A few questions to start:
- Are you broke?
- Do you worry about where your next paycheck will come from?
- Have you been pulling your hair out due to financial stress?
Many of us have those moments.
It can be difficult to cope with a poor financial situation.
When the money just isn’t there, your choices are kinda limited.
It’s discouraging when there are things you want to do and you’re unable to afford to do them. There’s a whole world to explore, but you need cash before you can start living life to the fullest.
Wouldn’t you love to learn how to make some extra money without spending it?
It isn’t as difficult as it sounds!
Consider these ideas to bring in extra money without having to spend some to get started:
create a service using your talents
Everyone’s good at something.
Most of us even have a talent that can be monetized.
Talents like these can be turned into profitable services:
- writing
- website design
- public speaking
- playing a musical instrument
- humor
- singing
- anything
Try this:
Compile a list of your talents and see if there’s a demand for any of those skills.
sell something online
There are thousands of websites which allow people to post classified ads for free.
Look through your basement or storage units and make a list of items that could be sold. You can create a small business selling second hand items for a profit. This process is called “product flipping.”
Post items for sale on Craigslist, eBay or any online marketplace.
Packaged services
How many times have you stumbled upon a pamphlet with a company offering a wide range of interesting services?
It might be a good idea for you to combine different related services and sell them as one package.
Example: if you’re a good writer, you could offer a range of services like:
- writing articles
- editing
- proofreading websites
- creating resumes
- any other service that could capitalize on your writing skills
You can make a decent living doing this and it’s completely free.
The internet is a great way to advertise your services.
get paid to sit
There are plenty of people who need help with these tasks and they’re willing to pay well if you have the free time for them:
- Babysitting
- Housesitting
- Petsitting
Consider creating a pamphlet offering these services.
Leave them on local billboards or pass them out in your neighborhood. Remember to include a phone number or email address. Oh, and ANSWER the messages that are serious and prep for weirdos to contact you because it happens.
Word-of-mouth marketing is one of the best ways to spread the word. If you do a good job, your clients will recommend you to their friends.
teach
Everyone has knowledge that they can pass on to others. Teaching can be fun, rewarding and profitable.
Figure out what you can teach and then find people who would pay to learn it.
There are websites that allow members to create an online classroom and teach people a specific skill, like Udemy or Teachable. These sites often allow teachers to charge their own rates.
Prepare a course on a topic that interests you and then teach it.
If your students love it, they’ll recommend it to others, and your business will boom.
As you can see, there are many ways to make money without having to spend it.
All that’s required is a touch of creativity and a “go-getter” attitude.
Mix those two with determination, and you have a recipe for success.
Before long, you won’t have to keep worrying about how you’re going to pay the bills next month.
YAY for that!
