Amazon Mechanical Turk

If you're like me, you probably spent too much on Christmas. You're facing a few tough months to play catch up with your bills, right? I have a solution that won't put big bucks in your pocket, but it sure will help with gas money. Have you heard of Amazon Mechanical Turk? Also know as mTurk, this site allows you to earn as much as your level of patience permits. It is comprised of small tasks and surveys, each paying from a few pennies to a few dollars. There is no limit to how many you can do each day. They offer two ways to get paid. If you have earned at least $10.00, you can simply transfer the money to your bank account. You can also transfer your money to your Amazon account and spend it there. I paid for most of my Christmas shopping by earning money and putting it in my Amazon account. Need a new set of pots and pans? Work on mTurk and you can earn enough to get them free through Amazon. This is one of the easiest ways I have found to earn extra cash from home. Just sit back in your recliner, fire up that laptop, and start earning!

GameNite Mobile - A brilliant home business

I wanted to tell you all about a brilliant idea for a home business that I came across the other day. This is a perfect example of someone taking something they love to do and turning it into an income stream. This small business owner loves gaming. How many guys do you know who are unemployed and sit around playing video games all day and night, apparently waiting for a job opportunity to come to them? Probably at least a few, but Chuck Jones in Ohio isn't one of them. He takes his love of gaming and takes it on the road, providing an amazing gaming experience for parties, special events, or even just a few guys who want to have a rockin' good time. I predict his business, GameNite Mobile, is going to be one of the best home businesses I've ever seen. You can read about GameNite mobile in their new blog or simply go to their website to learn more. Chuck Jones and GameNite Mobile definitely get my vote!

Mindfield Online Surveys

For those of you using multiple methods of making extra cash, which is most of us, I can't sing the praises of Mindfield Online enough. You know how some survey companies will let you get three quarters of the way through the survey, only to tell you that they don't want you? These guys don't do that. Of course, anyone will screen out from time to time, but most of the time you will complete your survey and get paid. Most of the surveys pay $1.00, and you only have to have $5.00 in your account to cash out. They will send you a paper check, or you can be paid via PayPal. If you want an easy way to earn cash at home and supplement what you're already earning, Mindfield Online is a great place to do it. You really can earn cash taking surveys.

The Challenge of eBay

I think I have finally gotten the science of eBay selling down to a science. After months of reading, watching auctions, and selling on eBay, I have come to a conclusion - you can make good money with a little work and knowledge. If you want to make extra money selling on eBay, the first thing to do is determine what sells for the best profit margin. Notice I didn't say what sells at the highest price, but the highest profit margin. Let me save you some research by sharing what I have discovered. The hands down, number one seller on eBay is electronics. Any kind of electronic device that is in good working order will net you a tidy sum. If you can pick up items cheaply, or even free, you will make money on ebay. Another great seller are medical scrubs. I'm not even sure why, but these things sell like crazy. Another great seller is women's clothing, especially brand names. How do you find things to sell? First, clean out your closets. When you are done, do it again. Put everything on eBay. Think it won't sell because it's broken? Nevermind, list it anyway, just disclose the item's condition. eBay is full of people looking for pices and parts. Once you have rid your home of everything you don't really need, it's time to cast your net for eBay items. Tell your friends that you would like to have items they plan to throw away or donate. (You can donate a percentage of your proceeds to any charity upon completion of the sale). Let them know you will be happy to rid them of broken or unwanted electronics, computer games, etc. Next, hit the thrift and consignment shops. I have found that these shops will offer a large variety of things you can't resell, but they always have hidden treasures. For example, the swap shop in my neighborhood is actually a bit pricey, but they sell clothing for $.25 per piece. I go through every item on the rack, focusing on the brand, not the actual item. When I locate a name brand piece of clothing, I then inspect it for flaws. If it's in good condition, in my shopping cart it goes. I will start the item for $.99 on eBay. Even if I only sell it for the starting bid, I still have a huge profit margin. Everyone wins. The swap shop sold an item, I sold an item, and the eBay buyer got a name brand piece of clothing for pennies. So, your challenge for today is to make a game plan and start making some much needed cash on eBay. You CAN do it!
