I'm curious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1471038 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:38:21 +0000 Boogs 1471038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Yup! Worth looking into! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1471024 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:31:11 +0000 Ash 1471024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Thanks! I've never heard of it but it sounds like a good way to make money! Everything around here seems like weight loss products and that's not my thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1471009 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:27:16 +0000 BananaPancakes 1471009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I have several friends who sell Rodan + Fields and make serious money. They all seem to be tiered under each other, and I know the one at the top has been selling for under 2 years and her and her husband have both quit their regular jobs because she makes so much. He's a musician and just does that now. Several have paid off their college loans. That's said, I have no idea what it is exactly that they do and I've never tried a R &amp; F product, but I have personally seen results from these people. Just an idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1471005 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:26:49 +0000 Ash 1471005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: heeeeey that'd be great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1471002 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:25:50 +0000 Boogs 1471002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: What kind of shopping do you like to do? I know there are Instagram shops that get crazy good clearance deals on clothes from either regular stores or consignment stores and they sell for more online. Maybe that would be a way to still fulfill your shopping addiction, but make you money? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1470945 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:06:49 +0000 Ash 1470945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I don't either! I am not creative or crafty.

I think she makes a couple extra hundred a month. That is NOT in my skill level though :( I don't craft anything well enough to sell :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1470929 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:02:26 +0000 mlm2934 1470929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I have a relative who works from home as a nurse monitoring patients who have some sort of heart monitor device they wear at home. Are there any sort of niche nursing fields like that you could get into? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1470925 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:00:32 +0000 Ash 1470925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forgot I started this thread! :shocked: </p> <p>@lilteacherbee: bahahah! I'll teach ds the same! </p> <p>@MrsH: not crafty at all! Boooooo!</p> <p>@Leialou: I don't want to leave home and I work as a nurse so I make good money doing that. I just want a little extra money. I messaged my friend about scentsy so I'm waiting to hear back to see if it'd be worth it. </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: hmmmmm I'm gonna look into this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1463366 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:34:25 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1463366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to participate in focus groups and they paid me like $300/hour! But it was only once every 2-3 months or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1463357 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 11:32:19 +0000 snowjewelz 1463357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I signed up for mystery shoppers a while ago but have yet to sign up for anything! I use swagbucks.com to earn giftgards towards Target to buy groceries/household items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461400 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:41:46 +0000 StbHisMrs 1461400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sell stuff we aren't using, kids/baby stuff on cragslist, Ebay, and a local facebook page. I sell postcards on Ebay, my Mom is teaching me the ropes! It's all time consuming though. This summer I'd like to do what @T.H.O.U.: 's friend does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461398 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:40:46 +0000 sorrycharlie 1461398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried secret shopping - it's eh. It's up to them what is available and what they will pay, so it's hit or miss!</p> <p>I just started direct sales and love it, honestly. I never thought I would (when I worked retail, I hated bugging people for anything aside from what they were already buying). But if you find a product you really love, it doesn't feel like you're bugging people or working, really - it's just FUN. wall me if you want more info! I found some useful sites comparing companies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461386 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:32:20 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1461386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do focus groups and secret shopping but you do have to actually leave home for most of them. I have done some online focus groups tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461363 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:15:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1461363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A big cash maker for me is selling baby items at the consignment center. Usually I break even but I get a seasons full wardrobe for her. For example I sell $80 worth of stuff and buy a bunch of clothes for around $100 and feel like I got. A great deal. I even have a friend that picks up cheap baby stuff at garage sales thoughout the year and then cleans them up, orders replacement parts and sells them for more money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461358 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:12:18 +0000 lilteacherbee 1461358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no useful advice (because I feel the same way), but I wanna give you a big hug :heart:</p> <p>And say no to hoes ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461353 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:09:34 +0000 MrsH 1461353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you crafty? Could you make something and sell it on etsy?</p> <p>What about trying to cut grocery costs like coupons , ebates, ibotta, etc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461352 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:08:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1461352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done secret shopping through best mark and a closer look and had good experiences. For meal secret shoppers it's usually just reimbursement without an additional stipend, but sometimes it makes for a nice date night- free dinner! But they will often do daycare shops, auto dealerships, banks, gyms, even just phone calls and for each you may get $25 ish. They sometimes do overnight hotels once you've done a few successful shops and "proven yourself". The downside is that most of them, other than the daycare, cannot be completed with children. Wall me if you want some more info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461350 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 12:05:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1461350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think there might be some bees who do secret shopping. Could you sell Scentsy or Avon (is that still a thing?) or something like that? Maybe you could get a part time job, working 10-15 hrs, at a retail store you like that is close to home.</p> <p>Eta: didn't read from home. Ignore that last one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-make-extra-cash#post-1461333 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 11:56:58 +0000 Ash 1461333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back to work last week (two 12 hr shifts a week) and I haaaaaate it! I leave at 530 before ds is awake and don't get home until about 930 at night after ds is asleep. We decided I'm going to talk to my boss and cut back to working one 8hr shift and one 12hr shift. I really only work to pay for my car and groceries - dh pays for the rest. </p> <p>But I'm just wondering what I can do from home to make some extra money (you know, for my shopping addiction). I could easily pick up hours (luckily I caught the auto correct on that - changed it to hoes) at work but the commute ruins it. </p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
