Doing private work is always a good idea..I have a friend that does graphics/photo restoration and he makes a few bucks doing that also in his spare time..
mechanic work is great many could use you for that including me Sounds like your a jack of all trades and you wont have any problems making it in this crappy economy..peace,sugarcookie1

I have a tremendous amount of respect for persons such as yourself. Keep up the great work! The satisfaction of helping ones self is a great feeling. s&f b2n

Good to see you have taken control of your life. Better than sitting around and complaining. There are a lot of ways to make extra cash if a person wants to. Most people don't understand that what is at the end is what we work with. If you make 3000 a month and your expenses are 2500 a month that gives you five hundred to buy food and entertainment, clothes, and to save for emergencies. Adding three hundred a month to that increases quality of living considerably unless you spend the extra on things you want but don't need.

I make things, I scrap silver silver coins harvested from my cash register at work. I do odd jobs involving the use of concrete. On occasion I make paper mache zombies and Halloween props. People pay well for such things

Bartending for the1%

I am working one full time and three part-time jobs non stop. That's what I do for extra money.

I work as pornstars, its easy job, few hours only but the preparations are about a week in advance. The pay are very good, the more depriving the more you get. Contracts usually on monthly basis and I have few contracts per month.

Err, wait.. thats not me, damnit.

I trade the forex, just like GBP/JPY, as they say - Follow the money!

Raise and sell pigs and piglets and goats and chickens and eggs.

Also grow small sunflowers and monster zinnias and sell fresh at our roadsidefarmstand.The sunflower seed used for bird feed works great and germinates well... and is only bucks for a 6lb bag. I plant them every other day in 12 foot rows and have them all season... what doesn't sell goes back as feed for my pigs.... high in protein.

Also grow purple top turnips to use as pig feed... a thousand seeds are only about 4 bucks and will produce thousands of 1lb turnips and greens.. which I eat and also sell to roadside stand customers.

We sell firewood by the stack or pickup truck load.

I also scan all the local craigslist ads within an hour drive for seasonal products to sell... we are almost sold through on pumpkins for Halloween at the stand... I bought them at 2 bucks a pumpkin any size.... and got only the biggest and sold them for 4-7 bucks based on shape, size, quality... even with gas and driving.. I turned 100 dollars into almost 300 dollars... I am turning 40 bales of hay I bought at 1 dollar a bale, because the farmer's barn was full and rain was on the way, into 120 dollars.

I also sell primitive farm furniture I make from discarded pallets and packing crates... the rough sawn boards and natural dings and nail holes give each piece a sense of age and use... can take a large crate meant to ship UTV wagons and "gators" and make "old style" kitchen hutches and chests and "ice boxes"... old nails and screws and mismatched hinges and knobs add authenticity.... buy some mismixed paint from the supply store...then a coat of shoe polish quickly wiped off gives it age... can make 50-250 bucks.

Plus stuff from the home garden and vineyard... grapes, tomtoes, peppers, apples, gourds, beans, egg plant... what doesn't sell goes into the canning jar, freezer, or pig pen as feed.

Plus, I work a regular retail management job...

I sleep really well at night.

If i could give you 20 stars i would! This is what it takes to make extra money and make a good profit doing it..
I love all your ideas..

I really like the primitive farm furniture idea from old pallets..You have so many good ideas I'm going to have to look into doing some of this i bet old barn wood would work good for kitchen hutches and chests i have a ton of that from a old barn a neighbor tore down..thanks for posting..peace,sugarcookie1

Extra money is extra money, but can we keep doing this if the prices skyrocketing ?
What happen if recession ? People wont buy/hire coz they also dont have money.

The best seems to be - into agriculture. Raising chicken, corns etc etc
At least we have the food, am I right ?

I think AlreadyGone up there the best winner.
