During this economy crisis people are always talking about saving money. There are all kinds of money saving methods such as saving electricity, recycling and a lot more.

Saving money is a good practice as it teaches us to be more disciplined and organised as we learn to plan before we shop and in a way this will save the environment. It also makes us think more of the future rather than spending recklessly today.

While people talk about saving money, people also start to discuss how to find extra money or extra cash. You are probably thinking about how to find extra money too. In a way maybe you are thinking that if you can make more money, you can spend less time thinking of how to save money. Am I right?

Well, here are 6 ways of how to make extra money or even more money that you are earning now.

Sell homemade food

Are you good at cooking? Do you like to cook? Do your friends always compliment your cooking? If they do, may be you should consider selling homemade food.

Homemade food such as cookies, cakes, delicacies or you can even start a catering business. A lot of people I know started their food business out of their love for cooking.

You can start small if you just have a small capital. Start by placing your homemade food at other people's restaurant, shops or something similar.

Turn your hobby into business

Do you know that your hobby could be a niche for your business whether it is online or offline? I saw this woman who likes to make flowers out of clay now selling all sorts of clay products, ranging from women's accessories to decorated dishes.

You just need to purchase a domain and hosting. If you want a more professional look website then you probably need to hire a professional web designer unless you already have some skills designing websites. If you just need a simple website then you could just do it yourself, all you need is creativity.

Become affiliates

There are a lot of affiliate programs out there offering sometimes up to 75% commission. All you need to do is find good quality products, sign-up to the affiliate program and start promoting it to other people. You should see money flowing into your account when you start making the sales.

Good at different languages

If you are also good at grammar for example English grammar, you could offer your service as a proofreader or copywriter or even freelance writer.

Telephone answering service

Believe it or not you could also make extra money through telephone answering service. Many companies do not want to hire a permanent receptionist however they realise that their customers do not like talking to a machine. So what these companies did was to outsource the telephone-answering job.

For smaller operations or one man show operations, this person may not want their work to be interrupted with a lot of incoming calls that may not be important. Therefore they let other people to receive and filter the calls for them.
