There are literally thousands of ways to make money online. And not all of them requires special skills, extraordinary efforts, a blog or hundreds of hours of frustrating hustle.

Hence this lazy person’s guide to making money real fast if you love your couch so much and don’t feel like moving your ass off it. These aren’t just lazy money making ideas that I am talking about, these are concrete actionable methods to make money without moving away from your couch.

But most of these methods wouldn’t, unfortunately, work for India or other third world countries. I love you guys, but this method doesn’t work in our country (except for one/two).
