The Same Question Haunts Me Day In And Day Out... How Can I Earn Extra Income?

By John Farcikan

Lying in a cold sweat every night, tossing and turning, thinking non-stop 'how can I earn extra income'? Well, you sure aren't the only person! The economic crash is having a nasty impact on everyone, and even multi-million companies are cutting corners to save every cent. Little wonder therefore that the poor man-in-the-street is facing desperate times. Even those lucky enough to be employed find themselves short of cash every month.

How can I earn extra money? This critical question is particularly relevant if you're a single parent struggling to make ends meet with the meagre wage you're getting at your day job. You'd love to be working two jobs but where's the time? Well, you've got to think of something that's going to keep the wolf from the door. Get creative and get out there and sell yourself.

You could consider child sitting as an option. Trustworthy child sitters are in huge demand these days and, if you love kids, you could find child sitting a rewarding and well paid experience. Plus you get the bonus of being at home to look after your own children. You can do child sitting on weekends and even at night.

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.

For those who don't have the responsibility of kids, your options to earn extra money are broader. Just remember though, don't be fussy about what you might have to do to get this extra cash.

What about doing a paper route? Paper routes are not only for kids on bikes. These days adults with transport can earn up to $400 a week doing a paper route! Chat to the editor of your local rag and find out if there are any routes not being serviced.
