Hi, mylotters! What do you think are the other options to earn aside from online jobs? I am a full time mother and wanted to earn some extra to help my hubby financially. Hope you could help me.

I'm working full time but I'm also thinking of ways to help augment our family's savings. I thought of selling old, pre-loved stuff that just gathers dust at home. I realized that there were some clothes, bags and other knick-knacks that were just sitting inside our closets. I could probably sell them even half their original price, it's a start. Maybe you have old stuff which are still in good condition, you could probably sell those.
I also thought of selling food, like chocolate candies. I just need the capital to get started. If you have a hobby, probably making beaded accessories or that kind of stuff, you can make some and sell some. You would just have to have an initial capital to buy raw materials.

You can make chocolate candies without baking. You just have to melt the blocks, which you can buy in stores selling baking products/items, in a double boiler and pour them in molds. After a few hours in the refrigerator, they're ready to be eaten. :)

i think you can start a business at your home. you know sell some snacks, refreshments, and anything. like a home store. you know, you earn while still keeping in touch with your children. well just my opinion! good luck to you and your family!

Hello, jcbelle! Aside from earning online, you can earn money through recycling. You can collect things that you think to be unuseful. For example, you have a lot of scrap materials like metals plastics. You can sell it to the junk shop which pays you for that. If you have some scrap fabric and you have skills in sewing, you can make rags from it and you can sell it. Biodegradable materials such as leftovers, banana peelings and other can be a fertilizer. Just bury it in a pit then after a week the compost was prepared. You can also sell it. You can save money through repairing. If you have appliances that are not functioning, instead of replacing it with a new one, try to repair it. This is a better way to save more. I hope this might help you, happy mylotting...=)

thanks, for the response boogerman. I appreciate it. Actually, I alsosell those plastics and other stuff which can be sold to a junk shop. I started doing it just last year. I realized that even those garbage you have in the house has value. Though it is not that much but it helps a lot.
