By Jeannie Chapman


Today's economy is not how it used to be, and many people are forced to supplement their salaries with some extra pocket money. Many people have also lost their work, and are in desperate need of generating some cash. With some thought and planning, you can come up with several ways of making money. The following information may help to guide you in the right direction.

Consider different ways of making money that will suit how much time you have available and your personality. The activity you decide to do should also serve your purposes. Therefore, decide if you want extra money every month, or just once-off. Decide if you would rather work offline or online, and determine if you have money to spend on your new venture.

Money can be made at a yard sale if you have some things that can be sold. You can put up a notice at nearby shops so that all your neighbors will know about the things you have for sale and when the yard sale will be held. Your prices can be negotiable. Furthermore, you can make on-going profit if you are able to buy things cheaply and re-sell them.

Online, you can sell things too. There are several websites that function as a platform for those who have items for sale. One of the most popular is eBay. You can sign up for a free account, and you can add photos, descriptions and prices of the things you want to sell.

If you like the idea of working online, you have a number of opportunities from which to choose. There are many people who want to hire writers for articles, e-books and various other things, and a number of websites from where you can acquire this type of work. This is a service with no starting costs, besides an internet connection if you don't already have one.

Online, there are many more opportunities as well for those who have other skills. There are plenty of jobs for those knowledgeable in computers and marketing. Photographers can even acquire online work. Carefully browse websites which offer freelance employment and determine the types of work which will be best suited to your skills.

A variety of things can be done offline to help supplement your income, or create an income. You can get a paper delivery round, or provide assistance at your local theaters. Lots of help is always needed to move equipment and props, or to set up lighting. For those who are creative, there are plenty of things that can be made, such as invitations to weddings, baby showers etc.

Babysitting is a good way of making some extra pocket money, or you can even look after pets. For a full-time occupation and income you can consider opening a daycare center. Good money can also be made if you have a truck. Many people need this sort of vehicle to move large and heavy items, or you could load scrap metal and sell it. With some imagination, there is money to be made.
