Extra income for single moms?

August 22, 2008 4:51pm CST
I'm a single mom, and like all the rest of them out there, have times where I struggle to make it on my full time job, and even with added child support. Any suggestions for added income (I'd be happy with $100-200 a month)? I'm not looking for scams, nor really any home business that requires a start up cost and me having to do parties. Would love to hear ideas!!

I am married and work but I make a few extra dollars from different programs. I have my favorite sites posted on my profile or you can put in a friend request and I will send you some great sites that i know that pay. There is also several paying social sites as well. Really depends on what you like to do online.

Thank you, I will look at your profile. I'm new and still figuring out how to be a good "mylotter" so as soon as I figure out how to add you as a friend, I will do that. Appreciate your input.

I put in a friend request for you. I haven't made over 25 dollars a month yet but I am working on it. :)

Well, you have found one way of making some extra money but it isn't going to earn you that kind of money but you will have some fun here too. I really don't know of many places online to earn like that unless you can sell on ebay. I do that and make a little extra money but not that much every month. I wish I could. Have you ever thought about a paper route? I know that they pay fairly well.

Thank you! Yes, I've sold things on Ebay too, but mainly just things that I didn't need anymore, and I don't always have things laying around the house to sell. I'd love to open my own ebay store but I don't know what to sell that would be profitable and wouldn't take too much money out of my pocket initially. I've heard paper routes do pay well, but then I'd have to debate whether it's enough to lose sleep over, since most are at weird times of the night! Thanks for your input!
