extra money

LovingYou · Feb 10th, 2010, 11:01 AM

For those of you who don't have jobs (i would be one of them

) how are you making extra money?

Right now i have been babysitting most days out of the week which is bringing in an extra $100-200 a week, but as we all know that goes very fast when we have to pay for gas for the car and baby necessities.

So i've been coming up with some ideas like making homemade candles/soaps and friendship bracelets and selling them locally.

Also, i'm not sure if you girls in Europe can do this, but garage sales? Like one weekend every 2-3 months just sell all the extra stuff around the house that we don't need. Like i got rid of all my books from when i was younger and random crap i had laying around that i didn't need anymore.

Let me know if you guys have any ideas

I do photography when I'm not working, like shooting weddings, couples, babies etc. Brings me about £400+ a month.

I have a job, but it really doesn't bring much to the table...my last check wasn't over $200...

I still get social security checks from when my dad died, those are 1300 a month...

That's about it. Once I stop getting those checks I'm done for. lol

Yea I know how tht is. I worked at Aeropostale at the mall here but I only got like $200 per check which is NOT enough. And I work seasons. So that's not much money. :/

I've thought about doing free lance make up (im really into it and have been thinking about doing it for a while), also making candles etc and making an e-store...theres always ebay haha!

other than that ive got a job bringing in about £200 a month

i've just got a new job but not too sure if they'll keep me on when they find out im pregnant

or that would be an extra £1000 a month!

Have you thought about doing something like delivering Avon catalogues? I used 2 do this a few years ago and depending on the amount of customers you get you can earn a fair bit, and also i LOVED the cheap cheap catalogue you get for workin for them ( the discount is ace!! ) Im thinking bout starting it again once iv had bubs

Ann Summers parties are good for those over the age of 18. It's good for your social life and you earn money at the same time.

I do some webcam stripping for money at the moment, but that's just until my bump starts really showing! I used to be a model so I have loose morals which makes the job perfect for me

I work part time at a&f i make less than 200 a week, and I babysit for a neighbor and she pays really well, but one of her kids has severe autism, and the stress is so bad there I might quit.
