Extra Cash Ideas

John Hundley here...

One of the drawbacks of being "between" jobs is pressure. The bills don't stop coming just because you're not working. Worse that pressure can entice us to make decisions we later regret.

The fact is, while  money can't buy happiness, it sure can make misery a bit more comfortable.

With all this in mind, I decided to seek out some ideas to help you take the stress off. I'll add on as time and opportunity permits.

The idea here is to make some extra cash to keep you afloat. Some of these things you may still do long after you find a job. Maybe because you want to catch up on bills. Maybe you'll use the extra to pick up stuff you normally can't afford. Maybe because it's just plain fun. :-)

While it is possible some of these ideas can turn into a full-time income - (Wrigley made a fortune selling little sticks of gum - go figure.) - there are NO guarantees you'll even make a dime. Believe me, my wife and I have had a couple of "million-dollar ideas' we lost our shirts on. It happens.

My best advice is be careful - start small - make tiny profits and then expand a bit. This way, even if the idea ends up being a dud, you aren't out much cash.

Okay, enough pep talk.

The first idea is pretty easy and free to try. The downside is it may take a few weeks to get your hands on the cash. You can do this right now, without leaving your house - or even your computer.

Speak Your Peace

You get paid to voice your opinion. How much you make varies but the current average is about $5.00 per survey. Sign up below - it's free to try... 

Take online surveys. Earn rewards such as $5,000, gift certificates to major retailers and much more. It’s that easy so join the Ipsos i-Say panel now!

Shop for Dollars

Another idea is to do some shopping for others. Shopping Gopher does the hard part - taking orders and maintaining a web site - they'll even set you up with your own version. What you do is fill orders and deliver.

You should have a car, of course. And it would be a good idea to promote your business locally on your own instead of depending on Shopping Gopher to generate leads. A handful of flyers and a box of business cards can get you going. Plus a dollar for Shopping Gopher. Why not give it a try? Ony $1.00 Reserves your zipcode! Start today!

By the way - once you join Shopping Gopher - you'll have access to a whole line of promotional items to help you build your business. Yes you could do this yourself, but teaming with Shopping Gopher is a whole lot easier than going it alone - plus they sponsor a forum dedicated to fellow Gophers where you can trade ideas and get peer support.
