Great post! I have started doing some of these things recently for extra money, and others I’ve done in the past. I’m all about extra money right now as I’m working hard to quit my dreaded FT job.

Freelancing is what I prefer. I freelance copyediting and writing tasks. Based on experience, it pays a lot especially when I got some portfolio to show to clients. But, at first, it’s really hard to get a job, lots of competition especially with Americans and British. In the end, it boils down to skill set.

This post is awesome. I just put up an ad on craigslist, which I used to do often, but haven’t in a while. I’ve never tried fiverr either. I’d love to babysit though, and I think I will try this one too!

I’ll be asking for my raise in March and I’m also going to be selling stuff on Craigslist. I will start there and see how it goes! Good post.

Wow, I felt like you were yelling at me. 🙁

But I forgive you (sniff). I need the kick in the badoompa! I actually do plan on implementing some of these ideas. I’ll let you know how I do.

My goodness, you’re such a Drill Sergeant! Thanks! 😀

Funny seeing this post right now. I was in a meeting at work discussing offers for new hires when I found out that 2 of our close by offices have different pay levels. One is in downtown, one is in the suburbs. Since my transition to the downtown office involved me calling the office manager and asking him to work downtown, I never went through HR to take advantage of the extra money downtown. Well, I did today during the meeting. I just jokingly asked from across the table if I can get my pay bump and I got a yes.

Not a true negotiation, but I still wanted my pay bump.

I’ve done the Etsy thing, I started in the spring but now that it’s Christmas time I seem to be selling more. I should probably add more though…

I’m also a fan of selling our stuff (and also just gifting it away for free, I know, not helpful)

Tutoring is a great way to make a little extra money and it is easy to fit into a typical 9-5 work schedule. I charge $60/hour, which is more than I make hourly as a professional engineer. But the best part is that it is so rewarding for any kind of paid work. I love seeing the kids do well on tests and start to enjoy a particular subject.

I bookmarked this post. I participated in your survey, looking for fresh ideas on how to earn a side income. Thank you – I will be putting a lot of these to good use!

I made $40 on a pair of boots and a sweater this weekend after posting them on Craigslist. Not bad considering I forgot I even owned these items 🙂

I usually ask to meet-up at a public location by my apartment so I don’t have to provide my home address. I’ve encountered some pretty sketchy people selling on CL and there have been some horror stories on the news so you’re right to be weary!
