Things You'll Need:
- Ambition
- Desire to increase your wealth
- Creative mind
- A Newspaper
-
Step 1
Have a Garage Sale
Go through your closet, attic, garage, or grandma's house in search of items you no longer use or need. Long neglected or forgotten objects may become someone else's found treasure. These may include neglected electronics, forgotten board games, or outgrown childrens' clothes. -
Step 2
Make crafts
People go bananas for all kinds of homemade craft items. Even if you don't consider yourself "creative", you would be surprised at how many projects are actually very easy to reproduce and can wind up turning a descent buck. Use a theme, such as an upcoming holiday, for your crafts and watch them fly off the racks. -
Step 3
Bring items to Resale or Consignment Shops
If you don't have the time or space for a garage sale, consider gathering up unused, quality items and taking them to your local resale shop. Many such stores offer a fair return on your sales. After all, it isn't bringing in any money just sitting under the bed! -
Step 4
Donate Plasma
There are many blood banks that offer payment for donating your plasma up to twice a week. This is a great way to earn some extra cash and leave with a good conscience, knowing you are also saving a life! Make sure you eat a healthy snack before donating. -
Step 5
Offer to run erands
Offer to run erands for a neighbor or someone who is immobile. They will likely appreciate your help and may refer you to others needing the same service. -
Step 6
Offer house cleaning
This is a great one, because many people hate cleaning their own house. I actually did this one and although I can not stand to do daily chores at my own place, somehow knowing that I wouldn't have to watch someone else's house become dirty again, gave me a unique satisfaction. Also, you would be surprised at the prices most people are willing to pay for a good cleaning! -
Step 7
Join a affiliate program
This is one of the best ways to make money online. Here is the best affiliate program I have discovered online:

Even if you have no experience, they make it easy. They have easy to understand guides, give you your own websites, and it has the potential to bring in a steady stream of income. If you already have a blog or website, you are that much further to bringin in some extra cash. -
Step 8
Invest
One of the easiest ways to earn a little (or a LOT) of extra cash is to invest some of what you already have. It doesn't take very much to begin and you would be amazed at how fast money grows when it is compounded! This is how the rich are able to get and stay rich. Watch and participate in the stock market. Mutual funds are good choice. Be sure to diversify.
