Creative Ways to Raise Extra Cash

So I know it's not always easy to work traditional hours in a work from home job when you have little ones at home to care for, so when I saw a neat article in the March issue of All You magazine about creative ways to raise extra cash and thought I'd share some of the ideas with you! You won't make millions, but if you are just looking for a little extra cash to pay off a bill, for groceries or other extras some of these ideas may be perfect for you!

1. Advertise on your car.  Folks are making $250-$400 per month doing this! Get more info at drivenmediaonline.com

2.Test websites. Testers earn $10 via paypal per test. usertesting.com

3.Participate in focus groups. Look for market research opportunities through Findfocusgroups.com

4.Perform business task. Mturk.com connects businesses with people who are trying to make a few extra bucks.  The tasks take at least 30 minutes and typically pay between $5 and $15.

5.Get paid to tweet. If you have twitter account, you can sign up for at sponsoredtweets.com.  Advertisers look here for tweeters to promote their brands.  If an advertiser thinks your account is a good match, you can then accept or reject. People are earning as much as $5 per tweet.

6. Are you artsy? Open an online boutique on Etsy and it's only 20 cents for 4 months! There are options to promote on Facebook and even create coupons.

7. Put your photos up for sale. If you take quality pictures, you can upload them to sites like shutterstock.com and get up to $28 per download.

I thought some of these were pretty neat ways to utilize your talents, and just fit into your every day life without taking to much time away from your other commitments.
