After 18 months, that beautiful new couch doesn’t look all that beautiful when that first payment is deducted.

10 Ways To Make More More Money From Home and Not From Home – stolen honestly from Forbes.com
- Change jobs. Most people are nervous about changing as it steps them outside their comfort zone. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.
- Take on more responsibility at work and in 12 months time, request a raise. Turtle like process but useful. If your boss sees you applying effort, taking on different roles, encouraging and positive, you will get rewarded eventually. If not, see No.1.
- If you have a unique skill set. Freelance your time in the evening. Many IT employees, developers, writers, editors use their skills outside of work and market themselves online through freelancer.com sites and upwork.com sites. Challenging and competitive environment but occasional work comes of it.
- Invest in doing up your garage or spare room and rent it on VRBO or AirBNB.
- Sell old things on TradeMe or eBay. Electronics. Clothing. Kids clothes. Old Tools, Bikes. Short term money but good also for de-cluttering.
- Go sign up to an Ad agency – these days, any look works in print and on TV. You may just surprise yourself.
- Start a home business using a business system in the direct to consumer or NM industry. 80% of females who earn $100,000 per annum in the USA do it through this channel. It’s by far the best system I’ve seen work for people wishing to get ahead. Do your homework and ask the experts what to look for before investing your time and money.
- Spend time trolling overseas websites to see what ideas would work well in NZ. There are so may unique ideas overseas that would work so well down here. I was in Park City where I saw Deer Antlers being sold as Dog Chews. I contacted Deer Farmers in the South Island. Most pay people to come get them, take them away and burn them. He said if I came and got them I could have them for free – not good use of my time but it’s an idea.
- Become an Escort.
- Look at the your equity in your home and see if you can manage to invest in a property. Get the right advice and do the math.
- Bonus Tip: Save 10% of your income every week and don’t ever touch it until you retire. My income varies from week to week because I own a home business but I roughly save 20% to 25% of my income, it goes into a separate bank (not separate ‘bank account’ where I can see it but a completely ‘separate bank’) I requested no statements and no eftpos cards. I couldn’t tell you how much is in there. I just hope I remember where to find it one day. Worthwhile doing.
