These ways of making extra money cover a wide range in terms of compensation and prestige. Check out the options to see what could work for you, keeping tabs on a projected per-hour rate so you can see what would be worth your time. The list is loosely arranged by 1. jobs requiring more skill or expertise, 2. gigs needing less and 3. things you can sell. And if you think of any good options I missed, please let me know in the comments.<\/p>\n
1. Forex Trading
\nWhat is Currency Trading?
\nThe term \u201ccurrency trading\u201d can mean different things. If you want to learn about how to save time and money on foreign payments and currency transfers, visit XE Currency Transfers.<\/p>\n
These articles, on the other hand, discuss currency trading as buying and selling currency on the foreign exchange (or \u201cForex\u201d) market with the intent to make money, often called \u201cspeculative forex trading\u201d. XE does not offer speculative forex trading, nor do we recommend any firms that offer this service. These articles are provided for general information only.
\nThe currency exchange rate is the rate at which one currency can be exchanged for another. It is always quoted in pairs like the EUR\/USD (the Euro and the US Dollar). Exchange rates fluctuate based on economic factors like inflation, industrial production and geopolitical events. These factors will influence whether you buy or sell a currency pair.<\/p>\n
2. Change jobs.
\nThis is the best way to boost your earnings, as you have the most leverage at the moment that a company wants you but isn\u2019t sure whether it can get you. Use that to your advantage in negotiations. Another benefit of getting a bump up when you switch jobs is that the percentage boost will be baked into all your future raises, elevating your lifetime earnings. Here\u2019s how to negotiate your salary.<\/p>\n
3. Request a raise.
\nGetting a raise is an excellent move because it doesn\u2019t require you to trade more time for more money. You are putting in the same amount of time, but pulling a bigger paycheck. But, it\u2019s always a bit tricky to ask for a raise when your company already has you at your current salary. You\u2019ve got to make a strong argument you deserve the increase. Here are the top 10 mistakes to avoid when asking for a raise.<\/p>\n
4. Freelance.
\nFreelancing is the next best thing to being paid more for your full-time work, because professional work always pays more than unskilled. To find opportunities, let former colleagues or other personal connections that you\u2019re available for freelance gigs. (Here are some ideas on how LinkedIn could be useful for that.) Or, post on marketplaces particular to your field. For instance, Mediabistro, a journalism site, allows freelancers to post profiles of their experience and services. Though these are more up to chance, designers can bid on jobs at 99Designs.com or submit a design at Threadless, to see if it will be crowdfunded. Elance-Odesk also lists many freelance opportunities, and you can also post your own services on Fiverr, although some freelancers say these services create a race to the bottom on fees and so are not very lucrative. If you\u2019re new to freelancing, here\u2019s how to set your rates, and here\u2019s how to negotiate raises with clients.<\/p>\n
5. Blog.
\nIf you have an area of expertise, you can create a website with ads and affiliate links, like blogger J. Money did (boosting his net worth $400,000 in 7 years) in and as Smart Passive Income guru Pat Flynn, who has so far earned $3 million blogging, does. Get Flynn\u2019s tips on how to create value for your audience.<\/p>\n
6. Coach.
\nIf you have enough experience in your field to coach others with their careers, then create a website \u2014 or, if you have one, add a section describing what you\u2019d offer as a coach. Advertise your services in industry forums and give new clients a discount or other incentives to refer you.<\/p>\n
7. Tutor.
\nWhether for high school students or adults, you can monetize your expertise by teaching people with less experience or knowledge than you in that subject area. You can work with an established group like Kaplan for, say, SAT tutoring, or you could try hanging out your own shingle and making your services known either to students, parents and schools in your community. If you are targeting adults, you can create your own website or list your services with adult tutoring companies.<\/p>\n
8. Teach an online course.
\nIf you have an area of expertise, instruct a course through a site like Udemy or Skillshare.<\/p>\n
9. Temp.
\nMany offices need temporary workers, so old-school companies like Kelly Services do still exist and list such opportunities. Indeed.com aggregates listings by location. Do an Internet search to find local listings.<\/p>\n
10. Cash in on your craftsy side.
\nDo you knit or make jewelry or create letterpress items? Sell your wares on Etsy, Cargoh, Craft Foxes and other such sites.<\/p>\n
11. Give tours of your city.
\nVayable allows you to guide tourscenteredaround a particular cultural experience. Some members\u2019 offerings include a Paris photography tour and a Queens tastes of the world tour.<\/p>\n
12. Get paid to run errands.
\nIf you\u2019re handy and generally available to run errands, sign up with TaskRabbit or Zaarly, or just put a notice up on Craigslist to get groceries for time-crunched people or do general handy person tasks for the useless-with-a-hammer set.<\/p>\n
13. Become a driver.
\nIf you\u2019ve got wheels, you can earn extra money shuttling around those without through Uber and Lyft.<\/p>\n
14. Wash cars.
\nEven if you don\u2019t have wheels yourself, you can spiff up those of your family, friends and neighbors.<\/p>\n
15. Walk dogs.
\nIf you have a flexible schedule and a passion for pets, ask friends, family or neighbors if they might need a dog walker. You can also post your services on dog walking sites.<\/p>\n
16. Wait tables or bartend.
\nAlmost anyone can wait tables, and if you know how to mix drinks, bartending can be a quick way to make extra cash. Both can be lucrative in tips. Read here to find out how to earn more in tips.<\/p>\n
17. Cater waiter.
\nTry Waiters to Cater or find a local company offering cater waiters, and sign up for opportunities.<\/p>\n
18. Clean homes.
\nUse a service like HomeJoy to find housecleaning opportunities.<\/p>\n
19. Mow lawns, rake leaves or shovel snow.
\nAgain, ask friends, family and neighbors if they\u2019d like to hire you for these services.<\/p>\n
20. Capitalize on your inner chef.
\nIf your cooking skills regularly impress family and friends, get paid to create memorable meals for clients with KitchenSurfing.<\/p>\n
