Just wanted to share, myLotters. I know most of us are looking for more ways to earn aside from posting here in this site (which I feel that the earning scheme right now is slower than the usual; or is it just me being impatient). I consider myself as a risk-taker which seizes every opportunity that comes my way.
I tried collecting junk before and sell it to the nearest junk shop. Usually I collect aluminum, copper and plastic drinking bottles as it pays more than paper and glass bottles.
I also make baskets out of rolled paper before. Then I sell it to schools as a decorative vase for plastic flowers on top of their teacher's desk & shelves.
I sew pouches by hand and sell them in bulk. If I'm lucky to get a buyer, they would also want me to print something on these pouches. They normally give it out as a souvenir. I also make costumes before for cosplay and props as well.
During way back 2005, I tried to learn HTML for pimping up Friendster pages. Then little do I know that it will also allow me to create websites and publish it for customers. Then later in 2009, I was able to make the most out of it by making sites for Franchise Consultants for food carts. I made at least $8-10 for a 5-page website. Since there are lots of consultants that time who wants to look credible, I offered my extra talent and make money aside from being a part-time franchise consultant. My primary job was a customer service rep for a US telecommunication company before.
I make accessories. Earrings, bracelets and anklets are my favorites because it's easier and faster to make. Then I repack it and sell it in sidewalks. Divisoria, which is a popular marketplace in Manila; is my favorite place to sell. I usually do it everyweek during my restdays from work. If Divisoria is too crowded, I literally roam around and sell it to every passerbys.
I sell my clothes in a garage sale or to my close friends. My friends would gladly accept the deal for me. Aside from clothes, I also sell bags.
I also edit and make layouts for a logo or label. Sometimes, for their personal pictures. The most common commissions I get is for school projects. If there's also the need to edit a video for a school presentation, I also do it. They just pay me for the labor.
These are some of the things I do to earn extra. I am pretty much new about having a home-base job so hopefully it will help me a lot. I am in the process of getting one and make the most of it. If you also have tips and advice just let me know. Happy myLotting!

Good luck with all your money-making endeavors. Nothing wrong with trying out other things to earn cash but one advice that I can give to you is that you find out what you are really good at and you double down your efforts on that skill.

You're a superwoman
I studied HTML but I only apply it on my own blogs. I hate going out that's why I like making money online.
Have you tried Humanatic.com? Spare5 and bitLanders? I hate Spare5 tasks but you might want to try if you haven't. The easiest for me is Humanatic. Reviewing calls is easier than blogging and drawing (boxes).

I will try that. Thanks for sharing. I really appreciate that. Sorry I wasn't able to reply fast as I was busy lately. But definitely, I will check these sites out. It will also help me make more money now that I stayed at home as a full-time mom now :)

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. I am still seeking for more ways on how to earn as I don't have a job right now. I stayed as a full-time mom for my two kids and I am still getting the hang of doing things online.

That's a great list of sidelines. Why not sell them online as well to broaden your market?
