Idea 10- Resume Writing Service

This is an idea that I wouldn't be good at. If you are good at filling out job applications and you are great at writing resumes then you could start a resume writing service. You could help others write up great resumes to help them apply for a job. I will be honest I don't know what one would charge for this but you could set your own price. People are right now having a hard time finding job. Having a business of this could be very helpful. You would have to get some resume paper and possibly some software. If this is something that your great at you could generate some cash with this. Advertise your services in the newspaper, social sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Linkedin. You could also put up flyers at places but get there permission and don't solicit. I'm not guaranteeing you'll make a lot of money with this. But you never know if you don't try. I thank you for reading my money making ideas online and offline blog.

Idea 9- Write a weekly or monthly newsletter

What are some of the things that interest you most in life? Do you like Sports? Let's say you like to watch Nascar. You could write a weekly or monthly newsletter and charge people say around $5 to $10 a month or maybe as cheap as $1 week. Of course the price is up to you? Many people build a website and then write a newsletter that they can charge people. I believe that if your going to go something in life and get paid for it you might as well try and do something you really love to. If you get a lot of people to purchase your newsletter on a monthly, weekly or yearly basis even you could make a decent amount of money. With gas prices as high as they are I don't think people need just a job but something on the side from home to do. An idea you could do before you start this is have all your stuff already prewritten on your computer that way when you come over once a week, once a day or once a month you would only have to go and type it in. I recommend doing a search on google about how to write a newsletter but this could be a great way to make some extra income. I hope this is helpful to you and I thank you for reading my Money Making Ideas Online and Offline blog.

Idea 8- Pet Sitting

Ok animal lovers ought to love this idea. If you love cats, dogs, birds or any animal for that matter you could try pet sitting to make some extra cash. You could try and advertise your services in your local newspaper, print out some flyers or business cards. Another way could be possibly social networking which is cheaper than the newspaper. You could go and walk someone's dog for a couple of hours. Watch the cat to make sure he or she doesn't tear up the curtains. How much should you charge? Well that is totally up to you. You could do a google search about pet sitting companies and see what they charge. So again if you love pets this could possibly be a good or great way to pick up some extra cash if you have a few hours or days to spare.

Idea 7- Create Your Own Website

This idea might possibly cost a little bit of money. You could create your own website. If your a computer tech you more than likely would know how to do all of it without spending hardly any money. For those of us who aren't computer techs here is what to do. First go to godaddy.com and try and get a domain that relates to what your trying to sell. If you were trying to sell T-Shirts you could go and check and see if say www.tshirtworld.com is available. After you have selected your domain and registered it with godaddy.com you can try some webhosting sites like www.justfree.com, sites.google.com or www.bravenet.com/webhosting/hosting.php are just some. When you get this done you can design your site and everything. I recommend either going to youtube or buying books at barnes and noble about website building. Many people have made a good amount of money building there own website. Some people have even sold there website for millions of dollars. Just remember though if you buy a domain for your site don't forget to register it or you could lose it to someone else. Also when you create your own website make sure you somehow have metatags on it so your website will go to search engines. I'm going to try and work on building myself a website. Hopefully in the next few months it will be up and running. So stay tuned. There is one book I recommend that you read called Building a Website for Free by Mark Bell. It has alot of good information about building a website and designing it.

Idea 6- Garage Sales and Clearance Items

How many of you love to go to Garage Sales? If not Garage Sales how many go to retail store and find some cheap deals on items? At Garage Sales you can find all kinds of deals that people want to sell for usually very cheap. For example maybe a Music CD you buy for $.50 you could have your own garage sale and try to turn around and sell it for $.75 or a $1.00. There is one thing the last two to three years that people should have done. WalMart usually has notebooks that are 15 cents around back to school time. Buy more than you need and wait until WalMart jacks the price back up to nearly a $1.00 and sell the notebooks you bought for 25 to 75 cents to someone. You would make anywhere from a dime to sixty cents per notebook which may not seem alot. It can add up though if done right. You could go and buy clearance items at a retail store and then turn out and try to sell it on ebay or even at your own garage sale. Buy enough stuff to do this with and you could make hundreds and even possibly thousands of dollars.

