How to Make Extra Income Using Your Computer (7 Steps)

Write and edit articles for an online publication. Many websites hire freelance writers to write articles on particular topics. The specific writing requirements depend on the hiring company. Some articles are strictly for search engine optimization purposes, and other articles aim to provide useful information concerning a particular topic.
Sell your personal items on online auction sites. As a seller, you can list the items you want to auction off or sell, and consumers bid on the items or buy them outright for a predetermined price. This is particularly lucrative if you have a lot of antique or high-end merchandise you don't use. Auction sites such as eBay and Overstock Auctions are viable starting points.
Sell other people's products as an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing allows you to earn a commission every time you sell a product that someone else created. Clickbank and Affiliate Bot are online marketplaces that connect affiliate marketers with sellers of products.
Offer services as a virtual assistant. Many business owners and professionals obtain the services of a virtual assistant to help with administrative tasks. All you need to start a virtual assistance business is a computer and the Internet.
Set up a blog. You can use personal websites to discuss various topics to make money. Ways to make money with blogs include placing advertisements on your site and selling affiliate products. Google Adsense has a large online advertisement program that allows blog and website owners to sign up and earn money.
Start a graphic design business. If you have graphic design software and design skills, you can offer your services to individuals and business owners. Some services you can offer include logo design, website design, banner design and marketing products designs.
Provide online tutoring services. If you have a college degree or if you're a college student, you can offer your tutoring services online. Many foreign students pay tutors for lessons in English. You can sign up through a tutoring company or start your own business.

How to Make Money With a Laptop (8 Steps)

Set up an account on eBay if you do not have one already. One of the best ways to start making money with your laptop is to gather up your unwanted items and start posting them on eBay.
Establish a PayPal account as well. A Paypal account makes it easier for your buyers to bid with confidence, and many eBay buyers will not deal with a seller who does not accept PayPal payments.
Travel to yard sales and flea markets in search of items you can resell on eBay and other online auction sites. Bring your laptop with you to look up final selling prices of similar items. This will make it easier to find the products that are likely to garner the highest profits.
Solicit items to sell from your friends and family members. Many people have items they would like to sell on eBay, but they do not want to go through the hassle of setting up their own eBay account and shipping the products when they sell. Offer to sell these products in exchange for a percentage of the sale price.
Look for opportunities as a virtual assistant, freelance writer and customer service representative. Many companies use freelance labor to get things done--with opportunities ranging from website design and content writing to concierge service for well heeled clients. When looking for work with your laptop, however, avoid websites that charge upfront fees--these are generally scams. Legitimate work at home sites will not charge a fee for participation.
Visit the Rent a Coder website (see Resources) and review the assignments available there. This popular freelancing website includes opportunities for computer programmers, technical writers, proofreaders, editors and other professionals. Freelancers bid on the available jobs, and buyers are free to choose the person who best meets their needs. There is no up front charge for using the site, but Rent a Coder keeps a percentage of the proceeds in exchange for providing the marketplace.
Go to the Live Ops website (See Resources) and review the training materials and frequently asked questions. This site provides live phone support and ordering services for a number of different companies, using operators who work out of their homes. When applying to the site, be prepared to take a test and provide a resume. This company can be very selective about who it hires, so some previous customer service experience would be a big plus.
Visit the VIP Desk website (See Resources) for information about work as a virtual concierge. These virtual concierge services are similar to the jobs performed by a concierge at an upscale hotel, so previous experience in the hospitality industry is a big plus. Expect to take a test and provide a resume with a list of references before being considered for a position.

