Traditional Ideas

. Overtime

While overtime doesnt seem to be an interesting option to most of us but when you are in the need of money and are looking for an extra income, you shouldnt hesitate to go for overtime. One of the easiest ways is to volunteer overtime at your office. Talk to your supervisor today and let him know that you are available for overtime.

2. Employee Referral Program

Does your employer offer an employee referral program? Do they offer a bonus to the employees for referring new employees? If so, this is your chance to start referring employees.

If there is no active employee referral program, why not give a suggestion to your employer and let them know that you can help them by referring employees if they set up a program.

3. Customer Referral Program

Most of the employers and businesses run an active customer referral program where employees get a bonus for referring new customers. If this is the case with your organization, you should actively participate in the program by referring a good chunk of customers. You can earn a lot based on the number of customers you refer. By the way, this is the easiest money you will ever make.

4. Do an Ugly Job

There are certain jobs at every workplace that nobody wants to take. These ugly jobs can be a source of extra income for you. The ugly job can be an actual task or a trip that no one wants to do. All you have to do is let your supervisor know that you are willing to take any ugly job for extra cash or overtime.

5. Home Sit

How about helping someone in home sitting for a fixed price? There are a lot of people who want some reliable to take care of their home when they are not around. You can find home sitting jobs in the local newspaper, online referral sites, or you can talk to your neighbors and tell them that you are willing to home sit for extra cash.

6. Baby Sit

Babysitting is not one of the best and the most interesting jobs but when you need extra cash, you shouldnt hesitate to babysit for a few hours. You can easily earn $50 in a couple days babysitting a child.

7. Pet Sit

Do you have the love for pets? Well, you can make a decent extra income by pet sitting a few pets in your town. Pet sitting is easier than babysitting as pets are easy to manage to handle. Also, depending on the pet, you can pet sit at the clients house or take the pet to your place.

8. Part-Time Jobs

There are temporary part-time jobs that can pay you exceptionally well such as summer part-time jobs for students. This is something that can be done easily especially if you do not have a full time job. Look for seasonal temporary part time jobs in the local newspaper or online on sites like Craigslist or your local town recreation department.

9. Move Furniture

If you can move furniture and other heavy stuff easily and you dont mind doing it for money, better check Craigslist for furniture moving jobs. A lot of people dont hire a professional moving company as these are too pricey and this is where you have a better chance to get a job. For example, instead of moving an entire houses furniture, someone would hire you to help move a heavy couch, dresser, etc.

10. Cleanups

There are people who are too busy to clean their homes. You can help people clean their homes for a fixed price. Also, many banks would hire such cleanup services to clean newly repossessed homes. You will find quite a few people in your neighborhood who will willingly pay you a decent amount of money to clean their homes.

The good thing is that you dont have to go any far for this type of extra work.

12. Setup Pools

Reach out to people or check Craigslist to see if there are people who are in need of pool setup and maintenance services. Once you have set up a pool, you should contact the owner again at the season end when it has to be closed. Usually, pool owners will have you come back weekly or biweekly to maintain the pool, which means more extra income for you.

13. Do Decoration