Idea 5- Linkshare

Ok i know some of you out there may wonder what Linkshare is. Linkshare is a website that has over 600 plus affiliate programs. Many companies like WalMart, Orbitz, Office Depot are on there. You can go to www.linkshare.com and sign up for an account. After you sign up for an account go check out the advertisers and browse around at the companies. If you have a blog on travel you might go and check out companies that have hotel rooms, flights, car rentals even cars if you want to buy a different car to use for traveling. Some companies will accept you and some will reject you. If you can basically help companies generate customers, sales then you get paid a commission. Each one is different and you can go to linkshare to see it. I personally recommend when you first sign up pick between 10-20 companies that way you don't get overwhelmed. If accepted some of them will let you slap there banner, text on your blog, website. Read the terms of service before you do anything. I recommend having more than one website or blog if you sign up for numbers of companies. Linkshare is awesome and I really like many of the companies. Like i said pick ones that interest you or that relate to your site.

Idea 4- Flipping Domains

Ok you may have heard about in real estate you can flip a house for profit. What if i told you you can do the same thing with expired website domains. What happens is people either forgot to renew there website domain or just didn't want it anymore. This idea really excites me for many reasons 1) If you don't want to sell it right away you can park your domains with companies like sedo.com, parked.com or traffiz.com and 2) You can sell it on ebay when your ready and let people know on craigslist and other places that your selling a domain. Why idea number one really excites me is because there are ads when you park your domains that you can make some money on. That alone excites me. Idea number two excites me because you can possibly make two to more times more than you paid for the domain. Where do i recommend looking for these expired domains at. My favorite place to go is to valuedrops.com and look for expired domains. I recommend looking for and doing only ones with dot com or dot net. Perferrly dotcom . For me spending only $7.49 plus tax on a domain name is not too expensive and I would rather take my chances on this than play the stock market or lottery tickets. If you can afford to buy $10 to $20 on lottery tickets a week then you can afford to do this. When picking your domain look for good key words that you think would be good on search engines. I recommend at least trying one to two a week or month if you can afford this. So I hope this is helpful to all viewing this and looking for a way not to spend a lot of money but to get some back. Do all domain names work out no but some do. Look at this way would you rather lose $7 bucks on ebay or lose hundreds on others you decide. Just keep trying and also another tip look for names that you think most people can spell for example i just bought one recently called guitarcheats. So if you have any questions or comments send me a comment on here.

Idea Number 3- Blogging

I love to blog and i enjoy it.  This is an idea and a way many people have made hundreds to thousands to millions of dollars doing this.  What is blogging to those of you you may ask blogging is basically like a journal, diary but its on the web instead of a notebook.   There are two blog systems that are free to use.  The first one is at http://www.wordpress.com/    I'm not really as big of a fan of this system as I am the second one Im about to share with you.  The second free blogging service and i love this one more is at http://www.blogger.com/    Blogger is own by google and this one to me is the best potential to make money with.    If you want to start a blog i recommend you find one thing that you are passionate about and blog about that.  If you love food i recommend a cooking blog.  If you have pasta recipes share those.  I recommend if you use blogging to look up at the top of the list that shows posting, comments, settings, design, monetize and stats.  Before you start posting you should set up your blog and after you post you should go and update your blog at http://www.pingomatic.com/    Once you have your blog set up i recommend you go to design and look at the way to make your blog amazing.   If you have any more questions on this leave a comment and i will try and answer for you what i know.

Idea Number 2- MLM ( Multi Level Marketing)

Ok this one may cause up a stir a bit.  I only recommend this idea if you're good at selling.  There are many MLM companies out there that sell products.  If your good you can make some extra cash at this and if you're really good at it you can quit you job and do this full time.  I don't recommend you go out tommorrow and tell your boss to shove it until you've made the money.   There are health and nutrition products,  legal and identity theft services,  travel selling and many more.   Some people think that the companies are scams and  I don't think the companies themselves are scams but the way they tell you how to sell it is.   So if you join one of these read books about selling and read things online i recommend by Ann Sieg.    If your not good at selling then don't try this but if you are look into a company and go for it.

Idea Number One- Affiliate Programs

I use to always hear that you have to have a product of your own to make money.  While that factor is true  somewhat there is another factor you may not have heard of. You can sell someone elses product to make money.  There are these things called Affiliate Programs where you can do that.   Many companies that you may shop at have affiliate programs and many of these programs are free to sign up for.   So check out some of the places you shop at because you never know until you see if they have an affiliate program.  Pick a niche and go for it.  If you like baseball for example maybe you could try and sell baseball jerseys through an affiliate program.    If you have any questions then shoot a comment my way and i will try and answer it for you.
