post them to online marketplaces.
- You can create posts in online marketplaces in just a few minutes, but it may take days — even weeks — to sell an item, depending on its condition, price and overall demand for the product.
- Expect some back and forth with potential buyers who want to haggle prices or arrange for shipping or pickup.
How fast you’re paid depends on the platform and how to opt to receive payment:
- Electronic funds transfer.
- Interac e-Transfer.
- Wire transfer.
- Cheque.
- Cash.
Keep yourself safe from scams and fraudulent activity by adhering to online marketplace safety guidelines. If meeting in person to complete a sale, meet in a public place. Alert friends and family to your whereabouts before you leave home or bring a trusted person with you.
Collectibles, a camera, and a seller’s account on Kijiji, Amazon Marketplace, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist or similar sites.
2. Recycle your clothes
Instead of collecting dust, your gently used garments could be turned into extra cash. Online consignment and resale companies like Poshmark and Vestiaire Collective and Depop are typically free to use. Just create an account, and send in or list your clothing. Each site works differently, but you’ll generally earn a commission on the items that sell.
Age threshold. 18 — although those as young as 13 may be able to sell on some consignment websites with the help of a parent or guardian.
Set up. It may take a day or two to create an account, identify clothing items you want to sell, and put together listings.
Starting cost. It’s often free to create an account and list items on online consignment and resale platforms.
How easy is it to start? Easy enough, though it may be time-consuming to sort and list clothing items, depending on how much you have to sell.
Once a listing is live, it typically needs little to no oversight. Depending on the item of clothing, it may take weeks, even months, for items to sell.
Expect for funds to be released after the item you’ve sold is delivered to the buyer. Payment options include:
- Electronic funds transfer.
- PayPal.
Some consignment platforms have a social media component. To boost the visibility of your listings, you may need to spend some time promoting them on your platform of choice.
Brand name or vintage clothing in good condition, an Internet connection, the ability to ship clothing or bring it to a physical location, and patience (sometimes it takes a while for things to sell).
3. Offer a room on Airbnb or VRBO
Depending on the regulations in your area, you could offer a room in your home as a short-term rental on sites like Airbnb or VRBO. Airbnb takes a 3% fee from every booking, while VRBO takes 5% as commission and 3% for payment processing. Listing a space involves uploading numerous photos of the property alongside a detailed description, and any house rules guests are expected to follow. When setting your rate, you’ll need to account for utility expenses, repairs, maintenance, cleaning, and insurance.
Age threshold. 18.
Set up. 1 – 2 hours to take photos of the space and create an online listing.
Starting cost. Little to nothing if you already own or have access to a property. You don’t need to own a property to list on Airbnb — tenants are permitted to list and host a property they rent on Airbnb’s platform but typically need permission from their landlord.
How easy is it to start? Easy — if you already own a property.
It depends on how often you rent out your space. Cleaning between guests may be time-consuming, depending on the size of the property, though you can contract this job out to a cleaning company.
Expect to receive payment one to seven business days after the first day your guests check in. Payment options include:
- Electronic funds transfer.
- PayPal.
- Payoneer.
- Prepaid Debit Mastercard.
- Wire transfer.
- Western Union.
Both Airbnb and VRBO offer host liability insurance, but you’re welcome to purchase additional vacation rental property insurance for added peace of mind. Some provinces, regions, towns or cities may require that you purchase a business license or special permit to rent out part of all of your property.
A room for short-term rental with enough time to maintain it and provide amenities. Proper licenses and insurance, as required.
6 ways to make money online with full-time work potential
Looking for a money-making method with big earning potential? These six side hustles could feasibly be done on a full-time basis.
1. Pick up freelance work
Upwork, Workmarket, Fiverr, Freelancer.ca, Indeed, LinkedIn and similar job sites list opportunities for freelance writers, editors, graphic designers, web designers, coders and other creatives with skills that can be performed online. Sites like these will generally ask you to create an account to browse listings and bid or apply for the freelance job you want.
Age threshold. At least 16 to 18 years old, depending on the freelancing platform.
Set up. A day or two. You’ll need to set up an online profile and may need to wait while your profile is verified.
