What have you been doing to earn extra income? Thanks to my good friends' advice, I am earning a little bit on the side. But that does not mean I'm sitting pretty, I still am looking for other ways make some cash. Some people suggested selling on EBay, I'm a little intimidated by this. They said that it is easy to set up and start your EBay business. I'll have to look more into it since I have things that we have not used in a while. For those who are artistic and make jewelries , artworks or those who have handmade products to sell, they sell it through Etsy.com. If you want to expand your business and start accepting credit cards, you can look into companies that offer Total Merchant Services. They will help you process credit cards which is the payment of choice for most people. If you want to read more into the details of setting up a home-based business, you can find more information at your local small business bureau.
