ways to make moolah without working

[elijahboy]

i will be putting on about 50 or so auctions on this week on ebay

i just started to use ebates and buy all the good deals i keep hearing about and so far have 5.26 but kick myself that i bought one auction on ebay and didnt use ebates

at some point i will start mypoints

i started swagbucks and have gotten 3 amazon gift cards in about 2 months to shop for next christmas just for searches that i normally do and this is the easiest one


at some point i want to collect cans and i have done this before but got sick of looking at them and gave 3 30 gallon bags away i know kicking myself

i may start mystery shopping again but only when the youngest starts school next year

any other ways you know of making money without having to leave the house

outsourcing is one of the ways of making money without actually working. You take on some work, keep you cut, and give that project to someone else! simple!

besides ebay, having yard sales, collecting cans, reselling items, consigning good used clothing.
selling scrap metal.

I'm assuming that "not leaving the house" means not being paid by an employer. Hence, some of my suggestions do involve leaving the house.

*daycare (could be full time or only certain time/day of your choice)
*sick child daycare
*sell bread to neighbors
*sell your blood plasma
*sell your hair
*collect wild things such as preying mantis cocoons and lots of plants (Research "wildcrafting")
*calligraphy service
*host birthday parties
*curtain-laundering specialist
*give lessons (couponing, piano, cooking, sewing, knitting, tennis,etc.)
*tutoring
*teach classes for the local Parks&Rec
*parents' night out service - multiple kids at your house - cheaper for parents
*silver polishing service
*sell used books on half.com or amazon.com or local used book store.
*make homemade items to sell on Etsy.com.
*sell freebies that you get couponing which your family does not need.
*sell stuff at flea markets.
*sell stuff at farmers' markets (produce, plants, baked goods, flowers)
*canning service for home gardener's
*personal chef

Wow! Some great suggestions! I know lots of folks sell their surplus stockpile items at yard sales or on craigslist. Also, do you do mail-in rebates? This may be a given since you're a couponer, but I haven't seen that mentioned.

These are not get rich quick schemes, but I use Quick Rewards (click every day & I end up with about $5/every other month), Creation Rewards (very similar to Quick Rewards, a little slower payout), Freeride (even slower payout about $15 every 9-10 months). (the above are without spending any money)

Amazon Mechanical Turk, when I wasn't working as much in Sept/Oct I could earn $25/week or more in my spare time.

Before shopping online, I check evreward.com for the best reward payback available. Different reward sites have different rewards for different companies.

survey sites, paid to click sites, focus groups, paid studies, be a guinea pig.
