Making Xtra moola on top of the day job

I have been surfing the net trying to find ways to make some extra money. I have been looking for opportunities that wont be overwhelming and where I can earn a decent paycheck (at least $350 a month is my goal). I have listed the results of my search below:

  • AGLOCO - Short for "A Global Company." Concept is pretty simple: Join for free, download a viewbar, get paid for actively surfing, and get paid even more for referring others. You can sign up with them using this link.
  • EbookDrop - Largest electronic book buyer. They will buy any book you have to sell thats in their system. Some folks go to thrift stores and purchase books there and then turn around and sell it on this site. As a recent college graduate this site is ideal. I have so many books from school that I have no need for.
  • CashDuck - CashDuck has many different offers. Some are free and some are not. You get paid various amounts for each offer you complete. (I made $140 in two days)
  • Ebay - Good ole Ebay. You know the deal. I am moving on Friday and while packing I have come upon things I dont need or use anymore. As soon as I am moved and settled, I will sell the stuff on Ebay. I did this earlier this year and made $250 bucks. Interesting how your crap because someones treasure.
  • Mary Kay - I am an independent consultant. I have been for about a year. I have been slacking on my game but I will be starting back up soon. Contact me via email if you are interested in becoming a consultant.
Thats about all I have found at this point. If anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment. I'll keep you guys updated on how each one is going for me.

Home Purchase Plan - How I faired

Back in January I developed my Home Purchase Plan (HPP for short). I listed exactly what I was looking for in my new home including my needs and wants. I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants. HOME PURCHASE PLAN The home I want: Price: $0 -> $190,000 $180,000 Ideal Monthly Mortgage (including taxes, PMI, HOA, & hazard) : $1200 (max $1300) $1310 Location: Surrounding Orlando Area Check Bedrooms: 3+ 4 Bathrooms: 2+ 2 Square footage: 1700 s.f. + 1810 sf Year Built: 2000+ 1998 HOA: $100/month max $150/yr NEEDS: * A-rated school district Check * Quick access to major highways Check * Good daycare Check * Nice

Being frugal pays off big time

I have been racking my brain over ways to furnish my house but NOT bankrupt myself in the process. I created a shopping list/budget for things I will need to purchase for my first house. Even after using sale prices for pieces at modest furniture and home decor stores, my total was inching a little over $7500. This includes all appliances, living room furniture, formal area, two bedrooms, dining, office, rugs, decor, and lighting. My facial expression ----> (Translation: "Good lawd dats a lot of money!!") So I started searching through sales papers, visited some furniture stores, and found different areas to cut back on. After recalculating the shopping list, my new budget is around $6500. My current facial expression ----> (Translation: "Uhhhhh....") Now I had only been looking at brand new furniture. I came across a website, Apartment Therapy , that I found very resourceful and pretty neat. I was inspired and started searching Craigs List
