’ve been slowly winding down my farming operations due to time constraints, although that whole experiment was a fun way to make $500+ in free gift cards.
However, I recently stumbled across another peculiar money making option that anyone can start in a matter of minutes.
That idea is selling internet bandwidth for cash.
Let’s see what this money making idea is all about!
As it turns out, most online activities barely come close to maxing out your bandwidth for most residential internet plans.
Unless you’re downloading some hefty files or running many intensive applications at once, you probably have a lot of unused bandwidth at any given time…and this isn’t even considering the hours you spend asleep or out of the house.
So, a handful of companies have made it possible to sell your unused bandwidth to them (since you have a lot of it) in exchange for cash or cryptocurrency.
These companies then rent out your bandwidth and allow other users or companies to use it (through your IP address).
These companies often operate as or sell their services to VPNs, which allow users to access the internet through a different IP address/country than where they reside.
Some of these companies also use unused bandwidth as a type of CDN, which is basically a distributed network of servers that delivers content to users from an optimal geographic location, but VPNs are definitely the main player on the buy side.
The main thing to note here is with these services you are selling your internet usage to other people for their browsing behaviors.

Whats Is Bandwidth & Why Is It Sold?
According to TechTerms.com, internet bandwidth “describes the maximum data transfer rate of a network or Internet connection. It measures how much data can be sent over a specific connection in a given amount of time. For example, a gigabit Ethernet connection has a bandwidth of 1,000 Mbps, (125 megabytes per second).”As it turns out, most online activities barely come close to maxing out your bandwidth for most residential internet plans.
