I’d been trying to figure out ways to supplement my income lately, as hubby is in grad school, we just bought a house, and money’s a little tight, but was having a hard time coming up with anything. Finally, though, I found it. We have a dog, a doggy door, and a large fenced yard, so I put up an ad on Craigslist advertising petsitting services at my home. For the month of August alone, I’ll be making an extra (and easy!) $800. Pretty sweet, painless, and significant. Much better than working an equivalent number of extra hours at my day job.

It’s certainly not for everyone. You really have to love animals, and can’t be too picky about a dirty house, but so far it’s working out really well for us.

Scott-I’ve considered those LSAT ideas but I don’t know if I want to start a forum or another website. Big Crumbs looks like a good deal,I’ve already made some money from them. I always try to sign up through a blogger’s link when I join new programs and hope others do the same for me. I’m going to post about Big Crumbs soon and hopefully that will get me(us) some referrals.

I’m sure you’ve already thought about it, but could you create an LSAT tutoring forum or website? Or, maybe something integrated into your current blog here about saving money on LSAT prep courses.

Also, thanks for signing up with Big Crumbs. It has been a wonderful source of added income for me and hope it does the same for you.

Jim- Thanks for the advice. I’m not worried about finding students though but about the process of teaching them.

Online Dividends-I’ve done CC arbitrage before but don’t want to do it right now. My other blog is BankBonuses.info so I’ve already done a couple Sharebuilder bonuses but it is probably time to do another one. I’ll be adding Adsense here. Probably won’t be selling any type of bodily fluids.:) Are you in KC? What are your other websites?

Summer-I keep hearing about Squidoo and have been meaning to check it out. Maybe now I’ll finally get around to it.

alivenaz-Thanks,I was trying to remember the name of secondspin the other day. I’ve only got 3 cds so it wouldn’t be much money for me. If I could talk my girlfriend into trimming her cd and dvd collection she could make some good money.

You could try selling your cds, dvds, or video games on secondspin.com. I started by picking out the cds and dvds that I had not even looked at in the past 3 years or so and made a quick $25. If I could talk my partner into seriously offloading our collection, I could probably make a couple hundred dollars.

You can make a bit writing for Squidoo.com and promote your lenses in the blogs.

You could sell ebooks.
You could do credit cards interest arbitrage
You can get a job at your school – you will basically get paid to study
You should put adsense on this website ( or other monetization methods)

Where do you sell bodily fluids in KC? As for other “manly” fluids , I think that the closes sp bank in Mo is in Saint Louis.. But you can make money hands over fist that way, according to some reports..

Have you opened an account with Sharebuilder yet? You can get a $25 bonus by opening an account with them through this link ( make one trade, they charge you $4, you can invest $5 in total)
