Top Ways To Make Money From Home

If you’re like me, it seems like there’s never “enough” money…  TOO MUCH MONEY AIN’T ENOUGH MONEY!!!  I am always looking for ways to make more money and to get some of my time back.  I like to work smarter, not harder!  I love the security of having a traditional 9-5 job (guaranteed pay every week/two weeks and most of the time, you get benefits as well), but what about actually having a life and being able to live, spend time with your kids/family, go on vacation, attend all the functions at your kids school, and all the other things you wish you had time to do?  Well I have made a short list of some of the things you can do from home, to generate another stream of income.

1. Look into some already established companies who hire reps/agents and make a commission of the products/services which they already offer.  I like to think of these companies like having a “business in a box” or likie having a franchise.  Most of the time, the start up is affordable, it comes with a website already in place and they also generate all marketing materials for you. This takes a lot of time and worrying out of your business because creating a website and designing marketing material can get expensive.  Think about what you like to do & find a business along those line.  (AVON, It Works, MCA, Herbal Life… & many more).  OR you could become a credit agent & help people restore their credit (contact me for more information 330-400-6661).
2. Sell Your Services:Everyone has some sort skill or knowledge that they can put to work for them. So take a few minutes and jot down your skills, passions, in depth knowledge, and prior jobs, and brainstorm how you can sell these services to make money. Here are some ideas to get you started.

3. Digital Earning:  There are many legitimate websites where you can offer your opinion, watch videos, and complete short tasks in exchange for money, rewards, and sweepstake entries.

Your SB points can be traded in for gift cards from Amazon, Target, Starbucks, PayPal and Walmart.
