    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.

    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.

    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.

    I'm a Beachbody coach which has made me a bit of extra money... it's been nice around Christmastime!

    I am also a Beachbody coach and it fits into stuff I am doing anyway for myself.

    What Do You Do For Extra Money? Does anyone do anything different?

    Co-write fiction short stories for American Reportage magazines - there are 3 of us, so we split the $20K per story three ways.

    Ghostwriting. Depends on the demands@earning power


    Flip houses. Buy@Auctions. Refurbish -> Landscape ->.Stage ->Flip. The earnings are decent. $25K investment and after 3 months of labour $475K profit.

    Event planning and catering - Depends on the scope, demands and time frame. A lot of last minute requests, so that would translate to major mullahs.

    Clothing and Fashion Styling - Earnings could be from $7K - 15K for the day.

    Hook when I'm in a good mood, sell dope when I'm feeling lazy...LOL

    Sorry, couldn't pass up the opportunity!!! Seriously, I used to prepare tax return for my friends and their friends. But, the tax laws change so much each year, I didn't want them or myself to get audited...LOL
