Step 1
The first step to making extra money is to be observant of your surroundings. You need to be constantly watching for the things that people around you need and want. These can turn into great money making opportunities for you. For example, let's say you live in a neighborhood full of elderly homeowners. Now, think about what they need. More often than not, they need help with many of the tasks that homeowners perform. Lawn care, house cleaning, and basic home repair. These are examples of money making ideas that you can start on right now.

Step 2
Next, decide which of these needs you can fill. Do you have a lawn mower? Then, you can do lawn care for others. If you have simple cleaning supplies and a vacuum cleaner, you can do house cleaning. All you need are basic skills and a few hand tools to do routine home maintenance for others. Think about the possibilities and you will soon see that you have a skill that is marketable to others.

Step 3
Next, begin to offer your services to others. Print a flyer and pass it out door to door in your neighborhood. Post it on the local bulletin boards in nearby businesses. Put an ad on craigslist offering your skills for hire. In time, word of mouth advertising will ensure a continuous supply of additional ways to earn extra money with your newfound skills.
Be confident, you have the ability to promote yourself and make money with your skills and free time.