How to Clip Grocery Coupons to Save the Most Money

Before you even start clipping coupons for the week go through your grocery store circular to see what's on sale. Come up with a grocery list based on sale items for the week.
Now that you have your list you can start cutting coupons from the newspaper or printing free online coupons (for great places to find printable coupons see the link in the Resource Section below). ONLY clip coupons for items that are either on your list, are not on your list but that you regularly use, or are currently sale and could replace another product on your list. See Step #5.
Clipping coupons for items on your grocery list is a no brainer. These are items that you'd buy anyway and now you're getting a discount on them. If you find a coupon for a certain brand of pasta, but it's different than the pasta you normally buy, try switching it up. Just make sure the price of the item minus the coupon discount is still cheaper than the price of the brand you normally purchase. This is especially important if you regularly buy store brand items.
If you come across a coupon for an item that you normally use but you don't need it this week clip it anyway. Save it in your coupon folder for one of the following situations. Use the coupon if you run out of the item, if you still have the item but it's on sale at the store (say it's 2/$5 and you have a .50 coupon), or if the coupon is about to expire.
If you come across a coupon for an item that you would not normally buy but you know the item is on sale AND it can replace something on your grocery list clip it. For example, your family usually prefers ice cream as a dessert so you have that on your list to buy. But let's say you come across a $1 off coupon for Jello Brand Pudding snacks. You know from your store's circular that the same product is on sale for $2.50 instead of the regular price of $3.00. In this case clip or print the online coupon and use it to get the pudding dessert instead of the ice cream. Your family will still be able to satisfy their sweet tooth and you can save money by purchasing an on-sale/coupon dessert instead of a full price ice cream. Get the ice cream next week when it's buy one get one free.
Go through your grocery list and put a star next to any item for which you have a coupon. Make a note of the specific brand and any special requirements (ie, must buy 2) next to the product. Immediately after you put the item in your cart, pull your coupon from your file and place it somewhere you won't miss it (the front of your file, your pocket, your cart). When you go to check out you'll have all your coupons together. This way you won't be stuck looking through a pile of clipped coupons while you're rushing to pay and risk missing one.
Don't over-clip! The biggest money trap when it comes to coupons is clipping coupons for items you never use just because it's a good deal. Who cares if you can save $1 on chips if you never eat chips. You can save $3.50 by not buying them at all! Remember, don't cut out coupons for items you wouldn't normally buy otherwise you may be tempted to purchase the item just so you can use your coupon.

How to Make Money off a Peddler's License in Arizona

Identify a gap in the market. Think about what would sell well in the location in which you plan to trade. If you can identify an area close to you that would benefit from a peddler selling refreshments, consider setting up a food and drink stall. If you want to sell your own arts and crafts, look for a spot with heavy footfall that attracts the type of demographic that would be interested in your work.
Calculate your prices. Work out how you'd need to price your goods to turn a decent profit. Factor in the price of your raw materials, income tax deductions, fuel for transportation, your time and any other costs involved in your peddling venture. You'll also need to add sales tax on top of your final figure. The amount you'll need to add in sales tax will depend on where in Arizona you plan to trade. You can find information about sales tax in Arizona counties and cities on the Arizona Department of Revenue website.
Contact your local city or county government offices to find out if you need a peddler's license. You'll also need to ask if you need to meet any health and safety requirements or submit to a health inspection. The method for applying for a license will vary depending on the jurisdiction where you plan to trade. You may not even need to apply for a license if you're selling certain goods.
Buy a vehicle or a stall from which to trade. Make sure any equipment or inventory you invest in meets the requirements of your local licensing office. If you plan to sell your wares by going door to door, buy smart clothes and spend money on making yourself look as presentable as possible.
Apply for a peddler's license from the Arizona city or county government office that has jurisdiction over the area in which you plan to trade, if you require one. The method for doing so will vary from place to place. You'll usually need to submit recent photographs of yourself and a description of where you plan to trade, provide fingerprints and pay a fee. You also may need to submit to compulsory inspections.
Register for transaction privilege tax, or sales tax, with the Arizona Department of Revenue.
Work on making the stall or vehicle you plan to sell from as inviting as possible, or perfect your patter, and get selling.

