Fun Ways to Earn a Little Extra Cash

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Daniel at 3:09 am

If you’re short of cash, don’t worry because there are loads of fun and interesting ways to earn a little extra money. Here are some of the best ideas.

Get Creative

We all have some creative instincts. Yes, some are better than others, but I firmly believe that we all have the capacity to get creative and find an artistic area in which we excel! And once you’ve found what you’re good at, you might be able to earn some extra money from it.

It doesn’t have to be sketching and painting, although if you’re good at that, you should definitely think about selling your work. Some people are good at decorating tiles or making greetings cards. There’s just as much money to be made from these things as any other creative endeavor.

Play Poker

If you’re good with a deck of cards, you should think about upping the stakes and playing for cash. You can start by gathering a few friends round and seeing if they’re interested in playing for money. If they’re up for it and you are the best player in the room, you might make a profit – as long as the cards fall for you, of course!

You could also try playing on some of the top recommended poker sites if you get bored of beating your friends every evening! These sites offer challenges for players of all experience levels and capabilities. You need to know your limits though, don’t take it too seriously!

Organise a Guided Tour

If you live in an area that sees a lot of tourists visiting, you could set up a guided tour. The tour could take on any form you want it too. It might take on a specific theme. For example, it might discuss the history of your area, it could serve as a guide to the contemporary city or just show them the best places to visit.

You’ll make a lot of money from it because people are always looking to learn from people who know what they’re talking about when they visit a new area. You could do it all year round or confine it to the summer months if that’s when your area is inundated with visitors and tourists.

Rent Out Your Home to Filmmakers

Movie directors and producers are always looking for shooting locations, and homes are one of the main types of location they need. Think of all the times you see home interiors and exteriors in movies and on television. Sure, some of them use sets, but they’re often real homes that the filmmakers have rented out for the shoot.

So, make your home available for use as a film location. You get paid very well, and your home won’t be invaded for too long. And it’s a lot of fun too. You get to see the inner workings of movies and how they get made. And then, when it’s all done, you get to see your home on screen!

It is possible to earn a bit of money and have fun, as these ideas demonstrate!
