Here are two ideas for earning extra money.  The first is being a ‘Convenience Mover.’  People buy furniture, appliances and other larger items that require a truck to move.  Many families don’t have access to a truck.  Why not earn some extra money being a ‘Convenience Mover.’  Place a low cost ad in your local papers classifieds, and/or a free ad in www.Craigslist.com and www.Backpage.com under Labor/Moving categories.  If you charge reasonable rates for the moving, you should be able to earn extra money for sure.  Be sure to pass out some homemade business cards (you can use free templates at www.avery.com) to the people and businesses you are picking the items up from, to get the word out on your little side business.

 

The second way you could earn extra money would be Dog Walking and Pet Sitting.  Let’s face it, Americans love their precious pets…even when they’re not so precious.  People can’t always take their kitty with them when they travel.  Why not advertise in the same sources mentioned above as a Pet sitter.  Depending on the needs of the Pet, you might stay in the home where the pet is located, or if you’re personal home is set up for it, you could watch the pet at your place. 

 

In addition, lots of people know that Fido should be walked but don’t quite get around to it.  By advertising your services as a ‘Dog Walker’ you could be putting some extra money in your wallet.  Copy some inexpensive flyers and pass it around in neighborhoods that you live nearby for even easier convenience.  Don’t forget to chat up the neighbors in the neighborhood you’re walking or sitting pets and have some homemade business cards ready to give out.  Neighbors are more likely to trust people who are working for their neighbors in the same neighborhood.

 

Sometimes the easiest money we can make is doing the simplest tasks.
