Everyone wants to be rich and earn as much money as possible especially when everything is so freaking expensive nowadays.
For me, I just like to earn and collect money. I do have few WANTS but I tend to DREAM about them more than buying them.
And due to my interest in collecting and earning money, there are few ways which I figure can help to earn extra income or to grow that pile of money.
1- Online
Write online reviews and online articles. Online reviews earn more but not permanent since you'll run out of things to review sooner or later. Online articles on the other hand, behave like real estates since they are there for longer term. I don't do PTC since to me, it's too meaningless and time consuming. Surveys? Most survey sites don't want people from my country. LOL.
2- Sell your old stuff on eBay
I'm not sure how this works since eBay is not that popular in my country. But I've heard stories about people selling their stuff successfully and earning quite a decent income. I normally sell my old PS3 games using a local forum. That's how I fund my new games - sell old, get some income and top up a little to buy a slightly newer game.
3- Invest
Holding cash close to you is good but it doesn't grow as much. Always invest your money somewhere like stock market, fixed deposit, trust fund, or if you're rich enough, properties. These investments will provide a stable income to you but always find out more about them before committing your hard-earned cash. A wrong step might make you lose more money, than actually earning them.
4- Freelance
If you're a skilled worker, you can get more contacts and start spreading words of your availability and skillset. Who knows, maybe you can attract some companies who are looking for freelancers. I personally have not done this before but some of my friends have experience (both bitter and sweet). They said it's bit hard to get money from the clients, but at least, it is still an opportunity. If you have experience on this, do share with us.
Those are some of my methods. Not sure about the rest. What about you? What is your way of earning that extra income?

I do lots of things online for money. It really comes in handy around the holidays. I writes articles for associated content, complete surveys, complete offers and a few other things here and there. I made about a hundred and fifty dollars last month so Im not doing too bad. Ive only made fourty this month but I havent been trying as hard and the month isnt over yet. If you want to check out some of my favorite sites check out my profile. Have a great day and happy earning my friend.

I've also earned around that much but mostly by writing online reviews, which sadly, cannot sustain. There are only THAT many products you can review after all.
