8 Fast and Easy Ways to Make Extra Money from Home
While many people start a home business to create or replace a full-time income, some people simply want to generate a little extra money to pay a debt, save for a rainy day, or use as mad money for small expenses, emergencies, or impulse purchases. In the past, those who wished to make extra money needed to find a second job. Fortunately, times have changed. You can use the assets you have, whether it's skills, knowledge, or unused items around the home, to make money from home, often without leaving your house.
If you're looking to make extra money from home, here are eight ideas to consider:

eBay is a popular resource for selling various used and unwanted items. However, you have additional options for selling specific used items, such as books, jewelry, wedding dresses, and electronics, where you may have greater success over eBay.
To maximize earnings from these selling sites, it's important to take a great photo of the item and write a compelling, honest description.

There is a growing number of opportunities to lend your skills as a freelancer in what is now coined the "gig economy." Instead of hiring employees, many businesses of all sizes are hiring project-based freelancers to perform tasks, such as research, website updates, transcription, data entry, and graphic creation.
Microwork sites, sometimes called crowdsourcing, connect freelancers who can perform these time-limited tasks with the businesses that need them. While microwork projects are short-term and often don't pay much, there are people who make $1,000 or more a month moonlighting as a microworker.
Microwork sites advertising freelance jobs include:
- MechanicalTurk
- Clickworker
- Microworkers
- QuickTate (transcription)
- RapidWorkers
- TaskRabbit

In this manner my friend Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get whatever they want.
As it turns out, these are the same methods many famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You've heard that you only use 10% of your brain.
That's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe this thought has even occurred INSIDE OF YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around seven years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a car without a license and $3 on his bank card.
"I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life payroll to payroll! Why can't I become successful?"
You've taken part in those types of questions, isn't it so?
Your very own success story is waiting to be written. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
