Sell Your Old Stuff
Most people have junk laying around their place that they don’t use anymore.  If you have a few items that you’re willing to part with, list them on Ebay or Craigslist.  If you have a ton of stuff consider having a garage/yard sale.

Rent Out Extra Rooms
If you have a spare bedroom or two, consider getting a roommate.

Get a Part Time Job
Find a job doing something that you like in the evenings or weekends.

Offer Your Services
If you have a skill such as photography, painting, or computer repair, offer your services for a fee. Even if you don’t have a specific skill set, you can always look into areas such as lawn mowing, dog walking or shoveling snow.

Optimize Your Full Time Job
Asking for a raise or getting a higher paying job is usually the most efficient way to make extra money.
