I want to make extra money on the side right now. I was hoping some of yall could tell me some other ways to make extra money. On the internet and off.

What are you passionate about? What things would you like to do? Are you creative? Would you want to make something to sell? Or do want to provide a service? Do you have a community night school type class opportunity? Maybe you could take a course in small business, see how hard it would be. Go to some trade shows and see what is popular right now. Computer services are always a good thing. Service, programing, etc. What do you think?

If you want to be your own boss, you should start putting up your own business :) There are a lot of things you can sell, just be creative. Don't jut rely on clothes, shoes, bags or accessories since the market is currently full of that. If you're good with baking, sell those cookies. Or for starters, do a garage sale :) If you're thinking online, there are a lot of sites that can cater to your needs :)

I'm not a good cook. Or baker. I have had several people try to teach me and I just can't get it.

I think it is good to work on the internet and also look for some part time job if you really want to make money.

Hey PikaPals, you can do something that you have passion for, I agree with Ayeeesha, you can make things and sale them as I do cakes or cookies, or be creative and knit or sew somethng that you could sell. Good Luck in what ever you do. I'm the Frugal Bree

If you are really serious about making money,then sky is the limit.First of all you have to observe your own capabilities,interests,passion(which may vary according to your upbringing,educational qualifications etc),risk taking capabilties,resources,patience level and few more parameters.This analysis will help you that wether job will be suitable or business will be suitable for you and once you are sure about this decision,you can move ahead accordingly.
