Hello my lot friends. would you guys have any other ideas to earn extra where you do not need to get stuck on internet sites, or where you do not need to be online, etc? I feel lately, chances of being scammed both online and offline just to find extra money is getting bigger, and our needs are getting huge too - sometimes our employment salary is not enough anymore.. =(
what is your extra income opportunity, ideas?

I agree that putting up a small business will solve your problem. Take inconsideration of something that you are fond of doing that might turn up into a small business. For example if you are a photography enthusiast, starting with small services just like ID pictures or going into events might be a good start. Then in the long run, if this turn out good, you might have a good source of income in the future and there is also a big chances of making this your major source of income

I have a ton of books and once I finish reading them I take a bag full to the used bookstore and get some cash back there. That way isn't the best way to earn a lot of extra money but it's something! I also babysit a lot, this past Saturday I babysat for $100. I charge $5 per kid that I'll be watching, this is an easy way to earn money because a lot of people are always looking for a sitter. Plus, babysitting is a fun job, you get to play and be a kid and you're in charge so when you want the kids to go to sleep, you can tell them to head to bed and then you have a few hours to yourself and you're getting paid for that!

Legitimate massive residual income can only be derived from MLM/networking but the trend is via online. True, there are many scams around but not all of them are. Choose the one that doesn't require much capital, is sound and provides residual income. It has to be easy to do as well since there are lots claiming to be such. Last year was my first attempt at it and 8 months later, I succeeded in hitting an income over USD3,400.00 in a month. Therefore, I can say that not all online businesses are scams. Good luck.

Well where I at in the US I donate plasma (blood) to earn a little extra cash. I go twice a week and make $80.00.
They have monthly specials where you make more if you donate more. I tend to make $300 to $400 a month and I'm helping out someone else too.

I would suggest tutoring some kids in a subject you know well such as math and English. Also, you can give lessons in a musical instrument like piano or guitar. My sister makes some good extra money doing that. It's rewarding and fun at the same time too. You could always babysit too.

You will probably grow to hate this, but when I needed extra, I would do telemarketing from home for local companies and also I would deliver fliers. You might not get much as we are in a recession but it would help to pay down some of the bills. Other then that, there is the if you have a skill, you can use it to make money. Now that does not work very well up here in Canada but down in the States, they still allow you to sell cookies or things you made in your home.

This is the big question. Here in South Africa it costs more to use the internet compared to earn online. I have thought of a printing business. for wedding invitations, flyers, and all that kind of stuff. the best business is usually to buy and sell, but the question is 'what?". I have started baking from home but it's very slow to make money after you spent money. but, it may just work after a while.

Well, I am now working as an author, journalist, and motivational trainer. So, I've got a lot of income already besides online. Sometimes I also sell my seminar DVD to gain extra income, or teaching private English to people around my house.

Hello Chiyosan,
Actually, i really want to get out of this being online addict. knowing not only that it's not helping me paying the bills, it's costing more time in the internet. where i should be working in some company. i tried to settle for eyes business but i don't get customers to buy for me every single day, but almost once a week or month.
As i recall? you had call center work? isn't it worth the job? sometimes, online earning isn't really for every one.

Hi
If you want an extra income offline, would suggest a sandwitch or juice center. It is instant food and liked by all. Not much of investment is required initially. Also it is not very difficult to make a sandwitch or juice.
Also if you have any hobby you can utilise it for earning some good money. Start with your immediate friends, relatives and neighbors. You will find many customers there.
Happy working!!!

I've tried telemarketing before, I hated it a lot and I quit on the first day, I didn't even work the full day there. It was boring and people were always annoyed that I called them and bothered them and wasted their time with the offers and most of them just wanted to be removed from the list. So not for me but if you're desperate, why not.
