What I Didn’t Learn At School

I’m so sick and tiered of hearing friends and other people complaining about the economic crises. It’s all over the news and it seams that people are giving up or they are waiting for the government to fix things for them. Well what about doing something your self? Start your own business and start to earn some money on the side.

I’m kicking some ass in both offline and online business and will hit the $10.000 a month mark in just a couple of month for sure. How? Well it started out as a side project that got me some money on the side.. and it’s going so fast now that I guess it will be a full time job within a few months.

So what can you do to start earning some money on the side? Well here is over 50 ways for you to get started.

1. Blogging something I tend to do from time to time. It’s my site you are on right now. I have some banners on this site that people tend to click on and makes me some money every month. Try it yourself and let me know if you need some help to get started

2. Cake decorating is something my mom like to do. She loves to bake cake and makes everything from pirates, soccer fields, mobile phones and doll cakes. She now takes $20 for every cake she bakes and she makes a couple every week to friends, family and their friends and family.

3. Exercise teacher is something I would like to have and would pay for. But I don’t want to pay as much as they take in a professional gym. So if you know your stuff and have been working out for some time, maybe you should start up for yourself and get paid for it. Start helping out your friends and then ask them to recommend you.

4. Gardening services for you that have green fingers. If you have a perfect garden and want to help other people getting a perfect garden too then this is for you.

5. Online media consultant. Do you know everything about Facebook, Twitter, forums and other online media? Well many of us don’t know it so why don’t you start helping us out. We would gladly pay you for the service. It’s a jungle out there and someone has to make the path.

6. Teaching music. If you know an Instrument why don’t help other people out? I would love to learn how to play my harmonica better but haven’t found anyone that can help me. There is a lot of people teaching guitar but what about the rest of us?

7. Virtual assistant is a new job opportunity that came lately. I outsource a lot of my task to people that I know can do it better then myself. I use virtual assistants to take care of some support issues, take care of my google adwords and to submit my rss feed around every month. There is many forums where you can get jobs like this, both for short and long term jobs.

8. Scrapbook making is another thing my mom is good at. She have days where she gather people and teaches them techniques for good scrapbooking and sells scrapbook stuff that people need. If this is something that is close to your heart you should give it a try.

9. Pet walking is an important niche in today’s busy world. It’s something that every dog needs but their owners almost never have time to. They just let them out in the garden for a few minutes and get them back indoors. If you like the outdoor you should bring a long one or two of your neighbors dogs and get paid for some personal exercises.

10. Housecleaning, the last thing many people want to do. It’s something most people don’t have time to do too. So if you enjoy it you can take a lot of money for helping someone else out. Somehow it feels more fun to clean up other peoples mess then your own. Even more fun to get paid for doing it.
