How To Earn Extra Income As A Single Parent

Many single moms and dads find themselves in great need for extra income, but they do not have tons of free time to take a second job or even third job.When this happens, you need to get creative and find good job opportunities that can work for yourself.Consider the following list:

1.

Affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing is probably the best way to make money on the web if you do not have a ton of money to invest into your business and you want to work 1-4 hours a day.
If you learn this field you can make anywhere from $100-$10,000 a day.You have to find the right niche to promote.Also you have to educate yourself with knowledge just like you do all your life with school.So you might have to go out there and spend a little more to start but then again what is $200 or even $1000 if you are planning on making a couple thousand a month.

2.Freelance writer
This is a great way to make an extra income.
You can write for Affiliate Companies and make money without spending a dime.You can also write ebooks, books, papers, etc.If you are interested in this path check out elance or go to clickbank and set up an affiliate membership for free.Then just start writing the snot out of any niche you wish to promote.

3.Paid surveys
From what I hear this is a good way to make money.
I have heard people making $50 to $100 a day.There is some information about these programs on the web but they also have ebooks about this kind of stuff.Survey scout looks like a good one but I honestly do not know so you have to do a little more research about this topic.I have just heard around that people make money doing this.

4.Affiliate for ebay
This is a very good way of making a nice income.
You might not be the bread winner right now but if you learn how to become a good affiliate for ebay you can make some serious cash.The top 100 affiliates for ebay make over $100,000.

5.You can babysit
There are a lot of families out there who need a good babysitter.
So even if you work a 40 hour week, you can pick up a few extra bucks or you can do it full time and make between $300-$700 a week.

5.Make your own product
You can make your own informational product and have other people sell it for you.
Most of these guys who write their own ebooks or make videos have other people push it for them (affiliates) This is probably the best way to make money but it is also very hard and time consuming.But once you have your product out there you can make tons of money having you and affiliates sell it for you.

These ideas are great for the single parent or the stay home parent.I honestly started out babysitting and then I went on to becoming a good affiliate for money making products.This is a great industry to get into because I feel with the way the country is right now everyone is looking for a way of more income.The diet industry is also a very good niche to checkout.

All I recommend is that you do not try to do all industries because it becomes too much and then you wind up making nothing.Remember that any business you get into you are going to have to spend money in the beginning.So educate yourself and buy a couple of eBooks and cds on this before you get into it.

10 Resourceful Ways to Recycle Digital Or Small-Ticket Products

Have your product sales slowed down

Do you want to give a new lease of life to one of your digital or small-ticket products

At home, Ive earned the title of Queen of the left-overs. Did you know that left-over spaghetti sauce can be recycled Add a bit of cumin and chilli, it becomes taco sauce; mixed with a bit of white sauce, you have a lasagna sauce; add a few vegies, wrap the lot in puff pastry and you get a pastie, etc.

Using the same principles, you can recycle a product and market it using a different mix: change your promotion, sell it elsewhere, use it to barter, bundle it with another product, etc.

Start recycling a product using one of the following strategies:

1 - Auction your product on eBay or another auction site. How much are customers prepared to pay for your product Use this strategy to research your market and to experiment with a new selling outlet. Who knows, people in their bidding frenzy may pay more than you ever imagined

2 - Reposition your product. Review your promotional and pricing strategies and give your product a new image. Change your sales letter including words and graphics, add testimonials, increase or lower the price, etc. Now sell your new product.

3 - Offer your product as a bonus with the purchase of another product. Sell the bundle as this months special, buy one get one free or value pack. The bonus should boost your sales especially if you point out the dollar value of the bonus e.g. valued at... and add a sense of urgency limited time offer till date.

4 - Give to get. Ask visitors on your website to complete a survey and reward their effort with a gift, your product. Provided your product is relevant to the type of information you are seeking, this should yield a list of qualified leads and supply you with new ideas to create products and boost your business.

5 - Sell your product as a promotional item. This is a strategy I have used very successfully. Ive bundled signed copies of my book from my first printing batch into packs of ten. Businesses bought them at volume discount price and gave them as gifts to their loyal customers.

6 - Increase your database by giving away your product for free as an incentive to join your mailing list. Your offer can be advertised for free on the online free stuff sites. When visitors are picking up their freebies, capture their email addresses and you will gain a valuable mailing list. Note: this database building strategy will only work with digital products or else you will be out of pocket if you have to pay shipping costs.

7 - Swap your product for things you need for your own business e.g. exchange your ebook for a software or another ebook. Your savings will make up for your profit loss. At a conference, I swapped my book for books from my colleagues.

8 - Organise an online contest and offer your product as the winning prize. This a cheap price to pay for free advertising for your product through online contest directories.

9 - Donate your product for an attendance or raffle prize at non-profit associations events. In return, the organisation usually promotes your business by giving you an advertising space on their website or promotional flyers.

10 - Approach businesses with complementary products and find out if they would be interested in bundling their product with yours. Build on each others equity and share promotional costs and profits.

Left-overs are delicious. Recycle your product for a new lease of life.
