Ideas how to earn additional money

It's summer time!! It is time for those out of town trips to Boracay or Palawan. But where would you get those additional cash for your trip? As you know during summer our expenses also increase. Like in electricity bills: due to opening of airconditioner, water bills: due to those frequent showers you take to feel refresh. Here are some ideas you might want to try to get some additional income.

1. Garage Sale
Look for things in your closet or bodega that you are no longer using. In our case, since we need to buy a bar stool for our house, we decided to have a Garage Sale via our office. What we did was took a photo of all the things we don't need anymore and post it in a shared folder in our office. As of this writing we already had a sale of around 5K pesos. yehey!

2. Freelance
If you have a special skill that you can offer like doing Website etc. try to market it to prospective clients. You can do this during your free time. You don't need to shell out some money for this, all you need is some talent and proper training.

3. Crafts and Hobbies
You could also sell your creations or products of your hobbies like baked goods, beads bracelets, Scrapbooks etc. You should also find a way to make money from the things your are doing right now. If you are a stay at home mom, why don't you also baby sit some other kid or baby. These are great ways to earn money because you will really have a genuine interest in what you're doing.

4. Direct Selling
You can do this on your spare time. Just sign up with a direct selling company. Wait for your application to be approved then you can start selling. Some of these companies provide training to help your selling skills.

5. Invest, lend money and hope it will be repaid with interest.
