Not everyone is facing the recession the same way, and I'll tell you why! They have come up with clever ways to beat the broke and now, you can too. With November just starting and Christmas around the corner today is the perfect day to start earning extra cash now.
Are you wondering what jobs I have thought of that you have not? Simple, get back to the basics!
Picture yourself before your first job. Some of us were avid lemonade stand and bake sale professionals, and who says it still can't be that easy?
- For The Kid Inside Of You - Ever consider babysitting? Websites like http://www.sittercity.com/ and http://www.care4hire.com/ invite people of all ages to set up a FREE profile to start meeting families in need of an extra hand. Depending on your skills, pay ranges from $8.00 - $20.00 an hour! For people with extra time, nanny positions are also available with varying pay ranges.
- For the Pet Lover - Not only does http://www.sittercity.com/ offer profiles for childcare, they also offer opportunities for pet sitters! Have a few hours open in your schedule that you're looking to fill? Create a profile to offer your services pet sitting, or dog walking according to your schedule.
- For Those Who Love Quiet Time - By now you know SitterCity.com is great for child and pet care, but it's also great for house sitters. What is easier than looking over a couple's house for the evening and walking away with some extra money? Spend time alone catching up on homework, relaxing, or reading a book- regardless, you are leaving with some extra $$
- For The Crafty - Have a skill you are more than proud of? Be it homemade gifts, clothes, vintage accessories, starting a website featuring and selling your craft will help you not only make money, but will also allow you to enjoy your "job."
- For The Manly Man (Or Girl) - It's fall! Get some exercise and money by raking some leaves. Remember the rake in your backyard? Pull out the leaf blower or rake and save the weekends to do some hard work! Depending on the size of the yard you choose the price, time, and amount of yards you do. What's better than creating your own schedule AND price?!
- For The Junk Collector - Can you say ... Amazon/EBay/Craigslist?? Gather your most "valuable" junk belongings and create a profile on various websites. Not only will you be getting rid of some extra clutter, but it's a great wallet pleaser as well.
- For The Bookworm - Got Smarts? Post fliers around town offering subjects that you are comfortable tutoring in. (Sittercity.com also offers a section for tutoring.) Try googling Tutoring Jobs as well.
- For The Writer - Although this may not be a a reoccurring paycheck, if you think you have imagination and writing skills enter some online story contests. Many have first through third place prizes ranging in various cash rewards !
- For The Brave - Ever hear of a Human Guinea pig? For the brave, there are plenty of positions available to be "Tested" on, (but don't fret! They're mostly safe hehe.. ) For the less brave, there are beauty products you get to test and report back to the employer. There is also sperm and egg (21+) donations ... [no explanation needed], and blood platelet donations for some quick cash.
- For The College Student - Get a job on campus! (Starbucks much?) Working in the library, Campus Resident Advisers, & Tutoring are only a few possibilities. Working at school will save you gas and allow you to stay involved in student activities.
- For The Artist - Are you spending countless hours playing music or teaching your friends the latest songs on your guitar? Similar to tutoring, you can place Ads offering your skill level/schedule to teach people your best instrument. You name the cost and let the business come to you.
- For The Jock - Calling all : Tennis, Golf, Soccer, and Basketball jocks! You can make money teaching private lessons to kids and young adults interested in your sport! You can make fliers, place an Ad on Craigslist and the newspaper, email your friends. After all, the more you get spread the word, the higher your chances of having clients.
Finally,
For The Rest Of You... http://www.jobs.com/, http://www.careerbuilder.com/ http://www.monster.com/, http://www.snagajob.com/, http://www.usajobs.gov/ & http://www.simplyhired.com/
