Sell items through online auction sites such as eBay, uBid or Webidz, a virtual shop, or set up your own website and sell products or services through it. To sell items under an hour, think of ways that you can make sales move quickly, such as setting up an auction that's less than an hour in length or offer a sale with discounted pricing that only lasts for a preset time limit that's less than an hour.

Start your own freelance contractor business and work for online clients using an incremental pay rate -- based on minutes, quarter-hours or half-hours -- or work for clients that pay a set amount for tasks that you can complete under an hour. For example, if you have a background in writing or editing, offer freelance writing services creating web content; or if you're an expert in a specific field, become an online tutor or a question-and-answer or advice specialist.

Take advantage of offers to save money on products you commonly purchase or plan to purchase new through coupon, "freebie" and free stuff sites such as Coupons.com, CouponCabin and Freecycle.org; or go to a grocery or other store sites and check for coupons and other deals. By taking advantage of money saving deals, or using coupons that you've printed online, you make money in less than an hour by keeping money you would have otherwise spent on products.

Tips & Warnings
Although many legitimate opportunities exist online, always check any site or company you decide to make money through against the Better Business Bureau records and online reviews or comments by previous users.
Always read the terms and conditions for using any site that you want to make money through to confirm your responsibilities and any financial requirements involved such as taxes, site fees, exchange fees or the cost of supplies.
Many of these methods require that you invest additional time in preparation of making money in an hour. For example, unless you have a friend willing to photograph items that you want to sell online or write and send a resume for you for a job, you will need to perform these tasks yourself.
