A few ways to make some extra money on the side WITHOUT getting a second job..
Times are tough and everyone could probably use a little extra money. I don’t blame you if you already feel worked enough in your one job and don’t feel like taking on a whole new job. Here are some tips on ways to make a bit extra cash without taking on a second job:
1. Sign up you and your family with market research companies: In almost every big to mid size city, there are a number of marketing research companies. At some point, you will probably qualify for a research plan they are working on. You could make anywhere from $50 - $250 or more.. Each plan pays differently and it usually just lasts about an hour. All companies have needs of all different types of people - different races, ages, sexes, income levels, etc. Do a google search to see what market research companies are in your city and sign up with as many as you can.

2. Check under Craig’s List volunteer section - Not only can you find some market research studies like mentioned above but there are also often postings for sleep studies, University paid studies, and health studies — and they all pay!!
3. Sell old furniture on Craig’s List -
If you were about to throw away that old couch, bedroom furniture, or entertainment set, why not take some pictures of them and post them to Craig’s List. If you price it cheap, like $50, you’ll probably get it off your hands very fast. You’d be suprised how many responses you get and just how easy it was.
4. Write a blog - Don’t take my job away - but there are tons of blogs out looking for paid writers. Is there something you know alot about? You usually can make your own schedule and write when you get the opportunity.
5. Babysit, house sit, pet sit - This is not the most luxurious option. But if you throw in a few of these you can rack up an extra $50 here and there.
If you haven’t done so already, sign up for free mobile coupons from Cellfire. There are some awesome deals here like a free lunch.
