Everyone like money and sometimes you need more than what you have. \u00a0If you have goals such as padding your emergency savings, buying a pair of boots you don't need but really want or paying off debt it's good to have a side job. \u00a0I know that working after already working for 8 hours isn't fun.\u00a0Rather than punching yet another time clock take a look at these ideas to help pad your pocket.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dog Walking<\/strong> - If your a dog lover this is perfect. Put up an add on craigslist and ask the local vet if you could leave some flyers there. \u00a0Be sure to see what other dog walkers are charging in your area before you set a price.<\/li>\n
  2. \"Date Night\" Sitter <\/strong>- \u00a0Finding someone you trust to watch your kids is hard. Weekend nights are an even harder time to find a sitter. On\u00a0Friday and\/or Saturday nights offer up your services to friends and neighbors. \u00a0Be ready with games, movies and kid friendly food!<\/li>\n
  3. Give Your\u00a0Opinion<\/strong> - I have a friend whom tries to make a buck wherever she can. \u00a0While in college doing paid surveys was her ultimate form of procrastination. \u00a0To\u00a0switch\u00a0it up, \u00a0she would do a focus group if it could get her free stuff. Surveys can earn you anything from $5 - $150. Check out free paid surveys<\/a>, Synovate<\/a> and find focus groups<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Pet Sitting <\/strong>- Kennels are uber pricey and there are people can't afford to put Fido in a kennel plus pay for travel. If you're iffy on having a few pets in your home set a size limit. You can also offer to feed and check in on pets kept in the owners home. Put an ad up on SitterCity<\/a> to start!<\/li>\n
  5. Photography<\/strong> - Do you have a fancy camera and know how to use it? You can start photographing children, parties, weddings and more. You could also take\u00a0interesting\u00a0pictures and put them on an appropriate\u00a0site<\/a> and make money\u00a0every time\u00a0someone uses it.<\/li>\n
  6. Baking<\/strong> - Sell your yummy baked goods! I've made cakes and more for birthdays, \u00a0showers and holiday parties. Be sure to ask about any food allergies\u00a0and look into local health laws.<\/li>\n
  7. Teach Something<\/strong> - Do you have any special skills? Play the piano, speak a different\u00a0language or good at math? Try tutoring someone to help them bring up their skills.<\/li>\n
  8. Clean Houses or Offices<\/strong> -\u00a0Definitely\u00a0not the most\u00a0glamorous\u00a0job but you'd be surprised how many people don't want to clean. \u00a0Being a neat freak I decided to do this for my summer job a few years ago. I was able to pay for a semester of private college in cash, \u00a0pay for a trip to California in cash and still had money left over. \u00a0Just by cleaning 3 small offices and 2 houses!<\/li>\n
  9. Mystery Shopping<\/strong> - If you like to shop and know what customer service should be this one is for you. \u00a0After registering with a\u00a0legitimate\u00a0company<\/a> you get paid to go into different stores and\u00a0restaurants then report back to comment on what you see.<\/li>\n
  10. Yard Work<\/strong> - If you have the tools might as well put them to extra use. \u00a0In the spring\/summer offer lawing mowing and gardening services. \u00a0During the winter most people don't want to shovel snow so why not make some money off the lazy folk!<\/li>\n
  11. Deliver Newspapers<\/strong> - See if any newspapers in your area needs someone to do early morning delivers. You'll make extra money and will already be up in time for your regular job.<\/li>\n
  12. Tailoring<\/strong> - My mother-in-law makes some decent money doing this. When prom season came around she was attached to her sewing machine. \u00a0In her sewing room you can always find a rack of clothes she's working on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Any other suggestions? Do you have your own side jobs to supplement your income?<\/p>\n
