This is from an article that I am came across some of these suggestions were basically too silly to publish but a few of them made sense or if a different slant was put on them they  could make sense. For example, a few of the suggestions are about making items and selling them. A friend does this every year at flea markets and Christmas shows and does quite well. 1. One way to get money is to have a ... Read More

It's a site where they offer random points for using their search engine and you can redeem the points for prizes or draw tickets for prizes.

I just flipped through about 400 tv commercials this morning and a large number of them were for things like techincal institutions or schools and thing like truck driving school and retraining programs. I got me to thinking that there are a lot of people out there that don't have the skills or education to get themselves out of debt or to get a head in life. At some point if you are always behind because you have a dead ... Read More

I blogged awhile back about how the summer might be a good time to get online and buy your text books before the school rush starts. Yesterday I was rummaging through the basement looking for an old back pack when I cam across three boxes of old books that I had acquired in my university days.

Let's look at it from another angle. What if you looked at other peoples garage sales as a money making opportunity? You can find things like a table ... Read More

You work hard every year to make a little extra spending money off of the internet or maybe working at a hobby or small business. Why then would you throw it all away at tax time? When you are claiming extra income you are allowed to write off you business expenses such as domain name purchases and webhosting. Your expenses go further than this, you have hardware and software, heating and utilites at your house, a percentage of the square ... Read More

My car recently picked up a bit of a nasty rattle in the door and it not being overly old I went to the internet to looks to see if there were any recalls or bulletins on the manufactures website. There were none but it got me thinking, how many of us actually use the internet to research information that might be beneficial to us. In this new technology age there is so much information at our finger tips it's ... Read More

My hobby was always playing around with computers and even to that end I got into websites a little too late to be a serious player. That doesn't mean that time has left you behind. I work with two ladies that took their love for handcrafted jewelry and turned it into a nice profitable little business. It gives them a nice piece of extra income that they can use at Christmas, for a summer vacation or anything they want really. ... Read More

So you are stuck with a maxed out credit card and some pretty high interest payments or you have a bank loan you need to get rid of. Why not get rid of some of the junk in the basement or that you have in storage? One mans garbage is another mans gold. Everybody has something in their possession that is taking up space that you can sell for a few extra bucks. So have a look around and see what ... Read More
