make money

Do you want to make money and live comfortably??? One key to making more money is to begin to really welcome the idea that money can come from anywhere, and anytime. Whether you have millions now, or whether you are down to your last penny, the basic principle is the same: Be open to multiple sources of income.

For the wealthy investors, the typical word for this philosophy to make money is: Diversification.

But the same principle holds true for those with little or no money. For instance, if you are looking for work, consider the possibility of getting two or three part-time jobs, instead of just one main job. This is entirely possible nowadays, thanks to online resources such as craigslist, or the ease of being able to create your own website.

Get more than one money making gig going!

Here is one possible scenario: You could get a 15-20 hour/week job as an office assitancnt, for example, (a temp agency is one way to get such a job, word of mouth is another, or you might also try college campuses, or try posting an ad on health food store bulletin boards). This part/half-time job can be your base.

Then, you might put the word out that you are available for house sitting. If you have never done house sitting before, you might be surprised how rewarding it is. It can be like going on vacation!  You could be surrounded in luxury for a few days, and you will be getting paid for it!

You could also walk dogs, be a caregiver for the elderly, or tutor a few kids in math to make money.

Then, amidst all these jobs, you would still have time to build your own website/business, and make money doing what you really want to be doing. Why not start that hat making business you always wanted to start? Or sell things on Ebay?  Or start teaching piano lessons, or become a workout coach?

Put yourself and all your energy into more than one area, and you can make money from more than one source. This is the basic principle that many people are using to create more meony, and have more fun in the process.

If you don’t know where to start, just keep your eyes open. Ask people if they need part-time help. Tell all the people you know what you are wanting to do. Let your voice and your email list go to good use.

Before you know it, you will have a diversified way of making money, variety in your days, and a little more free time. It sure beats working for peanuts at one job you do not even like.
