There is one very common epigram that says, “Money attracts money”; but what if we don’t have money to attract money. Should we stay idle and make joker out of ourselves or should we go hunt for the jobs?
There is money in every step we take if we can make right decision at right time and work out the planned idea. I have tried to explain some five common and easy ideas that we can work with to generate money, at times when we are out of job and out of business.
1. Sell Your Stuff
For many people, the most difficult part of holding a garage sale is finding the time to plan and set one up. If you're unemployed, planning and running a garage sale is a great way to keep busy and make a little extra cash in the process.
You can also sell stuff online at websites such as eBay, Amazon Marketplace,Craigslist, and more.
2. Online Writing.
Today, online writing jobs are one of the best ways to make money. These jobs are convenient for the basic reason that you need to travel anywhere and waste valuable time traveling, and avail all the free time, and make best use of it. Besides, there is no basic qualification needed as a perquisite for you to be applicable in this field. Anyone who has good language skills, and can essay on the given topic can make career writing. Well, even the investment you put in to begin is as good as zilch, since every home has a computer and an internet connection in the present times. All you need is the time to jot a few lines!
There are a number of online writing jobs and options. Some of them are-
Content writing
Freelance Writing job
Data recording
Blogging
Technical Writing
Creative writing
Medical Transcription... And many more.
3)Get paid to shop
This one is only for you if you:
are self-disciplined
are only using it to buy something that you are definitely going to buy anyway
have searched online shopping sites to make sure that you cannot get a better deal elsewhere for whatever it is you are buying.
A Cashback site is a website that pays a small amount of money back to you after you have made a purchase. They also offer small ‘credit’ incentives for bringing friends in to join – but you only actually get that credit once those friends have spent some money. So you may want to be careful about who you recommend such sites.
Cashbackshopper is one of the better ones because it makes no admin charges and passes on all the money that it gets from the retailers. They will also give you £5 ‘credit’ for signing up (but you have to have spent a certain amount of money before you can get this) and they offer the £5 credit incentive for referring a friend.
If you have no credit card debts and want to make money on purchases that you HAVE to make AND you are self disciplined you can try the American Express Platinum cashback credit card for the first three months you get 5% cash back on all your spending up to £100. This isn’t worth doing if you have outstanding credit card debts – pay those off first.
4) Do some freelance writing. There are online options (such as ehow). Think about what you are good at and start from there.
5) You can make extra money reviewing products that you buy or use. Almost any type of product can be reviewed, including food, electronics, toys, cars,or household items. Here's how to make some extra cash giving your opinion on just about any product you can think of.
Instructions
Find websites that will pay you to write product reviews. Associated Content, Bukisa and other article writing sites will pay you either directly for each review, or for the amount of page views your article generates. If you're clever, you can use the same review on multiple sites to generate even more cash. Just make sure you read the guidlines carefully at each website you're writing for, and understand when and where it's ok to use the same article.
Write your product reviews as soon as possible after using an item, especially if you're doing a food product review. You'll want to have it fresh in your mind so you can write the best article possible.
Save any packaging or user's guides for the products you want to review, or at least take down relevant notes before you throw it away. You may need information to enhance your article, including getting the name of the product exactly right.
