Earn extra Money

Earn extra Money

If you have to juggle the demands of being a parent with your career or if you are a student looking for some extra cash, earning money at home might just be the answer you've been waiting for. I have been making money online for a number of years now and, although I haven't exactly struck it rich, I've been able to pay all of my bills from the comfort of my own home and set aside a bit for a rainy day.

If you want to earn extra money at home, the key is to figure out what you are best at and focus on that. Make a list of your skills and the things you enjoy doing, then research which of those are money makers.

For example, if you are good at writing, you can earn money by working at home as a content creator. You can write articles for blogs and websites, develop tests and other educational content or work as a ghostwriter for another author. If you are analytically-minded, consider working as a programmer and web developer. Your Logical skills and organizational ability will serve you well designing complex programs or assembling web pages for clients.

Some people prefer to earn extra money at home in more traditional areas of business. A good friend of mine runs a cottage industry selling beads over the web. He imports beads from all over the world and also designs some of his own. He makes about $2500 a month doing this. It's not a massive salary by any means, but it does allow him to do what he loves and leaves him plenty of time for his hobbies and other interests.

A lot of people who earn extra money at home like to combine multiple jobs. A good friend of mine is that sort of jack of all trades. She works as a part-time tutor in mathematics, does a bit of web development, has a paying blog column and picks up other jobs on the side.


Most of her gigs are between five and ten hours a week. Between all of her various sidelines, she manages to put together a full time schedule. She makes decent money working from home and is never bored; after all, she has a new and interesting project to start on every few days, which inevitably keeps her on her toes. Whether you are flexible like her, or really good at one particular thing, you may be able to make a living from your own house.
