    When I need extra money, I just work hard for a change at my normal job.

    I work part time for an event security company. We work concerts, bars, privat parties and things like that. It has a lot of perks and can be very flexible schedule wise.

    When I was really low on money, I would donate plasma. I got paid $50 the first 5 times and could go every other week. Now, they lowered the pay a lot, but if I'm ever around the area and have extra time, I'll still donate.

    I work part time at Yankee Candle as a manager. Love the job until weeks 50-52 of the year... then it blows. Long hours, crazy people everywhere... it's only 3 weeks though so I deal with the stress and will have one hell of a workout next week when things cool down and I'm on vacation from the full time gig.

    Secret Shoppers get PAID extra money from companies wanting to see how their employees are doing...you can go online and sign up for your specific area and they will let you know when they need someone, it usually pays like $20-75 each one.

    Truth! We get secret shopped routinely.

    I've tutored (math, chemistry, and biology) from time to time for extra cash. I've done it on my own, and also through a company (ClubZ). The only tutoring I'm doing these days is pro bono though.

    Oh, yeah, I did that all the way through undergrad. And I've got permanent track marks on my arms from it :( Still, it was extra when I needed it. The center I went to we could go twice a week and it was $20 the first time you went and $30 if you went again the same week, so $50 a week.

    I will do some light work on hot rods.
    A few examples:

    Complete re-wire and fuse block on a 1957 Ford pickup truck
    New window molding and chrome on a 1969 Nova
    New rear end on a 1940 Mercury

    Things like that.

    I don't anymore, but I used to work as a temp for Google to make extra money. Telecommute, set your own hours, nice little way to make extra cash.

    Focus Groups...not thousands but at least a couple hundred! There was one that I registered for, went for 5 minutes and they didnt need me so they sent me home with a $100 check. The other one I did I got to sample food for an hour and a half, tell them my opinion and walked out with a $150 check! They limit the amount you are able to do over the course of 6 months i think for tax purposes, I am in the DC area so there are a lot. I found it just by googling it.
