With the cost of groceries, fuel and interest rate rises; many are finding their money is stretched to breaking point. However with a bit of initiative, there's the opportunity to earn extra money easy! Of course the most logical way to earn more money is to ask the boss for a raise, get a second job or change your career.
Deliver newspapers and junk mail –"Walkers Wanted" are always being advertised in the papers for an immediate start. Save money on gym memberships by getting lots of exercise while earning some extra money.
International student boarding: If you have a spare room, have a student board with you. Contact colleges and universities in your area to apply.
Mow lawns: You can earn extra money with very little outlay, especially if you own a lawnmower. Put flyers in your suburb's letterboxes or knock on homeowner's doors to offer your services.
Nanny or Childcarer: Many parents are looking for people to occasionally look after a child on an evening or pick them up after school. Put a cheap ad in the paper or ask your friends.
Cleaning or Ironing: With so many women working now, there is always the demand for someone to clean for a few hours a week or do their ironing. Ironing can be done at your house or theirs. What's even better - you can be earning extra money ironing while watching T.V. or a DVD.
Markets: Sell crafts, homemade cakes, or lots of other things at the markets. To be successful, find a niche that someone else is not selling and choose the best times of the year, such as holiday times. For markets in your area go online to Google and type in "markets (your suburb)".
Sell Stuff on Ebay: Lots of people are earning extra money on Ebay by selling things they want to get rid of or make. If you haven't got anything to sell - visit garage sales and pick up quality items. A friend of ours did this and picked up an antique clock for a few dollars and sold it on Ebay for $350. If you have an eye for antiques, it's easy and you can earn a nice sum of money.
