Most people are saving for milestones and goals, like a bucket list trip, a special gift for a loved one, or an exciting first-home down payment. If you’re trying to save money, you can benefit from some fast cash. There are many ways to make a few bucks to provide extra income. Here are four tips for earning additional money in addition to a regular job.

Make Extra Money With These 4 Easy Tips

1. Start Freelancing

Everyone is gifted in their own way, so be sure to use the talents you have to your advantage. Are you extremely detail-oriented? The New Year sparks cleanliness in most people, so consider freelancing as a closet, garage, and kitchen organizer. Do you write well? Gather your work samples, and inquire with local magazines and blogs if they’re looking for fresh writers. From crafting lei to baking for relatives and mowing lawns, there’s a freelance job out there for you.

2. Ask for Overtime

If your current job is hiring, consider asking your supervisor to take on some overtime hours. Since you’re already trained in the position, they may jump at the chance to get someone experienced to temporarily take the role while they search for a long-term option.

3. Take Online Surveys

There are several online survey sites where you can take software reviews or provide your opinion to earn money. You could earn a Starbucks©, Amazon©, or Visa© gift card, and there are different ways to use these to cover living costs. For example, use your gift cards to buy groceries, gas, and frequently used household goods, like toilet paper, shampoo, and garbage bags.

4. Sell to a Pawn Shop

Make fast cash by selling your valuables to secondhand stores looking for top brands to resell. Pawn shops will accept a wide range of lightly used items, including electronics, instruments, clothing, and accessories.