How to Make Money on eBay Selling Walmart Items

Part of the trick of selling Walmart items is knowing on what eBay international site to list them. Some of the items below will sell best on a site other than eBay USA.
Examine the sports fan apparel for your local sports teams. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. My local Walmart is stocked with University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Atlanta Falcons, and Atlanta Braves fan apparel. But, there are fans of these sports teams all over the world who can't necessarily go to a Walmart to purchase them. Try selling football jerseys, hoodies, jackets, tshirts, and flags. You can make some really big profits selling fan apparel and accessories if a local team makes it to the playoffs.
Electronics. The big one here is the Wii or whatever the latest and greatest video game system is. Buy electronics before the holiday season and put them up for sale in mid-November. Also keep an eye on the popular Wii games - last year's hot game was Guitar Hero. Check the eBay Pulse for what's hot in the category of video games.
Disney items. Last year, the rage was Hannah Montana and High School Musical, and a few years prior to that the rage was Lizzie McGuire. Get in touch with the tween generation and find out what (and who) they are going nuts over. Hannah Montana bedding sets sold for 3 times the Walmart shelf price because the items were so scarce, yet kids wanted them for Christmas and their parents were willing to pay.
Toy sellers on eBay make a killing during November and December but you have must have the flexibility and availability to go shopping at 2 AM to get the 'hot toy' as soon as it is stocked. Pay attention to the hot Barbie items, Fisher Price toys (especially electronic learning toys), LeapFrog/Leapster systems and games, and the latest Lego sets. Harry Potter sets do well. Toys do exceptionally well year round on eBay UK, eBay Canada, and eBay Australia.
Action figures. Look for whatever the latest trend or popular movie hero is - at the time of this writing the big movies are Batman and Indiana Jones. Star Wars figures are always popular, especially on eBay UK and eBay Europe.
Kids digital cameras. The most popular camera is called the Fisher Price 'Kid Tough' camera and comes in pink or blue. There is even an underwater version. These sell at Walmart for about $48.00. On eBay UK, they sell for about $85. Deduct your fees, and this item alone can bring about $30 in just one sale. Just go to eBay UK and search the completed listings and do your research before setting your starting price.
Food. People all over the world love our American junk food (even though it is killing us). In the UK, they want Lucky Charms. The Lucky Charms leprechaun holds a special place in the hearts of the British and Irish people. You can sell boxes of Lucky Charms for about 3 times the Walmart price. They aren't buying the cereal for the taste, they are buying it because it is a novelty and they like the little leprechaun. Other good selling food items include Oreos, M&Ms, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Tabasco Sauce, Hidden Valley Ranch powdered dressing mix, Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, barbeque sauces, Altoids mints, and gum.
Discontinued items. Cosmetics and skin care products are constantly being discontinued and these items can go for big money on eBay. At one point in 2008, a $10 tube of Aveeno cream was selling for $40 because it had been discontinued. See the resources section for more info on discontinued items.
Check your local Walmart for special regional foods. In Atlanta, our stores carry pecan logs and speckled grits, which are a local favorites. Test market cities also have items that aren't found elsewhere. (We had the raspberry M&Ms before anyone else.) See what you can find that is unique to your area.
See the resources section for more information on how to make money selling Walmart items on eBay USA and on international eBay sites.

How to Make Money in Real Estate Using Sandwich Lease Options

Identify attractive properties in nice, stable neighborhoods that are likely to appreciate in value over the next few years. Hire an attorney to write a lease option that is legally sufficient and enforceable. The option is only binding on the optionor (the homeowner) and must state the term of the contract, the future sales price and the amount of the nonrefundable option deposit. Locate future possible tenants.
Rent a property with an option to buy. A long-term lease of one to five years has more potential for profit. Make sure if you decide to exercise the option that you can purchase the property anytime during the term of the contract, and that the option deposit is applied to a future down payment. Make it clear to the landlord that you intend to sublease the property.
Find a tenant who also wants to rent with an option to buy. This sublease term can't be longer than your lease term. Ideally, the tenant will be able to obtain a mortgage loan before the option to buy expires, so check her credit report to make sure that is possible. Your tenant's option deposit, monthly rent and future purchase price must all be higher than what you're paying in order to maximize your potential profit.
Collect your profits. If your tenant decides to buy, then you exercise your option with an earlier closing date than the tenant's closing. In this case you've made money on the monthly rent and the purchase price. If the tenant decides not to buy, you've made money on the monthly rent and the nonrefundable option deposit, and you can let your own option expire, renew it and repeat the scenario with another tenant, buy the property or walk away. Any way you do it, you've made a profit.

