Ways to make extra money
I've been getting an increase in the number of emails from people asking about ways to make extra money and felt it would be a good discussion area here. Making additional income is as legitimate a way to help with personal finances as saving money and I'm sure that the members here have a lot of experience to share with those that are looking to supplement their current income. Feel free to start new threads on ways that you have made extra money in the past or ideas that you have heard about how others make money. Here are some suggestions:

Selling something you own: furniture, electronics, children's clothing and toys, cars, power equipment. Try ebay, craigslist, consignment stores/sales, garage sales.

I can not tell ways to make extra money. But, I can tell one way to make money is farming/agriculture(growing everyday necessary food items). As america has vast land, farming is the best thing to do in bad times and good times. If there is a good planning and willingness to work hard combined with the knowledge on farming and finance(how much of your money and others' money to put in agriculter at the beginnning), it is better than doing any other business. I think farming/agriculture is best because people need it at least 2 times to 3 times everyday. If a product or service of business is essential to consumers, you can easily earn money. You may earn very good return on money more than any return you get doing any other business. Of course, i never did farming. But, somebody told me. With vast land in america, you can even export the food to brazil, russia, china , africa, asia and india in future!!! Think about it.

Very nice informations on making money extra. I too have a few thoughts on this topic -
Blogging: This isn't quick money, but you can make decent money with a little luck and a few months of solid, consistent effort. Believe me, it can be tough and a bit time-consuming, but it can be done. Sell bottled water : Buy bottled water in bulk and sell it for a dollar where there are a ton of people -- parks, festivals, concerts, etc. Sell your baked goods: Are you skilled at a few special recipes? Contract your items out for parties, meetings, etc. ___________________ Expense management

a much needed thread. Thanks Jeff.
Welcome Jamie!! Blogging and freelance writing is really good place to start if you know what you are talking. I been doing it for past 2 years and make good extra money. I know many people here do the same as well. Website building - I do freelance jobs building websites for friends and neighbors and any word of mouth business for cheap. Craiglist - I always sell/buy stuff from it. Recently, I am getting rid of stuff which we don't need anymore. I even tried vending machine business and it worked out but I couldn't continue because of personal commitments. Currently, I am working on my CFP course and plan to expand my horizon as planner later if I get to finish it. My recommendation, always start with what you know and have passion to develop. Don't just jump in anything which you can get hands on.

Blogging is definitely a good way to make money. My Wife has a coupon blog, couponers united on blogger, where she is making about $600 per month by posting coupone deals that people can use to save up to 90% on their grocery bills.

EARNest Endeavors...
There are a number of ways to earn extra income and the full list would be far too lengthy to post in any one thread. In short you either work for yourself or you work for an employer. The choices for the entrepreneur would be to sell products, services or a combination of the two. Whatever the industry, it is important to find a need and fill it. It's not necessarily important that you are the first to do something but paramount importance is to be the best at what you do.
I worked part-time at a Walgreens Pharmacy in the photo dept for three years in addition to my full-time employment. I loved it ... but between paying taxes per pay, taxes at year end, paying for gas, buying lunches or dinners, and just the time away from home it wasn't worth continuing to keep the part time job. I recently quit and while I am writing this on a Saturday night at 5:15 pm, I would normally be at the store earning around $8 for a 6 hour shift. The take home (after expenses) would be around the same amount of money that a 7 year old boy makes working in a factory in China. Sometimes (not always) working for an employer is not the way to go. I am also a part-time website designer for small businesses in my area. I will do a website for around $75 and charge for updates or I will actually teach the company to do their own for $75 and put them in charge of their own updates. I am booked for business for quite some time. I also offer small business consulting services and the web customers often turn to me for consulting services and vice versa. I earn (and keep) much more than working at Walgreens, can do it on my own schedule, and get sweet tax deductions for a legitimate home business. Thank you, Uncle Sam! What I am saying is that I am using my skills and each of you should do the same. One person could have an award winning recipe for Cajun Jambalaya (I just had that for dinner so that's what came to mind) while another person may want to perform energy audits, sell or install energy efficient light bulbs and thermostats, and/or associated products and services. Mr. Muscles over there might consider teaching exercise classes in his garage alone or in groups ($10 a session, 5 students = $50/hour). My list of options can simply go on and on but all relates to one basic question... what's YOUR passion? Do you know anyone who might like a scrapbook but lacks the time, equipment or skill to put it together on a computer? Hmmm... that can be a lucrative money-maker, especially to an elderly person who may want to hand down recipes and photos and such. Another skilled person might want to buy and refinish old discarded furniture found in a dumpster that can resell for $50-100 with a coat of paint, sanding, upholstery or whatever. What about Mrs Stay at Home Mom becoming a virtual assistant for an entrepreneur with a day job? She can take messages, answer questions, type invoices, mail postcards or whatever's needed on her own schedule in between diaper changes and naps. Do you have a great idea for a book, newsletter or magazine? Start out by writing it and then worry about self-publishing or selling to a publisher. If you find and fill the needs of your audience you can earn not only income but royalties. I have an active interest in passive income. Do you enjoy washing windows? housekeeping? running errands? There are a number of disabled and senior citizens who could use your energy. What about doing taxes, bookkeeping or using accounting experience? make up? Sewing or alterations? Teaching computer skills? Clowning? swimming instructor? crafting? consulting? Ever see the tv show "Shark Tank?" I told you this could be a long list but what works for one person won't work for another. Don't just wait for your ship to come in, swim out to meet it!
