    It may have been mentioned before, but you should make money off what you spend by taking advantage of the cash-back rewards from credit cards. If you spend $5,000 on food in a year and currently buy it with all cash, switching to a credit card that gives 3% back would be an automatic $150 in your pocket each year.

      I've sold books online, there are sites where you can type in ISBNs and they tally what your books are worth, email you a shipping label so you don't pay a dime. Then you get money sent straight to your paypal account. Not too bad if you have books lying around collecting dust.

        Freelance Writers

        in todays marketing world, having a great website with great content is essential. Most companies know this, and want this, but do not have the resources to do this themselves. Search the web for companies asking for this help and weed out the good ones and you might get results. Or, you can even search websites for topics that interest you. Review the website, and if you feel the topic isn't up to par, simply send them an email telling them of your skills.

          Devatha,
          Farming means long hours (e.g., dairy farming is an 80 hr/week job) and low pay. The only way farmers get rich, is if their land appreciates substantially in price. Most small scale farmers barely break even, even though they spend so much time working.

              Collecting aluminum cans can bring in some extra change. I also used to have a paper route on the side and fill in on other peoples routes for extra income.

                  Blogging, if done right can help you make money. Just make sure you have high-quality content. Also, you can take on freelance content writing jobs, or edit papers and articles online.

                    I just recently heard you can get paid to have advertisements put on your car. I'm thinking of getting it done. If I get a decent offer I might go for it. I imagine it wouldn't damage the paint otherwise no one would get wraps. I looked at this Vehicle Wrap company. Anyone know of others I can make comparisons too before I make a decision?

                      I just read an article on extra money making today. It suggested Mystery Shopping if you find a legit one, one lady got all her gas through MS gas stations. Another guy was a collectible hunter on ebay, craigslist and good at finding diamonds in the rough. Another person said she made $55 a week selling her blood!

                        I looked into this a few years ago and the site I went to wasn't accepting any new requests at the time. They had a lot more willing car owners than they had companies willing to pay for the advertising.

                        And if you don't use your vehicle a lot, you can forget it. They look for people who put a lot of miles on their vehicle so the advertisement is getting plenty of exposure. Garage kept vehicles are also bad for their business.

                          Having a house clearance could make you money at a car boot or online and de-clutter your house. This is a one off may of making money though and therefore if you constantly want to make money then maybe you consider a second job?

                              They probably would work with me then. I only drive about 20 miles a day.
