Great ways to make money on the side!!

So here is another post. I have been trying to keep up, and write these as often as possible, but lose track of time often. These next few ways to make some extra money are really creative, and some even odd – but extra money is extra money and it all adds up! So here you go:

1. Direct Selling – Not just companies like Avon and Mary Kay, but there are plenty out there for guys too. There are direct selling companies for internet acess/phone systems as well as financial products like mutual funds and anuities. These are great for selling on the side to family, friends, and co-workers.

 

2. Be a Test Subject in Research – Most of the time it is rediculous stuff, like measuring your heart rate and body temperature after eating 3 big macs, but there are all kinds of things. If you are in a town with a big university, chances are you can find a research program.

 

3. Cashcrate – CashCrate is awesome because there are so many ways to earn. Whether is is looking for businesses on google maps, doing surveys, etc. My suggestion is to set up a new email address just for surveys and ads, and fill out as many as you can! It is a great way to earn!! Go to http://www.cashcrate.com/4528180 to get $1 just for signing up!!

 

4. Work for a call center from home – Yeah, you can contract for call centers from your own living room! Companies like Teletech and Alpine Access will pay you to record customer info or to direct calls from home.

 

5. Help people sell things on craigslist – This is one of the greatest I have heard in a while. What you do is put ads on facebook, twitter, craigslist, and even flyers on street corners or stores that say you will sell peoples things on craigslist for them! Many times, people are affraid to do it themselves, so it is something you can do for them and charge commission on!

 

6. Have a car wash – One of the oldest ideas, but still a great one. It is very possible to make a couple hundred in a day just washing cars!

 

7. Mow Yards – another old, but good way to make some extra cash in your spare time. Just put a sign in your yard, or advertise online. There is lots of potential to earn!
