Keep your mind open… be creative!

In addition to the simple money-making tips suggested in Part 1 of this article, there are other alternatives that require more time and effort, but works just as well! So, pick one and start earning some money!

Be a Breeder
If you have pet hamsters and fishes, and have too many of them (because they simply breed too fast!), instead of giving away free to your friends and relatives, sell them! Or exchange for something else! Otherwise, you can bring them to the local pet store and ask if they would ‘adopt’ your pets and pay you a nominal sum.

Be a Tutor
If you have strong academic results, you could provide tuition to the students in your neighbourhood! Otherwise, you could teach a skill too. Computer repair, cooking, dancing, singing and such are good alternatives as well.

Be a Courier
Yes, you can help companies or neighbours courier items to places near your school, work place, or some malls that you hang out often. At times, people might need to courier an important package and prefer someone that they trust.

There are many others, so keep your mind open and be creative! There are lots of services and products that people would gladly pay you for! Stop wasting your time on games and idle chatting on the phone!

You don’t need capital to earn some pocket money!

When I was an undergraduate, I was given a humble sum of pocket money every week. After deducting food and travelling expenses, I was reduced to a pauper. So, with a friend, we figured out some money-making avenues, that do not need much capital and pays for our occasional hearty meals! Here, I’ll share with you some of the tips. It will not make you rich, but it will help you to use your time more wisely and earn some income for yourself!

Be a Flyer Distributor
There are numerous event agencies, property agents and such who are in need of flyer distributors. They are usually too busy with work to distribute their marketing flyers themselves. You need not have contacts with these agents to get the job. The next time you see a flyer, call the person (they usually have their contact numbers printed on marketing flyers) directly and ask if they would like to employ your services!

Be a Service Provider
If you are well-versed in troubleshooting computers, televisions, air-conditioners and such, you could provide your service on a part-time basis. Let your friends and relatives know about your skill and charge a fee for service rendered.

Be a Broker
Being a broker means playing “middle man” to transactions. For example, if you have a friend who is a property agent, ask if you were to introduce a potential client to him, could he pay you a broker fee. So, you get paid for introducing clients to him, without doing much work! Some companies do have such policies as well, you simply have to ask.

Be a “Junk” Collector
Well, I don’t mean you literally search the rubbish dumps for gems. Be smart and eye for things that people throw away - because it’s old, because it’s dusty, because they don’t need it anymore, because it’s too bulky and taking up too much space, because because because… There are countless reasons why people throw stuffs away. Some are still in working condition, but perhaps a little old and dirty. Pick up some cleaning and polishing skills! If you see something that is worth more than a penny, pick it up, clean it and sell it online! You can check out eBay and Yahoo! auctions. Any amount that you sell for is profit for you! It may not be a large sum of money, but what was your cost in the first place?
