There are tons of people who go on about making money online, and I think that what gets lost sometimes is that there are fun ways to use technology to make some extra cash that don't involve websites, and need not involve the internet, apart from logging on here to read an article to get your mind turning on the subject.
I'll go over some ways you can go about earning extra cash that are a bit of a departure from the same old, same old you usually read about online. I'm talking about real things you can do, starting today, that will help put extra money in your pocket!
These ideas may involve a nominal investment in equipment and supplies. My benchmark when writing this piece was to include ideas that would cost no more than an iPod to get started.
Simple Movie Making Cost: $0 There are masses of people who have photos from vacations or family events. You can easily take these and put them to music and create simple movies via Windows Movie Maker. Most computers today come with a DVD burner, and Windows Movie Maker already installed, so the only investment needed is the (minimal) time required to master the application and DVD's which you probably already have lying around the house.
You can refine this idea by adding a LightScribe DVD Burner for less than the cost of an iPod, and personalize your offering by incorporating one of the family photos onto the surface of the disk!
Digitizing Family Photo Albums Cost: A passingly good scanner can be had for ~$100 Or what about taking all those dusty photo albums your clients have lying about, scanning the pictures in and either putting them on a digital photo album or onto a disk for viewing/safekeeping. Again, a LightScribe burner could be added to enhance the value of your offering. If photo editing is needed, there's no need to buy software, as there are a number of completely free tools available (Paint Shop Pro, for example).
Remixing Cost: $0 Also, consider remixing. A large number of people don't know a thing about ripping and burning CD's, but if you're even a little bit tech savvy, you can do it blindfolded. Again, most newer PC's already come equipped with everything you need, so all your clients have to do is supply you with their CD's and a list of tunes they'd like included. You do the rest, and they have no idea how simple it is!
I hope this article has demonstrated how easily available technology (and oftentimes, technology already scattered around your house) can be the catalyst for creating opportunities for earning extra cash.