Starting cost. It’s often free to create an account and respond to job postings.
How easy is it to start? Expertise in the skills or services offered is preferred. It may take time to set up your freelancing profile, depending on the type of work you pursue. Some clients like to see examples of your previous work, which means you may need to put together a sample portfolio before you can apply for gigs.
You may be able to get a gig the same day you sign up, but it often takes a few weeks to establish regular work. If you can get the work, you can put in as many hours as you’d like.
Expect to be paid two to five business days after completing a job. Some platforms have clearing periods for client-deposited funds that may extend the timeline for getting paid. Payment options include:
- Electronic funds transfer.
- Paypal.
To freelance in Canada, you need a Social Insurance Number.
Most freelancer listing sites have a minimum age: Fiverr (13), Upwork (18), Workmarket (18), Freelancer.ca (16), and LinkedIn (16 to use the site and 18 to offer services for a job).
2. Become a dropshipper
Dropshipping is like print-on-demand, but instead of selling designs, you sell goods. However, you don’t physically stock anything. Instead, you partner with a reputable wholesaler to process and send orders. How much you can make as a dropshipper varies widely depending on your products, market, and marketing efforts. Profit margins are usually low, but if you focus on selling something unique, and partner with an established brand or distributor who sells quality products as advertised (rather than cheap imitations), you may find success. Popular dropshipping suppliers include AliExpress, Sprocket, Alibaba and Gelato, among others.
Age threshold. 18. Dropshipping often requires partnering with an e-commerce platform to process customer orders and payments. These platforms typically require merchants to be at least 18 years old.
Set up. Weeks. There are numerous decisions you’ll need to make about your wares, target demographics and selling channels before you can get started.
Starting cost. Initial costs can be high. Expect to spend a few hundred dollars on the low end — possibly thousands on the high end.
How easy is it to start? Challenging. The learning curve for this side hustle can be quite steep.
Expect to put in at least a few hours of work each week while your business gets off the ground. Once you’re up and running, you can sell goods for as long as you choose.
Numerous e-commerce sites pay merchants on a set schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, etc.), though you can often initiate one-time payments outside this schedule. The most common way to get paid for dropshipping is by electronic funds transfer.
Dropshipping can be highly competitive. Plus, having a third-party handle order fulfillment and shipping means there are components of the selling process you’ll have no control over, like supply chain mix-ups and shipping delays.
Online storefront, affiliations with reputable brand wholesalers/distributors and an online advertising budget.
3. Become a virtual assistant
Do you consider yourself a jack of all trades? Excel at multitasking? Do you get a special thrill out of helping others get organized and complete their to-do lists? The life of a virtual assistant might be right for you. By signing up on websites like Upwork, Virtual Assistant Canada and Virtual Gurus, you can earn money helping clients tackle a variety of tasks while setting your own hours and working from just about anywhere.
Age threshold. You typically must be at least 16 to 18 years old, depending on the platform.
Set up. A day or two. You’ll need to set up an online profile and in some cases, wait while your profile is verified.
Starting cost. It’s often free to create accounts on freelancing sites.
How easy is it to start? Setting up your online profile may only take an hour or two, but potential clients may want to schedule an interview before they agree to hire you. You may need to prove previous professional experience and post-secondary education. You may also be asked to pass various skill set tests.
It may take a week or two to find clients you click with. The number of hours you work will depend on the client.
Payments are typically rendered through electronic funds transfer or Paypal. How fast you’re paid depends on the platform. Some platforms let you request payment as soon as a job is complete. Others pay for logged hours on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.
Set clear parameters with clients around established working hours and tasks you’re equipped to handle to avoid misrepresenting your availability and skill set.
Phone and computer/Internet access, be based in Canada, and be available during business hours.
4. Open up an Etsy store
If you enjoy crafting in your downtime, consider selling your creations on Etsy. There’s strong demand for handmade wares, and you can sell just about anything on Etsy, so long as it’s handmade or vintage.
Age threshold. 18.
