earn money.

as many of you know, i decided to be a stay at home mom. best decision ever! if you have the opportunity and can make it work there is no greater gift than spending your days watching your little ones learn and grow. but now we are a single income family. i didn't make that much working full time before. don't get me wrong, the extra money was definitely helpful around the holidays, saving up for a house, etc. so this spring while i was growing a human, when i had way too much spare time, i looked for ways to earn a little money on the side.

here are the three easiest ways i found to earn money.

1. sell your crafts/products online. i opened an etsy shop this past april. i currently have two listings; a baby mobile and a print of birth stats. i've had two sales from my site and four sales through word of mouth. it started when i was decorating my son's nursery. crafting is one of my hobbies, so why not earn a little money doing something i enjoy. check out my shop and share! https://www.etsy.com/shop/rachellcate

2. ebates. do you buy stuff online? well then do this ONE additional step and you can earn a little cash back on your purchases. since signing up i've earned over $10 just by logging on to my ebates account before making a purchase. its so easy! and free. log in to ebates. find the store you want to buy from. click on it and you will be directed to that online store. make your purchase like normal and earn cash back! sign up using my referral link below. http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=X02CpTtURs6x%2FTzIc2ObsA%3D%3D&eeid=26471

3. inbox dollars. take surveys, watch videos, play games, and earn money. before i had my son, i took several surveys a week. there are millions of surveys about various things... cars, food and drink, gaming systems. and even if you don't qualify for a survey, you get to spin the wheel for free money. again its free to do! and so easy. now this won't make you rich by any means. but money is money. use the following link and sign up! http://www.inbox.dollars.com/?r=ref20215581

happy earnings.
