Could you use some extra money?  Who am I kidding, of course you can.  We all can! Maybe you are looking for a way to pad your wallet a bit without taking on a second job or begging for a raise or promotion.  Not to worry, it can be done!

Here are 5 ways to make extra money in your off time:

• Sell your old clothes on Poshmark – I joined Poshmark about 2 months ago and have made an extra $150 off of clothes that we had here already.  Note: You need to post good brands and good quality clothing that is in good shape in order to make any sales, but it is really easy and I’m happy to clear some room in my closet and add some bulk to my wallet.
• Sell crafts on Etsy – If you are the artsy type, consider selling your handmade goods on Etsy.  Although I can’t really comment on this because artsy I am not, some people make good money doing this.
• MLMs / Direct Sales – I am going to start this by saying that I myself am not a fan of MLMs, but mostly because I am not a great salesperson and I personally don’t like it when friends and acquaintances contact me non-stop about buying their products.  That being said, some people are highly talented at MLM sales and if that is you, I say go for it!!
• Vendor opportunities – Do you live near a large metropolitan area with a big arena (think professional sports, concerts, etc.)?  If so, reach out to the vendors who work events there (drinks, clothing, etc) and apply. Many of these jobs are available for just the night of the event and if you can’t work that night, it’s no big deal, they will call you the next time.  I recently spoke with a woman who makes $100-$250 each night in tips just doing this.
