Get the Extra Cash you need these Days...

With all the hypes on global recessions and the bad economy, it's really hard to earn some decent bread these days. I came across some tips, and decided I want to share it with you guys. Some may not be applicable in your case, but who knows, in these days, anything that can put some extra cash (as long as it's legal and safe) into ones pocket is sure worth a try...

Sell Your Stuff
- you can sell it online on auction sites like Ebay or Craigslist, or why not organize / join garage sales in your community. You even do it in front of your homes or in the garage. Selling unwanted stuff will not only earn you money, it will also help clear up spaces in your homes.

Be a Shopping Spy
- I have tried that, going to a franchise outlet and pretending to be a customer, then secretly evaluating their services, store cleanliness, crew manners, etc. There are companies willing to pay to some money (plus the money to dine) so that they check on the quality of their outlets. Try asking a friend who is working in these outlets.

Operate a Call Center From Your Home
- Some companies are outsourcing their in-bound/out-bound calls for technical support and desk answering services. If you got good English skills (oral and written), plus willing to be train on the type of services they're offering, then you got a good chance. Scout on these prospective companies online. By the way, you need a phone line and a PC with good internet connection for this one.

Tutor Students
- You're good in academic subjects like Math and English, or do you speak another language? Look for friends who knows of parents who send their siblings to good, expensive schools, and there may be chances of a need of tutors.

Walk the Dogs
- Depending on which community you're in, there are people who are too busy at work to watch over their pets (the expensive ones!), so they would be willing to spare some cash to pay for someone to do it.

Be a Babysitter
- Do I need to say more? What you need is patience and a bit of childish mind.

Write for the Web
- With tons of blogs and article sites out there, do you know that not all blog entries are written by the owners themselves? Because blogs are intended not only as a hobby but as a money making opportunity as well (I'll have another more extensive article on how you can make money by creating and managing your blog soon), many hire bloggers and article writers to do their job. What you need is good writing skills, plus good research skills.

Make Your Hobbies Pay Off
- This is one of the best ways to earn extra cash, because you're enjoying it while doing it. Market yourself by telling friends or perhaps joing groups to be known.
