Ways to Make Some Money

Take advantage of the season. In the winter shovel snow from driveways and walkways for people you can't or just don't want to do it themselves. In the summer, cut lawns and clean gutters. I know I would have to pay someone to do yard work in the summer for me if I didn't have my wonderful hubby. I'm allergic to insect venoms and I'm terrified of being stung or bit while outside. So I would be the type of client you could help.

There are survey sites all over the internet that pay cash or in gift cards. Sign up at one of those sites and take surveys in your spare time. Survey Savvy is one source.


Do things noone else seems to want to. There is a kid in our neighborhood who will "pooper scoop" your yard once a week for $20/week. That is $80 a month times however many families have you doing this. No it isn't a fun job, but he is taking advantage of what noone wants to do.

Ways to Make Money:
Sell yourself....NO not that way. You can sell your blood, plasma, eggs, sperm. You can even go take part in a drug trial.

Please do not write nasty comments about this. If it isn't for you, then don't do it. The money it could bring in could keep a family afloat. It is an option for someone. So if you don't agree, please refrain from comment.

Love dogs? Here is your chance to make money working for the dogs. Be a pet sitter or a dog walker. There are some pet owners that don't have time to walk their dogs or can't due to health issues. You would be a Godsend to them. Pet sitting is another way to make money. Start with people you know and the word will spread.

 

 

Love to shop? Be a personal shopper for those who hate it or don't have the time. If you have a knack for picking those perfect gifts or for clothing....this would be a great job for you. I see personal shoppers at the grocery store all the time. Usually shopping for wealthier seniors or busy execs who don't have time for it.
