How can I make extra money now from home?
I am broke and the money I make is just enough to pay for my bills and my bills exactly with about $20 left over for myself at the end of the month. I am in school trying to get a college degree here at 21 years old so I can get a decent job.
Anyways what can I do to make some extra money at home? My apartment is just me so I don’t really have a lot of clutter or stuff I can get rid of to sell or sell on eBay. So that idea is out of the question. My cooking and baking is so bad that just trust me a baking and catering business is the worst I could do.
I have tried all sorts of numerous sites offering to pay you for taking online surveys but no help there as all the sites I have tried have turned out to be a scam. Any sites like points2shop I will not do because I have had many problems with these type of sites.
Is there anything out there that can get me some extra money for myself? I have tried everything from points2shop to surveys to KGB and even that ChaCha service and KGB and ChaCha said they were not seeking help at the moment and all my other methods have not been successful.
PS NO SCAM/ SPAM ALLOWED!!!!!!!!! I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND PIST OFF BECAUSE I NEED MONEY AND HAVE NONE AND I HAVE REPORTED OVER 100 PEOPLE FOR SCAM LINKS SO YOU WANT TO TEST ME THEN GO AHEAD BUT JUST WATCH YOUR BACK AND YOU WILL BE REPORTED FOR SCAM YOU FU*KER!!!! IF THIS IS NOT SCAM then sorry to bother you and please go on and post
General Strategies on Saving Money and Earning More Money
Save as much money as you can! You’ll be surprised as to how quickly you can save a lot of money!
Here are a few suggestions:
Ways To Save Money & Ways To Earn More Money (Updated on 08/12/2010)
Don’t go out to eat. Example: don’t eat out at fancy, high-class restaurants. Instead, eat at a fast food restaurant or cook a healthy meal at home. It is much cheaper than the alternative.
If you are a teen or a young adult, you might want to hold a bake sale. You can have your other friends help you out, so that you can help attain your goal of saving and/or making more money.
If you have a habit of buying new clothes very often, then resist the urge to buy new clothes for a little while. You could potentially save a good amount of money.
Take personal finance courses online or at a high school or college/university.
If you are a teen or a young adult, you may want to have a dog-walking service.

Talk to a customer service representative at a bank or other financial institution and learn more about financial instruments.
Don’t go out to watch new movies in theaters. Watch movies on your TV at home. Rent movies using Netflix.
If you are a teen, you may want to think about babysitting. You can babysit your neighbor’s children.
Don’t spend too much money when going out with friends. Have a budget in mind before you actually meet up with your friends.
If you are a teen, you could try to mow the lawn. Many of your neighbors probably want their lawns to be mowed at a fraction of the price that they pay others to do the same work.
Invest your money in a CD (certificate of deposit). You can hold your money in a CD for 6 months or even a year. It generally pays more interest than the interest you get from a traditional savings account from a bank.
If you are a teen, do chores around the house. Your parents will appreciate it and you might get some money for it.
If you like to invest your money in the stock market, then you may want to invest your money in a commodity, such as gold. The value/price of gold is expected to increase in the future.
If you are a teen, then make sure to save the money that you get from your allowance (if you get an allowance).
If you like to invest your money in the stock market, then you may want to invest your money in specific large-cap and medium-cap companies that you trust. Apple (Stock Symbol: AAPL) and Google (Stock Symbol: GOOG) are two such stocks where you can choose to invest your money.
Try to sell something of value that you are willing to part with. Sell your old stuff on websites where many people make purchases, such as ebay or craigslist. You could also sell your stuff through a garage sale or a yard sale.
Try to hold a donation drive where your family, close friends, neighbors, and other acquaintances will be able to help you out and donate a little bit of money. These people will include your parents, brothers, sisters, close friends, relatives, grandparents, neighbors, and other acquaintances.
If all else fails, borrow money from other people (parents, brothers, sisters, close friends, relatives, grandparents, neighbors, acquaintances, etc.) in order to get a short-term loan.
Find odd jobs on craigslist. Seriously, I made a TON extra doing that.
I use a website online to make cash, but because you don’t want to join those, I won’t even bother. Good luck!
Opinionoutpost is the best survey site I have ever used. They send about 2-3 surveys a day ranging from $1.00 to $8.00 in payout per survey. I am warning you not to listen to other answerers telling you that you can make $500 in a week, they are lying. Opinionoutpost is 100% free to join and is a great way to make side cash or to increase your income. Just fill in the short confidential surveys about yourself and they will start sending you 2-3 (sometimes more) surveys per day. Feel free to email me with any additional questions.

Well, I use a website called PrizeLive, and it gives checks for doing enough surveys/offers or what not. I would recommend having a spam email for the offers though, seeing as offers usually spam people. I’m not trying to spam you, I’m just warning you ahead of time, you should always have a spam email around.
The site also pays in Paypal cash, Amazon codes, and GoDaddy cards. If you want, you can check it out here: http://www.prizelive.com/r/xXADeadMemoryXx
