Find a real estate agent in the area that needs a little computer work done. My aunt is a realtor and for every house she lists, she has a lady make a flyer describing the house, price, and a few pictures. The woman also emails it out to a distribution list of realtors in the area. She also used to pay me 30 bucks per listing to put them on her website. I did 10 in an hour one time.

For real, sling some weed. Pick up an ounce, and sell some eights to friends/family/coworkers. You could make some easy money. Probably do it all in one night.

The profit margin on green isn't usually very high. You have to figure it's probably been through at least two other peoples' hands before your own.

If your low on inventory for eBay, get some more.

Go to yard sales/estate sales/garage sales early on Friday/Saturday mornings. Most of the time you see only junk but occassionally you can find some treasures for cheap that will resell for a decent profit on eBay.

My wife and I do it as a hobby since we both work full-time jobs. We make an extra $3K - $4K a month from it. You can easily pull in $100 a week doing it.

Try saving 50 bucks a week instead. Seems that's how much I spend on misc crap a week, like lunches and coffee with coworkers, etc.

I already cut out that junk. I used to spend a buck or 2 a day at the vending machine and then go to wendy's for lunch. Cutting out that crap saves a bunch. :thumbsup:

In all seriousness, this is a great option. I managed a pizza place for years. The drivers made way more money than anyone else and I was always blind when it came to them reporting their tips.

I have heard that tipping has gone down a good amount, but this is still a great way to pick up extra cash.

it went down a lot. even in just the last year. Haven't done it since June but talked to a coworker just this weekend and he told me how bad it is. With gas prices, he is considering finding another side job.

Saturday nights are usually the nights I like to chase tail. :(

I don't see how you can't combine the two. Get creative, damn it!

a rentacoder?

Maybe do a paper route. A guy I worked with did this early in the morning before work, if your route is close by you won't have to drive and could save on gas, increasing what you earn from the route.

I realize its a job usually associated with someone who isn't old enough to drive. ;)
But in the OP's case if he is looking for a little extra cash that will do the trick. Work early in the morning so it doesn't interfere with after work or weekend activities and I know the routes around here pay decent.

it is a sad day when all the paper routes are being taken away from the 12 year olds.

Not to mention the fact that my side job of selling Malt Liquor to 12 year olds relies heavily on their income.

Move to San Francisco. I hear a whole new slew of job opportunities are opening up there right now.
