How to Make Extra Cash at Home

These days, everyone could use a little extra cash in their pockets. But with the cost of gas as well as responsibilities at home, acquiring a second, part-time job may be out of the question. Fortunately, there are several ways that you can make money without ever leaving your house.

Instructions

1. 

   Sell your stuff. If you clean out your closets, garage and even your kitchen cupboards you will likely find items you no longer want or need. Hold a yard sale or post your items on websites such as Craigslist or eBay.

2. 

   Get crafty. If you have a hobby, consider ways that it might help you earn extra cash. Whether you like to crochet, make jewelry or create stained glass, you can sell your wares from the comfort of home through online crafting communities such as Etsy and CraftMall..

3. 

   Feed people. Perhaps you make the best pastries in three counties or have a flair for preparing gourmet meals. If you make delicious food, you can earn extra cash by selling it. Post flyers advertising your services at coffee shops, grocery stores and other public locations. Remember to follow health department regulations for your area.

4. 

   Help others learn. You may not have a professional teaching certificate, but you can still earn money by tutoring kids, showing senior citizens how to use the Internet or instructing a neighbor about car engines. Post signs at schools, senior centers or other locations near your home.

5. 

   Let your love for small children or pets help you make extra cash. Turn your home into a safe haven for toddlers while their parents work. Maybe open a doggy daycare. You can also offer babysitting or petsitting services on an on-call basis for folks who are traveling.
