8 ways for expats to make some extra money in Spain
Looking for some extra cash while living in Spain? Check out these top 8 ideas...
Moving to Spain is the dream. Waking up to the sun, sand, and sea is something most dream of, and when you make it a reality, it can seem like life will never get better. However, sometimes you may need a little extra cash to make the most out of your new life in Spain.
Whether you’re a student or a retiree, it’s always nice to have some extra money to spend on nice meals, nights out, and exciting activities in Spain. You may not want a full-time job, but luckily there are various things you can get involved in that will provide you with a bit of spending money each month.
Try one of these following things and watch your life become even better!
1. Play online poker
If you’re a seasoned poker player and frequently visited brick-and-mortar casinos back home, then you might want to use your skills for good by earning some extra cash. There are dozens of online casinos in Spain where you can play online poker and bring home some big wins in exciting tournaments.
Even if you aren’t well-versed in online poker yet, it’s an easy game to learn, and if you study the rules well, you should be able to make extra money for the things you love while picking up a new hobby. You just need to do your research on the casinos with the best welcome offers, wagering requirements, and payout times.
2. Take paid surveys
Taking paid surveys doesn’t involve a lot of thinking, but you will be rewarded with some real money that you can use to boost your overall income. It’s not necessarily something that will help you bring home the big bucks, but it offers you a little extra spending money to spend on leisurely activities while living in Spain.
The best thing to do so you can find the highest paying surveys is to browse the popular survey sites in Spain. Some of these include SaySo, Lifepoints, and Opinion Outpost. They will advertise what available surveys they have, what they pay, and how long they take to fill out so you can utilise your time.
3. Translate content
Now, this may not work for every ex-pat, but if you can, you will be able to bring in quite a bit of extra income. If you can speak both Spanish and English, you can assist local businesses in translating their native content to fluent English. The content will already be written, so it’s a fairly easy job if you know what to do.
You can find people looking for these kinds of jobs by either signing up for a freelance website such as Upwork or Fiverr. Similarly, you may be part of social media groups that target people in your area, and you can advertise your services.
4. Start a blog
Do you have a passion for writing and an exciting life to talk about? Then it might be time to start a blog! Many people start blogging as a hobby, but it’s now a great way to make some extra money. Some people even write on their blogs as a full-time job.
So, this all sounds like a lot of fun and an exciting way to earn some spending money, but how do you monetise on a blog? It may take some time to take off, but if it gains a large following, you may be able to sign up for some sponsorship deals or team up with others using affiliate marketing.
5. Walk neighbours’ dogs
If you’re an animal lover and have some time to kill, why not offer to walk your friend's and neighbours’ dogs for a small fee? You may not have a full-time job to turn to, but many other people do, and they might not have the free time to walk their furry friend. This is true, especially in the summer when they might not be free early in the morning or late at night when the sun has cooled down.
You can easily inform people about your new dog walking service with a bit of word of mouth or advertising on social media groups in your area. Once you’ve received one happy customer, there’s no doubt you’ll get more from there.
6. Sell your items
Whether you’d like to admit it or not, everyone has items they never use and never plan on using again. If you’re guilty of this, then you might want to consider setting up your own online shop to sell some objects in your house and make some extra cash.
As they say, what is one man’s junk is another man’s treasure, so you may be surprised what some people will buy from you. It’s a great way to build up your bank account quickly, and you can often choose the payment method that people use. You can also sell on Facebook Marketplace and by finding a market that you can participate in.
7. Teach English
If the translating job interests you, but you aren’t fluent in Spanish, you can still teach people how to learn English. There are various online websites where you can sign up and teach people from Spain, and other countries, how to teach your native language. They set up the lesson plans for you, so you don’t need to know the dialect they speak.
This may be an option if you want to work a little extra. If you only want to do some quick-cash methods, then teaching English isn’t for you. It can take some time, especially if you’re working with students from different time zones. You’ll have to consider these options when you think about how you want to earn more money.
8. Test websites
Like taking online surveys, you can also test new websites and see if they run smoothly. Each test lasts only 20 minutes, and you’ll be paid for your time so you can go out and treat yourself to something nice.
You’ll need to provide the person whose website it is with feedback, such as how user-friendly their website is and how well you can navigate through it. You can find clients for this work on website testing sites, or you can try to get in touch with businesses directly to offer your services.