Set up. You may be able to create an account in a matter of minutes, but putting together your Etsy storefront could take days — even weeks, depending on how many listings you want to create.
Starting cost. Opening an Etsy shop is free, but you’re responsible for all costs associated with creating or obtaining your wares.
How easy is it to start? Easy, given you know what you want to sell and have some practice making it. Your items may have better odds of selling if they’re of high-quality make and design.
Once your online store is set up, it may take some time before orders start to come in.
How fast you’re paid depends on how long it takes you to make a sale and the payment schedule you set up. Etsy sellers typically receive payment by electronic funds transfer.
Your customers can rate your wares and storefront based on their shopping experience and their overall satisfaction with what they’ve purchased. These ratings can have a big impact on the overall success of your Etsy endeavour.
Handmade or vintage items you’d like to sell and a mobile device with an Internet connection.
5. Become a translator
If you’re fluent in multiple languages — or studied a foreign language in post-secondary school — you may be able to cash in by doing translation work online. Sites like Upwork, Gengo, Pro Translating, LanguageLine Solutions and Languages Unlimited are often looking for interpreters and translators. Depending on the company you apply with, the work could be full-time, freelance or on a per-job basis.
Total time.
Age threshold. Typically 18.
Set up. One to two days. You’ll need to set up an online profile and in some cases, take qualification tests and have your profile verified.
Starting cost. It’s often free to create an account on translation platforms.
How easy is it to start? Easy, if you’re bilingual. Previous experience as a translator may not be necessary, but you must be fluent in at least two languages.
Expect to spend a couple of weeks establishing regular work.
Some platforms let you request payment as soon as a job is complete. Others pay contractors on a set schedule. Payment options typically include:
- Electronic funds transfer.
- PayPal.
- Payoneer.
You may need to provide samples of your translation work, or pass a reading and writing proficiency test.
Bilingualism, an Internet connection, a computer and perhaps headphones or recording equipment.
6. Sell your artwork using print-on-demand sites
If you’re artistically inclined, print-on-demand sites are a way to put your designs on t-shirts, mugs, posters, smartphone cases and more without handling inventory or shipping yourself. Sites like RedBubble, Printful, Teehatch, Art of Where, Ottawa Custom Clothing, and Printify are just a few of the print-on-demand options available in Canada. When someone orders your product, the site facilitates printing, payment processing and shipping. As the artist, you’ll receive a portion of the profit each time you sell an item.
Age threshold. At least 18 for many print-on-demand sites — although Redbubble allows users 16 and older to sell their art.
Set up. 1 – 2 hours.
Starting cost. Nothing. Many print-on-demand sites let you open an account and post your designs for free.
How easy is it to start? Easy, so long as you have digital files of your artwork ready to go. If you run into trouble uploading your designs, you may be able to find video tutorials of the process to help you get started.
It may take weeks or months before you start receiving orders.
Some print-on-demand platforms require you to hit a specific earning threshold before you can withdraw funds. Others pay out artist commissions on a set schedule. Payment options typically include:
- Electronic funds transfer.
- Paypal.
Some print-on-demand sites deduct the cost of order fulfillment and shipping, then send artists their cut of the sale. Others require artists to collect funds from customer orders, then pay the print-on-demand platform for the cost of printing and shipping the items. When dealing with the latter, you may need to add a credit card to your file to pay for order fulfillment costs.
Along with a minimum age (unless given permission by a parent or guardian if you’re between 18 and 13) print-on-demand sites typically require a minimum pixel count and that your design does not infringe any copyright.

The amount you’ll make per lesson or per hour will vary depending on which service you choose to use.

In exchange for up to an hour of your time, you’ll receive cash or points that can be redeemed for gift cards. The pay range can be anywhere from $0.50 to $10 per survey.

3. Clean houses
This side hustle requires a little more time and elbow grease, but there’s plenty of earning potential here if you’re up to the task.

6. Sell stuff you don’t need at a garage sale

Are You a Newcomer to Canada? Watch Out For These Scams
Canada has a reputation for welcoming newcomers, but new arrivals still need to be on the lookout for scams that target them, including phone scams, e-transfer scams and apartment rental scams.
