Working from home for extra money

I am sure this has been posted before, but does anyone have any ideas/suggestions about making some extra money from home, like a second job type thing? Other than telemarketing, I don't really know what else is out there that I can do in addition to my 9-5 job to make some extra cash.

TIA!

MY FH is doing this right now!! A few months ago he started selling stuff on ebay and he makes more at that then his regular job! ( Some months anyway)

The extra cash has been great! Its actually pretty much paid off the bulk of our wedding!!

Not sure on 'from home' work, but my own experience...I have a 2nd job on Saturday mornings at a Podiatrist office (receptionist) 8:45 am to LATEST 2 pm. I get $65-75/day. I am looking for a 3rd (yes, 3rd) job for after my M-F job (I work 9:30 - 6). Was thinking of Target or Wal Mart. Good Luck, if you find something, let me know!

What kind of stuff is he selling? Shoot, between FH and I am sure we have enough stuff we can part with. First thing...my motorcycle (FH doesn't want me to ride anymore).

Re: Working from home for extra money

No hes not selling our stuff actually. He buys car parts cheap ( has a few different sources) and sells them. He knows so much about cars and decided to put it to use.

The best part is that it takes less then a day to go out and buy some parts, come home take pics and list on ebay. and then in a week we have $$$$ in our paypal account ( which we then transfer to savings) it takes up practically none of our time... just checking email a few times a day for any questions ( if he can get me off liw that is)

Re: Working from home for extra money

how does selling stuff on ebay really work anyway...when you have to ship stuff how does that work ?

Re: Working from home for extra money

you calculate how much it weighs and costs to ship and the buyer pays you the shipping costs in addition to what the auction was, then you can send through the mail

You can try Elance.com.

You can bid on projects from simple word processing to larger projects such as web design.

Ebay is fantastic too. I have sold so much stuff on there.

Re: Working from home for extra money

this all sounds great but for some reason ebay won't give me an account..it keeps saying i already have one but i never signed up for one...ARRRHHHHH I would love to make extra money on ebay BUT THEY WON'T LET ME!!!

Re: Working from home for extra money

Anjer, i would try to figure out why Ebay won't give you an account. It could be a case of identity theft.

what kind of stuff do you sell on ebay???
I know you can sell anything but what have you guys been selling?

Re: Working from home for extra money

Thank you all for your suggestions! I am seriously going to look into a lot of them especially maybe a doctors office on the weekends since I have a ton of experience in with that.

It is so funny that you guys are talking about e-bay because my mom mentioned yesterday that my dad (he passed away over 20 yrs ago) had a few old and rare quitars that may still be in my attic and that I should look into getting them appraised because they might be worth something! As soon as I get hom ei am going right up there to see what other stuff I can put on e-bay!

Thanks again all!
