One of the most obvious ways to produce more cash flow and create more wealth is to increase your income. You can do that by getting a raise or a promotion, finding a higher paying job, or by starting your own part-time, work from home job. You never know. That little greeting card business you start could just turn into a six figure salary.
Here’s a list of 12 part-time, work from home jobs that you could start today to earn more money:
Cake Decorator: If you’re into baking, that’s a unique skill and people love to spend top dollar on personalized gifts. Put your decorating skills to work and start making some extra money.
Tutor: Parents are often willing to spend a few dollars to keep their kids occupied, and what better way than to make them complete their homework and study to keep their grades high. It wouldn’t take long for you to brush up on your basic math and science skills to be able to help elementary kids study.
Freelance Writer: There’s always work for someone who is a good writer and willing to do some research. You can charge by the hour or by the project if you have the skills. Use sites like elance.com to place a work-for-hire ad.
Online Auctions: Believe it or not, people are still making a living by selling things on eBay. Start with some household items that are just collecting dust, and then branch out to sourcing products from wholesalers to turn a quick profit.
Dog/Cat Sitter: Nobody likes to leave their little puppies alone too long. Turn the animal lover inside you into a money making machine.
Child Care Service: Child care prices are outrageous. If you’re already a stay at home mom, why not add a couple of the neighbor’s kids into the mix to bring in some extra spending cash.
Video Game Tester: There is actually a demand for people who can sit in front of the TV and test out video games. Check out Only 4 Gamers to sign up and get paid to play.
Wedding/Party Planner: Anyone that has gotten married or helped plan an event knows how stressful it can be. If you are creative and organized, you can help alleviate that stress for others.
Legal/Medical Transcriber: If you can type, you can make money. Whether it’s transcribing medical and legal notes, or documenting an interview, there is work that needs to be completed.
Virtual Assistant: Even though many jobs are sending people home to do their work, there’s still a need for someone to do some basic office work. Most of which can be done online or over the phone.
Survey Taking: Those online surveys that keep filling up your spam box do actually pay, but you don’t have to pay a hefty membership fee to join them. Companies like Survey Adventure have free memberships and will pay as much as $50 to review a movie or fill out a survey.
Mortgage Broker: All you need is a telephone and a product, and you can start selling mortgage packages to new home owners or people looking to refinance their loan.
Millionaire Money Habit: Imagine what a few extra hundred dollars a month towards your investment fund could become over time. There’s certainly no shortage of work that you can do to produce some extra income from the comfort of your own home. Think about what you enjoy doing, and put those interests into action.

Hi Ryan,
You advertised Only4Gamers.com, but have you tried it yourself or know someone who actually is getting paid to play games?
I went to the website and it requires you to buy a book for $40 bucks.
Seems a little fishy to me.
With Mrs. PT at home this summer, she may give tutoring a try.
Hi Alex,
I don’t play video games, but I actually have Midway Games pretty much in my backyard and I do know that game testing is a legitimate thing. I can’t speak from my own experience on Only4Games, but as I was researching all of these types of programs they were the most popular and seemed reputable (please email me if you find out otherwise).
I do know that they in fact must honor their money back guarantee. They advertise their program through a vendor that enforces immediate refunds. But beyond that, I can’t really say one way or another if Only4Games is worth the $40.
Hope that helps,
Ryan