How to Make Money in the Used

Visit your local Small Business Administration office to find out what legal steps you need to take before selling used cars in your area. It's best to handle these things first so you don't have to pay legal fees later.
Find used cars in your area to sell. Look for cars whose owners have written sale information on the windows as well as cars listed for sale in newspaper classifieds and on websites like eBay and Craigslist. Check a car guide like Edmunds or 'Kelley Blue Book' to make sure the owner is selling at or below the suggested price for the car in its current condition. Ensuring this, will increase your potential profit.
Contact sellers and arrange to meet and inspect their cars. Look over each car carefully to find any damage on the exterior and interior. Drive the car to check for strange noises, problems with the transmission and any other signs of excessive wear. Buy the car and title only if you can inexpensively repair the damage.
Restore the car to like-new condition. Use a repair manual to help fix any problems with the car's function. Mend tears in the interior, vacuum, polish the dashboard and wash the exterior. Don't attempt to deceive potential buyers by resetting the speedometer or otherwise lying, but make the car as attractive as possible.
Advertise the car in local classified ads and on sites like eBay and Craigslist. List a sale price that is more than the total of what you paid for the car and how much you spent to restore it. This is how you'll make a profit.
Respond to buyer inquiries immediately. The sooner you respond, the sooner you can make a profit and move on to buying more cars to sell. Invite the prospect to inspect the car as you did when you bought it, and point out the like-new condition and other positive aspects of the car.
Move the buying process along as quickly as possible to decrease the chance of the prospect changing his mind. For example, arrange to receive payment as soon as he says he wants to buy the car. Give the car title to the buyer after you receive the cash for the car.

How to Make Plastic Canvas Crafts for Extra Money

Choose patterns for items that are both functional and decorative to maximize sales. These may include tote bags, place mats, boxes, desk accessories, Christmas tree ornaments and other holiday decorations. Visit several craft outlets, art fairs and bazaars to see what types of items are selling.
Develop or obtain plastic canvas patterns. Avoid copyrighted patterns or those with trademarked graphics due to copyright infringement laws.
Gather your supplies and make your plastic canvas crafts. Purchase tools and supplies as necessary, such as plastic canvas, yarn, plastic needles, embellishments, scissors, glue and a glue gun.
Determine a price for your crafts. A good rule of thumb to follow when pricing is to add up the cost of materials, labor and overhead costs (such as gas used to shop for items), then multiply that total by two to get a retail price. Create price tags and attach them to your crafts. Include your name and contact information in case a customer wants to order additional items from you.
Identify craft outlets. Check local Chambers of Commerce to find out if they have contact lists for annual craft bazaars in your area. Several churches host annual craft bazaars, especially during the holidays. Make a list of possible bazaars you wish to participate in. Call the bazaar chairperson to find out participation costs and to obtain any application documents necessary. Apply well in advance, as table space often goes quickly.
Purchase portable table and chairs. Some bazaars and craft shows provide these, but others do not. Set up a decorative display well in advance. Have a cash box, change, paper and pencil available. Print business cards with your contact information to hand out to potential customers. Purchase an inexpensive guest book for customers to sign and give contact information so you can stay in touch with your customers.
Set up accounts on Internet sites such as Etsy, a crafting site, or eBay if you wish to sell your plastic canvas items online. Follow all account directions accurately and make note of any fees charged. Set up an account that allows you to receive and make payments via the Internet. At the end of each month, print a record of your sales from the site to keep for your records, or transfer the information to your accounting software.
