How about selling your empty wine bottles on Ebay. They go for .50 - $5.00.

You could do the sample demonstrations at the grocery stores. They often time have coupons to hand out, and the pay is 60- 120 depending on the event.

This webpage, Swagbucks is really great! All you do is put it in place of google or yahoo & use it as a search engine instead. Whenever you search you have a chance to win Swagbucks. It takes me about 2 weeks or less to get 450 swagbucks, which in turn gets you a $5 Amazon E-giftcard. & those can add up! Curtainly I am trying to get them saved up for a pantry I want on Amazon for all my goodies ;) Maybe I get it free!

You can also do surveys & answer polls everyday to earn a cpl of swagbucks. Good thing about this is that nothing sends to your email. You just login & do whatever. No spam. Also every Friday is Mega Swagbucks day and you can win from 20-100 Swagbucks with every search. Or something like that. =)

Ditto on the swagbucks. I make $10 on amazon easy each month just by searching for about 2 minutes a day.

Associated Content was purchased by Yahoo recently. I thought it would get worse but it's much, much better. I've made $25 this month picking up assignments from the assignment desk. One of my friends got a piece purchased by Yahoo News, and she has made $50 so far this month writing directly for Yahoo News. Lucky dog.

Wow! thank you so much for starting this thread and for all who have contributed to it. These are great ideas! I feel like I should rep all of you!!

Consider what you have that's "rentable."

Do you have a camper trailer or RV? A vacation home? A shed, or a piece of property where someone could park a trailer? (I make ballet tutu's and rent them out to smaller dance schools who can't afford to purchase one.)

What do you know that "teachable."
Do you know how to sew, bake, cook, paint, draw? Consider offering classes. I used to teach quilting classes for homeschooling students. It was a blast, and a nice secondary income.

What do you currently pay for that might be "tradeable."
Housekeeping, yardwork, lessons/classes you or your kids take....
My daughter dances on a "work/study scholarship." I design and sew costumes for the studio in exchange for her tuition. ($300+ per month. )
