No one objects to extra dollars if they can be earned with relative ease. There are many innovative ways to make money and supplement your monthly income. It may be just a few dollars at first, but with time, those dollars can add up to a lot of money. You’d be surprised by the number of ways in which you can boost your income.
Recycle
If you’re tossing out empty soda cans, old newspapers and cardboard cartons, you might want to rethink this activity. It’s not a gold mine, but recycling some of your junk can have a two fold benefit. You earn some extra money and also help the environment. Keep a carton or a bag marked for recycled items and store them in your garage or attic.
Try tutoring
If you’re good at a particular subject such as Math or Biology, you can earn a significant amount of money as a part-time tutor. Create some fliers and pass them around your neighborhood or paste them in places where parents or students are most likely to read them. You can post ads on bulletin boards at schools, libraries and even in the local newspapers.
Hobbies
Do you have a talent in arts such as pottery or painting? If you do, then you can earn money through your artwork. All it takes is a little bit of enterprising spirit. For example, if you are very good with craft work, you can make greeting cards, environment friendly gift packs and beaded jewelry pieces that people will like to buy. You can put your artwork on display in public art galleries or in local exhibitions. If your work is good, then you will most likely find buyers.
Vehicle advertising
If you have the energy for it, you have another interesting option for quick and easy cash. You can use your car as an advertising medium by getting it wrapped in advertisements. It is not as strange as it sounds, as there are many local firms and agencies that would pay you well to get ads published on your car.
Online jobs

Apart from that, there are a host of web based opportunities that you can make use of to earn more money. Right from software designing to pagination or getting paid to fill in survey forms – there are many lucrative ways to spend your time online.
