Short Of Cash? Debts Piling Up? Ask Yourself "How Can I Earn Extra Income?"

By John Farcikan

If you're lying in bed at night, unable to sleep thinking 'how can I earn extra income', remember there are millions of people like you who are strapped for cash, battling to eke out an existence in the doom and gloom of the present global economic downswing. Even if you've got a job, the money you're earning most likely flies in and flies out and, oh no, you're broke again.

Single parents are really being hit by the hard times. Getting a second job is no solution - you're already short of time, juggling yourself between work and the kids. Well, frankly, you're going to have to kick your own butt, get some creative juices flowing, and think of a way to earn extra money in your spare time. Stop asking 'How can I earn extra money?' Get out and do it!

Ever thought of offering your services as a child sitter? You'll be surprised at just how many parents require the services of a reliable child sitter. And you can do this at home, which means you can still be with your own kids. You'll be equally surprised at how many extra bucks you can earn by doing this over the weekends or even in the evenings.

If the thought of caring for other kids in addition to your own, you may want to consider dog sitting. Good dog sitters are always sought after because dog-lovers are very particular about who looks after precious 'Fluffy' when they take a weekend vacation. Once you've established yourself as a reputable dog sitter, you could even offer extra services such as bathing and grooming.

Lots of people are earning a regular stream of extra income by doing surveys for marketing companies. All you need do is search for an online survey site, register, and complete a personal profile (they'll ask you about your likes, dislikes, hobbies etc). If you qualify, you'll be sent regular surveys and be well compensated.

If you don't have a family to support, there's a lot more scope for making extra money, but you've got to be prepared to drop your standards if necessary. You're in no position to pick and choose!

A good example is a paper route - you might turn your nose up at this under the misconception that it's a job for kids. In fact, taking on a paper route can earn you an extra $400 per week.
