How can I make extra money from home? Part 1


 

If you are reading this, I am sure that you are either a stay at home mom or dad, someone in need of a second job, or someone in dying need of extra money. It is very difficult to make ends meet sometimes. It is times like these when every one could use a little extra money to pay bills or do a little shopping. I have compiled a list  of ways that you can make extra money from home.

Part 1 

  1. Sell on EBay. Sell CDs, old books, clothing, DVDs, etc.
     
  2. Make Crafts. If you are creative you can sell your crafts on cafepress.com or etsy.com.
     
  3. Start Your Own Small Business from Home. Mary Kay is one of the top direct selling companies. Avon has also been noted as a reputable company. For Aromatherapy Direct Selling companies, read"Aromatherapy Top Selling Companies".
     
  4. Become a Live Operator. Consider LiveOps, West-at-Home, or Alpine Access. For other live operator jobs, read my article on "Virtual Customer Service Jobs".
     
  5. Start a Blog. You can start your own blog and add google AdSense to it. AdSense is an advertising program that pays per click. Consider, blogger.com or wordpress.com.
     
  6. Write an Article a Day. I currently write articles for Helium.com and Examiner.com. The pay is really good.  If you have passion for writing, join me here and get paid for your creative writing style.  Be sure to let them know I referred you - ID 12800.
  7. Write Essays. I currently write Essays for EssayWriters.net. They pay per page. You can earn anywhere from $3/per page to over $16/per page. You can read about my experience here.
     
  8. Get Paid to Take Surveys. I suggest you try Ipsos, I-say . With this company, you get cash & rewards for your opinions. It's free to sign-up.
     
  9. Find a Work from home job at homejobstop.com. This is the world fastest growing work from home job bank.  This company personally scans work from home jobs and gets rid of all scams and sends them to your personal email account.  Read the review here.

    Another way is to create digital art for t-shirts or for wall art, cards, calendars and sell online. You can do this through RedBubble (www.redbubble.com/), the site I co-founded or maybe there are some other sites out there ;-)

    I love my Mary Kay business. In 4 months I have finished earning the use of a company car. Yes!!!! They are building me a 2010 Chevy Malibu not to mention the extra money. I was skeptical at first, I'm not an easy sell or one to try a bunch of things but I have to admit I have been so happy with this company and the opportunity it has given me. This coming from an Account Executive of over 6 years. Anyone interested in getting info on how they can do it check out my website. WWW.marykay.com/mhinds831

    I have been selling dvds online
    from home sucessfully. This business plan calls for a little work to search for product. You will need to ferret out used dvds and cds at garage sales and thrift stores.

    I love the independance this has given my life. www.selluseddvds.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/make-money-reselling-used-dvds-cds-and-video-games/

    Hi

    This is a very useful article for anyone wanting to earn some extra money from home. I fall into the stay at home mom category and decided to start my own business to bring in some extra money.

    I used VAnetworking.com to start my VA business and couldn't have done it without them. I purchased their Virtual Business Startup System which guided me through every step of starting up my own business from scratch. However, even if you're not in a position to purchase this valuable resource, their free networking forum is amazing and there are just thousands of VAs willing to share their experiences or offer their advice to aspiring VAs.

    I would highly recommend anyone wanting to travel down this path to review their website for all the information they'll ever need on Virtual Assistance.

    Good luck
