A great way to help reduce your debt faster is to find extra income. Here are some ideas for making a few extra bucks (remember - every little bit counts!):
1.) Are you good with word processing and spreadsheets? Ask around local businesses and see if they could use some temporary help on an outsourced basis. Do a great job with one business and word can spread like wildfire.
2.) Are you artistic? Ask area businesses if they would like their storefront windows painted for the holidays.
3.) Are you a budding shutterbug? Ask area realtors if they need photos taken of houses for sale. It could be as easy as taking 3-4 shots per house and you could earn around $9.00/photo (depending on area).
4.) Are you good in the kitchen? Why not ask area restaurants to try some of your goodies and see if they would be willing to purchase some from you?
5.) Are you a pet lover? Offer pet-sitting services if you have the room and someone home during the day.
6.) Are you crafty? Make up some of your crafty items and sell them at area craft shows or flea markets.
7.) Are you organized? Offer organizational services to businesses and residences, which may include doing the organization yourself or merely consulting.
8.) Are you a neat & tidy? Offer cleaning services to businesses and residential areas. A great market to get into is to clean newly constructed homes.
There are many other ideas out there, just remember to think outside of the box and to keep your eyes open. When it comes to reducing your debt, even an extra $20/week turns into an extra $1040 a year

Those are great ideas that a lot of people can use to make extra money. I run a website on becoming a consultant and I’ve noticed that a ton of my readers are interested in using consulting to pay off debt. So I’ve been writing about how the high hourly rate from consulting can help you pay off debt faster
Cheers!

Excellent ideas. It’s interesting how many simple ways to make a few extra bucks are overlooked. We have tons of newly constructed homes in my area and the houses keep getting bigger and more difficult to clean.
Keep up the good work!
