Making Extra Money On the Side

I think this is you of those things I think about at least 5 or 6 times a day. If it's not sex, girls trucks or food, it's money.
So in order to get some of that, said mentioned stuff you need a little extra money.

I'm looking specifically for ideas that can help people make an extra $100 or more a month in income. (Yes, we know it's easier to save that much than earn that much, but play along with me here.) I'm particularly interested in things YOU'VE done to earn a little money on the side, how much effort was involved and how much you made per hour.

I'd love to come up with at least 100 ideas.... can you help??

I some time visit those penny stores, like Salvation Army store. We have a couple of them here. Another one is called Rebuilt Resources.

I shop for good stuff at reasonable prices. Then bring them home. Clean them up. Take some nice pictures of them then List them on Ebay or Kijiji.

i've done alot of the obvious things like shoveled snow in the winter, mowed lawns in the summer, raked leaves, etc..

I restore antique radios year round. Buy for $1-100 bucks, fix up, sell for $100-1K+ bucks. Epic win, in my book.


Usually, during very late winter/very early spring, I'll buy a row of pushmowers at an auction for ~ 100 or so. Fix em enough to get them running good (new spark plug, usually, sometimes a fuel line or carb. rebuild) and line em up outside for $40/mower.


Works darn well.

Awesome thread Glenn, I was actually thinking of starting one myself.

Side jobs bring in the most money, but I also recycle bottle and cans, run scrap metal, haul cars, plus my full time job.

Thanks Rob.
I'm thinking on putting an ad in the paper to do some back yard spring cleaning. I'll haul those scrap cars out in the fields to scrap.

i guess you could consider my hobby a side job since i make money off it. what was supposed to be my full time job is now just a side job cause i got a 2 year contract to remodel the nursing home my dad runs. so my shop building drag cars has turning into a car storage/weekend shop..

Bump.... Always good to get more ideas.

Since I've moved away from the old neighborhood, I still go back and maintain some of the elderly peoples yards. Cut their grass, trim trees, rake and gardening.

i just got them 2 new cars. im bout to start flippin them. once i get more money, and go to the auctions.

thats all i got at the moment. besides the usual 8-5 fer me.
