Everyone needs extra money these days.
Unemployment rates are staggering and the economy is in upheaval.
Businesses are cutting back, and people are lucky to find themselves with jobs, even if their hours or pay have gone down.
Single parents have it more difficult than a lot of others, because it is nearly impossible for them to work two jobs due to time constraints.
More often now, single parents are providing day care for people in their neighborhoods or towns.
Childcare is definitely in high demand, and could prove to be a lucrative option, as your client list would grow quickly, even if your only advertisement was word of mouth.
If you aren't comfortable with childcare, perhaps pet care would be a better choice for you.
Pet services are frequently being sought in many areas.
Put a small advertisement in the newspaper and you would probably be surprised at the results you will see.
Online survey sites appeal to many people, because you get paid for simply answering a few questions.
These sites will ask you some initial questions, so that they can provide you with the surveys which you would most like to complete.
Finally, you may want to think on a more old fashioned level and provide yard work services for people or apply to deliver newspapers.
When it comes to making more money, you have to start with what you can find so that you can provide your family or yourself with what is needed.
Then after your needs are met, start looking at ways to make even more cash.
