Selling
-
There is a variety of options for people that are looking to make a few extra dollars selling from home. You can start with the materials in your basement, attic or garage that you no longer want. Ask friends and family members to give you any old items that they have as well, and give them a percentage of any items of theirs you sell. Clean up the items as best you can, and make sure everything is in working order. You can sell your items weekly in garage or yard sales. You can also use online auctions to sell your items as well. If you want more to sell, then start going to estate and garage sales in your area.
Tutoring
-
If you have a strong background in an academic subject such as math or social studies, or you are proficient in a musical instrument, then you can do tutoring from your home. Put up fliers on public billboards in town and place ads in the local newspapers to attract clients. Establish a website that lists your credentials to give people a place to check out your business and determine if your qualifications are satisfactory.

Virtual Assistant
-
A virtual assistant is someone who does clerical jobs over the Internet. Companies that do not have the budget for an adequate clerical staff will often hire virtual assistants to create business letters, answer certain kinds of business emails such as product information requests and do regular updates to the company website such as changes to the website calendar or news updates. Create an introduction email and send them out to the human resources departments of companies that you would like to work for, and monitor online job placement websites for virtual assistant job opportunities.
Weekend Car Wash
-
You can create a car-wash business in your driveway using your own water supply and materials. Check with the local zoning board to make sure you can have a small car wash business in your driveway before you get started. You can take clients by appointment so there is not a line of cars blocking your street. Offer your services to friends and neighbors at first, and allow your client list to expand.
