There are things that you may never think of that can actually generate a decent amount of money. One of those is participating in psychology studies. If you live near a university, these are especially easy to find. Many studies have a need of controls, or normal healthy people, to participate. Some may be a quick 15-30 minute visit while others can take months. The compensation that you receive depends on the tasks that you have to do.
These psych studies may actually provide a dual benefit as well. For instance, I was involved in a study that paid well for non-daily smokers and offered to help them quit. It was over a 6 month period where visits were weekly at first, slowing down until the last one which was a full 3 months after the previous. Not only did I get help to quit smoking, but I got paid for it and helped research that could better our society someday.
If you do not live near a university, you can find some studies online. Those may not pay as well as the ones that require you to participate in person, but they usually do not require much more than a survey. Here is a site that has some of these types of studies. Psych Studies
