Money's tight, times are hard. We've all been there at one time or another. Ends just don't meet. You need a quick infusion of cash. Here are some easy money making ideas to put a few extra dollars in you pocket.

Fill a room or your garage with all the things you own that you don't use or can do without. If you don't already have a digital camera, borrow one and start photographing your things for sale on craigslist or eBay. Don't overlook items you can replace later that are just gathering dust. The more you have to sell, the more chances you have to bring in some money.

If you think there are people in your neighborhood who are in the same situation you are, you're probably right. You can set up a part-time business photographing and listing other people's items for online sale. Post some flyers at high traffic areas like supermarkets, laundry facilities and apartment complexes. You can take a straight fee or collect a percentage from each item that sells.

If you have ever written anything in your life, even if it was a book report in grade school, dust off your wordsmithing skills and write. Short articles (350 words or so) on a popular or timely subject can earn you up to $20 at a site like associatedcontent.com. If you have the time, it's possible to write up to fifteen articles in an afternoon. You can then use them as the basis of a blog or website.

Use some of the money you earn from writing to buy a domain name and get a host for your new site (or blog). Drop a few affiliate links or some advertising on it (check Google's AdSense program). If it starts to earn money, that's gravy, 'cause you already got paid from the sites listed above. You can then sell it for a profit, usually about ten times its monthly average income.

I know that for some people, even the cost of a domain name and hosting is too much right now, they need every dime they can hold on to. If that's the case use a free online site. I recommend Squidoo.com (because they are one of the only free sites that allows you to sell yours to someone else) and blogger.com (because they allow you to have your own AdSense account on it). Use the articles that you were previously paid for as the starting point for your sites.

If you do a simple re-write of your articles (around 30% re-written), you can submit them to article directories. Include links back to your site and you'll get a boost of some traffic for every article you send in. Then, you can socially bookmark your articles and your site to drive more traffic.

With a little thought, and some work, you can create money online with these and other resources. Investigate thoroughly any claims that you can earn hundreds or thousands in a few days after 'joining' a program. It's best to keep your hand on your wallet while you check those offers out.
