10 Legit Ways to Make Money From Home in 2020

1. Rent a room in your home

If you have an extra room in your home, you may choose to rent it out to make some money. You can rent it long term to a tenant or short term on Air BnB. While this is a good way to generate income, you need to take your new role as tenant seriously. If renting to a tenant, read up on local laws to understand your rights and responsibilities. If renting short term through Air BnB, be sure to make the room and the home environment as comfortable as possible to encourage good reviews and more renters.

2. Sales
