Interesting Ways to Make Some Extra Money Outside of a Day Job

With the economy recovering ever so slowly, there’s always room for an extra source of income. Supplementing your day job is a good idea during these rough economic times, as it allows you to make some extra money while sometimes indulging a passion, too. Here are some interesting ways you can make money in the meanwhile.

1. Be a pet sitter, a dog walker, or a babysitter if you like. These jobs never go anywhere and always pay decently.
2. Teach what you know, be it a language or a skill.
3. Take up freelance writing. You’ll learn new things, get to write on subjects that interest you and you can make quite a bit doing it.
4. Do research. Most research work is done online and a lot of people outsource their research work due to the lack of time. This is a good opportunity to use the time you spend online to make extra money.
5. Help the technologically backward do online tasks like getting a loan online or a payday loan.
6. If you’ve got the know-how, why not trade in the stock market?
7. Get a fast cash advance and start up a small part-time business. We all have something that we’ve wished we had done – maybe running a small business, maybe monetizing a hobby or skill. Now’s the perfect time.
8. Cook extra during the holidays or have a garage sale. You will be amazed at the amount of stuff you find around the house when you get down to cleaning.
9. Join a focus group. Here you get a decent amount of pay to partake in an experience or use a product and give your views on the same.
10. Join a direct sales company.
