In today’s economy, it doesn’t hurt anyone to have a little extra money. Whether you are paying off credit card debt or saving extra money for Christmas season, try out some of these ideas to get you earning a little extra money:

EBay – Selling things that you do not want or do not need on EBay is a great way to earn extra money. If you become a good EBay seller, you can offer your services to others and charge a fee for selling their stuff on

EBay .

Mystery Shopper – Thousands of companies will offer money and freebies for people who enter their business pretending to be a normal customer, and then write a review about their experience.

Gaming – If you are into gaming, you can make money by writing guides and reviews for the games. Also, if you play online games such as World of Warcraft, you can sell the gold that you make online. Some games like Entropia Universe work on a real cash economy. The currency in the game is based on real life currency so it is easy to put money or, more importantly, take money out of the game.

Clean Houses – Many people are lazy or just do not have time to clean their houses. Put an ad in a local newspaper or walk around your neighborhood offering cleaning services for some money.

Extra Job – Pick up an extra job. This can be waiting tables at a restaurant, delivering pizzas, and many other part time jobs.

Baby sitting – Like kids? Offer to take care of people's kids while the parents go out to dinner.

Pet Sitting/Walking – If you love animals, then offer to walk your neighbor's pets for a set rate. You can also take care of peoples pets while they are out of town.

Rent out a room – Many people are looking for a place to stay and if you have an extra room in your house, good money can be made by renting it out to someone in need.

Experiments – If you live in or near a college town, see if the college needs people for experiments. They can pay quite good amounts of money: Some of my friends did this and got $20 for taking a 10 minutes survey.

Blog – Blog about anything you want to and earn money off of ad revenue to your blog. Blogs take some time to get started up, but can become majorly successful. Sites like Blogger have a partnership with Google Adsense and will set up your blog for you.

Sports Tournaments - If you are good at a sport such as tennis or volleyball, enter tournaments in your area for cash prizes.
