What do you do when you're a little short of cash?
I like to write extra articles, which I earn around $20 each for per day for the first 3 days or so, and then it gradually tails off to about $0.50 per day.
How about you?
Do you have any hints or tips about what to do to make a little extra cash?

Hi! For extra money I do some easy online jobs from Microworkers, Rapidworker and the new one is MicroJob, they even give bonus when you sign up. Good luck. Happy earning!

I am here on myLot trying to type more. I did try the tasks, but felt the amount of time I spent trying to research for the article which was on talking about the use of a product, detracted from the amount of money I did make. Of course, I could have a garage sale, but I am unlucky in selling anything myself and if i put it on ebay I would get cheated.
So here I am typing more and if they changed the rules on Helium and Associated Content and allowed Canadians to get paid for their actual work and not just the page views, I would be there as well.

I also write articles, or do some translations for private clients I have. It works pretty well, it doesn't take so much time, and it pays pretty well.

I have not been lucky enough to make that much in a day, but I really need to.
What site are you on that you can make that in one day if you don't mind sending me a message I would be very interested. I am just on here and a few other sites.

I write a lot of reviews for Review Stream if I'm short for cash, I try to get my $50 and I usually get it once a month, but I'm taking a little break from it now to do some other writing but I always seem to write for them the most.

For extra money, i spend my extra time in kooday. It is a sort of keyword trading where we invest in keywords and when someone buys the keyword from you, you will get an additional 15% profit, if someone makes a link to the keyword you own, you too will receive 50% of what he/she paid. Totally i invested $15 and now i have $68 in total and am having residue income from the profit-share-credit from the transactions which currently for me is around $5-$6 a week. When you have referred someone there are commissions paid each time they buy KeyWords or link a Website. You receive 10% on Keyword purchases and 30% on website links. For details, you can see the link from my profile.

Hi Gemma,
That's a pretty good chunk of cash to earn on the side. Where do you write the articles that pay that well? Me...I sell my incense burners on the side. It brings in some extra cash but it is not dependable at all. Some weeks I do great and others...not so great. I used to babysit and also work in apartments, cleaning and also carpenter's labor helping to get them ready for next tenents.

For right now the only things that I am doing so that I will have a little bit more cash than I am used to having is typing comments and discussions here on my lot. I also installed the Cash Gopher, so I will see how that one will work out for me. Additionally, I do like to do quickrewards as well and have a survey site where I take one survey a month and get a check for $10 every other month. I really need to start writing for cash as well, but I haven't been able to find the time in the day to do that yet.

I write for extra money. I usually write for Review Stream, Triond and Helium. I can usually get quite a bit of money for my writing so I'm very happy. I never thought I could get money for my reviews.
