Inspired by Joyous_5's recent inquiry about debt, and the ideas that came out of it for increasing income, I thought it would be fun to think of all the ways we could get more money. Nothing is too small, or too wild, for this list. It doesn't matter if it takes a lot of time or a little. Throw it out there! Let's see how many we can think of. I'll start with a few:
1. Petsitting
2. Mid-day dog walks
3. eBay extra crap laying around the house
4. Babysit someone's kid while they go to the movies
5. Rip the old insulation out of someone's attic (I did this. Yuck. But I got money for it and it wasn't hard.)
6. Start a blog
7. Deliver newspapers
8. Make and sell a craft on Etsy
9. Make and sell cake pops for neighborhood birthday parties
10. If you have an appropriate space at your disposal, host baby or wedding showers. The guests would pay you to do all the set up and clean up! They can just come and fête!
11. Rent out a spare room (air bnb?)
12. Rent out your garage
13. Rent out your little-used tools or canoes or bikes or whatever on some of those person-to-person rental sites (Zilok, SnapGoods, or Rentalic)
What else? Like, how many variations on petsitting can we think of, or babysitting? How many mutations of online sales? How many opportunities to sell writing or other non-tangible knowledge?
Unleash the creativity, people!!!!!
P.S. Keep the numbering going so we know how many ideas we think up.
P.P.S. Let's avoid getting into analyzing the feasibility of the ideas. Let them flow!!!
