How To Make Money On The Side

Let’s face it, with the economic times that we’re in, even if you have a job you may need to know how to make money on the side. It seems that our paychecks are not going as far as they used to. Thankfully, there are ways we can put some fast cash into our pockets with little effort. Notice I said little effort, not no effort!

Here is one way I used to use to make a quick buck or two when I lived just outside of Dallas Texas.

I would go onto Craigslist and search the free section. If you live in or near a major Metro area, go check this out. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll be amazed at what people are trying to get rid off. They are practically begging other people to come and get their stuff!

Okay, for example, I just took a look at the free section there and here is what the first 5 listings are trying to give away.

1. Free TV. 32 inch Samsung TV, not sure if it works and has some damage.
2. 52 inch projection TV. Worked the last time they used it
3. Wooden childs playset. This is one of those expensive outdoor swing/jungle Jim/slides
4. Maytag heavy duty washer. Needs belts and 2 speed motor
5. Dora the Explorer cake pan

Do you see what I see in just these 5 things? If you saying anything less than a thousand bucks, you need to think outside the box! If I still did this part time, I would be on my way to pick all that stuff up.

Then once I had it picked up, the stuff that needed cleaned or repaired I’d get that done. Then everything get’s re-listed on Craigslist for sale. The cake pan would probably go on eBay since it’s rather small and would appeal to a wide audience. The most valuable thing here in my experience is the play set. Next would be the heavy duty washer. And you now what, most of my cost would be just for gas going and picking that stuff up!

If you have been thinking about MLM (multi-level marketing) as a way to have a work from home job this could be a great idea or a nightmare depending on what type of person you are.  This type of business is basically sales.  You need to sell people on the product or you need to sell people on the idea of joining your organization.  If you don’t like sales then you will not like network marketing.

One of the most difficult aspects of building this kind of business is finding other people who want to put in the effort and work which is required to be successful.  Your best bet is to find people in your area who you can share the opportunity with.  Using these local mlm leads is easier because you have something in common, your local geography and culture.  It is much easier to talk to someone who has shared experiences than it is to talk to a person from the other side of the country or the other side of the world.  That being said, if you don’t like meeting people and communicating with them then you will never be as successful in this business as someone who does.
