I think that make extra money is one of the most common problem, i heard about a 2nd job, sell copper or other metals, writing on internet like here in mylot, and sell things on ebay or other sites.
Usually i pick up copper and other metals and i write here on mylot. What's your way to make extra money?

I myLot, do surveys and write articles to make extra money. I also use my credit card to make money by charging everyday expenses and racking up credit points. Then I redeem them for cash, which I deposit into a savings account. I pay off the balance every month so the company is paying me to use their card! I also use a search engine that pays me in points to search and I make about $10 a month in gift cards from that--it really comes in handy for birthdays, Christmas, etc. and I don't have to spend my cash.
There are no jobs here where I live, it is a very depressed area of the U.S. I feel almost like I jinxed it--when I was looking for houses I chose this area because jobs were plentiful. As soon as I bought my house and moved in, it all went away!

There are many types of credit cards--just choose one with a very low or no annual charge and one that lets you earn points convertible to cash for everything you buy. It's VERY important to pay off the balance in full every month or they will make money off you, not the other way around! Treat it as a debit card and subtract your purchase from your account balance each time. Keep track of it and when the bill comes, add that amount back into your balance before you write the check then subtract it again. This sounds complicated but you will always know how much money you have available and the bill will come as no surprise.
I don't know if people from India can join Swagbucks (that's what I use) but go ahead and try. There are many ways you can earn there--best of luck!

I be active at several websites in order to earn money. myLot has just become a pretty big part of it for me ( since 2 days ago! ). Before myLot I was very active at Squidoo and I still am very active there, writing articles and promoting them to make a monthly income online. Also always looking to make more money online, for nice money oportunities.

My extra money comes from Mylotting. I also sell perfumes and gets commission from it.
Sometimes some friends would let me help them sell some things and i do get some extra money from them too.

I know of someone who buys things and sells them at garage sales he makes around 20000 profit each month. It is alot of work but he seems to enjoy it. Maybe it is something I should look at doing.

I belong to a lot of different sites plus I write articles. It doesn't make me rich but it does help. I am expanding with my writing and hopefully will be able to do it full time some day. I am on social sites, surveys, spin the wheel, things like that.

probably the easiest way to make money is by selling something-either products or services, or both. well, this is also the most basic.
so from time to time me and my fiance try to sell some stuff to our officemates. i also tried mutual funds once. and i also think that interest-generating money in a savings bank would be considered "making money".
well, that and mylot, and some other online tasks that could generate cash.
i am interested in selling copper, though. just how do you do that?
