Make some money on the side

We all need to make some money on the side every now and then. If you get creative it's really not that hard to pocket a few extra bucks.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Give blood or plasma. Not only will you make some money and get a free cookie or two but you will be helping a lot of people in need. On average you make between $20-$30 donating plasma and you can do it as much as once a week.

  2. Step 2

    Have a yard sale. Sell stuff your not using. This will also help you to free up some clutter. You can use eBay and Craigslist as a way to get your extra stuff sold too.

  3. Step 3

    Provide your services. Ask around if anybody needs something done that you can do for pay. This can be basic handyman work, running errands or baby\pet sitting. Just be sure you know what you are doing before offering your services.

  4. Step 4

    Take those surveys you get on your receipts. It's free and you never know, you just may win some money! You can also sign up for some product testing or online surveys. I used Delve.com and got to taste Caesar dressing for $50.

  5. Step 5

    Be a guinea pig. Volunteer to participate in a current research study. You can Google your local area, look in the paper or listen to the radio for research going on that you may qualify to participate in.

  6. Step 6

    Write some eHow articles. Sign up at eHow.com and get started today!

on 6/18/2009 I just signed up with Delve.com - long questionnaire but feels like a serious survey group. I'll let you know how it goes.
