4. Get Paid To Write Articles

If you are good at writing, put that skill to use by writing articles for the Associated Content website, www.associatedcontent.com

This site will pay you to write articles about various topics.

Most articles will pay anywhere from $3 per article up to at least $25 per article, depending on the topic. 

While this might not be the right choice for everyone, if you have a good command of the English language and like to write, you can make a good supplemental income by writing for Associated Content.  Plus, you will get to see your name in print!

Another place to write articles and ebooks for money is on www.Elance.com. On this website, you can bid on different projects such as writing, administrative tasks, web programming, and more.  If your bid is selected, then you will be paid to complete the work as a freelancer.  Depending on your skill level, you can make enough money on eLance to serve as either a part time or full time job.

5. Turn Your Hobby into Cash

If you already have a hobby that you enjoy doing, such as taking pictures, sewing, or repairing old cars, use that hobby to make you some money. 

For example, if you love taking photographs, sell your photos online at websites such as:
www.us.fotolia.com
www.dreamstime.com
www.submit.shutterstock.com
www.bigstockphoto.com 

You can turn other hobbies into cash as well.  Check out these examples:

• If you sew, do some tailoring as a side job.
• If you bake or cook, try catering some local parties.
• If you fix or restore cars, hire yourself out to friends and locals to repair their old cars.
• If you read for fun, get paid to write reviews of the different books.
• If you love to eat, try to become a restaurant critic for a local newspaper.
• If you love to shop, become a mystery shopper and get paid to evaluate the stores that you shop at.
• If you love sports, become a coach or referee at a local sports center.
