Sometimes, no matter how frugal you are you need a quick influx of cash to carry you through a hard time Ideas For Making Money
1. Pawn Your Stuff-Do you really need that gold bracelet? Gold prices are at an all time high, it is a very good time to pawn that gold jewelry you don't really need.
2. eBay- While it is, in most parts of the country, still too chilly for a good turn out at a garage sale consider getting rid of the stuf you don;t need on eBay. Youw ill clean out those closets and drawers and Make money on the same time.
3. Clean a house- lots of people need someone to come in and clean their house, and really it is a simple task most of the time. Be sure and check it out before you commit to a price, and be sure that your price is competitive with others in your area. In my area you can easily make 300 or more a week cleaning houses a few hours a day.
4. Yard work- if you have a tiller and some simple yard tools you can trim bushes and branches or till up someone's garden.
5.Organize for someone- If you are a good organizer people will pay for you to organize their home, or a room.
6. Personal chef- Can you cook? A personal chef grocery shops for people and then cooks several meals in their home, freezing them for the customer to thaw and heat at some later time.
7. Walk Dogs- depending on where you live people hire people to walk their dogs for up to $10 an hour. You can also pet sit when people go out of town.
8. Teach something- do you know how to knit, spin, play piano? Consider tutoring someone else in this ability.
9. Paint someone's house- paint a room for someone, or if you know how to do faux finishes there is quite a demand for faux finishing and stenciling.
10. Sell your old books and dvd's on half.com
11.Dumpster Dive- seriously, I have had some cool finds. One man's trash is another's treasure! I once found vintage magazines that sold for 100.00 on eBay. Check the laws in your community, although it is legal in most areas.
12. If you have a blog do a few Pay For Post advertisements. Youc an make 100.00 a month pretty easily reviewing things on your blogs.
13. Run errands for people- everyone is busy. Advertise yourself as an erand person...take people's cars to have the oil changed, grocery shop, take their dog to the groomers.
14.Sell baked goods, birthday cakes and such. Check local health laws.
15. Chop firewood for people
16. Better yet, advertise to haul away trees that have fallen for a nominal fee, and chopp them up and sell the fire wood.
