In these uncertain economic times, everyone could use a little extra spending money.
I'll show you 6 very easy ways to immediately make more money.
Having a little extra pocket money will help to alleviate the stress and worry of what the future will bring.
One of the easiest ways to increase your income is to sell unwanted goods on your local Craigslist.
In one week I made $100 selling a vacuum cleaner (I had 2), computer speakers, glassware, and a picture I no longer wanted.
It's free to post your items, and you can either have people come directly to you to purchase the goods, or you can deliver it to them.
If you include a picture with your listing, you will guarantee a faster sell.
Take your unwanted clothes to a consignment shop.
Some stores will even accept small household items such as picture frames, kitchen items, and knick knacks.
The store prices your items, and if they sell, you receive half of the purchase price.
Usually the store has 90 days to sell your items.
You have the option of picking up any unsold items or the store will donate them to charity.
It's a great way to clean out your closet and make a few extra bucks! Save your recyclable cans and bottles, and return them to your local recycling center.
If you're really industrious, you can ask a neighborhood bar for their recyclables.
Beware though, they may give you a huge garbage bag full and you'll be spending some time at the center! Save all your loose change in a jar.
Open up a savings account at your local bank, and at the end of each month, deposit your change into the account.
If you start this in Jan.
, by the next Dec.
you'll have plenty of money to purchase holiday gifts with cash! If your an avid reader, take all your paperbacks to a second hand book store.
The store owner will usually give you an option of cash or store credit.
For example, I took a paper shopping bag full of books to my local store, and was offered $10 in cash or $20 in store credit.
With most books being priced at $2, I could have 10 more books, or $10 extra gas money.
Lastly, do you have a passion that you can turn into cash? I have a friend that adores makeup, so twice a month she hosts Mary Kay parties for additional income.
Do you have a fabulous garden? Make flower arrangements and sell them at your local farmer's market.
It usually only cost you your time, and a table to display them on.
The ideas are endless, so put your thinking cap on and start earning more today!!
