Part-Time Income

Working part-time can help kill time besides earning some cash. Here are a few part-time choices for the needy.

As we ride the worst recession for over 70 years, many will be looking at ways to earn a little extra money. This may be to fund a special purchase, create a reserve fund in case things get worse or just to fill otherwise free and wasted time.

Internet – Opportunities Galore
There are more opportunities to earn income today than have ever existed before. The growth of the Internet has made available many opportunities that never widely existed before to many looking to use their skills or time.

A quick search will present different ways of earning money from home. Not all are genuine though; some are even designed to relieve you of cash rather than add, so beware. However, there are opportunities to fit around a full time job if you have the willingness and some time leftover.

One such income earner is online surveys. Companies will now pay for your views and, if you are willing, will pass questionnaires to you at a frequent rate.

It is also possible to write articles for web pages, proofread articles (grammar and spell checkers are only so good), design web pages or complete tasks as an outworker either on a project basis or a more ongoing basis such as remote data entry.

Whilst all these can be done from home they tend to be time consuming and with low rates of remuneration.

Some Conventional Choices
More traditional ways of earning money also exist and these include taking part time jobs in the evening or at weekend such as bar work, paper rounds, leaflet drops or door to door canvassing. Many of these opportunities are widely advertised through the online job recruitment agencies, but competition is fierce so you`ll need to be quick.

Another way to earn money is through a hobby or pastime. If you are a photographer or artist then look to sell some of your work. Rooms at a library can be hired - or may be free for you to display your wares. You may even consider starting a local dog walking service, pet care in the owners` home whilst on holiday service or even a beauty therapy service such as sugaring or waxing.

Ways to Save for the Lazy or the Busy
Of course, if you do not have the inclination to trade your time for work, then you`ll need to look at ways of saving money.

Start with the big costs and review your mortgage and utility suppliers. Also, be harsh on your discretional spend such a club or gym memberships. Maybe even look to change your grocery shopping to a more cost effective store to bring the savings.

If you haven't already, consider giving up smoking and walk or cycle to work.

Either way, with a little application and determination, you can earn or save enough to make your life just that bit more comfortable.
