I was talking to a friend of mine and she was needing extra money to make ends meet in these kind of hard times. We brainstormed a bunch of ideas and I just thought if any of my four readers was looking for ways to make extra cash for making ends meet or Christmas or whatever-that I would share!
Yard sale
Sale of old furniture
sale your old gold
teach a lessons of something you know how to do...piano, sewing, budgeting, computer skills(how to make a blog lessons!), voice, knitting, cooking, cake decorating, and on and on. Whatever you are good at someone else would prob. love to learn-just advertise it that you are teaching it for X amount of dollars!
Babysit
Sale Bread or homemade food items(cookies)
clean houses
make little girl dresses or tutus and sale them on eBay or start a selling blog
make jewelry and sale it the same way (my customer's mom started this one)
make hair bows and sale them (craft fairs are getting ready to be every week-end) or online
refinish furniture or paint canvas art
Be a DJ for a wedding or reunion (this might be costly to start)
design blogs
teach a language
run errands for people who can't (older people or busy people)
haul off people's trash
pet sit
Are you a genealogy buff? People love to know their family histories, but don’t have time to do the research. You can offer your services as a “family researcher” and help clients learn about their roots, learn about your own in the process, and generate extra income.
paint (ugh)
What else-share your ideas with us!!!

I know you put dog sit, but I like the idea of a doggy day care at your house :) That is if you like dogs ???
Clever post!
i don't have a suggestion right now i have to think more but just today i saw some older ladies set up outside walmart selling their homemade sweet potato pies and some tarts or fried pies or something. i thought it was cute but i was there for storage bins gosh darnit and nothing was stopping me! ;)
My sister became a Guide for ChaCha...it is an online service that allows you to text message a question and the "Guides" answer them by conducting an online search for an answer. Guides get paid per question. I am currently in the process of becoming a guide. No set hours and it is easy money. My sister has been able to use the extra money to pay for car repairs, fall clothes and even some bills. Check out www.chacha.com!
