20 ways to make extra money

One of the interesting results of my research into ways to earn extra money from home is the realization that not everybody wants to ‘quit their day job’.

Some do for sure, but many, many people just want a method to earn just a little bit of extra money part time – maybe a little extra cash earned at home in the evening around their regular commitments, or when the kids have gone to bed.

You may not want to start a work at home career -you may just want a way to earn extra money to pay off the latest bill or afford a nice holiday. And that is a different situation from maybe 12 months ago when the majority of people were going online seeking to ‘quit their day job’.

Now, just as many people just want to earn extra money because they have lost their job, or need to earn extra money simply to make ends meet.

But help is at hand in the shape of the internet. What the Internet has done is open up a whole new world of earning opportunities, including ways to earn extra money I bet you haven’t even thought of.

Here is my list of 20 ways you can earn extra money part time regardless of how much time you have to devote along with a link to more information where I have posted a specific article.

And if you work hard, and your business grows.. well, who knows how far you can take it?

Some may only earn a trickle, others have the potential to earn you lots. Some may suit you, some may not.

They may not all be day job quitters, but with a little application each of these could pay some of the monthly bills. And they are all the sort of thing you can do in the evening.

And if you earn extra money regularly with one, why not try another as well?

I would welcome any additional ideas or comments you may have

It could be that your hobby (even if it is really obscure ) could be just what you need to kick start a business or even just make some extra money alongside your day job.

So what hobbies do you have?

Everybody has a hobby.

You may turn round and tell me you don’t have a hobby.

But I bet you do

Even if it is watching TV or reading or going to the movies…..

Do you enjoy cooking, watching movies, rock climbing, soccer, collecting stamps, making cards, scrapbooking?

There are many people all over the world who guaranteed will share the same hobbies and interests as you. Have you ever thought that these could be hobbies that make extra money for you?

What about turning your hobby or interest into a source of extra income?

There are a number of ways you can do this. Exactly how you go about making extra money will also depend on the hobby itself, but in a nutshell you could

• sell your output or
• sell your knowledge.

Make Money From Your Hobby By Selling Your Output

Selling your output will largely depend on whether there is any output to sell(!), but if you enjoy crafts such as card making you could sell your products on eBay or even through your own website.

If you took this one step further you could make money from your website through advertising or as an affiliate (selling other people’s products for commission).

Make Money From Your Hobby By Selling Your Knowledge

Selling your knowledge is slightly different.

For instance if you are really into gardening how many tips and hints could you put together? And with a little research (which would be interesting anyway), could you put a 10 page eBook which you could publish and sell for a few dollars?

Alternatively you could setup a content website and monetize it or a newsletter and recommend products from your hobby… the sky really is the limit and today more than at any time you have the capability to identify the hobbies that make extra money and do just that from them!

Or what about blogging about your hobby?

Or setting up a forum and monetizing it with either your own or affiliate products.

The sky really is the limit….
