Key Takeaways

You can sell digital printables online starting on Etsy or creating an Instagram page. 

Reward platforms pay you to do simple tasks online like playing games or testing products. 

Teaching Spanish online to earn is easy if you set up a tutor profile on websites like Preply.

Earn up to $300 a month reselling items online on sites like OLX or Vinted. 

Sell Used Items Online to Locals

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Sell used or unused items$50-$300 a month1-3 days

Selling used or even unused items online to those around you locally in Spain is a great way to earn money. Residents in Spain love to find items for a good price, yet still in rather decent condition. It helps save them money, and in return, pays you

I have a few friends who live in Spain, and they would recommend using platforms like Vinted, Milanunicios or more popular, OLX. On OLX you can sell just about anything as long it is something you can resell legally (you cannot sell vape products or anything tobacco or alcohol related).

A few items I have been able to sell personally on OLX (By making money in Portugal, however Spain has similar resell platforms) have been anything from aquariums, cooking pots, tables, cars, video games, etc. It functions similar to Facebook marketplace or eBay (where you can resell things in Germany, too). 

TIP: You will run into people here and there that may try to scam you, however, so always agree on public, well-lit locations to meet, and go with a friend if they are available. 

Teach Spanish Online to Foreigners

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Teach spanish online$150-$300 a month1-2 weeks

Teaching Spanish online has a huge market and opportunity in Spain, especially if you are a certified teacher. If not, don't worry, there are plenty of third party (legit) websites where you can offer tutoring services (like Fiverr, or Preply). 

This is typically a freelancing opportunity, however, there are some part-time  and full-time teaching jobs online. They usually require you to have university level teaching experience, and you need to be holding a degree in languages or lecturing. 

A few great platforms that are popular to use in Spain you can get started on would be iTalki or Preply. These are both beginner friendly, and have a large client pool to rely on. 

Use Cashback and Referral Programs

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
cashback and referrals$10-$50 per monthsame day to 1 week

Cashback programs are usually pretty slow paced, however you can gain a decent earnings from it as a passive income. For example Wise offers a 4.7% cashback for using their platform.

I earned over $120 back last year from simply storing my savings on Wise. It may not be get-rich-quick but it definitely pays for gas or helps pay for some last minute Christmas gifts. 

Alternatively, referral programs in Spain can go pretty well, especially if you use programs for daily or popular brands like El Corte Ingles, Beruby, etc. Alternatively Freecash offers a great referral program where you can earn up to $12.50 each referral

Sell Stock Photos Online

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Sell stock photos$5-$35 per month1-2 weeks

Whether you live in Spain, or anywhere in the world, you can sell your own stock images online from multiple third party sites. It may take some time to start earning, around one week or two, but you can earn passively while keeping your images available. 

A few popular ways to sell stock photos is to post them on sites like iStock, Shutterstock, or Alamy. You can also post them on free stock sites where donations are also accepted (e.g Pexels). While you may not earn as much from free stock sites, donations are possible. 

This method will not make you super rich, but its something small that adds up over time that you could do along with making money as a photographer

Participate in Microtask and Reward Websites

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Reward sites$5-$25 an hoursame day

There are many reward sites available in Spain that are noted to be pretty decent. On rewarded platforms, you can usually get paid to play games, take surveys, sign up for products, etc. Most of the time, you don't earn much from it, but Freecash has been growing as the highest paying reward platform amongst others. 

Why is Freecash so good? At least by my experience, it has paid me more often and its much more user friendly than other options. The publishers that Freecash helps need users like you and me to test products, and in turn, we get paid for it. 

It only takes three steps, and I especially recommend it if you are looking for ways to earn in Spain. 

  1. Sign up to Freecash by using your email, Google, or even Facebook account
  2. Complete offers like playing games, taking surveys, watching videos or signing up for products. 
  3. Cashout using reliable methods like PayPal, Amazon, Google Pay or 19 other options. 

One tip that helped me start: Find offers that pay for simply leveling up, signing up for products, or once surveys are available, try those out. They usually pay quicker from my experience after being on the platform for a couple years.

Record Spanish Voice Clips

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Spanish voiceover$5-$12 per hour2-3 weeks

Maybe you are trying to make money as a student in music, or even if you have a mic set up as a gamer, this is a great opportunity to record some voice clips for gigs on platforms like Upwork or even Voices. Both have high in demand multi-lingual voice over gigs

Usually finding a gig could take a bit, around a week or so, usually showing an example or even proving your profeciency in speaking Spanish will help in this scenerio. 

Since you live in Spain, I would recommend you already speak or learn their dilect, as Spanish from Spain is different than Mexico, Cuba, and other parts of the world. This will also help niche down the gigs you're looking for. 

Sell Digital Printables

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Sell printables$50-$200 per month1 week

Digital printables like posters, artwork, or even stickers is a popoular way to earn money in Spain. Whether you selling solely online and ship, or if you want to take part in local pop up markets, you can easily earn around $200 a month.

It isn't something that will make you rich in a few days, but $200 in Spain can cover many things, including major bills, groceries, gas, etc. $200 is also just an average, I have a friend who sells printables and even she sold to me once, and I paid around $25 for a pack of 5 printables. 

The best sites to start selling your printables would be Etsy or even Facebook. I would also recommend creating an Instagram and posting your art and printables available there too. 

Keep in mind, printables need to be unique and are not copied from another source. Usually creating your own art is the best way to earn more with this method. 

Test Websites and Give Feedback

MethodAverage PayTime to First Earnings
Test websites$40-$200 per month1 week

Earn money by testing websites is pretty fun, and is noteably good for those a bit more tech-savvy. However, you don't necessarily have to be a genius, but the more you know about websites and how they operate, the more opportunity you get to earn higher rates. 

How this works is you go to a reliable website testing app like Userlytics, UserTesting or even Freecash. From there you sign up and answer a few questions about your knowledge on websites.

Based on the results, you will be offered tasks based on your skills, and get paid for testing different site features. 

Usually it can take about a week to gain enough earnigns to cashout. Unless you are using Freecash, in that case getting your first $50 payout comes easy.
