Make Extra Money

There are number of ways that you can make extra money on the side.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • patience
  • hard work
  • creativity
  • determination
  1. Step 1

    A quick way to make money is to write articles on eHow.

  2. Step 2

    Sell your unwanted items on eBay. It can help you make a couple of hundred dolars selling clothes, textbooks, and whatever is lying in the house. It can reduce the clutter and add some money in your pocket. Another person's trash is another person's treasure.

  3. Step 3

    Have a garage or yard sale.

  4. Step 4

    Have an extra job in tutoring, babysitting, or anything that interest you.

  5. Step 5

    Save money and invest it in a high yield savings account or in a high yield CD account.

  6. Step 6

    Don't make any impulse purchases or reduce spending. Impulse buying will lower your future income. Don't buy wants but focus on what you need. Packing lunch can help you save money. A penny saved is a penny earned.

  7. Step 7

    Loose change. Empty the change out of your pocket and into your piggybank at the end of the day. Do that every day until the piggy bank is full. When it's full separate your change into pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and put them in coin wrappers. Take the money to bank and deposit it into your account instead of exchanging it for cash and spending it.

  8. Step 8

    Sign up at slicethepie.com. If you love listening to music go to this website. The reward is that they pay you for listening to their music. The cash out for US citizens is $10.00. All you need is a paypal account.
