Earn extra money!


In the previous articles, we have discussed debt, credit repair
and establishing good credit. We talked about paying off all
your old bills. That's great if you can afford to do that. If
you can't or just need to earn more money, perhaps this article
can help. I will be discussing ways to earn money. Some of them
I have used, some of them I am just aware off. All of them are
low cost to start up. All of them can be done in your spare
time.
1) Ameriplan - As I have health problems, I have to spend a good
bit on prescriptions. As I don't currently have insurance, I
looked for a way to reduce my cost. I found it with Ameriplan. I
was so impressed with the plan that I (along with my fiancée)
became a broker. Ameriplan offers discounts on dental,
prescriptions, vision and chiropractic services. I researched it
on the internet before signing up. I found several instances of
people reporting that they saved hundreds of dollars on these
services. The plan is $11.95 per month and $19.95 for a whole
family. If you become a broker you can earn commission for
enrolling people in these plans and you also get a residual for
each month they keep the plan. As most people save a lot of
money with this plan, cancellations are very low. The links are

2) SMC Specialty Merchandise Corp. This company has been around
for over 50 years. You sign up with them. The cost is about
$300. You can then buy from their line of over 3000 products.
You can get catalogs to show to friends, family, potential
customers. If something cost $25.00 in the catalog your cost
will be around $8.00. They will also drop ship under your name.
You can sale with the catalogs, on the internet ( though there
are many people selling these products on the net). You can also
purchase a supply of products if your finances permit to take to
flea markets. Again I have tried this out. The items didn't do
to well on the net due to so much competition. However, approx
60% of people I showed the catalog to actually placed an order.
These items also sell ok at flea markets.
3) Tiger Direct- This company sells computers and related
items. Their cost is usually below what you get a CompUSA or
BestBuy. You can purchase items and resell. You can also save
money on your own purchases. If you have a resellers certificate
you can get even better deals or savings on shipping.
4) Another part time business that you can do is a food/grocery
delivery service. People call you and place an order and you go
pick it up and deliver and charge a fee for that service. It
requires very little to start this service. You may want to
check with your auto insurance about using your car for
business. You can either use your home phone or have a 2nd line
put in for this business. Send letters to restaurants offering
ways for them to increase their business. You send them orders
and they give you a discount on those orders. This will maximize
your profit and allow you to keep your delivery charge low
enough that customers will want your service. Pizza and Chinese
places offer delivery. You are offering the public an
alternative to pizza or Chinese. Hotels/motels are a good place
to leave flyers.
5) Do you have a skill or trade that you can teach?. Many
communities have night time education programs in the local
schools. Normally you don't need a degree to teach these. You
just need to be proficient in the subject.
