    You can try on eBay or Craiglist or some sites, if they are books for a certain demographic target forums that demographics visits and advertise you're selling. Not very likely to get much money for books these days unfortunately.

    All you need is a pick-up, trailer, mower, weed eater and a blower and you're in business.
    You could be right about that unless you don't have a pick up truck! Ours died several years back and with no money to replace it, it also meant that that piano moving (in combination with an enclosed trailer) meant that my hubby couldn't move pianos any more. We probably get at least one call a month asking for help to move them, but a new used truck just isn't in the budget. So while some things seem like they should be an easy business to fall into, if you don't have the equipment it brings great difficulty.

    Hello dear friend
    I'm not sure where you are from, most likely the UK since you use GBP, but the ONLY emails or on-line notes that I get that start with the phrase, "hello dear friend" are part of the Nigerian scam letters, ie. trying to get your banking information by telling you that this poor widow can't get her millions of dollars out of the country without your help which is of course ridiculous. I almost didn't read the rest of your note which does seem to contain good information. This is why I mention it. I don't know if I am the only one that the minute I see those words I get a visceral reaction that anything else said will be promoting a scam. Swap it out with something along the line of 'Hey guys" or nothing at all will get more attention.

    Probably depends on where you live, but I've always thought that anyone with a little physical ability could get into mowing and lawn care on the side. All you need is a pick-up, trailer, mower, weed eater and a blower and you're in business. Many already have these same tools for our own yards. Cleaning snow, cleaning gutters, trimming shrubs, sealing driveways, etc. would also go hand in hand.

    Another idea if you are near a lakefront community would be putting in and taking out piers and boat hoists, winter watch on homes of absentee owners, etc.

    There’s a limit to how much you can save
    I hope you meant that there is NO limit to how much you can save. If not, are you just meanting saving in retirement accounts, etc.? Because I have never heard of a limit to the amount you can save. But eventually you may hit a limit of how much you can earn based on your time, talents, physical ability. I known if my health was better, I could probably earn a lot more on line, but my body refuses to push itself past a certain point and some people have limited intellect to figure out more money making schemes.

    I do agree though that the more you make and save, the better.

    Ways to make extra money

    Hi, There are many ways to make money nowadays. It could be having your own small business out nothing. For example, you can sell the second hand clothes or other materials that you don't actually need anymore even at your own place. This is what we call "garage sale". I'm sure there's money in it even for a little profit only.

    make money online

    Home based businesses have become a trend for the past few years. But most online business start-ups fail within the first year. By year five only about 15% of new business are still in operation. That is a startling statistic but it is quite typical, and many aspiring internet entrepreneurs will fail at making money online. Before starting any business, it is important for a business owner to conduct market research to find out information on their competitors, prospective clients and customers, niche, and so on. Gather reports and data analysis to determine how to make your business stand out. Study the numbers and trends to familiarize yourself with what to expect in the long run. You will need a website to let other people know about your business. It is quite easy to make one, but making it appear on the top of search queries and appealing to prospective clients and customers is a different matter. Read on search engine optimization to learn tips and tricks on how to utilize keywords that can drive traffic to your web pages. Find out what information to post to your site to let prospects know and understand, without any difficulty, what you are selling or offering.

    ways to make money is a great topic

    I agree that 'Ways To Make Money' is a great discussion topic. We live in a time when college grads have a hard time finding work, even at McDonald's. And when you finally get a job, it usually does not even require the degree that you worked so hard to get and for which you may still owe money for college loans. I think that everyone that understands the remote possibility of making money online, has at least done some research on the topic. A discussion forum devoted to the topic is a great place for everyone to help one another with their successes and failures.

    When would one experience unending happiness? It will happen when you let go of the one thing in this world, which you love the most. In worldly matters, what is that? Money.
