Making Extra Pocket Money To Help Support Your Family

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.

Consider different ways of making money that will suit how much time you have available and your personality. The activity you decide to do should also serve your purposes. Therefore, decide if you want extra money every month, or just once-off. Decide if you would rather work offline or online, and determine if you have money to spend on your new venture.

An easy way to make money is to sell some unwanted goods. These usually include things that are lying around your house or garage. Simply arrange a date when you will be having a yard sale, and make some advertisements for the event. You will surely attract a number of people who want to buy quality used items at a good price. You can even buy products to re-sell.

If you don't want to have a yard sale, you can place items for sale on the internet. There are websites where people can go to look for items they want, and here you can place adverts for your unwanted things. One well-known website is eBay. Sometimes, you can place notice of your items for sale free of charge.

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.

Other types of freelance work is also possible online. People complete graphic design projects, computer programming work and even do photography online. Work can also be found in the niche of internet marketing. You may discover that your talents can be very useful for generating an additional online income.

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.

Babysitting is a good way of making some extra pocket money, or you can even look after pets. For a full-time occupation and income you can consider opening a daycare center. Good money can also be made if you have a truck. Many people need this sort of vehicle to move large and heavy items, or you could load scrap metal and sell it. With some imagination, there is money to be made.
