How to Make Extra Money from Home Using Simple Videos

Want to make extra money from home? Discover how short, simple videos can become your most powerful tool in digital marketing—no fancy gear or hours of editing required.

Let’s be real. Most of us want to make extra money from home without adding more stress or tech headaches to our already full plates. And while digital marketing may sound intimidating, I promise—it doesn’t have to be.

In fact, one of the easiest and most effective ways to start making extra money from home is by creating short, raw, real videos. Yep, just you, your phone, a few honest sentences, and the courage to hit record.

Why Simple Video Works

I record mine in bite-sized clips—just a few lines I can remember at a time. (sometimes I even use sticky notes to keep me on track) Then I string those clips together using TikTok. That’s it. No fancy editors, no complicated apps. Just one platform, one message, and one story at a time.

(Yes.. You can use video editing apps, buy courses of how to use them, take time to learn, spending hours tweaking them to perfection crafting them to barbie doll perfect.. I'm just saying as a beginner to jump start making money from home you don't "need" too!)

And here’s the best part: TikTok makes it super easy to download that final video and repurpose it. You can reuse that same clip in your Facebook and Instagram Stories, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and IG Reels, or Pinterest Idea Pins. One piece of content can work hard for you in many places—saving time and making money.

The Power of Video Content

With the average person watching over 17 hours of online video content per week, and 85% of videos on Facebook watched without sound, adding captions is a game-changer. People are watching sneaking a scroll at work, or while their husband’s got the TV volume cranked up too high. They’re reading just as much as they’re watching. It’s not about perfection—it’s about connection.

There’s a trend (thank goodness) away from polished, corporate, curated content. With nary a pore showing nor a hair out of place .. These days? People want raw, real, and relatable. They’re craving authenticity. That means your ideal clients don’t want slick and filtered—they want YOU. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a woman just like me padding her retirement, or a dog mom in leggings, sharing your why on video is powerful.

You Don’t Need to Be Fancy to Be Effective

You don’t need a big audience. You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You don’t even need a perfect background. You just need to show up.

Start with these prompts:

• What made you look for ways to make extra money from home?
• What has surprised you the most about digital marketing?
• How has this journey impacted your daily life?

Small Videos, Big Impact

One little clip can go a long way. And the best part? You’re planting seeds across multiple platforms every time you post. This is how to make extra money from home in a smart, scalable way.

Here’s what I love most: My content doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be me. Because the truth is—real attracts real.

And honestly? Most people are watching from their couch, a few dirty dishes in the sink, while a toddler naps beside them or their dog snores under the table. They’re not looking for a filtered influencer. They’re looking for someone like them. Someone they can trust. Someone who’s doing the thing.

Raw, Real, Relatable short videos are the best way to create a connection, conversations and YES cash making extra money from home in your day!
