Because there are many reasons why you want to earn money from home work: you have small children, you live abroad or you just want to make money from home at the same time. With the advancing digitization, there are more and more jobs that can be done at home. We show you the best sources of income in home work and tell you how much you can earn with what.
1. Home work for market research institutes
One of the easiest and best ways to work from home is online surveys. You can log in to the portals for free with a few clicks and start directly with home work.

We recommend that you log in to as many market research portals as possible. Because then you get many invitations and you can choose the best paid surveys.
The practical thing about online surveys is that you can really answer them from anywhere. If you stand in the supermarket queue for 5 minutes, for example, you can use the time to answer surveys. Similarly, you can conveniently use the commercial break at home in front of the TV to earn a few euros in 5 minutes.
