Making extra money is something everyone can use. But the question is how do you make that extra money.
Below you will find an excerpt from a post that gives you 6 different ideas.
1. Start Consulting
The Second Shift, founded in 2014, addresses the needs of highly skilled professional women seeking flexible employment options and businesses seeking top quality on-demand talent. HourlyNerd links highly educated professionals with big and small companies that need consulting help to solve challenges.For instance, Christine Schuldt of Wellesley, MA, a former marketing executive who left her job to stay home with her young children, now earns significant side income through consulting. In the past year, she’s completed five projects, mostly in marketing, via HourlyNerd. “It’s a way to resume your career, reboot your skills, meet interesting people, do stimulating work, and make additional income,” Schuldt says.
2. Be a ‘Middleman’ on eBay
“When people think of making money on eBay, they usually think about selling the junk in their garage and basement, which of course offer limited products,” says Nisa Schmitz, media relations manager at Doubledot Media, which offers drop-shipping on eBay.The genius behind drop-shipping: You never actually ship anything — or handle the product. Instead, as Schmitz explains, “After you make a sale, the company ships the product directly to your customer for you.” And you get a percentage of the sale.
SaleHoo, an online wholesale directory of more than 8,000 prescreened suppliers (such as Gap and Playskool), offers a marketplace for those interested in serving as the “middleman” on eBay, meaning you act as the storefront selling wholesale products. Similarly, check out WorldWide Brands.
3. Capitalize on Your Car
If you own a car, you could be making money with it. As the concept of the sharing economy grows, people are looking to rent other people’s cars rather than purchase their own. Sites like Turo and GetAround can connect you with people who may be interested in renting your vehicle by the hour, day, week, or month.To read the full article click here
