How to Make Money in a Jacked-Up Economy!...continued

3 More Ways to Make Money with No Money!

OK hopefully the last series have given you some promising avenues to start making money from scratch. Now we'll pick-up where we left off and explore 3 more free money making opportunities!

4) Garage Sales - Many people have a wealth of unwanted/unneeded items taking up space in their attic, basement, closet, garage, etc. Why not clear out some of that old stuff and generate some cool profits with a garage sale?! You could even join forces with some of your neighbors who'd like to do the same thing a make it a fun block event with all sorts of thing to sell, music, lemonade, games, the works! Be creative and most of all make some money. Remember: that old piece of junk may not mean anything to you anymore, but one person's junk is another person's treasure!

5) EBay - You've heard of eBay no doubt. But maybe you've never tried it (at least not to sell anything). Well it's basically the same as one huge garage sale only it's online. People sell all sorts of thing that you wouldn't believe anyone else would want...and you know what? Many people make good money doing it! This is yet another money making avenue you can explore. It really costs no money to get started -- you may incur shipping costs or other, but if you've figured those expenses into the overall cost of your item then that would be paid for out of your profits, not your pocket.

6) Mystery Shopping
- Being a mystery shopper is basically posing as a customer in different retail establishments and getting paid or earning rewards to rate employees and the establishment on things like customer service, cleanliness, safety measures, etc. This is a fun way to make some extra money or offset expenses in your life by being able to earn free meals at great restaurants, free movie & entertainment passes, free gas, etc. You should never have to pay to join a mystery shopping company. Depending on the mystery shopping assignment however, at times you may have to 'front' expenses to do a particular shop -- in this case, you are to be fully reimbursed at the time you receive your pay and/or rewards. Be sure to keep all receipts and accurate records. Top Three Perks of Mystery Shopping
