Ways to make extra money

[Gailete]

How is taking out a loan on your car a way to MAKE money? There is a good chance of losing the money and your car if you are trying to 'invest' in some program that some smooth talker has talked you into for a 'nominal' investment. At this point we have brought in over the years over $60K clear by bootstrapping our way into a business plus other on line activities. We started with what we had and plowed the income back into the business. Not only do we now have a functioning business, we also have enough inventory to keep it going another 4-5 years without investing another penny if we wanted to.

I get nervous when someone tries to get people to invest money, especially taking out a loan, to try to get something off the ground in some money making scam. I have known far to many people who tried that and lost every penny. Unfortunately your words always fall on deaf ears.

i have a better idea...

all of those "hustle" ways to gain money are very time consuming and very low profit.......most of the time anyway.

If you have anything valuable and you are truly smart with what money you have and have an idea or feel confident you can flip that cash then the best way to get a bunch of money is through an auto title loan. Think about it. You dont have to go to your bank...interest rates can still be low and fixed..dont accept an adjustable...thats what a credit card is..dumb...you can still get financed even with a loan on it already. what theyll do is appraise the car and if you only have lets say a few thousand on it theyll pay off the first lien and give you cash in return for possession of the title. when you pay it off you get your title back, sell your car.

im not sure if they have anything like this for other types of valuables like maybe real real expensive watches but who has those lying around? mostly everyone has a car it is a more practical option.

Actually.....I sell products that I have experience in

That makes all the difference. I have been selling on line for over 11 years now and I see so many people jump in with both feet and then wonder why nothing sells. It pays to have some experience and research what you are going to do. I'm in process, as I have time, on writing a book about the 'preface' to selling on line. The things to do or not do which makes some of the determination of whether a person sinks or swims when going on line to sell things. I have actually seen a post on ecrater from a new 'seller' who signed up for a store and then wondered if ecrater provided the product, and who does the shipping, and how do they make money out of it all, etc. Obviously someone who didn't have a clue, but someone must have said that you could make money selling on line so there they were.

It seems so many people here answer the question of how to make extra money or the variation of how to make money on line with a short, less than a sentence response, which makes it hard to know if they know what they are actually talking about. It is easy to say write a blog, it is another thing to make money writing a blog. I would love to see more people actually talk about their experiences here. Maybe that i9s just me though. I have lots of ways of making money on line (physical problems keep me from doing actually physical work) but I don't post them as ideas since I don't know if they would actually make money until I tried them.

Actually.....I sell products that I have experience in.....next.....I am a web designer and have competed also with an online store.....that is even tougher... unless you pay search engines to point to your site....you are DONE!

Ebay......Amazon......and find yourself dropshippers

If you are going to be selling on line, much better to be selling your own unique products instead of competing against hundreds of other sellers selling the exact same stuff. One of the biggest complaints that I see from drop shipper sellers is why isn't their stuff selling and how do they promote this eclectic batch of goods that they never even handle or see up close. Even if you source new products yourself to sell and ship, you will have a much better chance at a thriving business, than people that are only being a middle-middle-man (the main middleman is the drop shipping source). And yes I suppose that some drop shippers do wonderfully well, but I wouldn't count on it if you don't have much to invest in product and have no experience selling either on or off line.

easy way to earn some extra money at no cost to you

I am not sure if someone already mentioned this, but there are several more ways you can make extra money or even a full time income.

1. Peer to peer lending. You will need to put up some money upfront for an investment so this might not be a good choice for a lot of people, but if you do have money it is a good and steady source of income every month. This also depends on the amount of money you invest; the more you invest the more you will make.

2. FOREX. I know that the word FOREX brings a negative image in peoples mind. A lot of people think of FOREX as a scam, but it is not. It is a really legitimate way of making a steady income if you know what you are doing. Actually you only need to learn a little and then find a reputable signal provider that will give you good, actionable trades that you can follow and make an income. Contrary to what most people think, this method of making extra money can be started with very little cash. You can start with $50 if you are on a really tight budget.

These two money generating methods are 100% doable and can start producint income right away.
Many other methods of making money mentioned here can take some time before you see even one dollar. For example blogging is good, but it can take you years before you see any significant income. Same thing with writing eBooks, reviews and freelancing. Doing these things you actually need to have authority or expert status in order to generate a significant amount of income.

There are many ways that we can make extra money in today's day and age. Technology is a wonderful thing!

I'd say the best way to make more money is by doing something you enjoy while earning a little extra from it

I agree. How many of you are already doing jobs you hate? Doing something you enjoy, if not love, will make earning money from it more enjoyable and you can stick to it longer. Almost every way I earn money on line is about sewing related activities, something I physically can't do as much as I'd like anymore but that doesn't mean I have to shut it out of my life. I've seen people try to pick up jobs, especially on line just for the sake of making money. They choose to sell something that they don't really care about so they can't promote efficiently. I notice this especially with drop shipper sellers. They are selling a bunch of different stuff from a catalog, just the same as a thousand other sellers and nothing sets them apart, not even their love of what they sell. It is sad to see. Especially as they then wonder why things don’t sell and get more and more discouraged.

Some More Ideas

I'd say the best way to make more money is by doing something you enjoy while earning a little extra from it. You could play an instrument in a busy area if that's your thing, or you can make videos and monetize them on YouTube. If you like animals, offer to walk the neighbor's dog every day for $20 a week. If you're into computers, you can offer your services to people like building them a new computer or fixing their broken computers. You can even make artwork and sell it. Everybody has a hobby that could probably be turned into some bonus money somehow. Something I recently got into was NeoBux, I sometimes find myself glued to the screen because I enjoy managing referrals so much.

my personal way of making extra income aside from my day job is I go online affiliate selling. its good because its gives me extra income every month, although very minimal since I alot only small time for it but does help me get by..

Another way of making money is selling on eBay. I've been selling on eBay for the last 5 months and made over $4000. I only do it part time as well!

Here is what i do in a nutshell. I figure out what items are in demand (research). I go to goodwill, thrift stores and flea markets to get inventory (mainly high end men's clothing). I make sure the items are in good condition and list them!

Just my 2 cents.
