There are still a few part-time or seasonal jobs out there to make some extra money - - what do YOU do?
I enjoy working as an elections inspector for local and national elections. For 10 - 15 hours on the day of the lections (and a few hours of required paid training) I am able to make some extra spending cash- - meet oold friends again and do something important for my community as it is getting increasingly hard to find inspectors.
Anybody else an inspector? What do you do for extra cash?

It's easy to sell things. It's hard to get buyers. Online business is the easiest sales business to brake into though so you do have that going for you. Consider all the resources (blogs, newsletters, websites) that are out there to give people tips and hints on internet marketing. The hard thing is getting your site up and running if you don't have much web experience. And once you get that done (yes it can be done even if you know nothing about web design) you need to have your site Search engined optimized which is what can be really difficult if you do it your self or it can be really costly if you have someone else do it. I honestly think that America is no longer the "land of opportunity" but rather the internet is. Which is nice for a lot of people in say not so great countries. Good Luck to you!

How do you sign up for that job? I would like to do that. Right now I just use my online sites to earn extra money.

I love to make extra money, but I can't go out to work cuz I have two a little children to take care off. One is going to school and one is still a little, so I want to make money online. then I can take care of my children and work... in the future, I will go out and work as a real job.

That's a great part time job. Another rewarding part time job is at a nursing home. They are always in need of caring, kind hard workers. It like your job has other valuable rewards like your job.
I work almost full time in a nursing home and some days I feel as if I should be paying them to help people.
I think I could also love a job like yours that also helps me be involved in my community.

Though I'm in a full time work, much having a part-time work is good. It preoccupies you and tend to get more cash for the bills or for some goodies for the girlfriend or for the good, savings.

I have not worked part-time in a while as I have finished school and now work full-time. I used to work at an IT department and help the supervisor with inventory and maintaining the network and making sure that everything is working properly. For extra cash that is what I used to do but now that I work full-time I also have a job that is part-time and that is at the local library. I had started by volunteering and soon went in for a couple of hours. If needed that is something that can be done also, eventhough they at first didn't pay all that much for an hourly salary but making a couple of hundred per paycheck was a good deal. =)

Tutorial...it is very easy to earn money in this part time job because in just a few hours a day, you can actually earn it. However, you need devotion here because the tutted must really learn from you or you will be sacked from the job. Also, you must devote extra time here to study the lesson ahead of time before you conduct the tutoring.

I used to teach for extra cash. Now doing it is rather difficult since I am totally tied up with my office work. I clock out at 18:00 hours--that's 3 hours extra time. When I get home it's already late. My kids all have gone to bed.

My husband and I work in real estate, we buy foreclosure homes, and then flip them. So I am always on the computer, doing real estate, and always trying to find other ways to make some cash, especially now that the real estate market is down.

I think I might have to look into that too! I cant imagine it would actually be all that difficult.
Right now, I do security as a part time job. It pays much better than any other part time job I have ever had! It even pays better than some of my friend's full time jobs! It is really easy work. For the past year or so, I have been getting steady hours. There are other times when there isnt as much work available. I can always count on high school football games in the fall, though!
And there is also the internet for extra cash! I am slowly building that up. Hopefully it will some day be something a little bit more substantial!

I do a lot of freelance computer IT and repair for part time things, as well as help out a few places when they need with office-type things (like when people go on vacaction). I also donate plasma, which actually makes fairly good money and doesnt take overly long. Besides, the plasma center has internet and I can take the computer and work while I'm donating ;)
