Top 8 Ways To Earn Money Between Classes Other Than Paid Online Surveys
In the following article we will be discussing some of the most tried and true methods to earn MORE MONEY between your 9-5. I of course am an advocate of paid online surveys, I have them to be the most consistent earner while still allowing me the luxury of not leaving the house. The following 8 ideas are other ways to make some cash.
- Sell Your Old Text Books – Ok let’s face it, our schools are basically robbing up when it comes to text books. The highest I ever recorded was $1,042.20 for a single semester. This is absolutely crazy but often times a necessary evil ( see e-books, amazon for used books, and renting books for ways to save money here). You should be aware that at the end of the semester you can sell your books back, also check out www.sellbackyourbook.com www.cash4books.net and www.bigwords.com.
There are a lot of ways to “game the system” but one that worked especially well was to head into some of the local student book stores and ask them each for their buy/sell sheet. This paper outlined what each store would be willing to purchase a book for and how much they sold it for. Then link the books that could be bought for more than there were sold……profit!
2. What would you do for five bucks? – Check out fiverr.com, this great site allows you to offer your services ( this could be anything) for $5 to other customers online. Popular services include marketing, testimonials, SEO work, graphic design, and coding help. For a locals only version make your way to www.taskrabbit.com
3. Sell Bottled Water and Soda – Take your mom and her membership card to your local costco. Once there buy soda and water in bulk. Set up a local, but popular public location such as the beach, park, basketball courts, or baseball fields and sell your goods. Be careful here as each counties and state have laws pertaining to selling goods on the street.
4. Turn To Science! – Medical advances over the last 100 years are amazing, and many of them need vital resources only available from you…that’s right people are willing to pay you money for blood, plasma, hair, sperm and to also take place in clinical trials of new treatments. Check out your local craigslist for more information.
5. Walk Dogs On The Weekend – If you love animals, and who doesn’t, start a weekend dog walking business. This is not only great exercise and getting you outdoors but you could rake it 20 bucks or so per dog.
6. Become a tutor – Did you always excel in math in high school? How about always that guy playing guitar at parties? Well if it’s the case you may want to take into consideration the old saying “Never do anything your good at for free”. Post ads on craigslist as a tutoring service. Once you have a few good references you will have no problem landing more gigs.
7. Garage Sale – Remember that “great” set of plate’s grandma gave you last Christmas? Or how about the digital camera you never use because your iPhone is better. Well if you have enough of these things lying around, sell them. Have a garage sale; make sure to post on Craig’s list and in your local newspaper. If at all possible organize multiple garage sales with neighbors, this will increase the overall traffic.
8. Recycle - Back in college we were avid recyclers. That is we had plenty of empty beer cans and no money so we would recycle once a month and actually bring in enough cash to have a party. It was great.
That’s all I have for you today, but will most likely have a part 2 in the next couple weeks. As always if you would like more information about getting paid for online surveys check out our website at www.cashbetweenclasses.com.
