Are you looking for relatively easy ways to make a few bucks? Aren't we all? Are the gas prices eating into your spending money? Just consider some of these ideas and get your creative juices flowing!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • creativity
  • a little time
  • internet connection
  1. Step 1

    Consider how much time you have to devote to making money? Is it every weekend --nights and holiday-- a few hours each day after work? This is an important step in determining how you can make money.

  2. Step 2

    If it is weekends you have to make money, consider having a garage sale and or lemonade/koolaide/ or coke stand with it. You could also hold a car wash. You could get the whole family involved or just send out the kids to rake leaves, pick up aluminum cans or clean cars inside and out for neighbors or people at church.

  3. Step 3

    If you can devote more time to making money, offer to give computer lessons to anyone over the age of 40. Offer to set up their ipod, cell phone, computer--anything electronic--for people who are confused! Cleaning houses or offices at night can make $20-30 an hour.

  4. Step 4

    Tutor students home for summer. Teach swimming lessons, cooking lessons, barbecue lessons. Put your services on Craigslist--it's free. Write for eHow. It has turned into a very lucrative part-time job for me!

Tips & Warnings
  • Brainstorm with friends
  • Ask everyone you know what they would be willing to pay for some skill you have.
  • The sky is the limit!
  • Don't give up!

on 9/11/2008 I have had two last-minute yard sales in the past 2 months. We did good for the first one and great for the second one. Everyone has stuff that they dont want/need anymore. TRUST ME someone else wants it. I sold one item for 90 bucks. And i aquired the item for free. I just didnt put a price on it and they offered me 80 and i said 100, and then we met in the middle. The couple across the street bought our two chairs that we were getting tired of. It was wonderful.
All you do is get the stuff together the night before, wake up early and post signs and go set the stuff out.
