Things To Do To Make Extra Money

Posted in money, work at home at 8:42 pm

About a week ago I was visiting my mother who has been teaching middle school for almost 20 years. She was telling me how my step father lost his overtime pay, and had to take 1 day off per month without pay so there would be no layoffs in the company.

This just goes to show you how bad the economy is getting, and some experts believe it’s only going to get worse in the upcoming months.

My mother asked me what they could do to make extra money online. So this led me to create this blog post on what YOU can do to create extra money online from home in these rough times.

First you have to think of a skill you have. Almost everyone has some type of skill that can help other people. So you need to first find what you know or what you can do that will help others.

Here are 2 examples…

Example 1: My mother is a school teacher so I told her think of a problem most teaches have, and then think of away to solve this problem. If she can find a problem and find a solution to that problem she instantly has people ready to buy her solution to their problem.

Example 2: My step father is a plumber. I told him a lot of people don’t know how to do simple jobs around the house such as “how to fix a leaky toilet”, or “how to install a kitchen sink”. So I told him to write an e-book that teaches people how to do the little pluming jobs around the house such as the two I just talked about.

By him creating this e-book he will have found a solution that will not only help people, but it will also save them money since they will not have to hire someone to do the job.

As the saying goes there are a million ways to make a million dollars. Sometimes you just have to be a little creative and think outside the box. Not all the answers will just come to you. In fact I do my best thinking while I sleep. There have been hundreds of times where I wake up in the morning with new and crazy ideas.

If this happens to you wake up and write them down, and put your crazy ideas into action. Some will work and some will fail, but that is just part of business.

So remember, find a problem, and then create a solution for that problem. This will instantly get you people waiting to buy from you. Everyone has something they can take and turn into a product, and then sell that product online for extra money.
