We all have seen internet posts about the key to having financial freedom is to have multiple streams of income, and to an extent, they are correct for the average person (non-CEO, athlete, etc). The problem is those articles never post how you can make extra money or if they do, it requires you to pay something to begin. Terrible! Today I will help identify ways to help bring in more money, but remember when the extra money comes in, DO NOT spend it on things you want. Spend it to pay down bills that you owe. Let's begin...
1. A part time job- This might not be a popular option, but it seems many citizens are not working a full 40 hour week to begin with so a 2nd job will be a great way to make extra money. 10-15 hours per week will really add up over time.
2. Take online surveys - Everyone wants to know what the consumer thinks, buys, and the demographic of people buying their product so why not get paid for it? The price of the survey varies wildly depending on the company, product, and the website.
3. Tutoring - I would think we all have a skill that someone would find useful, so why not get paid to show someone else? I have been personally doing this for years and prices can vary if you do it personally or through an agency, but you could look to make around $8 - $45 per hour. The more complicated the subject matter, the higher you can charge. Some people are professional tutors so the money is there to be made.
The above are just three ways to increase your earning potential and create some extra income, but it's summer, so an honorable mention must be given to cutting grass. Just remember the money is out here to be made, but make the money, don't let it make you!
