Additional Money Making Ideas

1. Sell your stuff:
I'm SURE you have some extra stuff laying around your house that would be of value to someone else. Whether it be old clothes, jewelry, furniture, etc.. You don't realize how much money you could earn just by finding some way to sell it. Here are some good ideas:
Resale shops: Most resale shops will take your clothes and then give you a percentage of those sales, but some will give you cash up front! A little research on your area will tell you. If you live in the Metro Detroit area, try "Regeneration" (http://www.myspace.com/shop_regeneration)
Etsy: (www.etsy.com) If you consider yourself at all crafty or you make something really cool, like jewelry, pottery, etc... you can go to this site and sell it!
Online Selling: I personally love Craigslist as its so easy to post (and free) but there is also Amazon and ebay. Another thing you could do is find items that people are giving away for free or cheap (at garage sales, or even curbside) take them home, fix them up if needed and resell online at a higher rate!
2. Sell your expertise:
Good at something? Go online and promote it! 
3. Direct Sell
Find something you have an interest in and sell it to your friends and their friends!
My mom sells Lia Sophia jewelry and she loves it! Takes very little time per week and great for extra cash, OR if you want to get serious about it, you could make it your own business!
If you have interest in Lia Sophia ( or in Jewelry) feel free to contact my mom at her website:
Here are some other good ones I've heard of:
Avon (www.avon.com) or Mark, which is Avons younger crowd (www.meetmark.com)
Diva Girl Purse Party: (http://divagirlpurseparty.com/)
Simply Fun: (www.simplyfun.com)
If you know of any other good ones, let me know! Hope something on here works for you!
