#4: Babysit for Friends or Neighbors!

When my first baby was born, I was working part-time at my local hospital.  My hubby worked earlier in the day, and I worked later in the afternoon/early evenings so we could spend as much time as possible with our sweet little guy.  However, he still needed to be watched for 2 hours each afternoon.

It was sooooo hard to leave him, but I had 2 different friends that volunteered for the job!  One did it for the first few months, and then when she wasn’t able to anymore the next one took over.  I paid them for 2 hours each day, and I loved that I knew my baby was being doted on by my sweet friends!  It worked out great for them too, because it was a nice little side hustle to make extra cash from home!  So if you’ve got friends, family, or neighbors that you think might need help with their kids, just let them know you’re available!

#5: Have a Garage Sale!

We’ve all got clutter around the house, so we might as well make some money off of it, right?  Hosting a garage sale at least once per year is the perfect way to clear out that clutter while stashing away some extra cash!  I can’t even tell you how many garage sales I’ve had over the years, and ending up with a clean house and a wad of cash is always a nice feeling! 🙂

#6: Take Care of Pets for Friends or Neighbors!

Another great way to earn extra money from home is by helping out with people’s pets!  Whether it’s walking a Dog each day while they’re at work, or taking care of their pets while they’re gone on vacation {feeding the Backyard Chickens, feeding the cats, taking care of the Dogs, etc}… taking care of pets is a great way to earn extra money!

Let your friends, family, and neighbors know you’re available and ask them to help get the word out with people they might know that are interested.  You may even want to create business cards or flyers and ask if you can post them at your local coffee shop.  I’ve even seen lots of pet sitter’s cards and flyers posted on the bulletin board at my local Tractor Supply store.  It’s such a simple way to get the word out!

#7: Cut Your Expenses in Half and Make Your Money Last!

Saving money is a job?  Well sure it can be!  Rather than spending at your current spending level, if you took just a few hours a day to learn how to slash your expenses in half, you’ll need a lot less money to pay those bills!

Being frugal and saving money is one of the easiest ways to find extra money.  Make your money go further when you spend less using these clever tips…
