I've been doing my own thing for the last couple of years and I must say, this journey has been both invigorating and a learning experience....more leaning towards the learning though. But living on the edge is right up my alley. When I was pretty young, I started creating field trips to take kids on in the neighborhood; in my early 20's I started a modeling troupe and show and in my later 20's I created a business selling t-shirts and sweatshirts all while working as a freelance secretary (working for temporary agencies as it was called). Finally, in my 40's I bought properties and became my own Property Manager. So what am I really trying to say? This: that I am well acquainted with the ups and downs of life and living just a whee bit above the edge and not only surviving but thriving. Thus, I can give you a little advice about how to hustle and make it. So far, I have done a few on this list, but like many people, I'm still working out the kinks. I've done a lot of behind the scenes research. Although it's difficult to trust online resources, I've used several legitimate bloggers, pinterest accounts and search engines to get these great finds. Also, I will provide as many links as possible to back up the info. Here are 10 ways to make extra money and perhaps start your own business in the process.
Mystery Shopping
Real companies do exist but please check them out first. One of the ways to do this is by checking out Mystery Shop Organization which lists companies that are legitimate or this article on if mystery shopping is a scam or not... Mystery Shopping Scam Article. And finally here is another list to check out; Legitimate Mystery Shopping Companies. Use common sense when checking out these companies and opportunities. Under no circumstances should a Legitimate Mystery Shopping company ask you for money upfront to fill out and complete an application. If it sounds to good to be true, then be cautious. However, you can make decent cash applying for these jobs.
Acorns
Although this is not a job or actual work, it is a way to save money as you spend. Acorns is a mobile app that takes your change once you've reached $5.00 and rounds it up into an investment vehicle. Be very cautious especially when dealing with money. Check them out and do the research. I promise you won't be disappointed.
Amazon Affiliate Marketing
If you have your own website, blog or online store this is a good way to earn money and help others in the process. An affiliate marketer gets paid by having products on your site that a visitor might purchase or even look at. Check out Amazon if you think you have the time to do so.
