Dozens of Ways to Earn Extra Income

If you’re feeling the pinch and would like a little extra side income to help cover some bills or get you back on track - or even to save some money for a special occasion like a vacation or a wedding - then you need to know the tips that Five Cent Nickel has been giving for those who are looking for some extra cash. Few of the ideas will make you rich but they will put some dollars in your pocket. Some of the best include:

• Get a paper route - that you can fit in before or after work, and get some exercise with it
• Do some baby-sitting or pet-sitting - they pay surprisingly well
• Get involved in marketing focus groups
• Sell your used textbooks, and other extra stuff you have around the house that you no longer use much
• Become a tutor if you have decent knowledge in some subjects - you don’t have to hold a PhD in mathematics to be able to help an eighth-grader
• Hire yourself out on weekends to do gardening work or other home handyman type tasks
• Do some cleaning work, either for offices or homes
• If you speak a second language, offer your services as a casual teacher or for language exchange programs
