Extra Pocket Money Can Be Made In Many Ways

By Jeannie Chapman


A little extra pocket money can help you through the month, especially if there are additional bills to pay. Even if you have a steady income, a bit more money can go a long way. However, those who have been laid-off work, will especially be needing an income, and sometimes a little imagination is required. Here are a few ideas that can help you get started.

Several types of work can be found. The type which suits you best could depend on various things. For instance, you may want to earn a little more every month, or you may just want some immediate cash. You can also decide if you want to work from home, online, or if you are happy working around others in an offline capacity. Capital may also be required for certain activities, and the amount of money you need may determine what you end up doing.

If you need some quick cash and do not want to start an on-going project, perhaps consider a garage sale. You will need to do some advertising for the event, such as posters at your local shop. When the customers arrive you can negotiate the prices of the objects for sale. You can even take this one step further by buying useful items at low prices and selling them for profit.

The internet is another good place where you can sell things you don't want anymore. There are websites such as eBay which allow you to place items for sale. You can add a photo, and also describe the style, color or make of item for sale. Often, adverts can be placed for free.

Those who like to write can do well online, as many website owners hire writers who can provide professional work. The rates paid for articles will vary, depending on their length and the budget of the employer. If you have a flair for writing, look online for sites that offer writing projects, and see if you can accept a few to make some money. You will need access to the internet, but no other funds to get started.

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.

For those who prefer to work offline, there are also many options. The delivery of newspapers is a very easy way to make additional funds; if you like to get up early. You can also find work at theaters and concert halls because the production staff often needs assistance with moving their props and other equipment. Technically-minded individuals could help with lighting and wiring. Otherwise, perhaps try designing some special occasion invitations, adverts or menus for restaurants.

Extra pocket money is not too hard to acquire, with some planning and imagination. You can look after pets or children, start a daycare center or even use your truck to help move furniture, garden refuge or other materials. Trucks can be used for the collection of scrap metal too.
