Ideas needed for extra income...

[LiLPrincess]

I need help from the experts. I am trying to figure out ways to bring in some extra income to pay for college costs. I have thought about ebay, but it seems very intimidating.

Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.

A second (or first) job?

Oops, I guess I left out that minor detail! I am trying to figure out a way to avoid the second job. If all else fails, I will do that.....but I am wondering if there are ideas I have not thought of.

Hard to make money without a job. eBay can be a fulltime job, too, for those who make a lot of money from it. And you still have to have stuff to sell.

Have you considered something like direct sales? Most people avoid a second job because they don't want to deal with another schedule. Direct sales is typically very flexible, you decide how much you want to work and when. Reputable companies can be found registered with the Direct Selling Association. Their website is http://www.dsa.org

I read in the newspaper that someone is raising doves that are for weddings. The doves are let go at the wedding and then they fly back to their home. This person was doing it to pay for their university.

eBay can be intimidating but so can travelling to a second job and dealing with a whole new group of people. The intimidating part disappears once you get a hold of what you're doing and have done your marketing research.

I've used eBay as a second income for 3 years now and I, seriously, cannot live without it. It pays my "Betties", which are the smaller versions of "Bills". It also pays for my gas and my tri yearly junkets to Orlando.

It's like anything in life, the harder you work on it, the more you make.

Have you tried a search for grants, sponsors and/or for financial assistance? There are plenty out there.

Depending on your major, some employers will foot the bill.

Good luck!
